Miscellaneous stuff

 

     A trip to Borders today gave me some insight into my troublesome character.  I did a bit of scribbling in my notebook I hope will turn into another chapter or two if I’m lucky. 

     After stopping to visit a friend at my favorite store, I went to get a hair cut.  Yes, Dave it’s short again but Dear Hubby thinks it’s cute.  Why do so many men want women to have long hair anyway?  When it’s thick and curly like mine, it’s hot and frizzy in the summer.

     We had a very muggy and hot day today so the dogs spent most of it on their favorite chairs snoozing in the AC.  I’m looking forward to the storms they are predicting this weekend that are supposed to bring cooler and less humid weather with them.

     When I was visiting them last month, my Aunties gave me three lovely Japanese figurines that were my Grandfather’s.  I did some research and found out they aren’t just any old figurines.  They are three of the Japanese Seven Gods of Fortune.  The first one I found is Daikokuten the God of wealth, the second one is Fukurokuju the God of wisdom and longevity, and the third one is Hotai San the laughing Buddha rubbing his belly is supposed to bring good luck.  How fun!

  1. just watch whose belly you’re rubbing right? lol

  2. I had long hair when we were married and JW said he would divorce me if I had it cut! When the heatwave of 1976 hit us I complained long and hard about my hair and he, perverse man, asked why I didn’t have it cut short!
    I was out of the door and up the hill to the hairdresser before he took the next breath 🙂

    • When we were first married I had very long hair. A few years later, I had it cut to shoulder length, then went even shorter the next hair cut.

      Dear Hubby has only complained once about how short I’d had my hair cut and that was once when someone had cut it shorter than DH’s!
