So yesterday I decided that i needed a trim and since I had some spare time I thought it would be great to go run and get my hair cut. I went and said I wanted an inch or so cut off - to get rid of the dead ends and give myself a little shape. Easy enough - so I thought. But as the hair cut continued I noticed my head becoming lighter - a little too light. (she started on the back and my head was facing down so I couldn't see what she was doing) As I looked up it appeared as though the back was cut a little too short - for one reason I could barely feel hair touching my neck! WTF did she do??? Hasn't she heard of taking it slow....a little bit at a time! Rule one of hair cutting, you can always take more off but you can NEVER add it!! By this point it was a little too late to change what she was doing but the expression on my face and the response to her question is this too short - "um....it is different" was enough for her to realize she was not doing what I asked. UGH!!!
Yes I wanted it slightly shorter - but where she was going with this was horrible. I just sat there in the chair while she finished, not knowing what to say or how to feel. Just watching chunks of my hair fall to the ground while my stomach turned. I mean I have done many many things to my hair: cut my own horrible bangs, cut my own hair, colored it so it was orange and colored it so it was very black. But none bothered me as much as this. See, I can't hide this - I can barely pull it back into a pony-tail er.......pony-nub!
See I am very self conscious and have low self-esteem so my hair is a great thing for me to hide behind. I feel like I don't get noticed when my hair is longer and in my face. Even when it is pulled back (which is almost all the time) I feel better b/c I am plain and can't just blend in with the crowd. But with this hair mutilation I can't hide behind anything - I am out there for the world to see (and to see with a bad hair cut nonetheless)!!!!
I have been playing around with it and I am going for the Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex in the City Season 5 hair style, the short curly look. Of course I don't look cute like her (I am about as cute as a shaved cat) but that is the look I am so desperately trying to convince myself that I look like when I leave our house! She didn't even make it one length, she gave me these shorter layers that do nothing for my face! UGH again...just annoyed.
So did I do anything about it - no, I paid her and left unhappy. My own fault for not saying anything and my own fault going where I did - but what are they going to do, what's done is done. So hopefully it will grow back quickly over the next month to a length that is manageable....but until then I am going to be inside alot!
Do you get your pets anything for christmas?
So we can't forget our pets during the holidays! I love to get our cats things for christmas but I have learned sometimes cheaper is better! The cats love paper bags so last year at the Discovery store we found these moving paper bags. It was a brown paper type bag (but was made with a material that was really strong but still made noise like a paper bag). It had a little moter inside that would make it move every so often. We thought this was going to be a great gift so at $16 each we bought two (one for Sebastian and his cousin Socrates). Well they got their gifts on christmas day and we quickly realized they hated the toy. Both of them were scared shitless out of the toy! We tried turning the motor off and just leaving the bag and they could really care less about it. *sigh* it is disappointing when someone doesn't like a gift you got them - but when it is a pet who normally plays with dust in the air and they don't like your gift you know you did a suck-ass job at picking out a gift! (Do you know how many brown paper bags from the dollar store we could have gotten for $30 - they would have loved that 10x better!!!)
So this year we are getting things we know they will like! Some more of those little mice with bells in them that they manage to always loose or hide, something with strings and maybe some kind of food treat!
I like seeing pets react to the holidays. Our dog Lady use to get SO excited about Christmas. She loved the tree and had a stocking that hung by the fire place and she would open her gifts when she got them! I don't think cats have the same reaction but it is still fun!!!
So apparently Tim Gunn has not yet signed his contract for season 4 of Project Runway! Now this doesn't mean they will not work something out but in the article it says that his first priority is to Parson's..."it pays his bills". I actually think that is very responsible, it IS his job and I respect him more for being loyal to his job and not the fame of a hit TV show!
However, I would say that if they could not reach a comprimise to filming around his job and he didn't come back I don't think I would watch it. I really don't like Nina or Michael that much and it wouldn't be the same without Tim!
I am not here to worry anyone, because I am sure it will work out...it HAS to work out (they will MAKE IT WORK!)
Yes, this is 100% true – I love and adore mushrooms…all kinds! I think they are awesome and I could eat them all the time!
I had two really good food items that had mushrooms this weekend which made me just fall in love with them again! The first was at a restaurant in Columbus called Martinis and I had Pasta Rosa, a penne pasta with grilled chicken, baby portabella mushrooms, spinach all in a light red pepper cream sauce! OMG – delicious! Probably the best pasta dish I have ever had! Click the link above to see their menu – I strongly recommend it! And then we had dinner at a Steakhouse called Woody’s in Upper Sandusky. We had for an appetizer grilled portabella mushrooms – once again SO GOOD!
Life is better with mushrooms!
(I know there will be some mushroom haters out there, but nothing you can say will make me love mushrooms less!)
