We put an offer on a house, and we found out today that our offer was accepted. Sorry for you House Hunters aficionados, but it was not a house featured on any of my blogisodes.  It is this house:

It will need a new coat of paint everywhere, and eventually new carpet in some areas (unless we have a sudden love of pink and purple.) In case you were wondering, the basketball standard is included. I hope everything goes smoothly to closing.

Who wants a hair cut?

And if I really like you, I will cut more than one of your hairs.

My frugalness has reached a new level.  Brian will no longer be paying $6 to get his hair cut.  Last night we took a trip to Walmart to get this:

I was actually pretty nervous about cutting his hair without practicing at all.  I watched about 10 YouTube videos about it and read the detailed instructions that came with the clippers.  Brian wanted me to start with a #8 so I could get a feel for it without cutting too much off.  The #8 really didn't cut anything off, but I got the feel of it and moved down to a 3.  Brian likes the top cut with scissors, which was the part that scared me, but YouTube came to the rescue and I saw how to properly blend.  Look how well I did for my first try!

Brian looks a little tired in this picture.  Maybe that's because it took me 45 minutes to cut his hair.  Now I just need to learn to cut my own hair...

Cool YouTube Video

Check it out. I like how the one twin even inflects his voice to show he’s asking a question.
