The first question is rhetorical, but the second one, seriously, who knew?<\/p>\n<p>So, I got the hair cut, but I didn&#8217;t get any sleep, and I didn&#8217;t breathe til it was over. The good news is, my hairdresser said I look sexy. The bad news is, I think that is what I am paying her to say. Seriously though, I like it, but I will reserve final judgement until I wash it and fix it myself. Doesn&#8217;t it suck when you leave the salon all hot and then you go to get ready the next day and you&#8217;re all not? Ok, really that doesn&#8217;t happen to me, but it must happen to some people, right? Just kidding. I&#8217;m not that vain. Yes, I am, but anyway. I will try to get a picture up later for those of you who care. For the rest of you who don&#8217;t care, you should. I am awesome!!! LOL&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I am not all vanity and ego. Sometimes I am nice too, but I prefer being bitchy. It is what comes naturally, but people seem to love me anyway. Even though you couldn&#8217;t tell from my opening statement. I guess it is because I mean well. I never intentionally try to hurt anyone. I am just self absorbed most of the time. My mom says I need children to draw the attention off myself. Why would I want to do that?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I like elderly people. I love listening to their stories and making them feel loved (except when I am driving behind or next to them). I visit one of the local nursing homes here on Tuesdays. I don&#8217;t make balloon animals or do anything kooky, just listen and learn. <\/p>\n<p>Since I am not working, I try to go to daily Mass whenever I can. There was this one lady there who I have been talking to on and off for a while. When my friend Fr. Michael killed himself, I went straight to church to pray and she was there. I asked her to pray for him, for his family and for me. She said the most comforting words to me. Then I left for his funeral and was gone for a few weeks. I haven&#8217;t seen her since. Today, I finally ran into a lady who remembers the woman I am talking about (so at least I know she wasn&#8217;t a figment of my overactive imagination), but no one seems to know what happened to her. Weird, huh? I hope she is ok. Looks like I have my own little mystery to solve&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Nobody likes you. Everyone left you.
