After putting it off for months, I finally went in and got a haircut this morning.  I seriously have needed to do it for a while now, it has grown way too long.  In the back, it was down to the middle of my shoulder blades (just above the middle of my back) and in the front, it was down, er, to my chest. This is what I told the gal who does my hair (and who usually doesn't listen to me):

"look, just cut it to my shoulders. I don't care.  Just cut it to my shoulders. YES I'm sure. It will grow back.  YES I'M SURE".

So she did. I don't know if it looks good or not, but it feels better.

It was a productive morning. Drove all the way out to my bosses house in the pouring rain, did my house watching duties, drove back here, went to the vet and then to the salon where I got my hair cut. All before walking back through the door to my place at 9:45am.  I have a few more errands to run, but I figure I can do them either early tomorrow or on my way to the benefit tonight. Probably tomorrow. I'm not getting up at 6am again though. No way. Too early for a Sunday!

I decided that I want to make a batch of white bean and chicken chili tomorrow, so I need to get to the grocery store to pick up a few things. I hope this cooler weather holds out! Chili is best when it's been cooking all day when it's cold outside. Makes the house smell good too. Lately, I've been cooking various types of pasta and different sauces. It makes it really feel like Fall. Plus, my place smells great! Italian hot sausages, onions, peppers, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, garlic. My dad always made great pasta sauce throughout the year, but it (and his chili) always remind me of this time of year.

So, anyway, I guess I get to unveil my new 'do tonight at Largo. I have a ticket for a benefit show for "The Detroit Creativity Project".  I bought it a while back when they announced it at the Thrilling Adventure Hour Keegan-Michael Kay guest starred in and, until I was reminded of it earlier this week, I'd completely forgotten about it.  I think there are still tickets available, if you're in the area, have nothing to do, and want to contribute yo a good cause.  It's going to be a variety show with lots of talented people (Keegan-Michael Kay, Marc Evan Jackson, Pagett Brewster, Kumail Nanjiani, etc.).

If you go and happen to see me, don't laugh at my hair....at least not to my face.
