Thank you all so much for your kindness. Your comments mean more to me than you can imagine.
I have a funny story to tell you.
Back in the day, I always cut the Coach’s hair; like from the time we met in 1985 until 2015. The only reason I stopped cutting his hair in 2015 is because I spent a lot of time in Georgia taking care of my Mom when she was sick. Luckily, he found a great barber and we both loved how Barber Dave cut his hair; I declared he should stick with Dave. I retired my shears.
A few weeks ago, before we left for GA the coach was super busy and didn’t get over to see Barber Dave. We figured he’d find a barber in GA before Thanksgiving. Then when I mentioned how long his hair was getting, he confessed that he was afraid to find a new barber because the few times he had to use someone other than Dave it wasn’t a good outcome.
Therefore his hair was just was growing. And growing.
He and I were running errands the other day and stopped at a place to have some lunch. The Coach sat down at the table and removed his ball cap. (his mother taught him well)
Me with a sour face: You look like Gary Busey.
My sometimes clueless husband said: Thank you.
Me: That is NOT a compliment.
We decided then and there to stop at a store after lunch and purchase some hair sheers so I could take care of Gary’s hair.
On the drive to the store he asked: Would you ever sleep with Gary Busey?
Me: Oh, I already have, so yeah.
Coach: Really?
Me: yeah, we were both really tipsy one night and it just happened.
He shook his head and giggled.
Wishing you all a lovely Thanksgiving!
I’m thankful for you. And Gary. And barbers.
XOXO

I used to cut my husband’s hair until one day he decided to go to a barber and that was it! They do a much better job than I ever did!

I’ve been cutting my husband’s hair for many years, and thankfully, he doesn’t resemble Gary Busey. Now, if he cut mine…….. 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving, my dear friend!

All during COVID, The Husband has been trimming the top and sides with me hacking away at the back. I know he is ready to find a new stylist but, apparently, is in no hurry to do so. So maybe I’m not as bad at as I thought.
Sending love – because I know the hurts just don’t “go away” overnight.

My husband insisted I cut his hair during Lockdown last year. It was stressful and I don’t like that responsibility, so it was once and done for me! Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving.

I’d like to warm my old bones by a fire like that. So cozy.
That Gary dude, yikes.
I’ve been the only one to cut Coach’s hair since we got married, or engaged. My boys don’t go to a barber until they find themselves at college and a tad hairy. Once weeks before Lad was born, Coach and I went out socially. One of us, the non pregnant one, had one too many. When we got back to our condo, he decided I’d missed a spot on his haircut or something (brain fog since it was over 23 years ago). When I was in the other room, he cut his hair with the clippers while being overserved. It was CRAZY short. It looked ridiculous. I was so mad at him. I think if that happened today, I’d laugh. Age does have it’s advantages.
Glad you handled your Coach’s hair rather than let him attempt it himself. I don’t advise it.

Did I never mention that I attended Cosmetology school? I worked as a hairstylist for many years, so it wasn’t like I didn’t know how to cut his hair. But I preferred how Barber Dave handled the situation.
I’m laughing imagining your honey buzzing his own hair YES, getting older does have advantages like we don’t give a crap about the little things anymore.
Hair is hair. Well, unless it’s yours or mine. 😉

I have never cut anyone’s hair and I never will. Well, never say never but probably not. Just the thought gives me stress. I am not great with anything requiring a lot of hand coordination.

Which of those pics was your husband? The resemblance is uncanny. 😉
I cut Rick’s hair, but it’s not difficult. He has very long, straight hair, past his shoulders.
I hope you have a restful and loving Thanksgiving. XO

Rick has long hair? That is not at all how I pictured him. Yes, I have mental pictures of both of you.

Because of the pandemic my husband has stopped getting his hair cut. This is a huge change for Mr. Business Guy. Now he has his white hair in a ponytail that I describe as going from Jerry Garcia to Willie Nelson. It looks good, nothing like Gary Busey at any age!
