Getting Hairy

This picture was taken last Friday (3/10), which was day.... (getting calendar) ... 26. It's pretty much a full fledged beard now. There's no mistaking the intention now. If I were actually going to wear a beard, it is already past the point where I would wear it. It could really stand a trim to make it look even and clean.

I guess next year if I want to do this, I'll know that I can start later to get the beard look so that I don't have an extra 3 weeks to wear it.

It's gotten to the point to where when I lie down on my pillow at night, it freaks me out. I'll hit the pillow and feel something poke me back and then I spend several minutes trying to find a position where I don't feel the beard grinding into me. *groan*
