Dude looks like a no-show!

So F'ing Mad!



Aerosmith CANCELLED the show. When did they decide to do this? A mere THREE HOURS before the show was to begin. There was a near-riot downtown at the civic center...it would've been a well-deserved riot in my opinion. Thanks for the notice, Aerosmith.

I have a living room in complete disarray because of the ongoing paint job, which was put on hold today for said concert. Had I known even this morning that there'd be no concert, I would've spent the day painting. But, no. How sweet to have made plans for a babysitter, and to have spent the afternoon packing Gray's stuff to stay overnight with Aunt Leslie, as well as getting myself and him ready, only to find out at the final moment that there would be no concert.

It turned out to be a nice night even though it wasn't what I'd hoped we'd be doing. Gray still got to go hang out with aunt Leslie, and Philip and I got to go out & eat by ourselves for once: quiet, leisurely, and relaxed. It was kind of nice. 

But I'm still mad because I was really looking forward to the concert. Not even Aerosmith as much as Cheap Trick. The concert isn't going to be rescheduled, so I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me to see them live. It figures. Things like this are the story of my life.

Hello? It's February.

Hello? It's February.

It was so warm today...80 degrees, and I actually got a bit sunburned on my walk/jog. And I got very sweaty. I was peeling off my clothes until I got down to only the most necessary coverage, and I was still hot and miserable. My iPod got all slippery from all the sweat.
I know I was recently complaining because it was unusually cold here, but I don't like to bake, either. At least, not in February!
It's time for another "if I were God" moment. Please no one comment and be all mad if you don't like my judgment. I know I'm not God and I really don't want to be. K?
But if I were God, the temperature would never dip below 60 degrees, year-round — the only exception being for a few days around Christmas. And the temperature would never go above 80, and that would only be in the summer. And there would always be a cool breeze blowing when the temp is above 70. Likewise, there'd be no breeze when the temp is below 70.
Imagine a world where the temperature was always pleasantly between 60-80 degrees.
Wouldn't that be perfect?
And all the ice caps would melt, and we'd all be underwater within a couple of years.
That's probably one good reason (out of many) why God has never let me run things!

I fixed it!
Tags: haircut
I couldn't stand his hair the way it was. So I attacked him again last night with the scissors, and chopped 3-4 inches off, all the way around his head. It's shoulder-length now, with little bangs that graduate into the rest.
I never wanted to go that short, but my screw-up required it. Funny thing is, I ended up really happy with how it turned out! It's all clean-looking and his curls are much more defined now.
Whew. I feel so much better.

I cut his hair.
(copied & pasted from my Blogger blog, originally written 2-17-06)

Tonight Gray got his first haircut ever. 
He is 2 years, 2 months, and 1 week old today, and until now his hair has been left untouched.   He has a head full of light brown curls and ringlets that fall around his shoulders.   We get lots of comments and compliments on his hair, although sometimes people mistake him for a girl.  Smiley  If he looked even remotely like a girl, I could understand.  But some people can't seem to grasp that long hair does not necessarily = girl.
Anyway, the front had gotten so long that it was always hanging in his face, so it was time for that to be trimmed.  So, I put him in the kitchen sink for his bath, and while he was occupied with his cars and filling a jar with water, I took the scissors and went to work.  
I cried after the first snip.  It was very emotional.  He has the most beautiful hair I've ever seen on a boy, and I've always been greatly attached to it.  After I cried, I continued snipping, wrapping each curly little lock in tape, to be saved forever.  I didn't touch the overall length; I only trimmed up the heavy front parts that always hang in his face.  It's all I can bear to part with for now. 
So here's the worst part.
I don't like it.  I cut it too short.  I thought I was making sure to keep it long, but somehow, I still managed to cut too much off.  I'm so angry at myself!  So now I'm crying because I've ruined his beautiful hair.  I'm going to have to go at it again when I get my nerve back up, and try to blend it in better.  
I knew it would be a mistake, but I also knew it had to be trimmed, and I didn't want anyone else doing it (still don't).  ::sigh::
Hopefully it will grow back quickly.    Smiley

My excuse

Okay so I'm kinda slow getting my blog all set up. I'm in process of moving my current blog over from Blogger.com. I like it better here. If only I could get started!
I'll blame it on my husband (that always works! ). He's a graphic designer and he promised me he'd design me a header & whatnot...but he's been slammed w/work the past couple of weeks and hasn't gotten around to it.
Which is the other problem.
He works from home and since we share the computer, when he's slammed, I don't get much blogging time.
I guess I could at least fill out the profile...
Nah...maybe later.
