A new haircut = A new outlook on life

I got my haircut yesterday. I don't normally pay for a haircut (Thanks Jess!) but opt to get them in the dining rooms and kitchens and bathrooms of different houses whenever Jess and I have a few minutes to spare. But alas, I haven't seen Jess since October and won't see her until June, and I was looking pretty sad.

I skipped out on work early yesterday to go and the lady getting her haircut in the chair next to me was very friendly, telling me about her four month old son and how much she loved staying home with him and loved being a mom. She was really kind and was a big morale boost for me. As my haircut ended and I was heaving myself out of the chair. She said, "A new haircut when you are pregnant is like a new lease on life. It makes you feel so much better about yourself." I smiled and thought, "Yeah whatever lady." But then I was walking through the mall taking a look in Gymboree, Pumpkin Patch, and Baby Gap, and I realized I was walking a little taller and smiling a little bigger. Maybe it was the 4 lbs of hair she seemed to have cut off or maybe there's something to this haircut theory.
