So I'm not a Lawn-Boy

Recent phone conversation:

Amy: Guess what I just did for you?

Tim: What?

Amy (With overflowing pride and excitement in her voice): I mowed the lawn!!!!

Very long pause.

Tim: Did you catch the clippings?

Amy: Uh, no.

Tim: Well, did you put the plug back in?

Amy: What plug?

Tim: The one you put in when you don't catch the clippings.

Amy (becoming ever-so-less excited): Uh, no. But hey...I mowed the lawn for you!

Equally long pause.

Tim: Yeah. Thanks. Lucky you didn't cut your foot off.

I don't think you're being quite fair with me there...

He's right. I'm not being fair. But it was more amusing this way.

Amy, for not being fair with Tim, you should make it up to him by going out and getting him a brand-spankin-new iPod touch. Just be sure to get the 2nd-generation one.

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel
