Hair

I got my haircut yesterday. Nothing drastic, just a trim. I am in the process of growing it out to donate it to Locks of Love for my second time. When I get my haircut, I like to have my hairstylist blow it out straight, it is luxury since I hate trying to do it on my own. So about once every two months, I have straight hair for a couple days. It is a nice change; I like my hair both straight and curly. However, I am finding that when it is straight I get twice the attention from the opposite sex. So it made me wonder, do guys like straight hair better than curly? I already know my dad doesn't like my hair straight, he said it doesn't look like me, but he seems to be in the minority when it comes to guys, at least from what I have noticed. And if guys do like straight hair better, oh well, I guess I will get less attention then (which is fine by me). I am not about to spend the 30 minutes it would take me each day to straighten it. So I will enjoy my straight hair once every couple months and stick with my curly hair, which, as I have heard several times from women in the past few weeks, is beautiful and I am lucky to have. And usually I agree.

It may not be the hair itself that the boys are attracted to, it could be how you present yourself with the straight hair. Since it's a treat to have straight hair, you may stand up taller, smile more, have a bounce in your step that boys make pick up on... since you're not "the usual you."

I've never seen you with straight hair... I can't imagine how you would look. I think that's awesome that you donate your hair to Locks of Love. If I had any courage, I'd do it. :)

Cass, you should have posted your picture. You look so cute!!! I bet girl of approval is correct - you carry yourself differenly and more confidently when you have straight hair. Try it someday with curly hair and see how it goes.... report back too, of course.

I think your blog needs more pictures of yours.

Thought of putting the picture on of me, but not sure that I want my picture connected to my blog for security purposes. And I am sure that is the case with the straight hair, I will try to carry myself with confidence with curly hair. I will start adding some pics, but all of my good ones are too big for the site, I have tried.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day

What do I do?

All week I have made some attempt to tell the parents I am leaving. It started on Tuesday, all night I tried to tell them, but everytime I was about to bring it up, one of the parents would leave the room or the baby got hurt, etc. Wednesday, I made plans to go to the neighbors when the parents got home, but I made an attempt to tell them anyway, but S was glued to my side. I kept trying to distract her with food and television, but no go. I could have just said "I need to talk to you parents, go away", but I know her well enough to know that would have only peaked her interest and she would never go away. Last night, I was SO ready to tell them. The father asked me to watch the girls for 15 minutes while he weed-whacked the yard. I said sure, thinking the mother should be home any minute and then I could tell her when he is outside (I decided that if I can't tell them both at the same time, I will tell the mother alone). I waited and waited and waited. Not only was it 8

Target

I called my Mom to tell her that the parents are back and that I am responsibility-free in the evenings and weekends again. She didn't answer, but returned my phone call soon after. I told her my news, and she shared with me that she was about to head into the new Target. We are a family of Target-lovers, what's not to love? As she walked in, she said "it's huge." I tried talking to her, but could tell that she was distracted. She started to ask me something, "Did you... you should see the card section, it is like the one in Grand Forks." I, again, tried to change the subject back to what I was talking about. I finally let her go because she needed to finish shopping in there before returning home to watch Lost, throwing in "it has a Starbucks" before we said our goodbyes. A few minutes later my phone rings. It is my Mom again, she called to say "You should see all the food they have. They have a lot of organic food, organic oatmeal and or
