It's Another One of Those Days ...

I have absolutely nothing to talk about.  Nada.  So grab a glass of milk and maybe some cookies, you might even want to go to the bathroom because that means this is sure to be a long one ...

And what do I want to talk about today?  Cowlicks.  Yes.  I'm serious.  Let's hold up a minute here and let me pose this question, does this word REALLY come from the idea that a cowlick looks like "where a cow licked ya in tha head" or is this something that my deep DEEP east Texas roots have led me to believe ... ?  Anyways ... 

Back to actual cowlicks (wherever it came from) I have 2 (that I know of) cowlicks.  And where are they?  On both sides where my hair should part.  Does this mean I'm made for a hair-straight-down-the-middle kind of a look?  You all know, from far too many recent posts that I WANT BANGS, so the down the middle look is not so much an option.  Especially after I hacked lightly touched up my bangs myself.  So this morning I spent about 15 minutes more than I needed to trying to tame this monster ...

(Yes, it's 11:30 AM and I don't have any eye make-up on.  What of it?  And let's please pause and note that that is my LEFT eyebrow, STILL IN TACT!)




Anyone have a remedy for these boogers?  Beside the one I've already come up with (which is cutting them down to the root and/or pulling them out) because I'm not sure it's the most visually ... appealing ... I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have ... because apparently screaming at it in the mirror doesn't. so much. work.

In other news, I'm going to happy hour with some of my FAVORITE ladies tonight.  I met these girls over three years ago working at a construction company.  I love them.  Because they are not drama.  AT. ALL.  Anyone else have the issue where you work now or at previous places you've worked of girls just being gossipy and rude and BACK STABBING (can I GET an amen?) in the work place?  And the best part is, it's usually for NO REASON other than the fact that they've just decided they don't like you.  And are going to make your life H-E double hockey sticks.  Thankfully I don't have that problem where I work now.  And also did not with these girls.  They made (and still make) my life H.E.A.V.E.N.  I heart them.  Here's a pic of their sweet faces, even though tomorrow's pics from tonight will look just the same.  But, as I always say, the more pics the better, well for some of us, not for my mister (here come the eye-rolls) ... I love you sugar. 


 

And I can't wait to see you girls!!!  It's been TOO long!!!  Aren't they so purty?

Oh and PS - the shoes, since so many of you sweet-commented and asked, are Ralph Lauren.  That I got on pyscho sale at Macy's.  I'm pretty sure they were like 70% off.  I heart them.  But they do NOT heart me.  Actually, I'm pretty sure they hate me from the amount of pain they cause to my tootsies.

  2. I don't have a cowlick but I kind of wish I had one... it's better than abormally natural blonde hair on your naturally brown head that makes you look bald...

  5. Try Brilliantine by Bumble and Bumble on your cowlicks!! I love it! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BIZSUS/ref=asc_df_B000BIZSUS1020031?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=googlecom09c9-20&linkCode=asn&creative=380341&creativeASIN=B000BIZSUS

    I have soo many shoes that do not love me back. Since I've been running my feet are so much more sensitive too. Why are super cute heels not super comfortable? I have tried SuperFeet in one pair though and that does help!!
