I played guitar hero for a bit. Okay...for like 2 hours. I'm getting pretty good at hard now - 80% or higher, consistently. Yay, me. It's a strange addiction...especially since the first time I played I hated it.
Now I've got the TV on in the background. I'm not paying any attention to it, so it's a terrible waste of energy, but I don't like to sit in silence. It feels unnatural after the noise I listen to all day. Plus, if the TVs not on the dogs can hear every little noise outside, and Allie growls and barks at them all. Irritating dog.
Jon and Kate Plus 8 is on. I've never actually watched this before, but I know several people that do. Nothing else was on. The next best option was True Life, which I like...but it was True Life - I'm a competetive eater. Gross.
Anway, Jon and Kate isn't terrible. They don't look to have the closest relationship, though. In the interview sections they're sitting, like, a foot apart on the little couch. Their both squished to the outside. Odd. Did I hear she (Kate) was having an affair with one of the camera men on their show? Or did I just make that up? Hmm. I don't know...
The carpet in their house is dark red. WTH is that? I suppose it doesn't show spills.
And what it with the raised roof on this van??? Are they often walking around in the back of the van?
Enough about the show.
The N on my keyboard is screwed up. Last week it seemed to have something underneath it, so I pryed it off. There was nothing there, of course. I pressed it back on, but it stayed loose for a couple of days. It's not loose anymore, but I have to push on it really hard to get it to type. I'm deleting constantly to add an N back in.
Here's something funny. I was about to type how the N thing is nothing compared to the BS I put up with becuase this damn computer has Vista on it, and then I though - nah, why rant? Not worth it.
I'm uploading some pics on another tab and a pop up window just came up with this little video - it's about how great vista is. They have all these people that haven't "upgraded" yet, because they've heard bad things about Vista, so they show them the new Windows OS, "Mojave" - then at the end - suprise! - it was vista all along! And all the people loved it and now want it. So, see? It's not really bad, it's just got a bad rap.
Yeah, right. Vista SUCKS. Can't tell you how many wierd, random problems I have because of it. Matt keeps promising to downgrade me to XP - which I loved! - but hasn't actually had time to do that yet.
Anyway - Windows - your ad campaign is ridiculous. Don't feed me a line of BS telling me all my problems are in my head. I'll say it again - Vista SUCKS.
So, I've been stalking the girly do's blog since a friend posted the link on my May Babies board. And I've picked up a couple of other hair blogs, too. I'm having a blast, putting all these creative things in Tessa's hair. I'm good at it - I learned from my mom - I know how to make a straight part and pull hair so it looks perfect! LOL I even have a "Hair" album in my photobucket account that has a bunch of the best hairdo's I've done in it.
Our normal evening routine is that Tessa gets to watch a movie in our bedroom at about 7:00. During her movie she either plays a computer game or does a craft, or takes her dolls or barbies in our room with her. Last Thursday night she was making bracelets and watching a barbie movie. Matt was in school, I was working on some stuff for Asher's party. Tessa came out to see me several times, I tied off the bracelets she made, etc. After a while she got tired, we cleaned up the bracelets, and she fell asleep in our room. I was sore from my workout, so I left her in our bed for Matt to carry in to her room when he got home.
Next morning I get up, I'm in the bathroom and I go to throw something in the garbage and see - right on top - a lock of shiny brown hair.
My first thought is "Oh, God...please let her have cut a barbie's hair..."
Yeah...right.
When she woke up I took her into my bathroom, asked her about it. She said she didn't want her hair in her face. I guess I should be happy she only cut a small section. It's not nearly as bad as last time.
She has a section, about 1 inch square, just to the right of center in the front of her head, that's about 1/4 of an inch long. Fantastic.
It's easy to cover for now, but in a couple of months I'll bet it's a nightmare.
I tried to take pictures, but they didn't turn out well. The camera just can't focus on the short little hairs...
Speaking of hair...
Back on Mother's Day Becki had a little salon day for the family after brunch at her house. I just had a trim, but I was thinking about really cutting it. My mom said no, though - "leave it long!!! It's so pretty!"
Becki's is as long as mine, so I suggested we wait and then chop enough off to donate. So that's the plan. Pantene will take 8 inches, so I'm just growing it until I can comfortably cut that much off. Originally the plan was September or October, but now I'm wondering if I'll need to wait until Spring. I can't go too short. My hair has too much volume - it gets really BIG without some length to pull it down. And also, you have to DO short hair every day. Long hair you can kind of leave down and it looks allright without too much effort. On top of that, of course, is the whole long hair thing...
I know that Becki and I are not the only girls with this long hair hang up. Long hair is pretty, long hair is good...right? My dad always says "the fastest way to ugly up a woman is to cut her hair." Isn't that awful? I'm almost afraid to have short hair. And Matt - who always says that he doesn't care what I do to my hair, he always likes it (as long as I never color it again...long story) even he says "I really like it at the length is is now"
My BFF Natalie's mom, Linda, was just diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. So Becki and I are looking into some local wig makers, to see if we donate our hair if they'll make a wig for free. If we find someone I'll be dealing with short hair much sooner than I may be ready! I guess we'll see.
I talked to my dad today. He asked me, kind of out of the blue, if I'm still liking being a stay at home mom, or if I'm ready to find a job yet. I answered that I liked it okay, but that even if I didn't I didn't know how I'd ever get a job. Matt thinks he has to work 24 hours a day, so if I weren't around all the time I don't know what we'd do with the kids.
That's pure whininess on my part. The truth is that I love being home - I told Matt not long ago that I don't know if I ever want to go back. Hell - we're considering an expensive operation so that we can have another baby!
But seriously...these late nights suck. He's got school Tuesday and Thursday nights and isn't home until 11ish. And then every once in a while he has work late. And it's always really late, not just a little late. And I hate it. It's 10:45 now, and still no word from Matt. Guess I'll try to call him again...
Okay...I think I'm done rambling now.
