I’ve been complaining for a couple of weeks about my hair signaling time for the summer cut. MiniMe also has been asking for a haircut plus getting her ears pierced, so I planned an outing for us. I had only planned to get mine cut to my shoulders, and MiniMe kept saying she was going to go short. So when the lady measured out how much of my hair she was cutting off, she measured up to donation length and while it was a bit shorter than I planned, I saw it as an opportunity to do something good for someone. Before my cut got started good, MiniMe’s was done and she went strolling by and I thought “Did she get any cut off??” Anyway, when I was done and walked out, MiniMe was shocked. And I got shocked when I paid because I didn’t realize that the cut is free if you donate the hair.

Of course, when she whacked that first bit off, I realized that my hair was what I called “Air Force short.” That’s the length I tried to keep it when I was active duty because, well, it was easy to take care of.

MiniMe hates it. The boy hates it. The hubby said it looked nice though so who do you think I listened to. LOL Actually, I like the way she cut it though I never EVER would get it cut that short if I hadn’t donated the hair. And, yes, she cut 10 inches of hair off.

I almost got my ears pierced again, but then realized the pointlessness of that for me. MiniMe, however, now has pierced ears, and I didn’t realize just how small her earlobes were until the lady went to pierce them. Oh, and her haircut? Yeah, that was more like a trim, which is ok with me because I like her hair at the length it is now.
