Now it's gone, gone, gone

I finally did it, ten inches are gone. I'm talking about my hair. Those long brown wavy tresses that I have cherished for years, all gone. I keep telling myself it's for a good cause, (Locks of Love) and it'll grow back, after all.
My friend Gayle inspired me years ago when she and her sister grew their beautiful dark brown and red, respectively, hair to donate. I know it's all the rage now with Hillary Swank and Oprah but I admired my friend and her plan and that's why I did it. I even invited my two nieces to do it too but they declined. Too bad, their hair is longer than their back pockets, their necks are still warm, unlike mine!
