Hairy situation

I'm getting my hair cut next week by the guy who cuts Tom Brady's hair. *g*

I am so sad for Elizabeth Edwards, that her cancer has re-occurred in her bones. That is never a good thing. It just reaffirms my commitment to the The 3 Day. I can't imagine having to go through that. I just had my mam and since I haven't heard from them I am assuming they don't need any follow-up this year.

Just because I have the ability to laugh at myself, (and lord knows I provide enough fodder):
Yesterday morning I got the kids on the bus and went to do the dishes before I headed up to shower and dress for work. I was in my pj's. I saw the dog-who was in the yard anxiously staring up at the screen porch, so I looked to see what he saw. There were two sparrows trapped on my porch! They were flying around and smashing into the screens and shit. I was all like, "Aww, birdies! I'll help you," and I went out onto my porch, in my pajamas so I could prop open the screen porch door to let them fly out.

Only that rickety wooden screen door wouldn't budge because it was jammed with ice at the base. So I turned to go back in the house to grab something to break it up with.

Except I had locked myself out of the kitchen. I was trapped, in my pajamas, on my back porch, with two frantic birds.

Luckily, I my porch often becomes a dumping ground, and I found an old baking pan that I used to start chiseling away at the ice and snow. I was making a little bit of progress, unfortunately my hands got snow on them and got very cold. It wasn't fun. In fact it was a bit sucky. But in my search for something better to chisel with I found my gardening gloves. yeah!

After almost ten minutes I gave up and ripped at the damn door and broke it, walked around the house and entered from the garage service door which was unlocked. Then I said screw the dishes and went right up to a hot shower.

Happy Weekend.

Frenchie lady cut my hair super short - I love it!

As for the birds - why didn't you just let the dog take care of it?

I, too, feel bad for Elizabeth Edwards, but I also admire her & her husband's courage in continuing their quest for the White House. Because you just know that he wouldn't continue his campaign unless she really wanted him to!

Better patch up any holes - they are looking for a nesting place. Refer back to comment #1 should have let the dog take care of it.
