Choppy Chop Chop

July 23, 2007

Well I chopped it. I got Roxy to cut my hair stupid late last night. I always forget that my hair is so thick it takes forever to cut. I should have thought of that sooner. Jury is still out on whether I love it or not. I definitely look cuter in my hat though. Ill get someone to take my picture ASAP. It is definitely shorter than I had imagined. Lucky for me my hair grows so stinking fast I wont have to worry about it being short for long. Roxy was worried about messing my hair up cause she didn’t want me to hate my hair cut. (sister thing I guess). But I just kept telling her my haircutting motto: “It’ll grow back”. Totally brings me back to the good old days of my friend Leah cutting my hair and us sharing the same bottle of hair bleach. Back in the day I was like a normal sized Barbie doll. Gotta love the occasional bald spot. (just as a side note:Leah actually went to hair school after grad and CAN cut hair now. Shes pretty good too). I have to take a picture of the shih szu on the floor in my kitchen. It was too late to clean it up last night and I wanted to take a picture so I should go do that and clean up before Emily gets up from her nap.

I think they are through! Well at least one of Emily’s top teeth is through. What a whiny crappy thing to have to go through just so you can chew stuff. Haha. My little toddler is sleeping away her blues while her teeth come in. She has practically slept all day for the last two and slept most of the night. She gets all whiny at about 6:30 am, but manages to sleep still. Lucky for mommy. I slept better last night so thats good. I’ve felt like quite the insomniac for the last two weeks. I really haven’t slept well at all.

I have a really tough decision to make. I’m kind of nervous about it too. I need to get a hair cut. If I don’t I’m going to look like a snow beast. Im thinking of going for shoulder length and thinning the crap out of it. It will probably look like a shih tzu(see*) got murdered on the floor of the salon, but I think it will be worth it. It’ll be nicer for the rest of the summer. I think the thing I’m most worried about is how lazy I am to do my hair. I think I need to make a pact with myself to not wear bandannas ever again. (except when dressing up. All good pirates need bandannas) . I’m also pretty worried because if you read yesterdays blog Roxy got her hair cut and well it turned into a mullet. I’ve already told Morgan that if I get mullet-ed I’m shaving my head. No ifs ands or butts. Next week Morgan works afternoons so I think Ill book a chop chop.

I am officially ON. We aren’t going anywhere for the next little while and my house is free of crappola food so I am ON. I’ll admit I am having a lack of interest to going to the gym, but I can actually go next week so I’m going to go. I’ve decided this very minute that if I go to the gym 5 days next week I’m going to get a present! Maybe an album from itunes or something. Yeah! Wish me luck or wish me determination or something.

I’m going to go do laundry.

(*)ok so Leah and I went to see the fish guy at the pet store. Remember the guy with the puberty voice. And we wanted to buy some fish, but we went to look at the puppies. While we were looking the fish guy comes up and says those are “shizzoo multipoos, very adorable. I don’t like to say the shhh part” (include voice cracking for effect and realism). Ok so after we picked ourselves off the floor and died laughing extremely discretely so as not to offend we got our fish. Leah Fish and Courtenay fish to take with us to college because we would miss each other. End of odd story…

I put the “Bad” in Badminton.

The internet has a hole. I’m serious. Lets take this back a ways. This whole thing started when my sister got her hair cut into a Mullet. For those of you not familiar with the mullet check out this page. Especially the unfortunullett. Anyways… I digress. back to my sisters mullet. There are no good pictures or even songs to describe my sisters mullet. Luckily it isn’t an unfortunullet because she know she has it and is trying to think of a good way to deal with that. ok so this is where the hole comes in. The only way to describe Roxy’s mullet is to call her Linda from the wedding singer. If you haven’t seen The Wedding Singer you have other problems, but Linda has a serious 80’s mullet. Do you think we can find a picture of Linda anywhere???NO!!! what? There is actually something missing on the internet. What if I was 12 and doing my home work and I asked jeeves what Linda’s mullet looked like. Jeeves would probably freak out and all the planes in the world would crash or something. Someone needs to fix this hole and Roxy’s mullet ASAP or the very world could implode. P.S. “Roxy get out of my Van Halen t-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up!”

As for my daughters cuteness factor… She’s 15 months now and chatty like a choo choo. Her favy thing to say right now is “Rock-a-bye-Be”. So she misses it a bit, its still sooo cute. She grabs her doll and rocks it back and forth. Everything is a baby to her. Its the most common word she uses. “bye bye baby ducky” “bye baby daddy”"baby baby up rock baby daddy”. You get the picture. Morgan taught her to go “ho ha he ha ho” when he says “What does Yoko Ono say? So I taught her to go “uh huh” and put her lip up when I say “What does Elvis say?”. Some times she gets them all confused and when we ask her what daddy says she does Elvis or Yoko. She makes me laugh so hard.

She is just waking up right now. Singing and chatting to herself. She has been teething so badly. We have had several days of endless screaming. Nothing helps. Not Tylenol, not the ice cube in the cloth trick, not gin, nothing. You can even see her teeth. They are so close to the surface. It looks like she has rice stuck to her gums. Man teething would hurt. I am so sick of it and Em only has 2 teeth. grr. Today she was eating peas, but she kept saying poop. She gets things mixed up. haha.

Morgans shift changed this week. His weekends got cut so he started working regular week. It sucks. We are used to having daddy home so much more. Its a big change for us and its only been a few days. Last summer we traveled for 6 weeks. We didnt realize how awesome that was until now. Although it is nice to be in our own house for more than 2 days in a row. We are really hoping to make it out to the lake for a few weekends in August. We were just out there with Nathan and Danielle. We had such a fun time. It was so relaxing. Only the second time We’ve brought friends out to the lake with us. We were stoked that their schedule matched up enough with ours that they could come.

I think she’s up now. Dinner time.
