Michaela and I got haircuts today. They took 8 inches off Michaela's hair and 9 inches off my hair. We made our first donation to Locks of Love. It was a lot of fun to do that with my daughter. I wasn't going to make her do it because I know how much she likes her long hair. I think she was skiddish about it until she saw that when they cut mine off it did not make me completely bald.

I wasn't even sure myself if I was going to do it. When we got there the stylist asked me what I wanted done and I said, "Well, I'm not sure." Then, I told her I would like to donate to Locks of Love, but wasn't sure they'd take my hair. It had been a while since I had it cut and it was a bunch of different lengths and the ends were not in the best of shape. So, I wanted to know if they'd take it before I decided what I wanted done.

When it was determined that they would take it at that point I had no idea what I wanted because it meant that more got cut off then if they were not going to take it. I was going to go short anyway, just not quite as short. So, she gave me a style book and I found something I liked. Michaela got to look at the style book, too and she got a really cute wedge shaped cut. She's liking it but is adjusting to it, too.

Then, this evening, Michaela and I watched the gymnastics Olympic trials on television. She's really into Shawn Johnson because they've been talking about her at gymnastics class a lot. It was fun to watch that with her and listen to her talk about it all.
