A Vapid Post About Hair and Chipmunk Cheeks

Here's a funny picture of me dressed like an urban lumberjack to collect sap. I post it because I think it was the same day that I asked Millie to trim my gross hair.  She trimmed off four inches, and then I just kept cutting in a vain attempt to make my face look less chubby. (Both meanings of "vain" apply here.)

I put down the scissors not too long after Piper screeched to the other girls, "Mama's ruined her hair!!!," so I stopped short of the angled bob or pixie cut OR shaved head I was moving toward.  Then I had Millie hide the scissors; I truly did. The experiment was not a clear success.  I am still chubby, but now I also look morose...and middle-aged.

Until Susannah told me to make a "poochie lips face."  

This is a "poochie lips face."

And I'm still tempted by the scissors...
