Hackjob

Let me tell you that as a little girl, my mother hated me. I feel that is a relatively true statement.
I know for a fact she hated my hair. With a passion.

My hair was light, light blonde and thin. No barrette would stay in place for more than three minutes.
So, she hacked off my hair and made me part it to the side, just like a boy. Then, shellac it with AquaNet.

If I still had the photos, I would post them.

Once, and only once she home permed me. That lasted... maybe three days.
If I still had the photos, I would post it.

Anyhoo....

I had Barbie dolls, that had long beautiful blonde hair.

I tried to give them bangs.

I also used mascara to color one's hair.

One Christmas/Birthday, I received a Barbie head.

That didn't work out so well for Barbie.

Besides, I felt that was a really disturbing gift.

I think that is when I realized that hairdressing was not in my future.

Now, this Saturday, it was another spectacular day here and the monkeys were outside.

I decided to brush them all and use the Furminator on them.

Love the Furminator.

But....

I took it a step further, maybe too far.

I got the scissors out and well.....Professional Monkey Groomer is not a good career choice for me.


Lily's butt.

Will Wonders Never Cease

Well, Well, Well.....

What I am going to tell you, you will not believe.

But, as they say....

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Yep. Those are my pictures, taken with my camera that the monkeys tried to eat. I finally bought a cord for my camera!

Now, hold on to your pants.......

Sterling aka Snoopy

Pugsley aka Uggies
 And Samson won't let me take a picture of him no how, no way....

However, when a bribe of cookies is offered...


Possessed Monkeys
Ps. I realize the pictures are horrid. Bear in mind, I haven't touched this camera in over two years. And give me some credit, my boy is a professional photographer, he must have gotten his talent from someone!

Visiting Cows


Tuesday, around luchtime, I went to visit some cows.

Holstein via
But, not just any ordinary cows.

More cows via

Celebrity cows.

Not this celebrity cow. via


I had forgotten all about Elsie!


To visit with my cows, I had to climb up one of these.

That is not me. via

via
I may or may not have patted their butts.

And it seems to me, that I always get in the mood for Chick fil A only on Sundays.

The irony is not lost on me...

I AM WOMAN!!


I must apologize.

This blog has been slightly off since I came back from my self imposed hiatus.

This is because, I have been working on an eighteen inch screen but only able to view...
let's give a generous estimation....six inches. And that six inches had multicolored vertical lines running through it.

I never could see punctuation, etc.

This is due to monkey damage. Shocker, huh?

Now, somehow, I found out that I do not have to replace the WHOLE COMPUTER, I can just replace the screen.

M Y S E L F ! ! ! !

HUH? WHAT, YOU SAY?!

Yes, for fifty buck on Amazon, $1.97 at Walmart, a Youtube video, and fifteen minutes of my time.....


I CAN SEE THE WORLD ONCE AGAIN!!!!

I am terrified....

Well, if you read yesterday's post. You know that I made chicken curry, for the first time.

Well, since I only cook for me....

I finagled with the recipe and made a crock pot full.

I don't know, what's that, 40, 50 gallons?

So, this morning I awoke to the scent of chicken curry still permeating the entire house.

I have 5 or 6 of those wax warming things around the house and that mixed with the chicken curry...

via


Well, it's legendary.

Now, here's my dilemma...

The chicken curry is currently residing in the crockpot with the lid tightly on, in the refrigerator.

via


The chicken curry is very tasty.

But, I don't dare heat it up.

And I'M TERRIFIED TO OPEN THE LID.


I am seriously considering calling a hazmat team.
