Feeling like a big baby who wants some attention. Why? Because Alan spent the last half hour before going to work on the phone and not with me after I had made him a nice dinner.

What a big baby I am.

So I get up this morning and Alan walks into the room. He looks at me and then his face breaks into a smile, not a good morning I missed you while I was at work and I love you smile but an amused smile. Then he says “Your hair is all crazy“. And my response is: I know I washed it last night and now it’s a little poofy. He says “Your hair looks cute“. So I say is that only a you look cute cuz you love me? What would someone else say about my hair? He just smiled and walked away.

Ok…so what’s the crazy thing? I cut my hair. Doesn’t really sound crazy does it? Well the craziness factor is here:

It was Thanksgiving morning. I hopped into the shower and was washing my hair when I snapped. I just got fed up, FED UP WITH ALL MY HAIR. I asked Alan for a pair of scissors and a rubber-band. He had no idea what I was doing. He just obliviously handed me the items and walked away. After some slow snip snip with the dull scissors and without looking in a mirror my hair was gone. I cut off 2 feet of hair. I called Alan back to help me finish it. Of course it was lopsided which is what happens when one goes hacking away at their hair without looking. Alan helped me straighten it and it doesn’t look bad. But what I dreaded happened. It poofed out. It doesn’t look crazy though…well only this morning when I woke up. But nothing a brush can’t tame a little.

It may be hard to tell from my candy scarf picture but I did something crazy. Here’s a picture of Alan for a hint on what crazy thing I did.

Stumped? Here’s a more noticeable hint.

I finished my candy color scarf. When I finished it and tried it on I didn’t like it right away. I thought it looked funny. Alan says it’s soooo bright. He thinks it looks weird. It’s a windy city scarf but I made the hole too big.

I was thinking about frogging it. But it’s grown on me. I rather like it now and I even wore it out today.

Pssst…hey I’ve got something to tell you…I was a shy girl. Can you tell by reading my blog?

Growing up I was very shy. In high school I think I got a little bit better. But people who didn’t know me thought I was quiet. I think that’s even what’s in my year book. It’s Kuky “does she ever speak”.

Now that I’m grown GROWN up I’d say I’m a whole lot better but sometimes I still get overwhelmed by too many people. Give me one person and I am great. Give me two and I’m uncomfortable. Three or more, I can clam right up. You might not hear a single peep out of me if I’m in front of three strange new people. That happens only rarely now but when it does I wonder where witty charming oh so talkative Kuky has gone? I stand there quietly listening to the talking around me, while I’ve reverted back to a shy little girl of ten.

This post was originally written on Wednesday and all set to go up and then I thought oh I’ll wait for Friday and put this up for cling. I just checked Lopie’s site and there are tons up already. I could have put this up after all. Oh well. Better late then never I guess.

So this is me clinging to my mom. I don’t know if I ever REALLY clung to my mom like this but it’s what I thought about trying to imagine myself as a shy girl.
