Meaner Than Cat Crap

Perhaps not nice to say, but believe me I could say worse, and might before this post is over. I have no reason for my nastiness. I'm not even gonna try to find an excuse. I just feel cranky and snippy. Deal with it. Move on if it isn't your desire to hear griping.

First of all, my hair is driving me nuts. I had dreams all night about getting it styled and fixed. Of course, now I can't remember any of the solutions so that just ticked me off too. I AM a short-hair person. Yes. But all I'm asking is for my hair to be a little longer than a butch dyke's hair. I just once in 50 years want a different hair style that isn't the same as 80% of the old ladies in Arizona and around the aging world. I'm sick of it, I tell you. Sick of it!

So when my daughter called today with the latest update on the boys, I asked her what she thought I could do so my hair could grow a tad and not be yanked out by my own hands. She has fine hair and mine is just a little south of horse hair, so she don't know. She did tell me that she was getting wrinkles and that her husband said he knew she would when he saw me 12 years ago. Thank you, SIL. I can't tell you how much that endeared you to me. I do believe I was less wrinkled before he came into our lives. So there...

Counting calories makes me testy, too. Damn fat cells! I've eaten under 1100 calories for 2 days and have lost about 1/2 pound. Hells bells! Not the results I want, y'all. I'll bet it's my long hair that's adding the weight. Don't you think?

I gave Lola a bath. I know you don't care but I must list it as one of the reasons I'm perturbed. She shakes and wiggles and shakes again. Luckily I bathed her before my shower or I'd look worse than I do now. She's over there lying in a sun puddle as if she has the need to be recharged or something. Silly shih tzu!

Finished Fatal Error, J.A. Jance book. Blech! It was fine, but I just don't think it was worth what it cost even if she did sign it. Now I just feel guilty and wasteful if I donate it somewhere. I'm reading Great Expectations (and not because Oprah suggested it.) I just had it on hand and after Pride and Prejudice I thought I'd give it a shot. It's not doing a lot to cheer me, I'll tell ya. Pip indeed...

Let's see. Is there anything else I can gripe about? I guess that's about it for now. If I thought a minute I'm sure I'd be able to lengthen the list of  annoyances, but then no one wants to read more rants. I'll close now and go add some gel to my drooping hair. Dang it!
