Did My Wife Get A Haircut??

Emily has a "to do" list by the computer. One of the things on the list is "haircut," which has since been crossed out. Unlike some people, we don't have an aircraft carrier and a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner at our disposal. So consider a green line through a "to do" list item as Emily's way of saying "mission accomplished."

Unfortunately, I could use a major press conference to alert me to Emily's new haircut. If she did indeed get her hair done, it's news to me. Must... be.... more... observant.

Say that reminds me of a kid at work today who asked me if I got a new desk in my office.

"Uh yeah, about a month ago," I told him.

"Oh I just noticed," he told me.

"I like your style,"I told him.

But I digress. Did Emily get a haircut? Maybe she just scheduled it and that's why it's crossed out. But maybe she got one of them touch-up jobs girls are wont to get. What do I do here? Maybe I'll lay low and wait to see if one her girlfirends compliments her hairdo tomorrow night, then I'll swoop in and compliment the shit out of her. But something tells me that's a bad idea.

You know what's a worse idea? Ruminating over the whole "Did she get a haircut or not?" issue on a blog, publishing it, and then having her read it. Hmmm. That would be an awful idea. Kind of like not fouling Derrick Fisher when you have a foul to give and he's breaking towards the ball.

Oh well too late.
