Loved the line about the extra set of lips. While not quite retired yet, I channeled your vibe this morning. I desperately needed a hair cut. Hair was sticking out the sides from the back. Unfortunately my hair dresser of 20-some years is out of the country until late August.
What to do? Whip out the electric hair trimmer and do my best. Sure, the back looks a little wonky, but since I don't see that part, I'm good. The front looks well within acceptable range of "not an ex-homeless person's hair cut."
I can make it another 5 weeks. If the hair dresser admonishes me, I can tell her, hey, you abandoned me without warning!
