So last week, or the week before, I looked into the mirror and realized I needed a hair cut. Sadly a hair cut was not in the budget. But I knew the scissors were at hand. In fact, in the drawer to the left. It was just too easy. I then made the fatal error. I self-cut.

Now realize, this is a serious situation in any case, but as a GAY MAN this was a major error. I am lucky that Cher didn’t swoop down out of the sky and beat me herself. But I was desperate! I had to look my best and a hair cut was NOT an option. So I picked up the scissors and got busy. Truth be told I was actually cuter than I had been for about 48 hours. It went downhill from there. Fast. In 4 days I looked bad. Haggard. Just bad. I see why self-styling is so risky.

So today I went in to my usual gal. We said hello, and she asked if I wanted anything different. I spilled the beans: “before we start, I have a confession.” “I know”, she replied with a smile. “You cut it yourself.” 

OMG. She could tell by looking. It was embarrassing. I had made the fatal error. My gay card was at risk…

Oh look! It’s already St. Patrick’s Day… Wow. The year is totally zipping by. I’d like to just press pause on this life business and just rest a minute, m’kay? Sheesh.

So I think I am almost over this cold. Almost being the key word. My sinuses are doing freaky things. I had mentioned I was sick, hadn’t I? Hmm. Must have only whined about it over on Twitter. Anyway. So being that I felt a bit better today, I actually ventured out of the house on a non-work mission. Namely, errands. I really (REALLY) needed a haircut. I also wanted to get the car washed. I have had that Beetle since November and still hadn’t cleaned it. It was gross. Actually so was my hair… These 2 things were totally depressing me. So I had to take care of them. I also treated myself to lunch and did some needless shopping at Target. Then I came home and napped with the cats. All in all a good day off so far.

Woot.
