cheaper than hair-apy??!

the husband is convinced that my blogs are outlets where i can say not-so-nice things about him. this is so far from the truth. they are outlets where i can say not-so-nice things about everyone. he shouldn't feel so special.

relax, relax. i kid. mostly. sure, i do a lot of snarking and bitching about things on the internet...because i love my internets and, well, when i say that my son peed in my garbage can, they are quick to tell me that they've been there. that their sons have peed on walls and ceilings and all sorts of receptacles, other than the toilet. it is comforting to know i'm not alone.

if i get online and say my husband's perfect! my kids are brilliant! and amazing! and the most stunning creatures to grace this earth! people would not be happy. and they would not be interested. you see, the relationship is reciprocal. people read me and my blogs - i think - because they want some sort of confirmation that no one else's life is perfect either. we all have things like picky eaters and bothersome in-laws and rowdy kids and cluttered homes. if i had nice and braggy things to say, no one would really want to read.

but, i will tell you, before i say something that i'm going to get in trouble for this evening, i'm sure, my husband is great. really, he is. i love him dearly.

but now that i'd said that, we must talk about the hair.

yes, the hair.

my husband, god bless him, was born and still has a FULL head of gorgeous, thick hair. he is so lucky, i tell you. many of his friends are bald, going bald, or balding. now, with great hair comes great responsibility. when you have super thick hair, you need to take care of it regularly, or it can become, well, fro-like.

for years, he had the sticky-up 'do.

i loved this look on him. loved it. he even dabbled in some frosted tips a few times. and i even liked that. but then he decided to shave it bald...and i was there, right by his side, during these hair crises.

i personally am a huge fan of him with a faux-hawk...for lack of a better pic:

but, he's decided - because his hairdresser told him he'd look hot - he wants to grow his hair long. long! but he has thick hair. long hair on men looks nice if you have thin, surfer-boy hair. he doesn't!!!

so, now we are this horrible, in-between stage...where it kind of looks like this:

only a little puffier. and he's not planning to reassess until JULY! July, people!

someone help me here! i mean, shouldn't a wife's opinion count for something!?!! i wax my holy of holies for HIM...and that's freakin' painful. the least he could do is get himself a haircut.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! I can't take it -- this cracked me RIGHT up! I canNOT believe he wants to grow it long. You did tell me that a little while ago, and I still cannot believe it! I have to see this! ;)

Josh finally got himself a good haircut. He's BLESSED also with a full, thick head of hair. Only he HAS to wear gel. He finally went to a hairdresser who backed me up and told him he must wear gel. So, we're good: he has both an a) great hair cut and a b) gelled head. NICE. Jealous much?? ;)

Now, you say you wax it for HIM.....so, if he goes long, so should you.....see how long it takes him to get a haircut.....*S*

Obviously, you have to start withholding the goods. or stop waxing.

i kid gav, i kid.
sort of.

Oh boy...where to go on the husband hair issue? How many characters does this comment box accept?

My perfect husband refuses to have his hair professionally cut. Yes, you read that right. Not even $10 for the local barber (actually, I'm sure it'd be more like $20, but STILL!) As a result, I've become quite a hand with the scissors and trimmer, and DH is constant buzz-cut boy. He doesn't care how it looks, he cares - get this - HOW IT FEELS UNDER HIS BIKE HELMET. Yes. That is his priority.

I only WISH he would decide to grow his hair long (he does have thin, blond, surfer-boy hair by nature). But he won't.

So I guess we can have an inverse relationship...the shorter he keeps his head hair, the longer I keep my **** hair? :)

Oh, Ali, I can relate...unfortunately it is my 7.5 year old SON who will not get his shag tamed! You think a wife should have some say? What about a mother? Isn't that my job...my sole purpose??? Oh well, everyone keeps telling me it looks good...

My hubby too has a full head of hair but being Mr. Conservative it is the same cut year after year...maybe you should consider your husband's different do's a good thing? You never know, after the in-between stage it could be HOTT!

Oh, and waxing your privates earns you nada...'cept maybe better foreplay ;)
