I woke up this morning feeling like—as my friend, Lily, so delicately puts it—dog shit on the bottom of God’s shoe. Also, furious. But I pulled on my swimsuit, intending to take it out in the water. Except I was 90 minutes early.
Fury boiled.
I raced to the nearest salon. “Can someone cut my hair right now?”
“Yes!” the hapless pixie piped. “And today all haircuts are $10!”
“Great. Shave it all off. I can’t stand it another second. I’m tired of trying to look like something.”
She did.
And I left feeling like my outside finally matched my inside. Furious. And the closest I’ll ever come to looking like Charlize Theron.
Furious helps. Furious brings the Bad-Ass, which is now in full display.
I roared off to misbehave and brought home two bags full of art supplies. Now we’ll see what fury can really do.

You make Fury look wicked stylish, Sandy. Just sayin’…

And it feels like I’m petting my cat when I run my hand over it. Double score!

I don’t want to burst your balloon Sandy … but it does look cute!
Mar 07, 2017 @ 15:54:39
That’s okay, Val. Cute as a wolverine.

I love your hair! I have thought of going even shorter with mine lately… you might just be the inspiration I need!! I love your eyeglass frames too.
Mar 08, 2017 @ 08:23:47
You know, you’re not the first person to talk about going shorter now. I’m such a trend-setter.
Mar 08, 2017 @ 19:18:04
I really am going shorter. I love having my hair short (for about a year now) and wish I had done it long ago. It’s fast, easy and animal friendly! 😀

Animal friendly, as in not getting little paws tangled in it? 🙂
Mar 09, 2017 @ 12:43:11
Actually, it’s more about licking and trying to EAT my hair – Emma is horrible about that! 😀

Well, thanks for the partial. That “good-looking man” is Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) of the very short-lived series Firefly.

Aren’t rage haircuts THE BEST??!
Mar 08, 2017 @ 08:22:14
I never knew! So much power!
Mar 08, 2017 @ 10:08:30
Looks bad-ass AND cute.
Mar 09, 2017 @ 12:42:47
I love being an oxymoron…well, moron…
Mar 08, 2017 @ 11:23:12
Been working this idea over…for several recent years…and THAT is how I’ve hoped it would look, including the petting experience. This summer? you go badass grrr girl!

Dear Sandy,
Lori told me about this post after I just confessed to her this morning that I had shaved my head. Different circumstances, but same result. I am glad to know that I am not the only impulsive woman in history to do this. HA! Did it myself with my husband’s sheers. Yours looks much nicer; more professionally coifed. When my head finishes healing I will see about letting a professional even mine up a bit. 😉

Ooo. The “healing” business made me cringe. I hope it isn’t an Auschwitz buzz!
Jun 08, 2017 @ 16:40:09
No, it looked like yours with a Friar Tuck thing happening on the back and crown. Less catching up to do this way. 😉
