Two things:

Seriously - How cute is Kristin Chenoweth? And how good is Pushing Daisies? I was so excited she won!



and #2 - Vanessa Williams, when you shake your head and mouth the word 'no' I don't respect you because you were too cool to do a stunt with glasses, I actually like you a lot less because you think you are too cool.

Hair Apparent

I have received more comments on my hair in the past two weeks than I have in the past ten years. My hair has always been a little wild, but I'm okay with that. I like having red messy short hair. It's like a really good accessory - even if my outfit looks a little strange or I have a huge zit on my chin, my hair can make me look just a bit cooler. And I am grateful for that. And I really don't mind when people notice it, or say something about it, because, hey, if i didn't want people to notice me, I shouldn't have my crazy hair. I get it.

But sometimes, people go a little overboard.

A couple days ago, one of Ben's students compliments him on the fact that he married someone with 'cool hair'. I'm in with the high school crowd I guess. And somehow my choice of hairstyles reflects on my husband's superb taste. And not one, but a couple of students have let him know that.

Last week I went to the little coffee stand in the grocery store to get a drink and the lady who sells me my Izze says 'I see you all the time, and I love your hair.' I said ' Where do you see me all the time?' (because I felt bad because I thought this was someone I should know who i don't) and she said 'Like, around the store all the time. When you're here.' Apparently she has been watching me when I come in? Ok. A little strange.

Last week I also went into the gas station to buy a drink and the guy behind the counter compliments me on my 'lion hair' and then goes 'Rawr' with his little lion hand motion. He really honestly did this motion with his hands like he was pawing at me. I literally took a half step back because I thought he might reach out and touch my hair. I smiled, thanked him, and then walked back to my car.

Lion Hair?
