Recently I was bitching on Twitter about how my hair was long enough now that it drives me insane, gets in my face, flies into my mouth, and generally aggravates the living F@*K out of me…one of my Twitter followers asked to see a recent pic, since she’d never seen me with long hair. So here are pics…

This is what I looked like at age 9, when my hair was the longest it’s ever been:

This is what I looked like at age 19 with long hair (with my eldest, who was 3 months old):

Then I cut my hair — because I had babies and babies pull hair, and short hair is much less time-consuming — although I did try out a variety of colors:

Blond–

Brunette–

Redhead–

And even PURPLE!!! (Which I had a blast doing, and got lots of compliments on!)

I tried growing it out in the mid-90′s but it drove me crazy so I cut it all off again. This was the longest it ever was while I was in my twenties (1996, with my longer-haired pal Tom):

And anyway, here’s me with long hair — the pic was taken just a few days ago:

It continues to get in my face, fly into my mouth, and drive me insane. And I continue to bitch. But I won’t cut it off this time — I’m too curious to see how long I can get it!
