Random Thoughts for Monday
Hair
Some of you (or maybe one of you) asked if I had skinny or big hair.
Don’t let my photo deceive you. Without product, I have big bushy hair.
Anyway, bushy curly hair did not make me happy growing up.
My mom and my best friend both had straight dark hair. I did not. To rectify my
lack of smooth hair in the 1970’s (when it was very cool to have long straight
hair), I:
·
Asked to have my hair thinned. They used scissors
with teeth that my hair guru uses today to give layers to my hair.
Guess what? Using those scissors way
back then did thin my hair but when the first humid MO. day happened my hair
went bushy all over again. It must have
been the layers. Then I…
·
Saw someone using juice cans as curlers. I did it too. This
helped straighten and tame my long hair somewhat. Then the ultimate happened. I discovered…
·
Large three inch in diameter curlers or rollers.
That did the job. I usually slept on them all night to dry my hair since the
giant rollers wouldn’t fit under the hairdryer.
All I can say is YIKES.
Lesson’s I learned
last week:
·
Kids are still going to bed hungry in our
world. Not cool.
·
Students listen to you and often hear your voice
in their heads when they think they are doing something you wouldn’t approve
of, even when you’re not their parent.
·
I’ve always been an ingenious detective, but
with the internet, I’m amazing.
·
Cat’s scratch.
·
Bees buzz and people run.
·
No matter how hard you try to pull in your
stomach, it’s gonna pop back out at some point.
·
And, Alex Cavanaugh is a one popular dude. He
made JW fashionable momentarily…almost like queen for a day. If I’d known that prior to his appearance, I
would have rented myself a tiara or a prom dress or something. Thanks again, Alex, for the interview!
Now, what did you learn last week? What do you expect to learn
this week? And what about this time next year? Too much? You want me to stop?
Comments
What did I learn last week? Be content with what I have and where I am in life.
What do I expect to learn this week? ...where my new characters will take me and whether I'll be able to get started on their story.
Have a good week, Teresa. :)
And that sounds like a lot of trouble for hair.

You're so right - be grateful for what you have!
God bless!
What am I up to? Preparing for the start of a new job on Friday (yikes!)
This time next year? I really, REALLY hope my book's published (and successful, but maybe that's too much to ask).
I saw a comet last week streak across the sky...I wished on it...let's hope wishes come true & the world becomes a better place.
:0)
As to hair: I'm blonde, therefore, I know all the jokes and how to laugh or not when I hear them.
What I learned today is that trying to create the perfect piece of writing usually ends up with me looking at a blank piece of paper with a tense face. To be free with words and then edit later works well, and to know when enough is enough :)
I wish the citizens of the world worked harder at taking care of each other. Let's turn to battles from land and oil and greed to figthing poverty.
big hugs!
