Look what MiMi Reichenbach-Wright(on the left) sent me(on the right)!!!!!
It was summer....we were young & alternated weeks in NYC & Buffalo...we were bored of all the black & ruby red hair so we got tan & blonded it up a bit for grins that year!!!!
So glad I came back to my senses that fall & shaved the sides & back & dyed it my signature 80's dark fuchsia.
Things that may or may not matter to you that have happened to me as of late:
1) My little VooDoo Crybaby got sick late last Friday night. He had a very high fever(106) and was like a little limp noodle puppet when I picked him up. Jeff & I took him to the emergency vet hospital early Saturday where he recieved IV fluids & antibiotics. His fever was down to 103 and he was diagnosed as having a kitty respiratory infection. He is MUCH better now~running around and breaking expensive ceramic decorative bowls.
Jeffrey suprised me throughout this ordeal. He dropped EVERYTHING he was doing and stayed up all through the wee hrs with me; fretting over our little baby. Last night the little kitty felt good enough to regain his sleeping spot by our heads; between our pillows. Life (and sleep) was good :)
2) I FINALLY MET MY LJ/MYSPACE FRIEND JILL IN PERSON :)
3) Went out for a nice Italian dinner with GreggreG, Bonita Z & Sev @ LaBella. Good friends, good food, great conversations and LOTS OF LAUGHTER. All meals should be enjoyable like this :)
4) Been hasseled by 'the man'. For some unknown reason, one of 'Vegas finest' has decided that I am a prime target. I really feel he disapproves that I am a mother with tattooes, pierced nose, strange dress & also happens to be native american. WTF. Isn't there crime to be fought??? Well he likes to pull me over & "detain" me...license,registration,insurance,inspection EVERYTHING. My inspection was up...I was AT THE GARAGE FOR MY APPOINTMENT (on fumes mind ya! I was going NOWHERE else!) & the owner had closed for some unknown reason so I was FUBARED, & there sat officer #82 in his shiny patrol car waiting for me. He followed me home into my driveway, THEN put on the lights & siren show. Long, long story short...he couldn't even give me a ticket...I was in compliance with EVERYTHING even though he tried to tell me my registration wasn't legit...he even asked me what the garage owner's name was!!! What a brownshirt!!!! He was even sweet enough to "remind" me two mornings in a row now to "get my car inspected or ELSE" as he sat outside on my street!
5) passed inspection at another garage WHILE the owner "saved" me against my will with his brand of 'christianity'. He denounced my "paganistic, indian ways" for me while I was lauging & grinning. I didn't offer my acid-tongued views on his "cult" because I just wanted my inspection sticker slabbed on so I could RUN to my car and "get the fuck outta dodge"
6) Went to the HOOWAA(total incorrect spelling!) Chinese Grocery on Sheriden. Love it. Pocky for $1...lotsa "broken english" on packages with cartoon guys with flames shooting outta their mouths (mmmm spicy goodness!), lotsa dried mushrooms that look suspiciously like a bag of hallucinations just waiting to happen, $1.99 SESAME OIL, 2DOLLA WASABI PASTE IN THE TUBE!!! FOODALICIOUS :)
7) I added white blonde highlights to my hair. I ended up HATING said highlights. I coloured the highlights a "ginger blonde" colour, I HATED the results, I dyed them chocolate...it DIDN'T TAKE, I ended up going out~buying my regular 'chocolate cherry' colour and DYING IT BACK with minimal frying. I trimmed all the ends to a healthy state & I am putting hair mask in my hair twice a day so it doesn't decide to all break off and leave me bald!!!
My "ballroom days" of unnatural colours is over kiddies!!!!! You read it here first!!!! :/
(ohhh yessss...I even went to brekkie @ Amy's Place today with my dysfunctionally insane mother & she was NICE & RELATIVELY NORMAL. Hell. she even enjoyed herself with me! ;)
Now I am off to get ready for bed!!! I have been going to bed early on the weekdays...sleeping by 11 after reading a few chapters &I am RELAXED & REFRESHED :)
