You Probably Think This Post is About You, Don't You?

I am clever. Do you know why I am clever? I'm clever because I've not had a damn thing to post about lately, or maybe I have and by the time I got around to posting it, the thought was gone. The cleverness comes in when I log into Typepad each day and fiddle around with my template. I will either change it altogether, or just change where the sidebar goes, or add a new picture or image or baby counter and the VIOLA! It feels like I have posted. When in fact I....haven't. So really I guess I am fooling no one but myself.

I'm going to get my haircut in about an hour, after Mr. JuJu comes home. I have this rule about getting haircuts while I am pregnant. The rule is mainly that I DON'T GET A HAIRCUT. I've seen one too many a pregnant lady flip out about her expanding ass, boobs, stomach and ankles that she thinks she needs a new look and a haircut would make her feel better, so she goes out and does something drastic like chopping the ever loving hell out of her hair. Nothing calls attention to your swollen body like a new haircut to frame your chubby face. So, there is indeed a No Haircut Rule.

Trims are essential and allowed. My hair is naturally very curly and coarse and in order for it to look somewhat decent, it requires straightening, which requires blow dryers and round brushes and a curling iron and a whole lot of frickin time that I could be spending doing other things. Like playing with make-up.

I digress. The point is that I am going to get a cut tonight and I may or may not come back missing a good portion of hair. Wish me luck and say a prayer to your hair god or goddess or whomever that I just get a trim.

Even though I really could use a change.

First of all, the blog looks great. I need to know how you got the "add me to your list" down there.

Secondly, as great as your hair looks, you should find a maintenance-free style for when you have, you know, less time to do your hair!

JuJu,
There is NOT a haircut that would NOT look good on you! Don't sweat the small stuff!
How are you feeling?

I am getting my hair colored and cut tomorrow because I have some help in the blonde department. And I think you have great hair!

The beauty of being pregnant, is that even if your haircut turns out badly, no one will tell you! Who wants to make a pregnant woman cry? But I am sure you'll look fabulous no matter how you do your hair.

BTW, I love the "Itty JuJu" moniker for the baby...

Your hair is naturally very curly? I propose you leave it in all of its curly glory one of these days and post a picture of it for those of us who may think that statement is just a wee bit crazy! Your hair is always so straight and lovely. :)

How are you liking 'Lucky?' I read it a few years ago and my copy has been on loan a few times since - recently got it back and want to give it another read. May I suggest picking up 'The Lovely Bones' when you're finished with that one? Alice Sebold is wonderful.
