women who cut their own hair......

ok, so in the middle of the lunch rush, my hair started getting in my eyes.........at least my bangs were in the way.....so i took a pair of scissors and trimmed them......into the trash can...without benefit of a mirror........they feel much better...but they look awful.......i will have to trim them up a bit better before we drive to the funeral home in lexington this evening.........larry's widow.....who hyphenated her name, by the way......put a 2 column obit in yesterday's lexington herald leader......that must have cost her a pretty penny......but then her grief is great......you only meet the love of your life that one time......and they were the perfect couple, as late-life couples go.......and they were kind to our daughter...remembering special events in her life.....a lengthy obit that even mentions the cats he left behind is just the sort of thing one would expect/understand from a widow of a short but excellent marriage......i am not so sure that my family could come up with 2 columns.......though they seem to have glimpses of deep understanding of my psyche from time to time......my mother presented me with a gift certificate for a manicure for mother's day.......and my middle child remarked later, in a whisper........mom, you're not the manicure type....what was grandma thinking?.........he is right, i am not the manicure type.....women who cut their own bangs without a mirror do not tend to be the manicure type.......i do draw the line at decency...i never wear ill-matching clothing, even when doing mundane chores like cleaning closets or painting outdoor furniture......and i always wear a belt if there are belt-loops.......ah well............at least my bangs are no longer in my eyes..........
