haircuts.....

ok, so.....i have had 2 comments in 7 days about my need for a haircut......to which i feel obligated in my own defense to explain that i have about 5 inches more to grow this mane before i can donate it to the locks of love folks....and get on with my life with a fitting style......ponytails do not flatter 50 year olds......i have considered a chignon close to the nape...but that would take a) hairpins which i lack and b)time which i lack......closely monitored hair does not seem to grow nearly as fast as recklously ignored locks......the bright spot has been the greys.....which have nearly shut down out of shame given the glow of my mission.............but all that pales by the shear annoyance of long hair................
