They will see us waving from such great heights...

On Tuesday evening, I finally went in to get my hair cut. Hair cuts for me are a rather humorous ordeal as they usually involve me sitting there mid-task then standing up and saying it needs to be cut, and it needs to be cut now! I have been going to the same lady, Alice, for quite a few years now as she is as entertained by my hair and it's mind-of-it's-own qualities as I am. A couple of months ago however I was unable to get in to see her and ended up going elsewhere only to walk out seething as the hairstylist used a blow-dryer and round brush on my hair. As soon as I told her this, Alice just started busting out laughing as she knew that would turn my hair into a mushroom cloud to rival Hiroshima and that I would, in turn, HATE it! After that fiasco, I was determined to just be patient until I could get in to see Alice the next time I was all gung-ho about needing a chopping. Sure enough, I soon felt the urge to have it chopped as I could no longer straighten it without it looking like a mullet. I scheduled an appointment then had to reschedule it due to an arising conflict. I managed to wait for a week and a half without doing anything drastic after I decided to cut my hair. (I was so proud!) So after finally making it in to see Alice, we got to talking (as we alwas do) about things that are going on in either one of our lives and our family's lives as well. As I was telling her about the past few months (can you tell I get my hair cut VERY infrequently?) she brought up the point that maybe I was only put into Brian's life to get him to the point he's at now so that he can work on things. Also she and I were discussing S. and the fact that we seem to complement each other so well. I love that fact that I don't have to feel like the responsible one. (By this, I don't mean to say that I feel like I am giving up all control, as I don't- just that I don't feel like I have to be the (sole) responsible one) I also love that we complement each other so seemingly well and that I don't feel shoved into a laced-up-grown-up role and have to shove parts of me aside. He actually likes the bounciness and inability to focus on one little thing... And he helped me go through shit to clean the living room last night! Hurray! Alice commented that she didn't think she's ever seen me this happy and I think it's because I've never actually be quite this happy before. It rocks!
