I need a haircut.

My sister has her hair cut -- seriously! -- like, every third day or something. I haven't had a haircut since October.

It's not really the hair that's the problem. It's long and straight, so it's not like any difficult sculpting has gotten way out of control or anything (I'd love to have some difficult sculpting, but I have this thing about my face being too fat for artistic experimentation.) (Plus, I think by keeping my style the same as it was when I was six, I'm holding out hope that Fonzie still could love me).

It's that this time of year, with hair this long, I basically have one look -- the haphazard ponytail.

Not to mention my only accessory is the jewel-toned-hair-elastic-with-strands-of-stray-hair-stuck-to-it.

Hub and I'll go out... all gussied up... like to a wedding or something... and about halfway through dinner I'll look down and see this:

And, yeah, I'll totally flush with embarrassment when I see it, because not only is it a hairy blob and kinda nasty to have on your arm when you're eating, but it's purple and totally clashes with my outfit.

...But then I'll kind of sigh with relief, because I know that as soon as dinner's over and we're in the car, that sucker's totally going up in my hair.

So I'm making it a priority this week. Haircut. Nothing major or fancy (Remember: Art + JB's Fat Face = Fashion Don't). Just... something.

Any suggestions?
