My Hair is Driving Me Crazy!!!

I am chomping at the bit to cut my hair.  Its driving me crazy, but I don't want to cut it so short that I have to get it cut every 4-6 weeks because well...I can't afford that right now...so I'm trying to let it grow another 3 inches before I donate it (which for me could be this fall if not late summer).

I have one friend (who actually started all of this in the first place) who will be very disappointed for me to cut it off, but she doesn't have to take care of it.  Below are just a few reason's I'm itching to cut it off:

• I'm starting to look like one of those women who lives in a polygamist compound (especially if I only pull it back on the sides).
• I keep getting toothpaste in it (no matter how hard I try to keep it out of the way).
• Keep getting food in it.
• Takes forever to dry.
• Its become too hard to curl on my own.
• Its HOT!!!
• STATIC...24/7, 365.
• Constantly tangled thanks to the Oklahoma wind.
• Got it caught in the car door 4 times yesterday alone.
• Got it caught in the refrigerator
• Got it caught in a dressing room door hinge
• Takes twice as much shampoo/conditioner.
• Keeps sticking to my lips.
• Makes for a very heavy pony tail.

Not sure what I'm going to do with it when I do cut it, but sure can't wait until that day!
