I always get cabin fever this time of year. I really shouldn't, seeing that I was in Arizona a month ago, and will be leaving for down South in two days. But every year it happens, and every year I take it out on my hair. As in chop, chop....chop, chop!
This past weekend things got a little out of hand. I spent the last year growing my hair out, and what do I do the moment it's long enough? I have my hair stylist cut 5 inches off, that's what! 5 whole freaking inches!!! And when she suggested cutting bangs I practically did a fist pump in the air. I'm surprised I didn't walk away with a mohawk.
Bangs....
The moment I had bangs I realized that I had made a mistake for two reasons. 1. It took my hair stylist a really long time to style them.
2. I don't do my hair. Ever.
The whole reason why I'm even writing about this is to show off my new look. Until my bangs grow out, I'm going to be walking around with a very small ponytail sticking straight out of my forehead! It's very sophisticated, I know.
In other news not related to my bangs, I rode my mountain bike out to Holland for the Velo City soup ride yesterday and my legs are complete toast today. I've done the ride a lot and figured that 2.5 hours would give me plenty of time to get out there. However, I didn't plan for the headwind that I would have to ride against for MOST of the ride. It was pretty lonely going out but I figured that once I made it to the shop I could just draft behind my friends.
So what did my friends do? Drop me of course. Yup, the group that I normally ride with left me to battle the wind alone. I'm not going to mention any names, but this group did include a certain mechanic by the name of Jeremy and a certain husband by the name of Scott Chambers. Trust me, I threw a little pity party just for me. But only for a moment. I figure that there's only one person to blame if I can't hang on, and that's me. Plus, I had a full bag of trail mix with enough chocolate chips in it to survive for a week. I figured that I would survive long enough for someone to realize that I was missing :-)
Today is a much needed rest day. Only 2 more days until I leave. I hope the weather down South is going to be nice, because I'm going to be leaving nice weather here. The sun is finally starting to show and temps are supposed to be in the 40's by the end of the week. Finally!!!

Hey hot momma! I love the bangs! I'm glad you made a post about them! That really sucks that your group didn't show up. Just thought I would drop by to say hello! Have a great day!
Hot momma?? Ha ha. Thanks, but I think not :-)
My group did show up for the ride. The only thing missing was my legs! I think I left them in Grand Rapids...
That's how I felt when I rode with you, Mackenzie, and those two chodes. See you in 2 days!!!!!!!
At least we know what your mug shot will look like now ;-)
Ok. YOU need an intervention, an intervention of SUN. You are W_H_I_T+E!!!!!
HA HA have fun.
OMG...this post made me laugh pretty freak'n hard Danielle.I can totally relate because I've got bangs now & still not quite sure what to do with them. If you don't mind I may try your mini-pony trick ;o).
So glad I read your post, cuz I am getting my hair cut tomorrow morning!!!!! My is at the same place.....been growing it out, and I am pissed at it! Thought about going the route with having bangs again, but now I am pretty sure that is SHOULD NOT be an option for me......yours don't look bad by any means, but I have the SAME issue, I do my hair.....NEVER!!!!!!! :)
On a positive note, my Mach 429 should be here Saturday!!!!!!! Come visit in So Cal if you want! It's been in the 60's and 70's here! :)
Timari- Yeah, I highly advise against bangs! Post pics of your new bike!
