I promise you that after this post I will no longer bring up the bangs.
Or not.
But, really I shall try not to talk about it because I realize that it’s uninteresting.
This morning I decided that there was still just something about the bangs that I didn’t dig. I think it was that they were just a tad too long to wear straight across, but just felt funky doing the side swoop.
After a text from my hair stylist (not the bang cutter, but my life long hair stylist who saw my post on facebook) that read: “BANGS !!!!” I knew that I needed to go in and see what she thought.
Luckily she didn’t hate me for getting bangs behind her back. Phew. And when I was there I decided that I wanted them to be just a tad shorter so that I could wear them straight across.
So, without question, she pleased me by cutting my bangs EVEN more than the bang cutter from yesterday. 
And voila, there you have it, the whole “new” look that I was going for. Although I am not sure I ever imagined I would do something so drastic.
I still don’t recognize myself when I look in the mirror. Here are a few things that I have heard today after people see me with my bangs:
Co-workers: “You look younger!”
*Yes please. I’ll take that as a compliment.
Husband: “Can I call you Samantha?”
*Ummmm, I suppose husband. But I do find that strange. Maybe he has something for Samanthas? I guess I’ll just start calling him George.
P Man: “Are you my mommy?”
“Your a stranger.”
“Take your hair off.”
And last but not least, I think I frightened the h*** out of Bents. He just looked at me like “who are you and what’s that on your forehead”.
At least this way I can wear them straight across OR to the side. I like options people. They are starting to grow on me some, but it’s gonna take some time for me to get use to them.
Also, TODAY WAS MY LAST OFFICIAL DAY OF WORK! For real.
I am staying on per diem in case they need me to come in and help in the future with education, but for now….I AM FINISHED! It kinda feels nice. I will miss my co-worker’s dearly, but I have promised them all that I will come in to hassle them frequently.
Letting go of all the stress that comes with my job feels so freeing. My only stress now will be my 3 little rug rats. We all know that they are enough stress to send me to the looney bin so I should be good.
Speaking of stress reliever, I am leaving on a girls shopping trip tomorrow with 2 of my besties, Katie & Kelly! No kids. No husbands. Just women, food, and shopping. Hello. I will be in heaven briefly. I plan to report back with lots of good finds!
And thank you all for leaving such sweet comments and personal bangs stories on my last post!
Girl you look GREAT with bangs! Love! And congrats on officially being done with work! So exciting!!! Have fun on your girls weekend! (slightly jealous)
I love the bangs! They look so cute!
This look fits you more then the one before. Glad you went in to your girl. Anytime I get my hair cut “short”, the kids look at my like I cut my head off. Have fun this weekend!
Omg I LOVE your hair. You’re seriously making me want to try that, which I never would have thought to do. I need a new do, my daily ponytail isn’t cutting it anymore. The comments cracked me up, especially from P-man! So funny. Don’t think I’m weird but I may pin this picture of you because I really love the style so much!
Ok, I had to catch up on all of this bang nonsense! I don’t know where I’ve been! I think your bangs are ADORABLE!! I LOVE them!! It does totally change the way you look though….in a good way of course!! Congratulations on your last day of work!!! That is sooo exciting!! We definitely have to get together now since I am off Mon-Wed!! Have fun on your shopping trip!! I’m kinda jealous…I wish I was going!! Really need some time away!
The bang drama is cracking me up! It’s good to change up your look, and the latest cut is adorable. Congrats on your last day of work!
LOVE!!! So cute!!! Congrats on the last day of work 🙂 Enjoy your girls weekend!!
I think they are really cute. I like that they are too thick 🙂
Congrats on your new work adventure. How exciting!
It looks great! It always takes me about a week to get use to a new hairdo 🙂
I can’t believe how much i thin you look like me now Mando! My brother didn’t know who i was… I was in Beths wedding and he said he said to his wife “theres the cute bridesmaid” and Marta said “Randy, that’s your sisiter!” AND David looked at me like I was crazy when I saw him outside the boys school – I was like yo, it’s me – your ex wife. We had 2 babies together… made me wonder how many other tricks I could play. Glad your office days are over, I love and miss you– and the bangs really do look great 🙂
Now THAT is a nice set of bangs!!! I’m loving the straight-across look for you way more than the side-swept. Hot. That’s all I can say about them. 🙂
And YIPPPPEEEEE for your last official day of work! Let the fun begin! Miss you (still)! 😉
I LOVE the bangs!
Mandi….I love the bangs on you!!! They look GREAT!
I have no Idea why I spelled your name Mandi and not Mandy, forgive me. 😉
I love bangs and got then also (same style that you have now) back in May. But now I’m bored of them and trying to figure out what to do with them, haha. Ah…the worries women go through lmfao!
Looks good girl! You’ll get used to it but if you’re anything like me you’ll go back to your same hairdo for a few more yrs and get the “itch” to change again. It is a predictable cycle for me!!! 🙂 At least you know your forhead is flexible! Bangs or not it looks good! 😉
