Scissor Hands


Wasn't that the name of a movie or something? I bet i am glad i did not see it. Has anybody noticed how expensive haircuts are any more? One of my friends went to a lady who cuts hair in her home and the wash and cut cost 40 bucks! Not to mention tip! I hate handing over our hard earn money to the hairdresser for so much especially cause most of the time i don't like the style! Every since i have been married to Ross about 12 years, yeah, i have been cutting his hair and also my boys. So it is just stubbornness on my part for not going to the hairdresser. When i do go i get it chopped so i won't have to go back for a long time. That is why you will see me with long and short styles often. Well, today, i was standing in the bathroom thinking i really could use a trim to make my hair more healthy, when my hands just took over and grabbed the scissors. Before i knew it there was hair all over the counter and floor. i was wildly attacking my hair. i was out of control. More and more hair was flying around me and i was loving the thrill of being in charge! Finally, i said, that is enough! And it was finished! i threw some gel in it , shook it around and lo and behold.......i liked it! Wow! i just saved myself at least 40 bucks and i am actually happy at the results. After all these years, who knew?

I cut my own hair once too and had so many compliments about it that I was very surprised. I actually went to a lowcost $7.00 haircut place and hated how they attempted to cut my hair so as soon as I got home I took out the scissors and cut it again myself. I however, haven't tried it since. I guess I thought it must have been beginners luck. I'm scared to try it again.

I am glad you are blogging! I've started a little! I'm too busy to post much, which is probably good because have you noticed how much time one can spend at the computer! It was so great to see you! Hope it happens again sometime and that you can meet my hubby!

Let's just say that I have NEVER enjoyed going to the salon!! I never know how I want it cut and so I just tell the lady to do whatever. The last time I made a drastic change to my hair, I came out looking like Thelma from Scooby Doo. No lie . . .I even had the glasses. My students at school said I looked like her, Tootie from "Facts of Life," and one of the Beattles. It was that bad!!

Kelly - It was awesome seeing you even for a little bit. i have been telling X more stories about you. All good! :) We can't wait to meet your hubby someday too! i checked out your blog and will try to keep an eye on you! Just like i use to! :) And yes, one can spend way too much time on here!

Amy - That is too funny! Tootie??? Wow! That must have been some haircut! Have you ever gone to the other side and tried it yourself? Try it, you'll love it! Join the rest of us salon haters!

Lisa,
I don't think I can cross over with you. I found a hairdresser that I like and trust. I enjoy going and being pampered for 20-30 minutes. And to justify spending the money I reason that I can save $5 a week somewhere else, and since it's my only splurge besides a snickers bar every once in a while I think I can continue with the splurge...at least until the school bills start coming in:)
