Hmm watch me in my "normal" habitat and all i do is type.

and drink.

If it wasnt for these "damn*" curls. I would love fingers running thru my hair. But that gets painful for a curly girl like me.

*every once an a while I will complain about my curls. My husband is like well you can always shave your head. That is never gonna happen unless i need surgery on my head. I love my curls but I feel the right to complain about them.

Guin, I must say that I too love it when people pet my head and run their fingers through my hair. Though I associate it with comfort and safety, because my mom used to do it when we'd watch tv.

I shaved my head once. (you've seen pics, reba!)

I loved it.

little things as simple as a breeze became amazingly stimulating on a bald scalp.

wow...

well, most of the people that I'm 'hanging out with' on a regular basis are the customers who come into my store.

but, really. when i had my long hair (check my website for sites), people I barely knew would come up to me in the mall and whathaveyou and play with my hair, commenting on how beautiful it was...

now? nada...

reba: I'm pretty good with curls: I navigate my so's every once in a while.. and I had a best friend in college with shirleytemplecurls... perhaps i'll have to try my hand... i'll be VERY gentle. also, I know from the best friend in college that curly wet hair is better to be running fingers through than curly dry hair...

when I was in seventh grade I had really long hair and the lunch ladies at school always used to ask what kind of shampoo I used.

Oh, and I'll have an absolute lemonade bartender

what's not to be okay with?

here's the typical scenario:

me, standing in line at some store.
a girl or two who know me vaguely from school in line behind me.
girl says "ohmygod, your hair is so gorgeous" and begins to pet it a bit.

go from there.

I mean, these weren't COMPLETE strangers. I went to a small school. 88 people in my graduating class. I knew my entire class's first and last names...

I had to try a understated dramatic exit,.. I'd love to stay but I need to get out of here.

The bar has not been adequately stocked of late so I'm dropping off a case of Maker's Mark, Ketel One, Jameson's, a mixed case of various Cruzan Rums from the US Virgin Islands, and a special case of XXX Siglo Treinta ultra-premium tequila for everyone to enjoy.

(I forgot who mentioned the Jameson's but I made an error in judgement in saying Maker's Mark was the only good whisky out there. Now I know better.)
