Jinkies!

I got my hair cut Monday night for the first time in months and months and I just realized that I look a little like Velma from Scooby-Doo when I have my glasses on. Ha! I just need an orange turtleneck and some brown knee-socks and I could be off solving some mysteries.

Know what I mean, Vern?

Scout and I often take our daily walk around the neighborhood before I have the chance to shower and get dressed. It just makes more sense, since I usually get all hot and sweaty. Sometimes when we come home, Scout takes a shower with me and then she goes down really easily for her nap. The downside is that my neighbors and the people at the local coffee shop always see me at my worst. Dirty t-shirt. Pants that I wore the day before, thrown on as I walk out the door. Disheavled hair and raccoon eyes (if I was ambitious enough to wear mascara the previous day).
Yesterday, I thought I would throw on a trucker hat in an attempt to hide my stringy greasy hair. Hey, it kinda goes with my Converse All-Stars and worn out concert tee, right? Maybe I would look hip. Maybe it would make me look like a cool kid.
Um, yeah. No. It didn't.
It instantly transformed me into Ernest P. Worrell.
The lesson here is that if you're a mom, you should never EVER wear a trucker hat. Not that you were gonna, but I'm just sayin'.

As Promised...
Sorry about the profanity. But it's the only appropriate caption for this picture.
I hope you can forgive me.

The Mullet Cometh
Monday, March 31, 2008
I am sad to say that I have no pics of the mullet yet. I tried to get some last night after DH had it done, but it was late and DH assured me that since the mullet was here to stay for the next week, there would be plenty of time to capture it in all its glory. You see, DH just got a new job that he will be starting a week from today. It will require him to look...umm....NOT like a dirty hippy. His scruffy neck-beard and beautiful long locks will have to go. For a long time, he has said that the next time he cuts his hair short, he wants to walk around with a mullet for a while before chopping it the rest of the way off. I guess just to look like a total jack-ass....because it's funny.
Oh dear, is it funny! I cannot even look at him with a straight face. He shaved off the neck-beard and left behind some wicked-cool chops to go with his trashy new 'do. I am chuckling just thinking about it. He usually wears a hat when he makes service calls at his current job, so at least he can hide the wavy waterfall and look halfway professional when working on dental office computers right now.
I promise to post pics soon...if he'll let me.
In other news, Scout got her first real boo-boo. She's had plenty of bumps and bruises before, but nothing that has been accompanied by blood. This weekend, she fell on the concrete in front of our house and banged up her nose. I'm sure it won't be the last time.

Around the House
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
Here are some random scenes from around my house today.
My new haircut (after I've slept on it and haven't washed or combed it yet:)
A lawn gnome on my porch. I think a bird pooped on his face...
Bob and dog longing to go outside
Kitchen still needs cleaned up from last night's dinner. Bleh.
Stack of shoes in the living room.
The bathroom shelf.

Fools Gush.
Sunday, September 17, 2006
I've decided that anything I say about babysitting from now on is going to be POSITIVE. Seriously. I know that blogs are great for venting.....especially when you know that none of your friends and family are reading it....but I also know that the Word of God says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. (somewhere in James, maybe?) AND Proverbs 29:11 says that "A fool vents all of his feelings, but a wise man holds them back".
Me complaining about babysitting just makes the situation worse. Honestly, I should just relax and talk myself into enjoying it. I am blessed to have this extra income and also to be gaining some experience with a small child. I've turned a blessing into a curse with my bad attitude and whining. Time to change that.
Don't you just love it when a sermon convicts your heart and makes you feel like an egg-sucking dog?
Does this mean that I won't be posting about ridiculous uninvited parenting advice that my mother-in-law shares with me? Nope, probably not. Because the things she says sometimes are just silly and don't really make me mad as much as it gives me a good laugh....even though I will be sharing it in a seemingly mean-spirited tongue-in-cheek sort of way. Hope no one does a sermon on that anytime soon. ;)
I got my hair cut SHORT yesterday. I want to get rid of the black hair dye and go back to my natural color (light brownish), but do not want to use any chemicals to do so. This way, in just 3 or 4 more hair cuts, all the black will probably be gone...and honestly, I like having my hair short. I'm about to go to bed because it's late, so my eyes are all puffy and red in the pic. Nice. My husband said he really likes my haircut, too. And I know that's the truth because we are usually unabashedly honest when it comes to voicing our opinions to eachother about hair-do's and clothing and whatnot. He knows that I'm not too down with his 'fro (yes, white boy had his hair permed into an afro twice)......although it wasn't really that bad, just not my favorite. And I know that he doesn't like it when I have long or medium length hair with super-duper short bangs. I dunno, I'm a nerd, and I like having 50's short jaggedy bangs. With my nice new boy-cut, I can have them and they're not really considered bangs, I guess.Labels: babysitting, hair, spirituality
