T-minus 15…

…to leaving for Small Group. So this has gotta be quick and dirty. That’s really my whole point.

Anyways.

I have curly hair. Now I have curly short hair (shortest it’s EVER been! Ah!) and I’m not quite sure what to do with it. It seemed great right after my hair-girl made it all pretty and straight and perfect, but now it’s back in my inept hands, and it kind-of looks like an unkempt cat landed on my head.  I feel rather like a sleepy toddler most of the time. You know the kind, with a juice dribble on her front and adorable curls sticking up all over her head and one finger in her mouth and the other looking for Cheerios to munch or a finger to grab? Except I’m 25, so I’m not sure that works for me. At the very least I guess I should stop spilling juice on myself.

I can’t paint numbers on trash cans. I discovered this today when our trash can inexplicably disappeared and new, bigger one appeared in its place. How I wish that happened with cooler things than trash cans. Anyways, I rushed out with my little can of paint to claim it (216! C! Don’t steal! Play nice!) and my sixes are a little drunken-looking. Numbers have always been my nemesis – apparently even a can of paint, one of the most creative things in the world, can’t redeem them.

Yesterday while out shopping, Adam and I walked into a strange sign on the ground. It read: CAUTION CURB FACE in large yellow letters. I get that they’re trying to keep klutzes like me from breaking something, but really? That was the best way to articulate this problem? At any rate, Adam and I have been calling each other CURB FACE ever since, so… I don’t really know what that means for the city, actually.

Annnnnnd BREAK!

  1. I love it! Curb Face. What a fantastic insult. It’s better than “mind the gap,” because it actually has a personality attack in it. 🙂

  3. Your hair is free-ACKING adorable. What I wouldn’t give to have like yours.

    I am tripley doubley serious.

    Stupid Curb Face.

  5. i can imagine the meeting for the ‘caution curb face’ sign went a little like..
    “hey, people keep tripping on that curb and landing on their faces. we need a sign to warn them.”
    “yeah, youre right. what should it say?”
    “how about, ‘walk with caution, curb may cause tripping and landing on face’?”
    “hey, woooah. we pay per word. lets tighten that up a bit.”
