Me, My Hairdresser, And You

My dear friend, Larry G, the most romantic guy on the internet, sweetly sent me the Honest Scrap award. Thank you, Larry!

Before I pass this on, I'm supposed to reveal ten honest things about myself. Well, between me, my hairdresser, and you . . .

  1. I used to be a dangerous sleeper. By that, I mean that I would start swinging if I were disturbed. Having a co-sleeping, nurse-on-demand infant broke me of that habit immediately. Now, I could be mauled by wolverines (a rather similar experience, actually) without waking. But, let someone within a half mile radius whimper "mom," and I'm fully alert.
  2. I haven't colored my three gray hairs, yet, but I'm considering it.
  3. My dream job is to be a cohost on The View.
  4. Despite hearing all of the blather about taking care of yourself first, I can't do it.
  5. If my house was on fire, the only material possession that I would grab on my way out is my planner. That's OCD for you, baby! Oh, and I would also be pretty miffed about the unscheduled fire.
  6. I can laugh about almost anything.
  7. When I pray, I picture Jesus listening and gently stroking my hair.
  8. I haven't sent out a thank you to all of you blood donors in a while. Did you know one of you might have saved my life?
  9. At this time, there are five generation of women alive in my family. Women in my family typically live to be 100.
  10. I'm a talk radio junkie.
Your turn, Petra Michelle!

Great list! Yeah it's amazing what we'll tell the hairdesser isn't it? I told the guy that cut my hair yesterday the first time I ever had a wa.... Ok too much information! Have a great weekend!

over the past few years, the gray hairs on my head of multiplied--i blame it on my kids. it's annoying b/c i hate dying my hair

Matty said...

I like these types of lists, because others get to know more about the people they follow.

Mojo said...

If you're B-Neg, it might've been me. But I hate to think about what befell you that you'd have needed me. Don't believe I ever heard that story. So can I add my thanks to yours? Because chances are you're not B-neg (most people aren't) and that means we all owe somebody a great debt.

'Cause the world's a much nicer place with you in it.

And that's the honest truth. ;)

Five generations of women? Lucky you.

I think you would be great on The View. :)

Jen said...

I too would grab my planner, although now it's an iPhone and my LIFE WOULD END if anything happened to it. ;)
Highlights. Love my highlights.
And I can't donate blood. They'd take one look at my platelet level and laugh at me. Thankssomuch, thrombocytopenia! Sigh...

Unknown Mami said...

Congrats on the award and great list. Please have me on as a guest on The View when you get that cohosting gig.

If you only have 3, just pull them out - it's quicker, less painful, less messy, cheaper and less damaging than dyeing.

I've always wondered why people talk about "unexpected emergencies." Is that to distunguish them from the regularly sceduled emergencies?

Sylvia said...

You are a hero with a sweet butter heart.

Fresh Mommy said...

Ohh fun list to read!! I love your OCD comments as well, lol. :)

The Maven said...

When you said 'co-sleeping, nurse on demand...' it made me smile. A lot. You are even awesomer than I thought, and that's really saying something! :)

G said...

Great list.

Haven't been to a hairdresser in decades (and I doubt that I'll be at one in the near future), but it is interesting what we tell the people that we see on a weekly basis, that we would otherwise not say to anyone else.

petra michelle; Whose role is it anyway? said...

And, here I thought, I knew everything about you, MZ! ;)

Most definitely can see you on the View. They think they're ratings are high now!

And five generations of women, MZ?
Can imagine your Thanksgivings! :))

Thank you for passing along another added burden to my do list! Am honored, MZ! Thank you!

See, even the universe aka blogger has something to say about this!

vword: okbimbo Yikes!

Talon said...

It's comforting to know that we can enjoy decades more of Mama Zen blogging :)

Sheila said...

Number 4 is so me and I love your answer to number 7!

The OCD side of me will not respond to your number 5, for fear of incrimination! :)

Congratulations on yoru award! I'm new to your blog and am looking forward to some great reading!

Mama Smurf said...

What's your family's secret? 5 generations? 100 yrs? Wow....

swapnap said...

Liked the thought that when you pray God strokes the hair of his daughter saying, "am there, no worries". Thats nice

Thank You ZOM for stopping by mine.

stephanie (bad mom) said...

Three grey hairs, wow. I'm pretty sure mine started with a colony of at least 103. And I have dyed them mercilessly since.

I love the picture of Jesus stroking your hair; I usually imagine him raising his eyebrows at me...

Jannie Funster said...

Holy cow 5 generations, that so rocks!!

If you're B+, you've may well have my corpuscles roaming around in you making you do all those nutty things you are so wont to do.
