I’m was reluctant to blog about this because it’s so stupid, but my husband deserves a little harmless public humiliation for cutting his own hair today. And it should be known that not even I, with all my numerous cuts and colors over the years, have ever attempted to cut my own hair. It’s never even crossed my mind.

Except for that one time with the monkey safety scissors when I was 3 and my dad fell asleep while babysitting.

But enough about me. Back to Mike cutting his own hair.

Over the past few days, he became so fixated with needing a haircut that he apparently couldn’t wait for the 2 long, tortuous, endless days until payday and decided to trim his own hair.

With kitchen scissors.

Which led to an emergency trip to Sally Beauty Supply for trimmers, and by the time I came home he looked like Christopher “Kid” Reid.

Yes – that’s my bra in the background, thank you for noticing.

But the best part – the best part – of his haircut is the back. Mike learned just how ineffective kitchen scissors are in cutting the back of your own hair. After taking several pictures and nearly peeing my pants laughing, I did try to help make it look like he’s stopped molting.

In defense of this post, Mike prepared me for his haircutting debacle before I got home from work and even said “On the bright side, you have something good to blog about.”

Thanks to my help it doesn’t look that bad. See what a good wife I am? I may get a good laugh at his expense, but in the end I pull through.

But while he’s away at work, I will be removing all sharp objects from the house.

I’m a little confused.

Is this a kid’s candy? Or a gag gift for a bachelorette party?

Puckerooms officially join gummi lighthouses and Hannah Montana flesh guitar as the most inappropriate candies, because really? That’s supposed to be a mushroom? Sure.

Thanks to Jesse for spotting these little gems at Target!

Vacations, holidays, birthdays – I’m always looking for something to look forward to, which leads to a general sense that I’m wishing my life away. All week long I look forward to the weekend, then the weekend gets here and I wonder where the hell the week went. Christmas gets here and I wonder where the year went.

And I won’t mention that there’s officially less than 6 months until my 30th birthday. Unless you’d like to talk gifts. Then I’m open to discussion.

Still, I can’t stop myself from counting down. The anticipation is half the fun, and there are only 26 days until our trip to Disney where I’m looking forward to lots of this…

For someone who didn’t want to go to Disney three years ago, he sure is happy whenever he’s on those teacups.

Now that the secret about the Red Chair Confessions is out and everyone knows that Talbots has a new sleeker look and fabulous fall fashions, it’s time to put together an outfit! There are so many new styles on Talbots website that are sleek and classic that it’s hard to choose, but I think I found a little get-up that goes with my casual style.

Trouser jeans are a staple (but lets ditch the scarf belt – it’s not very hip and happenin’) with the classic jewel-print shirt – which I’d like to point out does come in womens sizes for those of us with a fuller bust that don’t like gaping holes between buttons! Lets not forget a jacket – the woven twill jacket in honey is adorable ( but again, lets ditch the pin – it’s pretty fuddy duddy) and would look great with any old tee underneath.

I’m torn on the shoes – it’s between the chain-trim ballet flats to match the blouse or the riding boots. I cannot pass up a good pair of flats or riding boots. I’ll sacrifice just about anything for either.

There’s no need to get anxious. Talbots new style is here to stay. And you can add some style to your fall wardrobe with a $100 Talbots gift card! Here’s how to enter…

There was a Twitter faux pas yesterday when ABC News’ Terry Moran sent out a Tweet quoting President Obama before it had been edited and approved for publication.

What was the Tweet about? National Security? Healthcare? The state of the economy? Heck no. It was about Kanye West stealing the show from Taylor Swift at the VMAs.

Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential

EDIT: Now with audio of Obama calling Kanye a jackass!

First, I appreciate that pearl of wisdom from President Obama. Kanye is a douche and Katy Perry said it best…it’s like he stepped on a kitten. Pink wasn’t far off when she said she Twittered that Kanye is the biggest piece of shit on earth, either.

Second, that’s the kind of quotes that Twitter should be used for! Real, honest, off the cuff comments that represent what someone is really thinking and feeling. I know I’ve sent out my fair share of “inappropriate” comments which are actually insanely appropriate because they aren’t bull.

I think I just tooted my own horn. Toot toot.
