Mexican Bell Pepper Casserole

You know what’s no fun?  Growing out a pixie haircut.  90% of the time you just have to deal with looking stupid.  The other 10% is the two days right after you get it trimmed (because you have to get it trimmed like every other month so all your layers can catch up) when you look fairly decent.  Then day three hits and you’re back to looking stupid again.  And there are only so many ways you can hide your stupid-looking hair.  It’s too short to really do much with and the things you can do with it require 5,498 bobby pins, half of which you lose throughout the day causing you to wonder if your body is absorbing the bobby pins and if at this point you are made up of 50% bobby pins.  You could always wear hats and scarves and bandannas unless of course, you are one of those people who look stupid wearing those things so you get to pick between looking stupid in a hat or walking around with stupid-looking hair.
