My son has been bugging me for a couple of weeks now to let him highlight his hair.  Several of his friends recently had theirs done and I didn’t see any harm in it so off we went.  As soon as my daughter knew we were going to get his hair done, she started chiming in with wanting a new haircut as well.  Might as well kill 2 birds with one stone right?

Well, the haircuts/styles went just fine but while I’m sitting there waiting for Jeremy to finish, my previous landlord goes walking by the salon and catches sight of my daughter talking on her cellphone out front.  5 minutes later she’s stopping in the salon to ask about getting her highlights updated (she doesn’t even have highlights).  You see, we’re about to take this sorry wench to court for trying to steal over $6000 from us so that she could remodel the home we’ve been living in for the past 3 years.  We’ve put more money into the house in the past 3 years than she has and yet she’s trying to blame us for the air conditioner going out, the carpets having pet stains (which were there when we moved in), and other sundry things that are almost all fabrications because she’s mad at us.

Anyway, she walks into the salon and shoots me a couple of looks like she wants to attract my attention without making it look like she’s attracting my attention.  I’m sitting there doing everything I can to remember that I am a Catholic father of two (who happen to be within earshot) and I’m not wanting to go to confession because of this woman.  Anyway, I did a pretty good job of not making eye contact or letting her know I even recognized her but as soon as she stepped out of the door I started texting everyone I could think of so that I could vent some of my pent up aggression.  I guess I still had a little left.

My attorney is supposed to send her a letter tomorrow trying to avoid small claims court but we’re not real confident that it will happen.  The good news is that we have a full set of photographs of the house when we moved in and when we moved out.  Comparing those two, I don’t think any judge will allow her to get away with what she’s doing.  Pray for us, we’ll really need it.
