The new Walmart is a little strange, but they did deliver on a item that I've been looking for for a few weeks now...a new trimmer.

About a month ago, I reached the limit of my hair. Normally, I let it grow until it begins to drive me crazy, then I shave it all off.

A few years ago I grew my hair out for Locks of Love. It took two years to reach 10 inches, which is the bare minim, then the person we brought in to cut it, screwed up the cut. Nothing like wasting two years of my life. So, I felt that I hadn't accomplished what I has set out to do. When I reached the "shave it off" point I thought, "what the hell", I'd do it again.

No, there's a trick to growing long hair in Texas. You might not know this, but if have long hair in Texas, you're a woman. No really. The fact that I'm fat and have man boobs doesn't help. The last time I grew out my hair I was "Mam" more times that I'd like to admit. When you're in line at store, and the check out person is on remote control, they look up and see boobs and hair, they naturally go to Mam. Then I answer the question in my Man voice, they get embarrassed, I get embarrassed, we all share an uncomfortable laugh.

This time, to put a stop to the laughter, I'm growing out large side burns. (Yes, I get it. It'll be a different kind of laughter). Did I mention they're large. Lately they've been getting a little out of control, so I needed to trim them up. I finally found one I liked the other day.

This time next year I should be bald again. There, that should cover my "oversharing" for the week. I did this mainly for my friends that don't have hair.
