BRUNETTE VS BLONDE---BANGS VS NO BANGS

I have always hated my hair… OK I know hate is a harsh word but I have at least semi hated my hair. For the most part I’m never happy with it. I know that this might not just be a ME thing…it might just be a GIRL thing. I think we all want what we don’t have; at least that’s how I feel personally. If I’m happy with my hair it’s only for a short period of time, then I’m over it & need a change or a quick fix to make me think otherwise. I’ve always wanted healthy, shiny, thick, long, voluminous hair…brunette or blonde, usually I want blonde when I’m (naturally) brunette & usually I want brunette when I’m blonde. I try to trim it on a regular basis to keep up w/ my split ends, but every time I trim it people say to me “Did you cut your hair again?” In my head I reply NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!.........I can’t tell you when the last time someone said “WOW, your hair is getting soooooooooooo long!”….I haven’t had long hair in many many many years. Did I say many? I always tell myself I’m going to grow my hair out, but my pacience starts to fade away considering it seems as if my hair grows soooooooooooooo slow. Sometimes to hold me over I cut my bangs to keep me from “cracking”! HA! So I’m curious…now that I’m getting the itch to change my hair up again what’s your opinion?

PS: On a completely different note....in general...i think it is SO RUDE to not respond to an invitation of any sort. Email invitation, snail mail invitation, Evite invitation, wedding/birthday/retirement/baby shower/bridal shower invitation & so on....This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I don't like to rant & rave or complain much on my blog but from time to time I need to do so. Sometimes blogging is meant for venting. If you can't make an event, NO BIG DEAL, just respond! It's common courtesy! Especially when someone needs time to plan or shop for a certain event, big or small. Be polite people, a Yes, No or even a Maybe will do. Thank you-I feel a lil better. :)
