Budget CUT ( and The Bachelor)

 

One way that Ryan and I have thought of to save a few $$ is for me to learn how to cut his hair. Ryan usually likes to get his hair trimmed once a month so we figured that cutting back on this expense would add up (pun intended). Now that the experience is behind us, I'll admit that I was nervous. I'd cut hair once before but it has been years. I wanted Ryan to still have a professional look that didn't scream home haircut. My friend Melissa is an actual hairstylist so tonight we went over to her house so that she could walk me through Ryan's first big cut. 

It is intimidating to start up the trimmer for the first time and jump into the haircut. Kind of like that first dive into a cold swimming pool. Thankfully I had a guide there to help me otherwise I would have been too scared. We started slowly since it is easier to go back and cut more off than it is to make cut hair grow back. At one point our friend commented that she'd, "Never seen anybody cut hair quite that way...." I'm pretty sure she meant that as a compliment, right? In the end Ryan's hair turned out great and I think he trusts me to do it again! 

Now on to more important matters....The Bachelor premiered tonight! It was a hilarious kick off to the season, seriously soooo funny. I was missing my best friend Erica watching the show beside me like we used to do back in Denton. The Bachelor is always better when you have people to share judgements comments with. Ryan was following Kelly Raspberry from Kiss FM on Twitter during the show and her tweets were so great we were literally LOLing. I'm not on twitter, but if you are and you watch The Bachelor you should follow her on Monday nights. Was there anybody that really stood out to me tonight? No. I like Sean as the Bachelor and hope he stays true to his character. I want to know where in Dallas his family lives. I like Kasey B. and am glad she's back. I think those girls need to consume way less alcohol on the first night. I'm looking forward to another addicting season!
