Sort of like locks of love.

Now that things are calming down I figure I can update a little more about what's been going on.

My sister, Jil (she has a blog and I'd link it but she's so overly devoted to it. I mean she does have a whopping two posts on it. And no offense but that's just not worth the effort of linking it in), was taken to the hospital about two weeks ago with what appeared to be stroke like symptoms. It was scary and after a bunch of tests and crap, it was determined that she had something called a Chiari Malformation in her brain. This diagnosis resulted in brain surgery last Thursday. It was super scary, especially for her, but she made it through successfully.

The neurosurgeon informed her that most of her head would have to be shaved. So in an effort to make it look less, um, dumb, she opted for a super short but super cute haircut. She was really upset about doing it but thought it'd be better than having to shave her whole head. As a show of support (see? I'm not always a bitch whore) my other sister Jodie and I decided to also chop our hair off.

Here are the pictures. I omitted the ones of me crying. I kid, I kid. It took me over a year to grow my hair to the length it was when JoAnn (hairstylist extraordinaire) hacked it all off. But it's hair so it'll grow back. Whatevs. And I'm a loyal girl so it was worth it.

Here is Jil, in her hospital room, getting her hair did. Her eyes are closed because she was pretty drugged. Lucky.

And me. Shut up with the comments on my hotness. You're all just jealous.

Luca got in on the brain surgery haircut action as well. So damn cute!

And my other sister, Jodie, got her turn as well.

Jodie and I with the finished product. It looks much better after a blowdry and flat iron. Promise.

Jil and I later that day. She's a tough cookie.
