Quick follow up-

-and then I promise to switch topics to something a little more pleasant.

So yesterday was day 3 (in showering terms that means i was on my third day since a shower). Usually a day 3 requires a hat to hide any hair imperfections that could be found (i.e. grease, tangles, etc). I picked out one of my finest hats to wear; so today I looked like this:

I didn't think I looked that bad; I mean, its not my best day but it was sufficient.

At the dinner table, my dad sat down and looked at me. The following conversation ensued:

Dad: "Hey Cindy, don't you think you should take your hat off at the table?"
Me: "Dad, I really don't think that is a good idea"
Mom: "Why? Did you take a shower today?"
Me: Confused face, a slight shaking of my head.
Mom: "Well, did you take a shower yesterday?"
Me: A more sly look, a hint of guilt, and a more pronounced head shaking
Dad (looking at me like I'm 'special'): "Well, I'm assuming you're not going out tonight"
Me: "Oh, no, I am"

End conversation.

I appreciate my dads concern, but he should really know better when there are pictures like this circulating the world wide internets:

Align Center*Someone said I resembled Jabba the Hut in this photo. I choose to not acknowledge the accuracy of that statement.

i just busted out laughing so hard reading the conversation of you and your parents. Showering is over rated. people back then only bath once a month (remember in London, shakespear's theatre... that funny tour guide)

don't shower for a week, put a little baby powder in your hair to suck up the grease. i've done it. it works great!

It the 4th day for me that requires a hat. And P.S I kicked Tylers a** for saying that you looked like Jabba. He cried. But it didn't phase me, so I kicked him again with my hot pointy stiletto. I think he got the picture. He says sorry.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
