Should I go straight or curly?
Usually, when I get up in the morning, I pull my hair back and wrap a rubber band around it and start the day. I have so much hair (thick and lots of it!) that styling my hair is a time-consuming affair. With a hectic morning routine of getting my daughter out of bed, dressing her, feeding her breakfast, then driving her to preschool, I rarely have time to get myself dolled up. So it boils down to, if I’m going somewhere special, have a client meeting, or getting together with some friends, I would make the effort to fix my hair so I look “decent.”
Every morning last week I woke up extra early and styled my hair, which prompted this conversation:
Husband: “Where are you going today?”
Me: “Nowhere. I just want to look good in case we have to go to the hospital and give birth today.”
Husband (rolling his eyes): “Oh, brother!”
Me: “Hey, the first time one goes through labor and delivery it’s excusable to be unprepared. The new mom can look like a train wreck. The next time, she needs to know better. I need to look fabulous!”
So on top of the hair stylin’, I’ve had a pedicure so that I have cute piggies while my legs are in the stirrups (I’m gonna be looking at them a long time!), and I’ve had my wax appointment so that I have soft, smooth legs. I’ve got to be a “Yummy Mummy” this time around – and taking nesting to completely new heights! 🙂
Jamee, I like the curly – but the straight is a newer look! Don’t you just love it when you pull your look together and your husband thinks you are going somewhere??? Somehow those kind of comments make me wonder ‘and what do I look like normally???’ The good thing is that they love you – one way or the other!
I like both…very different looks! I can only imagine this conversation, but I thought this was hilarious! Classic Jamee humor!!
Jamee – I vote for straight!
Looks like I’m still styling my hair tomorrow. I’m still pregnant as of March 24.
Phooey! I didn’t get the right date!
straight. but i don’t think you care much by now. hopefully the baby will be here soon.
