What the Hell? Hair, Mice, and the 80s Posted on 10:04, November 11th, 2009 by Small Town Mommy
Today is What the Hell Wednesday. The Blue Monkey Butt sisters decided that I should be given one day a week where I bitch about things (I think it was so they didn’t have to hear me bitch every day) and this is it. This is when I talk about some of the things that I can’t believe. I may have mentioned in the past that I have big hair. I had to share this photo with you (because why shouldn’t you see me at my worst)…
Yesterday, one of the cats found, caught and disemboweled a mouse. The shrieking that ensued was earsplitting (from Libby, not the cat). WTH?!? Where is Small Town Daddy when you need him. I had to clean up the carcass all by myself. It was extraordinarily unpleasant. I was invited to an 80s party this weekend. I have mentioned that I love the 80s. My MP3 player could provide the soundtrack for the entire night. But I don’t know what to wear. I am 40 lbs heavier than I was in the 80s and I haven’t saved any of my clothes from that time period, except my prom dress, maybe I should wear that (oh, wait, I still have to deal with those 40 lbs). WTH?!? How am I going to be the queen of the 80s without anything to wear? I have another reminder event that I can’t remember what it means. Today, I have on my calendar, “Feed the Hungry Event.” WTH?!? Was I going to feed the hungry? Was there some type of event I was supposed to attend? Was I supposed to bring snacks for hungry people? Was it a reminder to eat breakfast? I wish I could remember. If I was supposed to be attending your Feed the Hungry Event this morning, I am sorry I missed it. Today is Veteran’s Day. For the first time, the kids are in school rather than having the day off. WTH?!? Yeah, I got nothing. I am glad they’re in school. I have no fighting, arguing or demands. As part of my Facebook theme, today I am thankful for Entenmann’s chocolate chip filled cake. Don’t forget to visit the girls from Blue Monkey Butt. You can find out what others are bitching about today.

WTH?!? This is why I usually wear my hair in a ponytail. Although, if I put enough time and product into it, it will turn out OK (ignore the red eyes, apparently Small Town Daddy has no photography skills).

Well you have the big hair for the 80′s (hahahaha). I’m sure what you were going to do to feed the hungry will come to you tomorrow, when it’s to late (then again I’m sure they will be hungry tomorrow too). At least that is what happens to me. Happy Wednesday to you!
Your memory sounds like mine. At least you write things down. When my mom tells me of an important date she asks me if I want to write it down. I point to my head and say, it’s all up here. She shakes her head as if to say, that girl isn’t going to remember anything I just told her. Have a great quiet day, my daughter is home and we’re going shopping!
What a cute meme! I’ve never seen this one before. My kids don’t have school today and I think that is strnge, because Veteran’s Day is in the middle of the week. Have fun at your 80′s party!
You already have the hair for the party now all you need are leg warmers and some pink and purple eyeshadow and lip gloss. Sparkly big earrings and a day-glo shirt. Leg warmers are attempting to make a comeback, Target has them.
I have mystery reminders too. I don’t know what I am thinking when I make them but they are so cryptic I can’t figure them out. I am sure I miss appointments all the time.
And I thought I had big hair! You win hands down.
80′s party…black leggings with leg warmers, oversize sweater with some big earrings and you’ve already got the big hair. Good to go.
Disemboweled mice shouldn’t be allowed when Small Town Daddy isn’t home. What the hell?? Gross.
Thanks for playing along!
Not to rub it in, but your hair is very similar to mine, minus the blonde part, and mine is almost always in a pony tail, or bun. For your party get a pair of spandex, tease your hair, and one of those torn off extra big sweat shirts, tank top under neath, with the shirt hanging off one shoulder. Someone will think you are in Flashdance. Have fun, be sure to post how it goes.
I have one child whose school is out today and two who are in – both private catholic schools… weird!
Now that I live in almost zero humidity my hair is not nearly as big, but I do have some photos of my husband and I in 1989 and my hair is so big he barely fits in the photo. Poor guy, he’s tucked of to the side trying to stay in the frame.
I agree with the tank top and off the shoulder sweat shirt or tee shirt. Of course I fully embraced the Flash Dance look back then. You could also go for the Desperately Seeking Susan/Madonna look. The lace gloves, mini skirt with leggings and lots of bangle bracelets. (yes I embraced that look too) You must post photos of whatever look you decide to go with. Have fun!
Yea, I dont like dead things either! My cat used to bring me those “gifts”. I was relieved when he obviously decided I was no longer worthy.
well wasn’t that nice of the cat to bring you a little present. ewwww
small town daddy isn’t the only one with a lack of photography skills, my husbanb thinks he takes a picture but really he’s getting nothing at all. Who knows what buttons he’s pushing…lol
I think I need an Entenmann’s chocolate chip filled cake.
Hey, just run to the nearest store–the 80′s fashions are making a comeback!! I LOVED the 80′s!!!
I like your hair! Mine is flat. Flat. Flaaaat!
I’d love that much hair…this is my first visit.

