Finally got my hair cut, and other stuff

[jenepherre]

So... I haven't had my hair cut in ages... I trimmed a little bit off before my trip back east, but that was in May of last year. Before that, I chopped a bunch of it off myself... um... a few years ago. I posted pics then too, but I don't feel like looking for the post right now. But the last time I had my hair cut by a professional was in July of 2001. I remember, because it was right before my oldest niece's first birthday.

Well, I finally got around to doing it again. Only about 7 weeks or so before the same niece's 7th birthday. Ha.

before my haircut - back view after my haircut - back view after my haircut - front view (I had totally forgotten that my hair flips under on one side and flips out on the other... guess I'll have to start actually styling it a little again instead of just putting it in a braid or ponytail.) my ponytail after it was cut off - this is what is being sent to Locks of Love the measuring tape isn't stretched out very well, but it's about 16 inches

To file under Misc. - LJ stuff I just noticed (good, for a change):

1 - to link to an LJ user, community or syndicated feed, you use the same code for all of them now: <*lj user="name of user, community or feed here"*> without the *'s of course. No more trying to remember which way to code it, and it automatically puts the correct icon in front of the name indicating which of those 3 things it is.

2 - You can set up a notification for the birthdays of everyone on your friends list. Just go to your Manage Message Settings page and it's in the second section, titled "Friends and Communities." Now if they would just add support for custom friends groups to that, it'd be perfect. Not sure I need a birthday notification for every single person/group/whatever on my f-list, no offense. ;-)

No idea how long these two things have been this way, but they were new to me, so they'll probably be new to someone else too.

Wow! That's definitely a hair cut! I don't think I'd have the guts to do that, but I wouldn't look nice with shorter hair, whereas you look lovely. I'm always proud of those who send their hair to locks of love! Maybe if my hair grows down to my knees I'd be able to do it (haha).
