** 500 Dollars **
The American Cancer Society has an annual fundraiser thing. You may have heard of it: The Relay for Life? Anyway, the company where i work usually puts together a team and they raise money selling baked goods, raffles, etc... Then the day of the Relay, the team takes turns walking/running around a school track for 24 hours. We camp out, play games, get sunburned. It's good times.
This year, i decided to go big. I've been growing my hair out for about 4 years now. I never thought i'd cut it. But lately it's been getting on my nerves. Blah, blah, blah, i'm sure you girls know what i'm talking about.
Anyway i've challenged everyone at work to come up with $500 to donate and then i'd cut it off. All of it. When i started working here, about 5 years ago, i had it pretty short. Like a #2 on the clippers. Little goatee, glasses . . . think Anthony Edwards in ER in the early days. Sad huh? So i'm thinkin' about going back to that look. It's easy, cheap, clean. I get to sleep in another half hour.
I think i sold myself short, though. I think $500 is going to be too easy to come up with. A buddy of mine came up with the "Save Rik's Hair Fund" where we'd have those that didn't want me to cut it to donate too, and whichever group came up with the most money would win. (All the money going to the ACS, of course.) But i wish we'd had thought of that first. :( Now it's too late.
Wish us luck.
