Reasons to have your husband and daughter to give you a buzz cut:

1) The heat index is 115F. Cooler heads should prevail.

2) Your earrings will no longer be able to hide in your hair.

3) Your daughter's boyfriend will observe that you look like a tough old biker chick - which is oddly pleasing.

4) You finally will be able to see the stuff besides your Bozo-the-Clown summertime hair frizz in a helmet mirror - you know, like that SUV with a texting driver coming up on you.

5) You finally have an excuse to wear fun, pretty, funky, attitudinal hats.

6) Did I mention it is cooler?

7) It is a unique family bonding experience.

8) You finally find out what color your hair really is.

9) It is past time for a whole new look.

10) Oh yeah, the whole breast cancer, chemo thing. Since your hair is falling out by the metric fistfull, anyway, it may as well go all at once.

PS. I really can't stress the 'it is cooler' thing enough.
