Haircuts: A Chinese Torture Method

Or so my 2-year-old would have you believe.

Today, Beckett got a haircut. And I think we succeeded in annoying the piss out of every patron and stylist in the salon as he wailed and squawked like he was on fire. I know what you’re thinking: where are the pictures of this so-called torture? I don’t have any, because I was busy pinning his arms down and hugging him to my chest while the stylist tried not to slice an ear off amidst his thrashing.

He didn’t want a Tootsie Roll Pop, he didn’t want to wear the cool lime green cape with cars on it, and he certainly didn’t want the Clippers of Doom anywhere near his head. Thankfully for my sanity (and much to the enjoyment of everyone’s ears) he calmed down towards the end. One hair-covered red sucker, two sticky hands, a snotty nose and some cleavage full of hair shavings later, this little man emerged:

So in my opinion, the torture was worth it because he looks damn adorable. But rest assured I had her take quite a bit extra off the top. No plans to repeat this again any time soon.

    No one likes a Windows XP When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix remove startup programs.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you slow startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.If your pc has already been aged, don’t consider now it has to end up being replaced right away.
