Mr. Peppermint is a low-maintenance guy. Miss Peppermint is not. While Mr. Peppermint has not gotten his hair cut within the last year, I dutifully get mine trimmed every six to eight weeks. As the wedding day approaches though, he’s been discussing with me his “wedding look”. He’s come to the conclusion that he wants to get his mane cut (the length is seriously down to his shoulders by now). First, though, he wanted to wait until after his bachelor party–it’s very symbolic, you see. I think it’s actually so he can one day show our children how long it was and say how Miss Peppermint took away his strength a la Samson. This is coming from the same guy who wore the same t-shirt in all of his school photos so he could tell his children he only wore one shirt.

So, now that he had his bachelor party and the summer heat has almost reached 100 degrees, he did it. (We decided to take the before/after shots like they do on makeover shows: he must look miserable before and then transform into a happy, changed man in the after photo. See what a haircut can do, people??)

I, on the other hand, have decided to grow my hair out for the wedding in an effort to gain Mr. Peppermint’s strength. I’m hoping for a few more inches by December. I’ve heard that hair grows a half inch every five weeks. We shall see…
