Hairku for You and a Link or Two

Short, Long, Curly, Straight

My hair wears many styles.

Today it’s tangled.

(I’d show you a picture, but it would scare you silly.)

Stop over to the Imperfect Parent if you haven’t already (as in yesterday, when I should have linked my post. What can I say? Life is getting the better of me these days), where I talk about ways to ask your boss for a raise. I’ve never asked for more money, but many ladies I know are considering it. I’d love to hear your advice!

Have you seen this video yet? New Kids on the Block - Summertime (I can’t figure out how to embed it, so click over if you dare!) It’s quite good, but it also shows me that maybe somethings haven’t changed. Still babe magnets, 20 years later.

Haiku Friday: NKOTB, My Sister and Me

I bought two tickets

to see New Kids on the Block

oh yes, yes I did.

I don’t know how it happened. I got an e-mail from Ticketmaster. It said, “Get Your Tickets for NKOTB” and somehow, I found myself entering my credit card information. $184 dollars later, I have two tickets to swoon over Danny, Jon, Jordan, Donny and Joe. Mmmm. Joey. Still cute in my book. Oh what a girly-girl I am.

I’ve decided to take my sister along with me. She used to “borrow” my NKOTB cassette tapes when we were kids. I was 12, she was 6, and I think she just wanted to be like me. Back then I thought it was annoying. Now I think it’s endearing, and so totally perfect for surprising her with a ticket.

How I pray she doesn’t read the blog today (she’s been so busy she hasn’t read it in months — it would be my luck that she checks in on this day). The concert is in October, and this will be our last “Sisterly Hurrah” before she deploys for Iraq next year.

Is it dorky that I suddenly have “Hangin’ Tough” stuck in my head?

This is my first Haiku Friday. I’m joining the fun. You can, too! Visit Christina’s blog for details.

Haiku Friday

Terrible Haiku
I’m not any good at this
I gave my best shot

Christina and Jennifer have created Haiku Friday.

I’m not the best at Haiku. A good one surfaces from my mind every now and again, but today I was unlucky.

Actually, I’m just killing time until I post my Stylin’ blog entry for PBN, tonight.  I didn’t have time to upload the photos from my closet last night.  My BlogHer post took up most of my evening.

Stay tuned for a peek at the contents of my closet!
