Don’t Let Me Get Near the Salon

Published by Ree at 4:34 pm under random thoughts

There once was a new blogger who,
had a job and she was a mom, too.
And though try as she might -
to be witty and bright -
This lame post was all she could do.

It’s just one of those days. Trying to go in too many different directions. So, I’ll just share a few things:

  • I have had readers from 20 countries. Okay, this, to me, is amazing. Denmark leads the non-U.S. list with 5% of my hits. But also, Canada, the U.K., Germany, Italy, Australia, France, Norway, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, Peru, Russia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Liechtenstein, Argentina, and Turkey. Wow you guys! How about de-lurking into the comments? Tell me where you’re from.
  • Based on the keyword searches that brought people to my site, lot of people are interested in Lab/Daschund mix dogs (and I had never heard of these…but 3 different variations of “lab/daschund” sent people to my site). Other keywords? Bandonkadonk Butts, “I love Ohioan guys Tank Top“, Porta Johnny, Penis Enlargement and webbed hand pantyhose. I’m guessing on that last one. As far as I know, it’s the only time I used the word pantyhose in a post.
  • My admin brought me a huge bouquet (no, not because I’m the most wonderfullest boss in the world). Her daughter was in a musical this past weekend, and then left for a week of Leadership Camp (yes, she has one of those ‘perfect’ children). B was left with nine(!) bunches of cut flowers. The one she brought me is white/purple and pink lilies with a whole bunch of greenery. It makes me smile whenever I look at it.
  • Shortman is going to get his eyes examined for contacts today. He’s only been wearing glasses for a year, but based on my eyesight (poor) and Mr. Hot’s eyesight (poorer), he probably could have used them before that. School screening never picked up a problem - I just decided last year that he needed to get those peepers checked. Contacts are, hopefully, our way of getting him out of the house while wearing corrective lenses. He’ll wear them while driving, but then whips off the glasses as soon as he takes the keys out of the ignition. Vanity, thy name is “15-year-old boy”
  • I am one class away from having my Leadership Development certification from University of Michigan. I registered for “Managing in a Global Organization” - and I’ll be in the September class. I am one of those people I hate - A University of Michigan student. (Be nice people, I bleed Green and White. Went to 3 universities - Michigan State, Eastern Michigan and Marshall. All green/white schools. It’s killing me)
  • I love watching the hawks and the cranes that fly over this building. We’re in the middle of a natural wetlands, and we have all kinds of birds that live around here. The only problem is watching out for the goose poop on your way to the car.
  • Speaking of cars. I keep getting this question in my quest for my new vehicle: “And what color are you looking for?” - My response? “Um, you mean, black, gray, grayer, grayest, white or gray?” Seriously. What happened to car colors?
  • Chef Jake asked me to check out his site. It’s a really great site - and the link is in my sidebar. Go take a look. I love the ability to make find recipes, make meal plans, and print out shopping lists - if you use my sponsor id, you get $5 off a six-month subscription. (Okay, shameless, I know, but it is a wonderful site - and I’m going to use it regularly. I’m hopeless at being creative with meals.)

—- When I get like this, (all random and stuff), it usually means I need to take a drastic step in my life. Like maybe a new hairstyle. But I’m 80% gray - and I’m pushing 45 - and I just don’t have any ideas. My hair is wavy and notoriously dry, and I hate it. It’s never a good idea to go into the stylist in this kinds of mood. Keep your fingers crossed that I do nothing stupid tonight! —-

    Canadian here.
    When I last went to buy a new car (about 3 years ago) we decided what car we wanted, and discovered that the model-year just expiring was the last one that offered bright yellow. We went back with this info, and got what they told us was the last Super Yellow Toyota Matrix in Ontario. I love it, it’s visible from orbit.
    Safe too, nobody can claim they didn’t see you coming.

    I’m here from Lansing, Michigan (and I’m an MSU alumni!!), but also because Chef Jake sent me over to look at your sidebar badge-I coded mine wrong and it doesn’t work :(

    Your poem is clever!

    So what happened with your hair?

    Good old U-S of A here. Chi-Town represent!

    I’m so going to check out that Chef Jake site. My biggest reason for not cooking is because I am one person. Do not like to eat same meal for 8 days straight.

    Penn-Funny! Welcome neighbor up north - although really, when you think about it, Canada is partly south of Detroit! My brother is in Ottawa -

    Mini and Elizabeth - it’s SOOOO hard living in Ann Arbor during football season!

    Cupcake - still mostly gray, still really dry and frizzy, still the same length. I snapped out of it. But I’m still thinking ;-)

    Kristabella - I lurrrv Chicago. I always think “if only I was single with no kids….I would sooooo live there.” But commuting from the ‘burbs? Not. Maybe we can meet up for a drink next month.
