Apparently I'm a fat hairy ogre

So yesterday I went to a hair stylist in Salt Lake City (a gift from Guy) and she did an entire 'work up'.

Colored my hair (yikes, it's darker now!) to 'minimize the grey', trimmed/shaped my eyebrows, cut my hair. I've never done anything like this (usually just the barber), but it was a treat and an experiment :).

When I got home Emma was NOT happy. She even started to tear up and got very upset and asked what I did and why I did it and cried that "I didn't look like her Papa any more."

Whoa, didn't expect that reaction (though she gave a similar reaction about 3 years ago when I cut my very long hair to very short). Anyway, she did calm down in time and then sat with me later to watch her show.

At a commercial she turned to me and said:

"It's like Shrek"

"What's like Shrek?"

"You changing. Like when Shrek became that man"

"You mean I looked like Shrek and now I look like the man?"

"Yeah, I liked Shrek better"

OUCH. I'm not sure whether to be insulted because she thinks that normally I look like a fat hairy ogre or be flattered that she thinks I've become more like a handsome prince (though she'd rather have Shrek).

Maybe, it's the eyebrows LOL.

aw, the point of shrek was that the true shrek was the ogre, and the princess loved him best that way! she just loves ya.

Well, that definitely makes me feel good to think of it that way.

That reminds me of when I cut all my long hair off and got a chin-length bob. One of the kids I sit for said "I don't like it. I liked your long hair better." Hey, at least she was honest! lol.
