I just realized it’s Memorial Day weekend and I have no plans. Well, no plans that are any different than any other weekend: drink with friends, or drink with roommates, or mate with friends, or possibly even some other combination of the words drink, friend, room, and mate I haven’t yet considered. *g*
I’m thinking about heading to Des Moines to get some of my hairs trimmed at some point this weekend. My hair is getting too long even for me. I tried to measure it a couple of weeks ago and got an average of 14″, I think, which seems pretty long. I have the longest hair in my house, and I’m living with two girls (and two guys) at the moment. I’m thinking 4″ off would be about right, assuming I get it trimmed every couple of months thereafter.
I know I’ve put off getting my hair cut for too long, but the last time was rather traumatic, if you recall (and if not, here’s the blog post): I had hair that was roughly a foot long, went to Great Clips to get two or three inches trimmed off, and came out missing six. It was traumatic enough that I dyed my hair blond (if I was going to have bad hair, I decided, I was going to go all out). And I’ve been afraid to get my hair cut since. In the ensuing twenty or so months, I can remember getting exactly one trim, and that was just because the back was so much longer than the front that I had to get them evened out.
So, other than the haircut, I’ve no ideas. I may have told Sarah we’d be hanging out tonight (she called too late in the evening and I had already turned off my memory), which might be fun. I think today is a bill-paying day, so that’ll eat up a few minutes, I guess. Oooh, I’ve a steak to eat, too! I’d forgotten about that. I bought a 1.5 pound flat iron steak yesterday, had Sam grill it for me, and ate half of it last night, meaning I get the other half tonight. Flat iron steaks rock, in case you haven’t had one yet. They’re super tender and cook fairly fast, because they’re usually sliced a little thinner than other cuts.
And now I’m rambling. I’m off. :)

So…next time you take a head shot, please wear a shirt so I can assume that you’re not naked (see bad haircut picture). Please? And let’s not over-analyze the words I’ve used in this comment.

Yeah, I probably didn’t use the best pic to show how crappy the haircut was. The blond one is after I’d made the most out of what was given me. *g*

frankly, i don’t think that haircut was bad… i was thinking that was actually a nice haircut ‘ceptin the horrid dye job. but apparently you thought the haircut awful enough to ruin by doing that. oh well. you should cut your hair really short but not uber short =D
