In light...

In light of my new relationship to embarassment, I am going to share... more.   I have bought a clipper at the local CVS, for $16.99, in case you were wondering.  (One does not buy USED clippers, i am told)  I am considering the full shear. yes, i am .  I think, in part, to piss off my husband.  He is lovely sometimes and having a struggle lately and I feel like I need some sort of signal to the world that I am heading off my rocker.

I have long considered chopping my locks.  They are fairly nondescript, dirty blond/brown sort of listless bundle of hairs on the top of my rather big ears.  After the buddhist meditation day/plunge of a few weeks ago, I spent several days brushing my hair, thinking how nice it must feel to have such a short crop.  like a little boy... (one without lice, please.)
Granted, my boys have long lustrous locks themselves.  Curls or straight, long, long hair.  The younger is frequently mistaken for a girl.  (idiots.)

So. I have the clipper on the counter. Hubs J expresses trepidations.  I think of the cold.  I am scared. Maybe it is not for me. Maybe it is.  Maybe I have a good face for it.  Maybe i've got pimples all over my scalp.  The lice won't make an urban legend of me if I am shorn. (see: mother with throbbing headmass runs screaming through streets)  Maybe it'll be the ticket to jerk me out of a rut I cannot see the end of...
Maybe I'll be like Brittany and start wearing wigs.  Maybe it'll make me all hopeful...  

It might make my still-growing ears a bit of a problem, or highlight the tape holding my glasses together.
gah.

I think it's possible to shock yourself short without resorting to the shear madness of clippers. Go for it. It'll grow back...it always does.

At first, I thought you were talking about shearing the boys' hair!

You would look lovely no matter what.
