bangs, day 181

I've officially been growing out my bangs for almost 6 full months now.  The yuck ends have been trimmed off a couple times, but basically, they've just been growing.  Slowly.

I decided I might as well post this now, because the growing phase is going to come to an end within the next few weeks.  That's right, now that summer is on its way out, I'm going to be cutting them again.  I liked having bangs.  Real bangs, that is.  I'll also be saying goodbye to the blonde.  Time to darken it up and then go red once my tan fades into oblivion.  Sigh.

Fall, I'm ready for you.

Bangs, Day 104

Lookee who's bangs are now officially long enough to clip back without having to hairspray them to death!

Hooray!

Of course, now I'm getting the itch to cut them again...

bangs, day 56

Tonight I'm actually changing the hair up again, so why not post a before pic, right?  It's been almost two months since I decided to start growing out the bangs, so here's where I'm at today:

They're growing, sure, but still at that awkward length- too short to really clip back, too long to leave down, oh and then there's that awesomely weird cowlick I now sport that makes it difficult to swoop them off to the side. 

Sigh.

However, my good friend Holly provided me with some adorable bobby pins she made, so I will be sporting these soon enough:

Aren't they cute??  You can see more of her fantastic crafty creations at her Etsy shop- she's one part of The Lovely Wrecks along with her friend Brandi. 

I have absolutely nothing else to report right now as far as writing goes.  Things have literally been at a standstill because of all the crap going on- it was a rough week for us last week with two funerals in five days.  The next month ahead is so busy that sometimes I feel like I want to throw up.  And I shouldn't whine- most of it is fun, social stuff, after all.  I just start to feel panicky when I don't have enough Josie time, I guess. 

Oh yea, and by the way, I'm going blonde tonight.  Yay.

Bangs, Day 23

I feel like it's taking way longer than I ever remember it taking for my bangs to grow out this time.  I've developed this weird cowlick thing on the right side of my forehead, making it almost impossible to swoop my bangs off to the left.  This has never happened before.  So yea.  The growing-out process is very, very painful this time around.  It's been over two weeks since my last hair post, and um, yea.  They still seem pretty much the same length to me.

Also?  For some reason, I'm so tired today I feel like my face is melting off.  Our coffeemaker, our beloved Keurig, is broken at work so I had to stop for a giant coffee on my way in this morning. 

Yes, the coffee is bigger than my head.  Is necessary.

Happy Friday though!

Bangs, day 7

A conversation with myself this morning:

Myself: Hey, your bangs look kinda short again.
Me: Yes, they were trimmed last night.
Myself: Why would you do that when you're growing them out??
Me: Erm, it's for the greater good.  Now they'll grow out "right".
Myself: As long as they grow, who cares?
Me: Just admire my new highlights, doesn't my hair look spring-y?
Myself: I'm too busy looking at your shorter bangs.
Me: Sigh.