Anne-you did not have big hair like that in college! It was all layered and coiffed all the time. Go back to your old hair dresser. Or find a new one. At least it will work for 80′s themed party. Do you have thrift stores in the small town. Because one trip to the good will and you will be good to go for 80′s night. Think Cindy Lauper. Plastic jewelry. Big rubberband at the top of your head with the hair fountaining down. Huge hoop earrings. Huge shoulder padded jackets. Tights, long sweaters with big, ugly wide belts and ankle boots. You remember. All that clothing resides at your local good will or thrift store. Ten bucks and you’ll have a complete outfit! Please take pictures of you and Small town daddy for all of us to see!
I love your hair, big is always better, flat hair is boring. You could probably find something to wear for the 80′s party at any store, everything is coming back in style! Maybe you were suppose to be hungry today? That’s where the Entenmann’s cake comes into play! Thanks for playing with us today!
I love the 80′s! Is the chocolate chip filled cake kinda of like blondies cause I’m real thankful for blondies.
I love that you have ‘big hair’ – it’s similar to mine, which is why I grow mine so long (almost to my butt) because the weight of it pulls most of the wavy curls out of it so it’s easier to attack with the flat iron to tame it down. But some days I just throw it into a wild pony tail because it is a lot of work.
Ewwww! Your cat caught and disemboweled a mouse?? Yeah, Small Town Daddy should have been there for clean up…
Looking forward to what you come up with to wear for your 80′s party!
Was that the worst of you? It is really not that bad.
I just hated the part about the mouse … family violence?
Yes, God Bless Entenmens cakes. Love them! Last year for my 40th b-day we did an 80′s party. I went to the local Goodwill and bought an acid washed denim mini skirt (there were a TON of them!) and bought some leg warmers and made my hair big and wild! I had a blast! Enjoy!
You are so funny
My friends who have big hair don’t believe me when I say that sometimes I wish I did, but it’s true – mine is so flat, thin, and lifeless that I can’t ever wear pony tails because I look bald!
I am glad you didn’t post pictures of the mouse – yikes!
I LOVE the 80′s too – it would be so fun to be invited to an 80′s party but I would definitely have to go to a costume shop.
Happy Veteran’s Day and thanks so much for the comment about Cosmo the other day.
I probably shouldn’t tell you that you look a little like Michele Duggar in that photo, should I?
She’s a pretty woman, so it is a compliment. I think.
An 80s party sounds like so much fun. I’m sure you can throw something together, a lot of that stuff just goes in and out of style. Tights, some leg warmers, and over-sized sweater dress.
You might need bigger hair though.
Ew on the mice.
An 80′s party sounds fun. Even if you can’t find anything to wear, you’ve got the hair for it.
Ewwww.. your mouse story reminds me of my place, every time something nasty, yukky, smelly happens with or to one of the animals hubby is never around. It’s like they have that talk with the animals of the house and decide that all the stuff will happen when they are not home!
The publicist got married in the 80ies; 1982 to be exact. *sigh* Now it’s the oldies…
She used to have a cat that would eat all parts of the mouse but the head. He would then leave her the head in the food bowl in the morning like a little cat gift.
She did not appreciate this gift.
