DD's Journey to Donate Her Hair to Locks of Love

In summary, a year ago, DD saw a girl in the paper that just had her hair cut for Locks of Love. She decided she wanted to do that, so she went to get her hair cut short. She looked so cute with her new short haircut, and she even looks like her mom.

So a year ago, DD saw a girl in the paper that just had her hair cut for Locks of Love. She decided she wanted to do that.

Well, after a long trip in the van yesterday and a lot of heat, she announced that she wanted her hair cut short TODAY (yesterday) - ready or not...

So, off we went before we got home.

It was just long enough to do it so here she is before:

Wow Janet, What a cutie!

Our Sammie's would soooo get along. It was a huge shock when my girl did that last year! She had 13" cut off. She also LOVES the postcard she got from Locks of Love.

Oh, I hope my Sammie gets one. Fantastic Sams sends it in for her so I don't know if they'll attach her name/address or not.

That is is so neat for her to do this! I have always said I wanted to do that, but never have.

I wish I had the guts to go shorter when Mads got her's cut. She totally had enough to donate but did not want it short. Ah well it grows really fast so perhaps next time.

At the Cheesecake Factory I was referred to as "Miss" and my clustermate as "Ma'am" - we are about 4-5 years apart in age!

Did we have this conversation with you back when you were in that tv news segment? I thought we had it cleared up that you are beautiful (cute is implied in there).

You know....I was thinking that conversation happened before too - but this just gives her that extra boost before her show tonight!

Have a great show, Janet!

Well, I came home to Sammie sitting in the recliner chair with freshly washed hair. She bathed while I was at my show and shampooed her hair. She's lovin' it!I DID ask everyone at my show! :)$500 in sales, guests motivated to get a few more orders for the host, 3 bookings - 2 August, 1 September and 1 recruit lead...not too shabby for the night and just getting home the day before.I packed very light, but it was good! Nice not hauling too much!

Same here! DH said after I hit 30 no one would ever call me cute again! HA! I proved him wrong... I call him at least once a week to tell him that someone called me cute...and I'm older than 30! that'll show him to tell me people won't think I'm cute. Humpfff!

Janet~

Tell her her new do is TOTALLY CUTE! (If she likes cute!) It looks great on her! Give her a big hug from me and tell her that she is such a sweetie and I love her heart and how she is always thinking of others! She makes Jesus smile a lot!

And she is a little mini-me of YOU!! No mistaking who's daughter she is!
