Fwipping Ova

Why is it that on the day you have an appointment for a cut and color, your otherwise unruly and somewhat lifeless mop turns out looking the best it has in months? It has fluff and it lays just right. Here I was all happy-go-lucky last night before dropping Snowflake off at the neighbors to go under the blades.

My hairdresser made me feel oh-so-good on my last evening as a 36 year old. She thought I was 31. I'll definitely take that! After being shorn, I forgot to buy some decent spray and stopped at the gas station where my choices were AquaNet or Suave Natural Hold. I went with the Suave. The stench? I thought I was hanging out at a Tupperware plant or in the enbalming room. It's worse than a vintage can of early 80's AquaNet. The hold? It's comparable to the lift of a 90 year olds boobs. It's just noxious spray in a can that does absolutely nothing! So here I am this bright and shiney mornin' not quite used to my new 'do. I feel all momly yet I asked for sexy! It'll be fine in a few weeks, back to normal shagginess.
I was very stunned this morning when sweet little Snowflake started blabbering in the tub, "No shit! No shit! No shit!" I asked him where he learned those words and he chirps, "Nan!" I told him we don't use those words as I ignored how hilarious it actually sounded. Tonight we have our first "Kindermusic" class at the Conservatory. I saw a partial roster and he has classmates with the names of Parker, Weseley, Ivan, Vanessa and Anastasia. He'll fit right in. Insider secret: His real name is True. Here he is looking serious:

I can't forget the other bambino in the household. He will be eight this summer and he still acts like a two year old. He really wanted to french me, but I kept him at bay. He almost gave me a big fat juicy lip here which would have been okay with me because I could use some plumping in that area.
So far so good. The shocking news is that tonight we're going out for Chinese. Big Pappy hasn't set foot in a ethnic restaurant since his beer-belly was a twinkle in his eye. My brother and I, along with my dad's sister all have the same birthday. Oh yeah, and Chuck Dickens, too.

Like a Malaysian Masseuse barking orders, at exactly 3:06pm I will officially "fwip-ova" into another year. I have decided to boldly go where I have never gone before. Stunned? Shocked? Unsure? Excited? Happy? Hopeful? I am all of the above.
