Ladies, I know you're gonna feel me here.
I'm Becky with the good hair. I'm the girl you see with that amazingly thick hair down to her waist that always has that kinda bedroom look to it, the kind that complete strangers approach me in the grocery store asking if they can run their fingers through it. Now, I know this sounds vain but damn it, I don't have much going on in the body department, I'm average in looks, and my hair is my thing. It's the foundation of a good deal of my self-esteem, my identity. It's my security blanket.
I went to my long-time hair stylist last night for a color and a "trim". She's done my hair for years, and I've never had a problem. I was specific about what I wanted, like I always am. She knows me. She knows how I like it cut. And I tip very well.
I don't know what she did. I don't know how she did it. But she layered my hair in such a way that thinned out the bottom of my hair so bad it's like I have a bob in the front and really thin wispy hair like a tail in the back.
It's a freaking overgrown mullet. It's so bad and uneven, I have to have it cut again just to make it look like something normal.
I ran to my neighbor who is a stylist and asked her what we could do. We have a plan to fix it, but all told, I will have lost 16 inches off my hair.
And... I'm getting married in two months.
I know it's not the end of the world. I know there's so many awful things that could happen in life and this is small in the grand scheme of things and that I should be really grateful that this is the extent of my problems, and I really am.
But it's all I can do not to eat my feelings right now.

One of the things I've always admired about Jack is his superhuman ability to say "No", to anyone for any reason, and not feel the slightest bit guilty about it. You know those guys who push Direct TV at Sam's Club and Costco? I've taken to telling them I already I have it just so I don't have to listen to them try to convince me why I should sign up. Jack? Oh, hell no. As soon as they look at him, he gives them a smile and a friendly wave, but his voice drops another octave (like he's scolding the dog, lol) and out comes a firm "No". And anyone who continues after him just gets ignored.
I am so jealous of that. As a woman, I often feel like I have to be nice when I say "No", and either give a long winded explanation as a way of apologizing, or more often, just say "OK" to something I don't really want to do as a way to keep the peace. It's not something I have a problem with with people I know well (like my kids, much to their dismay), but with strangers, acquaintances and coworkers, I've always wanted to err on the side of being polite, which most people seem to take as an invitation to persuade me.
But dieting and losing weight has made me get really good at saying, "No". It started out just declining the offer of food, but after getting all that practice forcefully shutting down my office's resident food pusher, I found myself naturally starting to say it to other things. And I've learned that I don't need to explain myself, either. I don't need to give a long explanation as a way of saying "sorry" to someone for declining their generosity, and likewise, I don't need to give *any* explanation to someone looking to manipulate or otherwise take advantage of me.
It's actually been pretty hilarious at times. I've had several moments like in the movie Bad Moms, where people are so used to the typical female social dynamic that they don't know how to react when I don't play along.
I'm nowhere near Jack's level yet, but the benefits are already showing themselves, particularly in being able to say "Yes" to more things that I really do want to do. Life is still crazy busy. It's just no longer in an "OMG, I'm so stressed I can't handle it" kind of way, but in an "I'm so lucky my life is full and blessed" kind of way.
How's that for a NSV?
