"Nobody Likes My Bangs"

That's what I pitifully cried to the husband last night.

I had been planning since forever to get bangs (see my 101 blog). When the kids watch Alvin and the Chipmunks I always admire Claire's bangs. And then there's been a picture of Angelina Jolie floating around lately where she's sporting bangs filming her new movie. That cemented my decision and I had bangs cut at my hair appointment on Saturday.

Comments I've received so far:

Me: What do you think of my bangs?
Husband: Do you want the truth or the nice truth?

Me: Do you like my hair?
Mom: (Laughs) You got bangs, huh?

Niece: I like you better with your old hair.

Sister: You look like an old person trying to look young.
Nephew: I agree.

You gotta love family for their honesty, no matter how blunt.

My coworkers, though, have given me positve reviews. Although it could just be them being polite. One coworker, who I always envy because she's so young and pretty and skinny and trendy, told me that she really likes them. They're the in thing right now and they look good on me. And she would tell me the truth if they didn't look good. So that made me feel better. And then another coworker came in and saw them and said I looked like a high school girl (which made me think of my sister's comment.).
