So Vain, You Probably Think This Post is About You

My hair cut.

When I first got to China, all my hair was the same length. So the fact that I only highlight the crown of my hair was never an issue (but now I've got two colors goin' on, and even Shea Blandford asked if I got extensions).

Now I have it dramatically layered. Not so much by choice.

I was supporting my local Chinese economy and tried to explain that I wanted a few chunky layers around my face. You know how you use your hands and motion like stair-steps around your face to imply layers? Anyway, I walked out with just that. Three steps on each side of my face. Each step made out of a 2 inch section of hair... not exaggerating.

It was so funny it took me a few days to get it fixed. Every time I'd pass a mirror I'd laugh my guts out. I wore it around to see if anyone would say anything. My friend Tracey B. noticed and we got a great laugh out of it.

Then Tim saw (he, BTW, didn't notice when I cut almost a foot off while pregnant with Tanner).

"Did you mean to do that?" he said cautiously.

Anyway, now they are fixed. I don't have a before picture in my files. And of course you wouldn't ask because you are a good friend, and know I'd burst into tears over the big computer crash of 2008.

But here's my question. Do I do all one length or keep the layered look? I'm sure this weighty matter will keep you up at night. Good friends support each other's vanity, right?
