Bad Hair Day(s)

I am so hating my hair these days for many reasons....

First of all, thanks to my outdoor activities (NASCAR weekend, the House Concert, PHINS, Buffett show) I've managed to repeatedly sunburn the part in my hair. Since it's somewhat of a random part, I've gotten a bunch of different lines burned...and they've all peeled. It's so gross. I have these big flakes coming up off of my scalp and I feel like they're horribly obvious. I want to wear a headband that says "It's not dandruff, I swear!"

Secondly, the friend who does my hair had back surgery so she hasn't been able to work. This is the only time I've been happy to have gray hair since it makes the brown roots somewhat less obvious. She's back on her feet and I have an appointment next week - I can't wait to be fully blonde again!

Finally, I haven't gotten it cut either. It's pretty much a big mess which I compounded by trimming my own bangs. Rather unevenly, I might add. The back and sides are just frizzy curls gone wild desperately in need of thinning.

In conclusion, I'm a scaly, two-toned copy of Bozo the Clown. So I got that going for me...

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N

This Is How Fat Thinks

I was in Vegas over the weekend and Thursday night found me sitting at the bar in Margaritaville with some friends. We were having some drinks, talking to strangers and watching both the baseball and football games. All was well with the world. Out of nowhere, a young (20s?) guy came up behind me and snapped a selfie with me in it. He moved away before I could even get out "What was that about?" Less than 30 seconds later, another young guy came up and did the same. He also bounded away before I could stop him. My very first thought was that they were doing a photo scavenger hunt and one of the items was a picture with the fattest woman they found. Hell, could even have been the fattest person they saw if I let my mind take it further. Now, assuming a scavenger hunt, there are other reasons they could have wanted a picture of me. Maybe they needed a ginger, maybe it was someone with their hair in braids, maybe it was someone in the brightest colored shirt they could fin
