Eeeee! T-minus 32 minutes and counting before I go get my hair cut!
This is not a huge deal for most people, but it is for me because I am ridiculous. Basically, I have been growing my hair out forEVAH (seriously, about four years) and it is just below my shoulders, but really, still shoulder length. I don't know why it grows so slowly, but the same goes for my fingernails. I even tried taking pre-natals for the longest time because I hear that they help with hair growth. Not for me, they don't. Oh wait, unless that applies to leg hair growth. Then, yeah, we're onto something there, and I single-handedly keep the Gillette Venus razor business alive and kicking.
So, every time I go in for a cut, I just go for a trim in the desperate hope that someday I'll have Jennifer Aniston hair. Hell, at this point I'd even take "the Rachel", but that's not happenin', either. I think I blogged before about how my hairdresser I've had for two years is gone without a trace, so I called yesterday to schedule an appointment with someone new. I said, "I'm thinking of getting a shag or something, and I'm really anal about my hair (a/k/a, I'm a slob who wears a ponytail every mother lovin' DAY); do you have anyone there who could do it?" And the salon manager proceeds to tell me how she has the greatest girl who's really good with layering and such, and oh YEAH, "she's almost finished with beauty school and her training." And...scene. Done. MISSION ABORTED. I realize that you can't get experience unless someone gives you an opportunity, but there is no way I'm gonna let someone Edward Scissorhands their way through my already-temperamental hair!
So, I'm going to my boss's lady. Now, in like eight minutes (hey, I get interrupted a lot). I've never seen my boss come back from this woman with a bad haircut, so that's giving me a little bit of hope. I'm hoping she'll just be able to channel her inner Sally Hershberger and give my head some personality. It needs it. In the meantime, let's hope I don't end up with my latest 'do here.
Wish me luck. Eeeeeee!!!
Trying to take the advice scrawled across my coffee cup and "Love the moment"...

So how'd it go? I'm like you, my hair doesn't grow after a certain length. It's just below my shoulders now but my problem is I get bored so I go chop it off. I've been thinking of getting extensions.Seriously, you don't believe all that hair is Jennifer's do you? She's had to have some help.
Come on, you know the mullett is the only way to fly these days. Seriously, why would you want a different haircut? I'm growing a mullett and I'm changing my blog name to "Mulletts Away From Ordinary." Good luck with the haircut. I have the same problem and every time I find someone that can give me a good haircut, they quit. It sucks. I feel your pain - except that my hair grows exceptionally fast.
Grace - oh yeah, if I had all of Jennifer Aniston's money, I'm sure my hair would look like silk, too. Actually, my cut turned out awesome; I'm very pleased with it!Moates - if you DON'T change your blog to "Mulletts Away From Ordinary", I will be so sad. That is truly HIGHlarious!!!!
