The Haircut Saga

So, my hair was absolutely driving me NUTS! I thought I wanted to grow it out, but I realized I'm just a short hair person! I thought Gayle was leaving for Florida on Tuesday so I called someone else to get my hair trimmed (she does about 4 people from school and their hair is cute so why not?) I tell her I need a good trim - well, it was a trim-plus! I looked on the floor and said, "Whoa - there's a lot of hair there!" I looked in the mirror and I had wings on the side (looked like the flying nun). I had to go back to school and I was mortified! When I walked in the office Barb doubled over laughing at me! I tried to stay out of sight as much as possible. Some of the kids looked at me like I was an alien - some of the girls told me they liked my hair. I just looked at them and told them it wasn't nice to lie! When I walked in the door at home Fred laughed at me! I went straight to the shampoo and did a wash - still didn't look very good. Got up Thursday morning and the first thing I did was head for the shampoo. Looked a little better - at least people could look at me without bursting out laughing! Yesterday morning it actually looked okay without washing it. So, maybe today it will look even better. I am being punished for going to someone other than Gayle! Oh - and here is the worst part! On Wednesday when I am feeling SO ugly and SOOOOO guilty for not going to Gayle the phone rings at 9:30 and it was Gayle! She had a computer problem and needed help. I say, "I thought you were in Florida!!!!" She said they weren't leaving until Thursday. Then after I help her fix her computer she goes on and on about how much she loves me. Talk about a guilt trip!!!!!! I have an appointment with Gayle on January 3 and I will call her earlier in the day and 'fess up so she won't kill me when I walk in the door. Aaaarrrggghhhh.....why does hair freak us out so much!
