long term goals

I've decided I'd like to give long hair another try. I've been cutting my hair relatively short for the last 9 years, I think it's time. The longest my hair has been was probably around 1997 - ahhh, high school, insert embarassing picture here (I'm in the middle). Since then I've been fond of rocking the chin-length angular bob. But I've decided since I've figured out the secret to maintaining my curls (it took 20 years to perfect) it's time to give the length a go. Now, to break it to my amazing hairstylist that I was just kidding when I said I'd never grow my hair long again:)
