disappointed

don't get your hopes up...this isn't the promised hawaiian vacation blog. i am still waiting for a photo share party with my friends, they have some great photos i want to put on here, so that post will have to wait.

instead, i am posting about the day before i left for hawaii.

any of you who know me well, know that i have some issues with my hair. i am a stress hair cutter. i usually take the scissors into my own hands and then manage to either give myself an accidental mullet or something equally as embarrassing (if there is such a thing.)

anyway, i recently discovered there is a beauty college only a block away from my house, so i decided to relinquish the scissors into some mildly more qualified hands. i had a photo of katie holmes all ready to go, absolutely positive that those beauty school scissors could magically transform me into beautiful joey.



unfortunately, i left the photo sitting on the table next to my front door. so i entered the salon empty handed. i took this as a sign, so when the cute, little gal, who was lucky enough to get me in her chair, asked me what style i had in mind, i said,

"think of me as your blank canvas. i want a new style, ANYTHING you want to do. if you need to practice something, or if you have any fun ideas, just go for it. i am really open to ANYTHING." and it was true. i wanted a dramatic change.

here is the BEFORE shot (the most current photo i have of my hair, a couple months ago):



now prepare yourselves...this is pretty dramatic. drum roll please .... ... .. .. ..

needless to say, i was highly disappointed in her lack of creativity. honestly, i put just as much effort into transforming the new book i'm reading:



into clark kent:



and that's why i hate paying for haircuts. hell, i can trim my own hair for free!
