It is time to vote again … actually WAY past time to vote again.

If you love me.
If you truly, truly love me.
You’ll vote to cut this mop.

Because honestly? This is almost as bad as that time I kissed J. Turnipseed. Almost.

And just so you know I’m totally obsessing over this in a way that is making even me roll my eyes, you can view my Hair Chronicles on flickr.

   ^well, there’s my vote. since it wouldn’t let me choose my own answer :P

3. OMSH

   That’s my fault.
   I decided to … um … float the ballot a bit.
   And I would have loved for you to have added.
   bwahahaha

   GAH! You don’t love me I see.

4. MMM

5. jac

6. Bethany

   I think it looks fine, but if it’s driving you nuts then chop, chop away! We your readers would love you even if you shaved it all off. Might look at ya funny for a while, but we’d love ya.

7. coolbeans

   I vote to let it grow. Haircuts are no fun! Down with haircuts!

   Hi Ho,
   Hi Ho,
   It’s off to work I go.

   Wait wrong fairy-tale.

   Yes stepmother’ I’ll get right on those tapestry cleanings. May I go to the ball?

   Sorry, I was having flashbacks. You’re do was reminding of the days I played Cinderella to avoid my wicked step-mothers wrath.

   For goodness sake, CUT IT OFF, CUT IT OFF.

   I’m going to nightmares tonight. HEHEHE

9. Holley

   That would be “your do”.

10. Jill - GlossyVeneer

    While I would love to see it continue to grow out, if it is truly driving you mad then you should cut it. No need to go insane at the whim of your devoted readers!

11. OMSH

    I’ll read all comments in the morning because I MUST go to bed, but I just checked the poll with high hopes that you still loved me and wouldn’t lead me down a path of despair. And? Some of you guys - 12 of you to be exact - can bite my big toe. THE ONE WITH THE TOE JAM!

12. SmocknMama

    I voted NOT to cut it, because while I am not tracking with pics and stuff I have been growing my hair out since I got preggers last year and yours is so way better than mine - So NO! don’t cut it off.

13. Emily

    I happen to think you look stunning. *smooch*

14. Lisa

    Normally, I’d be ornery and vote for you to let it grow, but… since you are going to be speaking at BlogHer and need to feel your most confident, I’m gonna say run for the scissors. Just don’t run with ‘em, Mama says.

16. kerflop

    You have done so well. I’m going to be so disappointed if you give into the scissors.

17. Bethany

    Don’t listen to them! It’s your head! if YOU don’t like it, then CUT. IT. OFF.

    Ahem…sorry. There were junior high issues with the popular girls trying to make me conform to their standards, et cetera. Twenty years later I still get a little worked up at the slightest whiff of peer pressure. :-)

18. SmocknMama

    But, Bethany, she asks us first. ;)

19. OMSH

    kerflop - Even if you have to “do” my hair at Blogher b/c I’m just now figuring out how to use a curling iron? heh heh

    Bethany - ah girl, I did this to myself. I assumed most would be tired of my locks by now -either that or mortified at the thickening mushroom. No harm. :)

20. Robin~

    I was totally snarky and voted for you to quit whining and cut it already, but, really, I dig your spiky look. Have you got any old pics of you with longer hair so we can have some idea of what you’re goin’ for?? ‘Cause I think the spikes are the cutest on you, but a bob might totally be cuter.

21. OMSH

    Robin - Y’know, I haven’t had long hair for more than a decade. When I DID have long hair the look was … um … very permed and very big. I did have somewhat long hair around the time I got married, but you can’t see much of the “style” of it here.

    Oh, and it was REALLY VERY DARK then! HA!

    And snark is totally fine! :)

22. MR. OMSH

    EVERYONE! As Mr. OMSH, I believe I should have veto power in this case. OMSH has obviously undermined this post’s voting structure. I say, and take it for what it’s worth, she should grow it out…Something she has not done in 12+ years.

    Also NOTE: the photo does not do her justice. Rarely does she wear her hair in that manner. She typically will wear it ‘off her face’ (proper terminology?). Was she trying to be deceptive with the picture–trying to make herself look ‘bad with long hair’? I’m pleading the Fifth on that one.

    I say we band together and vote for Steel Magnolias!!!!!–no matter how hard she tries to manipulate us!

23. SmocknMama

    OH, Mr. OMSH - LOL, will it be taken well, if I say, “I love you” for that comment? Because that was perfect. And the hair brushed into her face, I may not have met her, but I knew - so manipulative! Shame on you, OMSH.

24. OMSH

    JEFF! - Shut UP! I swear if I wasn’t into letting people say what they must I would TOTALLY delete your comment.

    I WILL ADMIT I push my hair behind my ears, BUT it is because IT LOOKS LIKE THIS if I DO NOT.

    However, I wore it to church today LIKE THIS - so, he’s partially fibbing.

    Mr. OMSH - you are sooooooooooooooo not getting veto power over the bloggers that read this!

    SmocknMama - If you want to love the treasonous lump of Mr. OMSH, love on!

    Geez, where is the loyalty?
    He has his own agenda people - his OWN AGENDA!

25. SmocknMama

    Bwahahahaha - just tell him to “Get his own blog!”

26. OMSH

    I’m trying Smock - I’m trying.

27. Aileen

    Hang in there!! As it gets longer… you might learn to love it. Personally, I want to see it get to shoulder length before I vote to cut it. I bet you’ll look adorable. :)

28. Holley

    I’m caving. Don’t cut it. It just occured to me. When I cut my hair off, it mushrooms, much like yours. But, if I let it grow, the weight of it keeps it down and actually makes me look younger. of course the gallons of blonde highlights also help. give a little while longer. With you waves, it will probably be beautiful. And don’t change the color. I love the color. I can only hope one day my hair looks that good.

29. Holley

    I really should proofread before I hit that send button. Sorry.

30. karen

    Four years ago, I had my hair sheered off to a bob around my ears. When I arrived home from getting the cut, Ross exclaimed, “Oh, Mama, you look like a mushroom!” and then burst into tears (of the heartfelt sobbing sort) because he missed my pretty hair.

31. OMSH

    Aileen - Shoulder length is a long way away! GAH!

    Holley - Thing is - I didn’t even notice whatever you needed to fix in a proofread! HA! Oh, and thanks about the color. I’ve long since stopped feeling insecure that I’m a granny at 35.

    karen - Oh, that is HORRIBLE! And yet,hysterical! Bwahahahaha.
