Haircut Story Number 7,859.

My main object in writing this is to change the look of my Blog page for when I log on each day to see what you are all up to.  Even if it's only me that sees it, it was getting a little boring.  So this post is really about having a change of scenery :)

I thought I would tell you that I just gave myself a haircut.  (Cutting edge news, this.)

Of course I always give myself a bit of a clip 'n chop around the front of my head, (where I can easily reach), in between visits to my chosen (no complete disasters yet) hairdresser - who does actually get a little snippy (soo glad I could use that word there), on occasion about my DIY attitude.  But when your hair grows this quickly and a hairdresser visit costs $40..  she's learned to live with it.

(I asked a friend where she gets her hair cut.  She always looks lovely, and I thought that surely I could find somewhere cheaper.  She pays $120!  Sigh.)

Anyway, this time I thought that I would try doing over my whole head.  My method for cutting the back and other parts I couldn't see was just to kind of grope around and cut anything that seemed a little long or thick. I amused myself occasionally by wondering if Neil would notice.  (If you know Neil then you are probably smiling at the very idea too  :)  Occasionally I would start day-dreaming, and suddenly notice that the bathroom sink was getting very full of hair.  It's almost addictive once you start..

It's not a complete disaster.  Perhaps a little 'Meg Ryan'-short-and-uneven in (most) places.  (I wish!)  I've had worse. And - I saved $40 :)

  1. I would charge only like, $85. That's a LOT cheaper than $120, unless you factor in the fact that I have no skills whatsoever in this area, but you never know if I have any hidden potential?! Well hidden... I'm a little impressed that you cut your hair, because I've been loving it lately - I think I mentioned that?! Nice work! You always remind me of Meg Ryan and visa versa - totally cute :) Your hairdresser may get you in trouble if you mention it when you next go in (if you ever do again - now that you can self cut maybe you don't need to??), UNLESS you don't tell her, cause I bet she wouldn't even notice!!! :)

    I like it when you write on your blog ;) xo
