Funny Story...

I guess it was just under 2 months ago that these pix were taken. Here's the explanation:

I went to my local Sports Clips (as I always do) for a routine haircut. I went about a week before Graham's wedding because I didnt want to have the "fresh hair cut look" that I always have when I get my hair cut. Plus, to be safe, I figured any mishaps would grow out by then.

I went in, met this nice girl who was going to cut my hair. We talked while she told me about my "clean equipment pack" & she tried to get me to buy into the MVP cut. I explained my routine cut (3 guard on back & sides & fade it up to a bed-head, messy top). She snapped on the guard & started trimming.

Literally 30 seconds into it, the clippers start acting up & she has to stop to basically disassemble them. She walked away to get a screwdriver & did some tweaking on them then fired them back up & they sounded great. She went to work on my neckline -- starting from the bottom behind my right ear & trimmed up about 2 inches. She pulled the trimmer away & uttered the word you LEAST want to hear during a haircut...."OOPS"

She followed that with, "I forgot to put the guard back one -- but I can fix it!" What she had to fix was a 2 inch swipe of a clipper with NO, 0, ZERO, guard on it. So it was basically a bald stripe up my head. She said of course, itd be a summer cut but she could salvage as much as possible. The end result is what you see above.

Long story short - she finished, yes I paid for it, but didn't tip her. I left angry & called Mel right away.

The reason I am posting this TODAY is because today is the first haircut I've had since this incident. Like I said, almost 2 MONTHS between cuts.

I know it happens to everyone sometime in their life & the difference between a bad haircut & a good haircut is about a week (or in my case 7 weeks) but I couldn't believe what I saw when I saw the above pix. Luckily I can laugh about it now.

PS - I am happy with today's haircut.

ahem, anyone there?

Hey, yeah, so I have strung a couple entries together as of late & actually added a follower widget on the right hand side of the page....interestingly enough, either no one has seen it, bothered to utilize it, or just no one visits anymore. I suppose I could take the blame on that since I pretty much let this fall by the wayside.

However, if you all "follow" me on here, then I'll definitely try to hold my end of the bargain to keep some new material on here.

ALSO -- our MobileMe subscription is about up & its what we used to host our pictures (that I havent updated in ages, again...sorry bout that)

So instead of paying $99/yr Im wondering if anyone out there has any good photo hosting sites that I should look into. I think Snapfish is where I'm leaning, but not sold yet.

What do you use & how do you like it?

Where is June going?

Im curious, does anyone else feel that this year is flying by? June in particular?

Its already June 14th & I've barely got my bearings on 2009. So far this year we've celebrated my best friends wedding, Ethan's 1st birthday, & our 4th wedding anniversary among lots of other things! We have about 5 more weddings, 3 of which I'm between now & October & our weekends are chock full until then!

Dont get me wrong, its good to be busy -- but cant a brother play some golf or go see a movie? sheesh.

Im back...

Hey everyone
I apologize if you have checked the blog in the last, oh say, 2 months. You've wondered whats up with us, & when you come to check -- you come up empty-handed cuz I've not done my job.

Well here we go again --- Today was our 4th anniversary. Weird to think that we got married 4 yrs ago today. Time flies when your having fun & flies faster when you have a 1 yr old!.

Speaking of the li'l guy, we installed his new car seat today. Its really weird because now he faces forward in the car & I can look in the mirror now to see him sitting there. I think he is REALLY weirded out because there is so much he can see.

He's a little skinny-minny in the seat now. In his other seat, he was kinda out-growing it. This one is a bit bigger & he looks tiny again. Our little man is growing up so fast & his new seat has made us aware of that notion again!

I'll try to post a pic asap.
