Heat, that Kid, Hair, and Evolution.
1. It’s chilly in Chicago.
My solution was to light the fireplace.
Little Filthy’s solution is to lean against me the entire night, leaching off my body heat.
2. You know that kid? The one supposedly in the balloon? Yeah. I’m already sick of that kid.
3. I telecommuted today. I hit the gym, walked home and jumped into the shower.
Why do people say that they ‘jumped’ into the shower? I didn’t jump into the shower. I actually just stepped over the side of the bathtub into the shower.
Anyway, when I got out of the shower, I decided I’d comb my hair in a completely different way to see if I could make it stand up in all different directions. Except I don’t own a comb. So I just ran my hands through my hair in all different directions. No, I don’t have any good reason why I would do this. None other than the fact that it is my head and I was curious and didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission.
My hair is naturally wavy so in about 20 minutes, I had quite the shaggy mess going on. My hair is short but long enough to go wavy crazy, apparently. I was pleased.
Except I had also been battling a headache all morning and QTMama convinced me to go get some Excedrin since I suspected a lack of caffeine was contributing to my headache and Excedrin has caffeine.
This meant I had to go out. With the wild hair.
I didn’t care. You know why?
Because I don’t give a shit.
4. I’m evolving. Or reforming. Whatever. Basically, what I mean is that Besos said she wanted to see a movie and knew that I would not go see it with her because it is a chick flick.
Instead of complimenting her on her astute observation on my movie watching preferences, I said, “NO, I WILL BE HAPPY TO TAKE YOU. LET US GO PARTAKE IN SAID CHICK FLICK.”
So we’re going to see Whip It on Sunday. Which, actually, shouldn’t be that bad as long as no one around me ends up bawling or something.
Bawling is a good word.
5. I was going to have a #5 but it’s so stupid, I think I will make it its own blog entry.

Just a random attorney writing about daily life with Little Filthy, my rotten dog.

1. Is your fireplace real, or does it turn on with a switch? Don’t get me wrong, I -love- switch on fireplaces, I’m just curious.
2. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Should I have watched some news today?
3. I suspect that your messy/crazy hair was probably very good. You should show it to Besos on Sunday.
4. I don’t think Whip It is really a Chick Flick. My husband wants to see it more than I do…so we’re doing that this weekend, too.
5. Yay, I love stupid blog entries. -grin-

I love Little Filthy……..
Nice to hear that you are working things out with Besos. You wouldn’t be taking her to a chick flick if you didn’t care.
Have a nice weekend.

@Susan – Totally switch-flippin’ fire. I live in a condo building so we do not have chimneys. heh.
Re: #2 – I bet by now you already know about it.
I think she’s seen my hair a mess. Or she plays with it until it is a mess. Which is awesome. Both the playing with and the mess.
And yeah, Whip It looks interesting and I’m happy to accompany her to see it.

@Sandra – We’re feeling our way through things. That …sounded more tongue in cheek than I meant it. But thank you for the nice words.
Oh, and Little Filthy wants to know if you’re going to come over and read to him this afternoon while I’m at work.

1. It’s chilly in MD too. And rainy
(. Like LF, my solution is to curl up to the warm human who shares a bed with me, spread my toes onto his warm legs, and shove my hands under any available body part. And he let’s me. Which is awesome because if he were the one with the popsicle toes I might not be so generous.
2. I heard this morning his parents told him to pretend he did it “for the show” or something. That would be pretty lame. BTW, who the hell has an experimental hot air balloon that they keep in their backyard. This reminds me of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
3. Telecommuting = happiness. I try to limit myself to one day a week so people don’t start wondering. Does LF harrass you the whole time like my dog does?
I love messy hair. And I like messing with hair.
4. Chic flicks are good for the soul every once in a while.

FootFoot does the same thing except that she is quiet a bit bigger then LF so she is warm to me.

1. I love fireplaces….and LF. He is too cute for words.
3. Messy hair = sexy hair.
4. Have a wonderful time at the movie.
5. Can’t wait…

1. Body heat is good.
2. If in need of chick flick, Body Heat is good.
3. Aforementioned movie will light fires for both genders. Martha says: it’s a good thing.
4. Excedrin is a good thing.
5. Bawling is a good word. So is clobber. So is trouble.

Random,
LOL, yeah “feeling your way through it”, is one way to solve your problems. More truth to it than you think……..
So what would the little filthster like me to read today ?
“Legalese for dogs”
or
“How to attract more bitches and get more action than my owner”
I will set them down and let him indicate with his paw which one.

Adore your blog. Stumbled here and I am happy about it. It’s all about stumbling, huh?

@MissMegs – I used to say that my Ex’s toes were heat seeking missiles. Brrr! Little Filthy is usually pretty good and sleeps on the bed while I work in the other room but when he wants attention, he will practically climb all over me. Heh. And I love that Besos likes to play with my hair. It’s sort of awesome.
@BobbiJanay – In the summer, it’s less enjoyable for all involved.
@Linda – Little Filthy says hi and that he has messy hair.

@BigLittleWolf – I usually use Advil if I have a headache but the excedrin sounds perfect for when I think I’m low on caffeine.
@Sandra – I laughed when I read your comment because when I typed it, I realized how it sounded.

@Aidan – I’m glad you’re here; thank you for dropping a comment. I hope you stick around.
