hair and cake--ooh...that sounds gross

(i made such a delicious looking cake tonight...i can't wait to eat some!)

i don't live in the trendiest place. i don't live in a big city either. but i do live in a place that has tv, widespread internet access, magazines on every corner that stem from the big city and a couple of solid newspapers that seasonally run full page articles on what's trendy for the upcoming season. yet somehow today, (yes, it was a boring snowy day) i saw three women at three different places that had either curled up 90's bangs with stiff, crinkly hair or the whole feathered thing going on. now, i'm not super fashion conscious, but i know that those looks went out, in some cases, 20 years ago. what was funny was that these women were professional looking women; one was even a nurse. i just don't understand. it's so much easier to put in a quick and messy pony tail that looks up-to-date, as opposed to spending 30 minutes and using a bottle of aqua net with a curling iron. what sticks these women in that time?

did i mention it was a snowy, boring day...i really had nothing else to look at.

Ok was that nurse me?? I know I looked pretty crappy when I dropped Zoe off at school, but I didn't think that my hair was that bad...

hahahahaha! you are TOO funny. no, ms. pickle b, your hair requires a whole blog of its own. no seriously, if you work with that nurse, you should tell her about the hair thing...

I do have sexy hair don't I? hahaha! I think that we should both have some kind of 80s hair on Saturday! That could be funny, except that our men would probably pretend not to know us! I will call you this afternoon or evening and we can discuss Saturday!

80's hair is SO cool. serious! the bigger the better. just don't start it on fire cuz after a can of aquanet, anything is flammable. umm...my man pretends not to know me on a regular basis. today, i fell off the couch, flat on my back, and he didn't even come upstairs to see if i was ok! he asked what happened like an hour later while he was staring at his computer...it kinda hurt. i could've broken my butt or something.
