it seemed like a good idea at the time...

oh my gosh, I wish I had a picture to show you because describing this is not going to do any justice to what transpired....last Saturday, Mike let me cut his hair. His hair was really long and I'd been bugging him for a few weeks to get a haircut but he always said he was too busy, or he forgot. His hair was just ridiculous. So he was over on Saturday for dinner (we had a fancy dinner with Melissa's priest friend so we invited mike so there would be more y chromosomes in the room) and after dinner, it was only like 9:30, so still early but we were all tired from entertaining and cleaning and stuff so we talked about maybe watching a movie. I joked to Mike, why don't I cut your hair? and he said, "have you ever cut hair before?" I said, "no, but I can watch a youtube video" he said "okay, do you have clippers or scissors?" so i borrowed some from Ian. It started off okay I trimmed down the back and the top (which was slightly epic because Mike is particular about his balding hair/receding hairline, but it actually looks the best. I'm proud of the top and front of his hair). Then came the clippers. On the video, the girl used clippers to do the back and around the ears. The back was okay cause I had to shave the hair off his neck (boys are hairy there-so weird!) and then i attempted the ears. As I'm going, I'm getting more and more confident and Theresa and Mel are saying how impressed they are and how nice it looks and Mel even asked if I would trim her hair for her later! So I was getting cocky and I had something that was electric in my hands....so the hair around his ears is a bit short and I may have taken a chunk out of one side...oh it looks awful! But at least now I can't complain that he needs a haircut and I can't say that it looks goofy because I'm the one the did it to him. I wish I had a picture of his nice little bald spot. I like to rub it for good luck. Hopefully things will grow out in a couple weeks and then he can get a real haircut and next time he complains about needing a haircut, I can offer to do it for free.
