What I Learned in Kindergarten Wednesday

I realize I didn't post yesterday, but let's just come to terms early on in this relationship that it's likely I'm going to miss days. Hopefully, not many, but I'm just not always feeling the need to write and in order for whatever it is I'm talking/thinking about to come out even remotely coherently, I need to want to write about it. Otherwise, you get a bunch of garbled mess, which I'm trying desperately to avoid!

Anyway, I was too busy dancing around my house to Madonna. Starting with True Blue, which brought back so many great memories, I'm going to have to keep it on my favorites. I was eight or nine when it came out and I remember dancing on our pool deck (hand-built by my father, as our pool was also dug by himself! I'm tellin' you my dad is a BAMF) with the cassette tape playing the tape deck rocking out with my neighborhood girlfriends. Fun! But, I digress...it was a tangent alright, just not one that allowed me to sit down long enough to type out anything about how it was making me feel. So, that was it in a nutshell!

Anyway, today I sent off a letter to a production company to see if they'd be interested in working with me. I went in sort of silly, but that's my personality and I figure, this is how I'm going to be when they meet me face to face, so why act one way I'm not right off?

What does this have to do with What I Learned In Kindergarten? Well, in kindergarten, I was taught about manners (like anyone uses those these days, seriously) and to always be polite and gracious. I've been those two things my entire life and I've learned that really only those who are aggressive in some form will get anywhere. I've been too afraid to be aggressive in things that I've wanted for myself for whatever reason and I'm done. I'm not going to be an outright bitch about things, but I am gonna do Me and do it well. ;)

My script's getting picked up and I'm getting this thing going!

What I Learned in Kindergarten Wednesday

Ha! I'm just realizing that I haven't posted anything for today. I'll do a little something since I have about an hour before it's Thursday. ;)

I titled today what I did because I'm coming across things that I feel I should have known how to do earlier in life, but for some reason I didn't.

The best example I can think of is blow drying my hair. I've been doing it for years, but only recently have I learned how to do it with a round brush as opposed to my traditional air pick. The air pick did its job, but did not make my hair feel as nice as using a round brush does. I really had no idea how much of a difference it really makes.

I'm working on a chronology of my hair, in which I hope to include photos of me and my sad 'hairstyles' over the last three decades of my life, that will be posted probably on either Tangent Tuesday or perhaps Simmer Down Sunday.

I'm also learning the importance of a trim. I've never regularly had my hair trimmed since the 'incident' circa '81. By 'incident' I mean I gave myself a mini haircut, which started out very minor and inconspicuous and blew into very major and conspicuous. Awesome. That's what I get for having a grandmother who's business was a drapery shop run out of her house. But I digress...

My neighbor happens to be a hairdresser and she was kind enough to cut my hair today at no charge. She's awesome! Yay for nice neighbors with awesome skills and wonderful dispositions! I'm going to make sure I get my hair trimmed at least once a month now, since she's literally next door and doesn't mind.

I'm going to learn how to make some homemade doggy treats for her Pugs (she has two, they're hyper, but cute little things) as a thank you for the haircut. My hair feels SO much nicer! I also hope it will help with the length, I'd love to have longer hair, but I'm also just now learning the proper combinations of products to really keep my hair 'healthy' (I quote that because one's hair is actually just dead protein cells hanging off one's head, it isn't even alive. I promise, look it up), so maybe I'll get the longer hair that I want. We'll see.

All right, it wasn't much, but I warned you. ;) I'm getting sleepy anyway. *yawn* G'night!
