(I <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2012/02/how-to-stop-hiding-from-the-camera-everyday-tip-34.html">hate posting my own picture online</a>. This is something I'm trying to get over, so here it is.)

So I finally got my bangs cut, and I love them! No more hair in my face! <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2012/03/tackle-the-little-things-day-everyday-tip-73.html">One more thing to cross off the to do list</a>! Yay!

So why post about them?

Well, for starters, it's about the most bloggable thing that has happened all week. I've been very busy and distracted, but it's nothing I need to write about. My bangs? Now that I can talk about nonstop.

For instance, when I walked out of the salon and looked at myself on my rearview mirror I realized that she had given me Lavinia bangs. (Yes, I had just watched the Downton Abbey Christmas Special. Shut up.) I was very amused by the fact that this is the first time my hair has managed to approximate the hair of someone who's on TV. Whenever I get a haircut I go in with pictures from magazines, and I am always disappointed because I never look like the people in the pictures, so I had given up. I just told her to get them away from my eyes but not to make them too blunt. And then, much to my delight for no discernible reason, I walk out with the bangs of a fictional saint. It's a miracle, I tell you.

The other thing, is that I'm always surprised when people notice that I got bangs cut. I'm not sure why this is, since bangs are the closest thing to having something written on your forehead, but every time someone mentions them I'm a little embarrassed. This is very strange, I realize this, but I don't have an answer for you as to why. <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/01/donating-hair-to-beautiful-lengths.html">Last year, I chopped off 10 inches </a>and didn't feel as naked and different as I feel with my bangs. Maybe it's because they're too "look at me" and I don't actually enjoy being the center of attention? It's a mystery!
