Stands with a Fist

This morning I thought I would sleep in a little bit. Mr. A had his last day of mid-terms and didn’t need to be at school until 9 am. I’ve been working extra hours the past few weeks and could afford to be late to work.

I was snuggled deep in my flannel sheets when suddenly my eyes flew open. I had to be at an 8 am budget meeting. Oh fudge!

I’m on a wash-my-hair-every-other-day schedule so it doesn’t get too damaged by the hair dryer. Today was a wash-my-hair day. I wish I could let my hair air dry but it has a mind of its own. If I don’t take the time to blow dry my hair with a round brush, I look like Stands with a Fist from the movie Dances with Wolves.



Well, I rushed through my morning routine, walked out of my house and into the Florida humidity that suddenly returned. I managed to get the kids dropped off (Mr. A had lots of study time in the library) and get myself to work with time to spare. But round brush aside, I still looked like Stands with a Fist. Ugh.

Now I’m thinking that the wild woman look may actually work to my advantage when it comes to putting my foot down during the upcoming budget planning. However, I do draw the line at the buckskin dress.

Hey, that look completely looked for Stands With A Fist; why not you?? It landed her Kevin Costner, back when he was worth landing. Love that movie, BTW.

I bet your hair looked pretty sexy that way.

A VERY funny post. Since I cut my hair, it MUST be blowdried, adding a whole new horrible dimension to the morning.

Come on, no buckskin dress?! If I don't blow my hair out with a large round brush, I look like a Springer Spaniel or a Poodle!

Dear Anonymous -

I saw "Dances with Wolves" in Pensacola with a guy named Marc who also happened to have a very long Polish last name.

Unless you're Marc, I bet you're thinking of a different movie.

Either way, I loved the movie.
