“If it works for you, stick with it.”
Which is really good advice if you’re talking about husbands…or laxatives…or pain relievers.
But not so much for hairstyles.
I’ve had the same hair for about 20 years. Well, not the same hair(s)..
Oh, and OK a little "bull" heehee
Mr. B thinks “So, what’s the problem?”
This coming from a man who buys 7 of the exact same shirts, at times in the same color, because they work” for him…
When I was younger, when these feeling came over me, I just colored my hair. Red, redder, blond, dark red, lighter blond. Orange (a combo of the dark-er red and blond-er blond)
But, I like my gray hair. It’s easy and sort of pretty. And I earned each and every one of them.
It can sometimes get me a showing of “respect” from young(er) people. They don’t know I am a 30 year old in a 59 year old body…
It has gotten me the Senior breakfast at IHOP. Not quite into the Senior Center TaiChi class though…
So, here I am, in the in-between place of setting up the appointment with the hairdresser or wearing a hat for another 3 months while it grows past that “oh-my-you’ve-changed/done something/need-to-do –something-with-your-hair” look from everyone you meet. What to do…what to do…Or what not to do… what not to do….
-me...not so much "me" as "Mimi"..which sounds lot like "me" ....but not so much....it's Mimi.. really.

Your gray hair is beautiful, Colleen, and I'm right there with you on the style (see my note in your anniversary post :o) Our husbands are cut from the same cloth ... "whatever makes you happy, honey," and they actually mean it. A girl can't ask for more than that.
I've been reading through your blog for the past few nights and love the warmth and love that comes through. I linked to you several days ago, and hope you'll forgive me for tagging you (yeah, I know ...) with an I Love Your Blog award. C'mon by and pick it up when you have a chance. It was passed to me by a new blogger and -- though I have mixed feelings about the awards and tagging stuff -- she's certainly right that it helps us learn a little bit more about the other wonderful bloggers out there.
Kudos to your brother, too, I'm glad he's doing so well with his chemo and will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Just blogged about the same thing..guess great minds work together...cut all mine off and let it do what it wants to do..at this point in my life...it's mine and I can do what I want....
I love your grey hair. I hate when you get in to a hair rut!! My mom is a hairdresser so I can just say do something different and I am ok with that because she won't make me look bad!! Good luck with your "new" do!!
You have beautiful hair! You may think it's an 'unfortunate length' now, but it looks so cute on you. As for Mr. B's advice...I like it. Has he ever 'steered' (saw your bull in the pictures) you wrong before? Love ya.
Love the color of your hair! I have been letting mine go back to the natural "silver" - not gray! I have a couple more months to go.
You do have beautiful hair, Colleen! I've been in a hair rut myself and am going to the hairdresser on Thursday to get a new do!
I've tagged you...visit my blog, "Home Is Where The Heart Is...2" to play along.
Have a great day!
Love your gray hair.. keep it! and that mimi pic is hilarious! I'D KEEP THE GREY.. it's so you!... you're gorgeous!
