HAIR ( flow it - show it ? )

GIVE ME A HEAD WITH HAIR
LONG BEAUTIFUL HAIR
SHINING, GLEAMING, STREAMING, FLAXEN, WAXEN
GIVE ME DOWN TO THERE, HAIR
SHOULDER LENGTH OR LONGER
HERE BABY, THERE BABY, EVERY WHERE DADDY DADDY............




Sometimes you have to be grateful for the little things really.
Quite a while back I did a post on chin hair ( HERE )

It hasn't got any better- there's still that long hair that grows unbeknownst to me - until it's basically blowing in the wind ( in fact I think I may have developed another one )

I spend far too much time worrying about hair - the ones that grow on my head - my legs - my chin - and other places not fit to mention.

LET IT FLY IN THE BREEZE AND GET CAUGHT IN THE TREES
GIVE A HOME TO THE FLEAS, IN MY HAIR
A HOME FOR THE FLEAS, A HIVE FOR THE BUZZING BEES
A NEST FOR BIRDS, THEIR AIN'T NO WORDS
FOR THE BEAUTY, SPLENDOR, WONDER OF MY HAIR

BUT - while I bitch and complain about the high maintenance of hair - and stand in front of the mirror with my tweezers blindly trying to get rid of them - and complaining about my lot in life - because why oh why do I have to have a couple of chin hairs growing out like whiskers on my face -
there's women out there that have it just a tiny bit worse............

I WANT LONG, STRAIGHT, CURLY, FUZZY, SNAGGY, SHAGGY, RATTY, MATTY
OILY, FLEECY, GREASY, SHINING, GLEAMING, STREAMING, FLAXEN, WAXEN,
KNOTTED, POLKA DOTTED, TWISTED, BEADED, BRAIDED,
POWER, FLOWERED, AND CONFETTIED,
BANGLED, TANGLED, SPANGLED................................
( AND SPAGHETTI !!! ) 

A woman who began sprouting thick facial hair after the birth of her child says she no longer wants to hide away and is finally embracing her beard.
Indonesian Agustina Dorman, 38, first noticed the stubble growth when she was 25, days after the birth of her first child.
Ever since she has hidden her face under a hijab whenever outside in Penaga village, Indonesia.


But the brave woman has decided to ditch the clothing and accept her condition - regardless of the stares and unwanted attention she now attracts.
Agustina - who also sports a mild moustache and chest hair - says that whenever she attempted to cut or shave the beard she experienced unbearable pain.
After several attempts to rid herself of the goatee, she was forced to let it grow.
And scared that her children - aged 19 and three - would be bullied for their mother's appearance, Agustina hid away under the hijab.
Among Indonesia's large Muslim population, Agustina could move about without attracting unwanted attention.
But she says her eldest child began to receive taunts from others who found out about their mother's unusual condition.
It led the brave mum-of-two to confront her children's tormentors by unveiling herself and freely walking around their village for the first time this week.
She hopes that through education about her condition, people will become accepting of her appearance.

A CLOCHE is a CLOCHE not a CLOCK

Last night I was checking out Craig's List and Kijiji because I'm always checking for furniture - and lo & behold, what to my wondering eyes should appear?

A Cloche - placed in the furniture section by accident -

Suzan says - John could you pick up something for me next time you're out
John says - Sure - what?
Suzan says - something I found on Craigs list
John says - Uh Uh - NO WAY - the van is packed the rafters - I can't move in it - sorry NO
Suzan says - it's not very big - it's just a little cloche
John says - a what?
Suzan says - A CLOCHE
John says - what the hell do you need a clock for?
Suzan says - No - it's a cloche
John says - Well you can call it a cloche if you want - it's just french for CLOCK
Suzan says - IT'S NOT A CLOCK !!!!!!!!!!!!
Suzan says - A cloche is a cloche - not a clock...................

Here's a photo of it


John says - UGGGHHH - that's the ugliest thing
John says - why do you need a stand to keep fruit in - we have all kinds of fruit bowls
John says - with his head up against the screen - God is that UGLY
Suzan says - The seller's using it for fruit - I want to put little Christmas trees in it next Christmas
John looks at me much the way you look at someone you love who you've finally realized has lost their mind
seriously, he has a look of pity on his face............
Suzan says -DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT
Suzan says - You really don't have any imagination, do you?
John shakes his head -
John says - I wouldn't dare tell you where my imagination is taking me now..................
John says - You're taking that Christmas in July thing a little too far now.
John says - I've been watching it happen for a long time - but it's happened - you've lost your mind completely
John says - They're not dollhouses- they're to put fruit in - or cakes

SOURCE

Suzan says - If you pick up the cloche for me - I'll make a big chocolate cake to put inside of it
John sighs - So where exactly is this Schloche?
Suzan says - IT'S A CLOCHE - what's so difficult about that word?

He was gone 2 hours - the phone rings

Suzan says - Hello?
John says - THE GPS HAS ME GOING IN CIRCLES HERE - I CAN'T FIND THE BLOODY PLACE
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU SENT ME?
Suzan says - Calm down John you ju-----------------------
John interupts - I'M ON MY WAY HOME - I'VE HAD IT - YOU'VE SENT ME ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE FOR A BLOODY  - CLOCK - CAKE PLATE - FRUIT STAND - WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT TO CALL IT - YOU'RE TOO MUCH SUZAN - I'M COMING HOME NOW -  click
Suzan says to a dead line - it's a cloche............

and a half hour later I hear the back door open -
John yells - YOUR BLOODY FRUIT BOWL IS HERE - AND IT'S EVEN UGLIER IN PERSON
Suzan says - John thanks soooo much - I love it - I know how hot it is out and I really do apprea-----------
Johns - yeah - yeah - what's for supper - I'm starving
Suzan says - Do you think you could go to the grocery store?

'cause if he thinks I'm turning the stove on let alone baking a cake in this heat - he's the one who's lost his mind..............
I LIE................doesn't he know that by now?

AND THIS IS TOO FUNNY - the woman included the fruit - ( which I find disgusting for some reason )


While he was at the grocery store I did this quickly -


It's a CLOCK IN A CLOCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's really a cake plate............but for now and ever more it WILL be referred to as a cloche,
capishe?
As in - " It all started with a cloche your honor "

I just realized how dirty the dome is - here it is all washed up and shiny!



Have a wonderful Thursday all - I have a huge make over for tomorrow!

Much love,
