Day 224: Difficult break-ups

Today is all about difficult break-ups.

The Cheerleader has been hounding me for the past week to 'break up' with my hair guy, and I just can't find it within myself to do it.

I know going to someone else would probably be a good idea, to bring some new life and freshness into my style, but I've been with this guy for 11 years!

He might as well be a member of my family at this point. I've had him as long as I've had my car and I'm quite attached to both.

Not to mention I'm getting an absolute steal! He cuts, colors, and styles my hair for the amount some women pay for a cut or a style, how can I quit that?

She says I should just go to someone else, then have him do the upkeep on it, or have someone on the show give me a makeover and let him take over.

I can't do that. It would compare it to having to take over my own show after someone did a complete overhaul and did a lot of things I may or may not have agreed with.

I'm waaay too much of a control freak to allow that to happen.

After that long conversation I realized I also have to break up with my cable company, I just can't put it off any longer.

Ok, so it's not as much of a personal connection there but I've still been procrastinating.

Today is the last day of my billing cycle so I have to do it today. I decided to bite the bullet and make the phone call on my lunch break.

At least doing it over the phone is a little easier than face to face.

Wow do I have problems with confrontation. This is just the cable company and I still am getting a little anxious about the call.

I just don't like it when someone won't or can't accept my decision and let it be.

It may take me a while to get to my decision, but once it's made, it's made and there is no stopping me or changing my mind.

Lucky for me today, the gal with the cable company simply agreed with my decision and sent me on my way.

It was so refreshing. If only every break up or confrontation could be that way my life would be so much easier!

I suppose if I didn't give a crap it would make it a lot easier too, but I'm not exactly sure how to make that happen.
