Odds and Backends
Been a little distracted of late. I’m pretty sure its just the time of the year. Oh, and the moving. Oh, and the waiting patiently for our newest family member to arrive. She’s the most expensive thing I’ve ever bought myself, and I have a feeling you’ll see what comes out of her posted on this blog pretty soon!
So, some random things to share with you today. I stopped by my super expensive hair place to make an appointment for a cut this Thursday. I haven’t had a hair cut since the middle of August. See, when you go to a super expensive hair place you can only afford to get it done like every 3 months or so. OK, so really I’m just lazy. But the split ends are starting to get frightening. Anywho….. I walked into that place, right up to the receptionist with the fake red hair streaked with the cheesy bleached highlights. I told her that I wanted an appointment with Bridget, and you know what she said to me? Pointedly? “Um, would that be for a COLOR?!” OK, look, for educational purposes to all of you reading this out there: natural blondes naturally have darker roots depending on the time of year. The problem is so many people die their hair these days we expect that everyone’s hair is supposed to be one color all the way through. This same thing happend right before my wedding. The stupid hairdresser involved in that incident insisted that I do a henna treament. Hence the pink hair in my wedding photos. So stop discriminating against people who don’t die and BACK OFF.
Another random tidbit: I walked into my test area at work to talk to one of my mechanics and I guess he wasn’t expecting company because as I got closer I noticed that he was reading a magazine. On the job. And as I got closer still, I saw naked boobies. And naked other parts. The man was reading a NUDY MAG AT WORK. That is instant dismisal at my work.
My grandma is coming to town this weekend from Florida. I’m hoping to have my new baby before this weekend because we’re taking a train ride through the Verde Valley north of Phoenix. It is supposed to be gorgeous and I can’t wait to take pictures.
OH! And while I hate my job with the hattiest hates of all the hates, I actually got a CASH award last week. $500 if you can believe that, although the Man took half. Regardless, I can’t believe my company actually did that for those of us who got stuck with the Brits all summer missing all our camping trips and all the beautiful AZ sunbathing weather. OH again! Evidently a picture that was taken of me at work was deemed beautimus enough to blow up into practically billboard size and is hanging up at the entry to my plant. That means that a good portion of the 7,000 employees at my site have to walk past that monstrosity on their way in and out of work every day. Its totally embarassing.
But that’s OK, because once they walk past my smiling face to the drudgery of work, they’re free to read their nudy mags in peace.
I hope when you get your new delivery that you take the time to capture that ginormous picture of you and share it online. I’m sure it’s nowhere near as bad as you say it is (we are, after all, always our own worst critics.)
I enjoyed this entry. Like so many others on your blog, it was relentlessly funny.
1. Fun on hopefully having the camera for the road trip this weekend. !!
2. YAY on grandma coming for a visit
3. I so hear you on the haircut thing. I go twice a year now and it costs me $100 each. I wouldn’t mind paying less, but I hate going more frequently. Silly, eh?
well, at least he didnt have his dick in his hand when u walked past. i suppose that’s something.
and since ur profile pic is grayscale anyways, i cant tell that your hair had a pink cast to it =)
OK, you totally need to post a picture of that big picture of you that you mentioned!!!
I went into a salon in Salvador last month and got the buzz cut from hell…..my poor head is still recovering. At least I don’t look quite as bald now…..
