the big nasty is for real

Enough about them, let's talk about me....

I have been really wondering lately if I am a good person, a nice person. I noticed that I complain a lot. Not so much to co-workers, well minus MM, but to my husband, sister, mom, MIL, etc. So I am trying to not be a negative little whiny ass. Let me tell you it is hard. I used to not be this way. I am also very mean. I don't know why. I used to not be this way either. It damn near kills me to be nice or say something nice, unless my kids are involved. I still like having a good time and laughing. I am always joking about something, sometimes at he wrong time, but if I can't laugh about shit, why bother getting out of bed? So things are not they way they once were. I'm working on it though. The biggest thing that has changed is my hair. I have always had hair issues. It is naturally curly, dark brown and used to be thick. It has started thinning. I have my father to thank for this. He looks ok bald, being an ex-army man, I am used to him with no hair. Me however, I want my hair.
So if you don't have thin or thinning hair, you are very lucky. You just can't go get a certain cut or style. You have to really think about what you do. Hopefully your stylist has dealt with this, either herself or other clients, and can offer help and guidance. No such luck last night when I went to get my hair cut. I go to JC Penney's Salon. Not a bad place, I usually have good luck. Well wouldn't you know all 3 girls I have used and trust are off. BUT they have someone available that can give me a trim. When they intercommed the stylist that she had a customer, I should have left. Her name was Minja, yes, like Ninja. I felt guilty, she is probably a good stylist. The last lady who cut my hair last time was middle eastern, I was worried, but she did a great job. We had a little trouble talking. But she was so nice and again, did a wonderful job.
Not Minja. She kept asking if she could cut off an inch and a half. I kept saying no, no. Well, she did it any way. I look retarded. My hair has never been so short, and I hate it. Usually when I have a bad hair day, I just sigh and say, oh well atleast I still have hair. Not today. I'd be better off if she would have scalped me!!!! My bangs are so short, I just pulled them down straight with the curling iron - and they are still 6 inches above my eyebrows!!! Lucky for her I am cutting back on my complaining and being mean. I just paid, thanked God the salon is right by the exit and ran.
