a girl and her coconut -- NOW WITH UPDATE!
"Hey ... mom?"
"Yes, darling?"
"You're going to the stylist on Friday... today, actually... right?
"I am indeed."
"Yeah, okay. Well... is it true that by the time you leave the stylist, your head will be round and smooth? Round and smooth like ... well, like this coconut, here?"
"We'll see, darling. We'll see."
___________
UPDATE: Two things:
1. The lovely ladies at BlogHer have told me that I'm merely 28 survey responses away from being "statistically significant." So, if I could impose on you just one more time, if you haven't taken the BlogHer Co-op survey, please do so by clicking here or on the link to the top left.
Please.
I hate being insignificant.
2. I'm back from the stylist, and have showered and messed with my hair myself.
Photo to phollow:
So, sort of a hairy coconut, I guess.
Thanks to all of you for your help!
Now when I said I liked the short 'do', I didn't have a coconut in mind. Just so ya know.
That funny girl!
Mary, mom to many

Your pictures are always beautiful. If I had my way, your house would be full of framed pictures of your beautiful girl.

Huh? You're kidding, right?

That is the sweetest picture ever!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Don't make me say this.... will she be "puttin' the lime in de coconut" now? Sorry, could not stop myself. Such a cutie - but I notice this is one of only a few I can recall where she doesn't have a HUGE toothy grin on her face. It makes her look older (definitely four) and a tiny bit mysterious. Oh Karen and Marcus... I can see into your future and you should definitely see if you can arrange that marriage to one of those two cute boys. Either that or bring back the muu-muu as fashion statement!

Ok this is crazy! I found myself sitting here at my computer going "OH Karen gets a haircut today!" and I was anxious to get over here to see what you decided on......now I feel foolish. PICTURES PLEASE!

definitely a hairy coconut. Does the baby agree with your new style?!
Posted by: Lu | Friday, March 31, 2006 at 04:49 PM
Great haircut! Way cuter than the coconut, though not necessarily cuter than the kiddo HOLDING the coconut.
Mary, mom to many and stricken very ill today. My kids are rampaging the house as I type weakly from my semireclined position on the couch.
PS-- I already voted

You are way prettier than any hairy ol' coconut. Lurve it! May I be the first to say...
... MAZEL TOV, SUCKER!

RAR! I'm looovin' it. Very very nice!
Posted by: ToadyJoe | Friday, March 31, 2006 at 06:57 PM
Short! Sassy! YAY! I've been grappling with this same hair dilemma for quite some time. YOU can wear short hair beautifully. Me? I'd look more like a fuzzy potato with a short cut.

1) I did my part. Voted a few days ago.
2) LOVE the new do! It's great on you.
Posted by: Lisa | Friday, March 31, 2006 at 10:08 PM
You are so pretty - with or without lots of hair. Good for you!
I voted during your last plea. I'd vote again, but wouldn't that mess up the "statistically significant" data? Oh, and you are anything but insignificant. ;)

GOR-Juss. What are their instructions on upkeep? What type of moisturizer will/do you use? CUTE CUTE CUTE.
Posted by: tanyetta | Friday, March 31, 2006 at 10:34 PM
Beautiful!
Posted by: arubagirl | Friday, March 31, 2006 at 11:38 PM
You look great, Karen.
Just took the survey, your significance is rising steadily!
Posted by: sinda | Saturday, April 01, 2006 at 01:04 AM
Your hair looks great! Oh, I took the survey too :)
Posted by: Shna | Saturday, April 01, 2006 at 11:47 AM
Love the cut, the cutie talking about coconuts and the superhero necklace. Took survey a while back, you are significant.
Posted by: Schmoopy | Saturday, April 01, 2006 at 01:21 PM
Much nicer than a coconut! I was worried you had done the bic thing. Ahhhh, but no, you look lovely. You are one of those utterly hateful people who look gorgeous if their hair is short or long, so I just might have to kill you to put you out of misery.
And you nagged me into it, I went and did the survey.
Posted by: Jo | Saturday, April 01, 2006 at 07:36 PM
Out of MY misery. Sigh for typos.
