Another Wacky Wednesday

 So it looks like I've come full circle! I've actually made it to the 2nd blog of "Wacky Wednesdays" and I have to say I’m quite proud! I had a very interesting topic today...It seems strange but bear with me.
 So I've never before been sentimentally attached to my hair but suddenly it seems to be a problem. I'm not quite sure the actual reason for this sudden attachment but I have some theories.
 As a young girl my dad loved long hair. He never wanted me or my two sisters to cut our hair and so we always left it long. Up until the 6th grade I had very long hair. In 7th grade I was the lead in our school play and decided to cut my hair in the bob style instead of wearing a wig. (I was a "Flapper" and wanted to look the part.) So for the first time in, well, forever I cut my hair! I loved it short! I felt like I looked older and I had fun with all the different styles. Now, this was way back in 2000 and from then until about sophomore year of college (2008) I always styled my hair in short ways. Once 2008, wedding fever hit and I began to "plan-ahead" for my wedding. I dated my husband for 8 years before getting married in 2010, so once 2008 came around I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I had always wanted long hair on my wedding day so I decided to start growing it out for the big day!
 Long story short (2-years long) my hair was long for my wedding and now we have been married for over 7 months. Now that the wedding is over I want to cut my hair short but can't seem to talk myself into it. I really want the change and the "easiness" of shorter hair but all of a sudden I'm attached. I've never been this way before. My theory is that cutting my hair means that the wedding and 2-year planning is now ALL over. It makes me sad. :(
 I've also formed this weird pride in my hair. I'm not sure how to describe it but I just am so proud of how long it is and the fact that it's so healthy. I know this sounds crazy or wacky in fact, but cutting it seems harder than ever. I never understood when people talk about how they cry when they cut their hair but now I think I may be one of them. I think I might even keep my hair for comfort...I guess it'll be a good story to share. *LOL*
 Okay...I told you this was crazy! But what can I say, it's Wacky Wednesday!
