What was your worst hairstyle decision ever?
Do I really have to pick just one? I am a child of the 80's you know!
Where do I start?
I think my first bad choice was "The DA" when I was in the third grade. I had super long hair up until then but it got stuck in the back wheel of my bike so I decided to get rid of ALL of my hair. I looked like a 50's crooner!
Then of course there was the popular curly hair just in the back look when I was 14. Remember that? My hair is naturally curly, but I thought a perm would give me more uniform curls...bad idea!! It must have been the girls first week because she mostly permed the crown of my head and left it on too long. When I felt my scalp it felt like velcro, what hair was left was so tightly curled...it was tragic! I cut it super short again.
By '86 my hair was long again & I went into my Punk phase. First came the pink streaks, then I decided to let my friend shave the sides and the back. I would pull it up into a ponytail at school to show off my newly shorn scalp, but I knew my Mom would be pissed so I kept it down at home. Too bad I didn't work the possibilty of wind into my calculations. Oh..she WAS super pissed!!
I guess I can say I never went through the really bad 80's hair phase. Don't you know what I mean??
That family right there probably single-handedly depleted the ozone layer!! LOL!! (I sure hope they don't see this!)
Let's see, what's next....
I guess by the later 80's I was still fighting the curl, but tended to be a little more natural, I'd curl it into big, soft curls. Then came the gotta be straight phase, I still hate whoever came up with that! It would take me 3 hours to straighten out this mop and then as soon as I'd get warm....POOF!!! Sooooo, I decided to go the perm route again, this time straightening rather than curling. Again, another bad idea. The bottom 2" of my hair fell off. Quite frankly I look really bad with straight hair.
After all this and growing out the straight perm, I decided to give it all up and started doing the shake and go, I just let it dry curly and hope for the best. Guess what? Wanna know what my husband said after 10 years of struggling with this mess???? "Hey, I think I like your hair really curly!"
Hmmmmm, could you have clued me in on this info 10 YEARS AGO?????
Do I have room for all the coloring disasters??? There was the eggplant shade, then Lucille Ball orange and the time I thought blondes had more fun......It's a wonder I have a hair left on my head!!!!
I did not grow up in a sports house. My Dad wasn't the guy planted in his recliner every Sunday, screaming at the TV. My mistake husband wasn't much of a sports nut, my good husband wasn't when we got married either. He was more of a baseball fan and we liked going to games, they were fun and all but, you know, it's just baseball.
In 2002 he took me to a Hockey game, what was that warm and tingly feeling? My heart beat faster and I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat. YES!!! HOCKEY!!!! I get it now, I know why guys are crazy over their games, I just had to find mine.
Now keep in mind, I am a very non-violent, peace loving woman, I study Buddhism for Pete's sake! But there is a complete metamorphesis when I watch a hockey game. I get super excited, I scream things like REF YOU SUCK!!, You skate like my Aunt Tillie!, Start the bus LOSERS!, I pretty much lose my mind. Ohhh and the fights, I am seriously disappointed if there are no fights, what the hell is that? That's not a game! I want to see these guys beat the crap out of each other! The goons are my favorite players.
I had the privilege of being at one of the best Hockey fights, it was just a few weeks ago. The players were fighting, the goalies were fighting, even the coaches were fighting...it was AWESOME!!
We go to games every chance we get and if we can't go we're watching them on TV. I still get that warm and fuzzy feeling...just like my first time.
My name is Beatlemama and I am a Hockey Fanatic.
I would like to know exactly when this happened?? Did I miss a memo?
I am a rocker, a hip and with it person!
"A hip and with it person."???? See??? I'M OLD!!!!!
I went to see a Metallica cover band this weekend, it opened up my old eyes. I have a t-shirt that says "If it's too loud, you're too old!" Looks I technically can't wear that shirt anymore. People kept trying to talk to me and all I could do was smile and nod like an idiot! I couldn't hear a word they were saying...my ears are STILL ringing!
What's with the cell phone appendages? Everywhere I looked people were texting and chatting. (I want to know how they could hear!) Instead of holding up lighters, they hold up their open cell phones!! When did that start?
Then I hit the ladies room. In one visit I counted 4 girls leaving the bathroom without washing their hands!!!
Gag me with a spoon!! That's like so totally grody to the max!!
So my husband never claimed to be a cultured guy. He made this really clear to me today. We were having lunch and he told me that his band mate just got back from Paris. He had a great time. I asked if they went to the Louvre,
"What's the Louvre?"
"It's a very famous museum, Honey" There is a long pause, he has no clue.
I say "It's where the Mona Lisa is displayed."
"Oh"
I ask, "Did you know that the Mona Lisa is really quite small" I motion about a foot with my hands.
AND HE SAYS....
"Really? It looks bigger on Bugs Bunny."
It's a good thing I married him for his looks!
