What Are You Doing Today? (an SKMB greatest hits)

Right before covid came twirling into town and life was normal, I made the decision to grow my bangs out.  I look terrible.  I hate them.  I can't get them to do anything even remotely cool.

I was at the point of asking @Sundrop how to cut my own bangs.  I'm a bangs girl.  I have to have them to break up my long horse face and witch-like features. The urge to whack them was very strong.  Just comb all that forward and what's hanging in my eyes, cut straight across, right? Thank jebus I didn't do it because we all know cutting hair is geometry and physics and oh so very calculus. Black magic.

I texted my hair specialist about 2 weeks ago and asked her if she had someone cancel, to get me in there for a cut and color. She was booked out for too long.  I got a text yesterday that she had a 12:15 today.  So, I'm getting my bangs back, I'm going to go a little darker with blonde ends.  

I'm going to be kind of free, kind of wow --

Be glad you waited for your hair specialist......you wouldn't like us when we're angry

Good Lord, I’d have cut it for you...you prefer John Paul George or Ringo?🤗

She told me today that she was happy I did NOT cut my own "fringe."  She told me that they are not called bangs.  She said, "bangs are for bedrooms, fringe is for hair."

I learned something new.

1) I call it a fringe, ain't nothing going to bang... never-mind. 
2) I cut my own fringe... regularly. I even cut all of my hair during lock-down.  Yes I did.

(Edited: because sometimes my mouth/fingers speak before my brain engages.)

Bring it ...biotches. I can take it. 

You have thick hair.  And it probably grows fast.

I am in the Nosferatu category of hair.  One little slip, and the villagers are all screamy and mean.

It's not that thick... and I really only took the ends off everything, it has a bit of natural curl, wave to it, which is very forgiving. Also, I really don't care what people think of me anymore.

I fell over at the river yesterday,  it was my own damn fault.  Ella (dog) decided that she would ignore me when I whistled them back (she was rolling in something smelly) so I clipped on her leash and tied the other end to a fallen log,  I was going to leave her there for a couple minutes while I threw the stick for Mac, y'know show her what obedient dogs are allowed to do. Well Karma thought that maybe I was in the wrong because when I went to walk away (all self-righteously) I tripped over the blimmen lead and smacked up both knees. I'm pretty sure Ella laughed. 
My legs are so bruised today.  

Hedda Gabler

Oh no! That hurts so bad.  And sorry I laughed. I always laugh when people stumble.  But, I'm the first one there to help you back up!!! That counts for something.

That has ouch kabibble written all over it. Hope you aren't too injured.

I am still laughing... it was hilarious, like a black n white silent movie! (my knees really hurt when I have to kneel, lighting the fire last night was hell... but I was still giggling at myself even then, so that made up for the pain a bit)

Oh let me see...I'll be going to the grocery store to buy BONE MEAL FOR MY SPECIAL NEEDS PEPPER PLANTS.

Just made a jaunt to the grocery store.  I get home with a 24 pallet of cat food cans which I immediately knocked into the edge of the car as I was lifting them out of the trunk.  Twenty-four cans of Chunky Chicken with Extra Gravy went rolling as quickly as they possibly could to the far reaches of the earth.  

I threw a tizzy fit and picked up the cans, walked them to my door where I promptly fell off the step leading into my house.  

I now have myself quietly sitting in a chair trying to determine if this is a sign from God that I should quit moving large muscle groups for today.  

When my coordination is short circuiting and my depth perception is on the fritz, it's usually a clear Defcon 3.  The Air Force has been alerted and is ready to deploy.

Yes, I'd say it sounds like an air-conditioned, iced tea and a book in your favorite chair kind of day.

Grab a book, put your feet up and relax. Let the vibes realign.

Oh (((girl)))...!

I am forcing myself not to laugh right now because, two things.
1) Just like you, a trip... a fall... so long as they're not actually hurt, is just a bit funny.
2) I'm thinking that you laughing at me yesterday when I fell over, has caught up with you today... and so I'm looking out for both of our tomorrows!

I hope you're okay girl, just sit down, get the cats to bring you a can-opener and a spoon.

Going back to something I said yesterday, (2 somethings actually, but I'll get to that other one somewhere else) I've been feeling really guilty and bad.
So Sunny, ( @Sundrop ) I'm sorry about my hair-cutting comments, I do care what people think about me (kinda, a little bit) and I definitely wasn't including you when I said 'bring it on biotc.... thingee. I also wasn't meaning you Deejers! It was just a throw-away comment. (I'm going to remove that bit from my post, it was eating into my psyche over-night)

Sigh. I'm so pathetic.

Karma was listening.    And since I have month long editing, I can cross out that comment because I quoted the wrong post.  See below.

Oh girl!  Sunny has a great sense of humor. she knows you were playing.

Me on the other hand, you know I'm a biotch so how could that possibly insult me?

silly thing.

 I didn't get hurt, I just looked like those Laurel and Hardy skits that @Notaro posts for us occasionally.  If I was a neighbor and saw my neighbor bumbling around like I was, I would have been rolling on the floor laughing my ass off!

I am literally losing it.  

As some of you know, I watch 2 little boys.  They are now 8 and 5?  I think, crap I've lost time.  I've watched them since they were newborns. 
Anyway, I haven't been allowed to see them because of this covid stuff.  I haven't hugged them since February!  FEBRUARY!

To not have those hugs....

I have facetimed them, and I love their little chatter.  And they ask when they can see me again at their house.  They miss me.  It's nice to be missed and wanted.

So, I am out in my car now to force people to interact with me.  Because dammit! Somebody out there today is going to experience the Dana Jean!

 Be careful what you ask for!  If you lived around here, according to my daughter, just walk in Wal Mart--- you'll have more "interaction" than you desire. 

Meanwhile, here is a cyber hug (((Hedda Gabler)))
