Well, I did it.
On Saturday I went to the salon and had about 11 inches cut off for Locks of Love. Then the hairdresser cut off 2-3 more inches to style it! I wasn't expecting to go this short...I'm still getting used to it, but I'm generally satisfied.

My birthday was great!
Full of unexpecteds - Went out to eat, and got a bunch of Bath&Body stuff and a beautiful necklace from my boyfriend. And my friends just made my day...my whole week, actually :-P

I hope the nice weather keeps up for this weekend. I really want to go out and get some nice nature photos. We'll see...
