Literally.

In January, I promised Amber (while drinking) that I wouldn’t cut my hair in the year 2009. Unfortunately, I hadn’t cut my hair since October at that time, so it’s been a long 9 months since the wool blanket I call my hair has seen scissors. While this is not problem in general, in the humidity of NYC in the summer, I’m starting to get annoyed. I try to wear my hair down but feel as if it is winter and I am wearing a scarf when I got outside. It is not fun!

Worry not, this is not me trying to get out of my promise. I would never. This is just me making sure you all (Amber) knows how I suffer at her request. Although, I have set a goal for my hair length. I’d like it to be long enough, by January 1, 2010, to braid it and then have the braids be long enough that they can loop back up my head to the top. Like the Dutch.

Okay, the above photo is not what I described above, but I found this picture when I was looking for a dutch style braid and I think I’ll try to do this one as well. I mean, how great is that? It’s like medusa with braids! Worry not, when I accomplish this hairstyle greatness, photos will be posted!
