Christmas List and Cheese

Part 1)

I haven't been sleeping too hot for about 4 nights.  That is a lot for me. I am a sound sleeper.  So I've been having dreams.  Dreams that I remember and leave me rather filled with angst.  The ones you wake up with fist clinched and just a little pissed.  Well I have noticed some of my dreams current and past have cheese in them.  Not giant wedges of cheese but items with cheese.  An example I was eating a cheese pizza. Then I remember a conversation with a good friend (who is sadly no longer my friend.  It's very complicated and mostly my fault.) Brian. Disclaimer of no romantic relationship.   He was telling me of hearing about people sending other people ideas in their dreams.  I specifically remember asking him to send me dreams of cheese. So although my dreams are at first disconcerting I also find the ones with cheese a comfort.  Maybe Brian is also some days wishing we were friends. 

Part B)

Christmas Lists.  Do you have one?  Have you made plans to make one?  What things do you ask for?  I am considering the items I would like to ask for as gifts.  I gave my Mom an idea.  I gave Luke an idea.  I need more ideas.  So I consider the things that I like. Reading which I prefer to pick out my own books unless I specifically ask for one.  Music which makes my world go around.  I have an Ipod (this is my favorite material possession) so no CD's needed.  I want it I download it and the next day am singing in the car.  Clothes better leave that one alone.  Seriously?  My husband has way better taste in clothes, but I am super picky and less stylish than him. So are those the only three things I like....YUP as I am out of ideas I can reach no further than those things.  I wonder if I can convince him to surprise me with the most prefect gift I have ever wanted and not tell him what it is... So in the long and short of it..Can I steal your Christmas Wish Lists?

Hair Angst

Am I the only lady out there unhappy with their hair.  I am in a constant state hair angst.  I have had a recent experience to see my hair through the ages and in all of them I had bad hair :(
I had a super cute short do that I loved!  No combing, no drying, just a little goo and off I went.  My husband on the other hand hated it, and I know I should so what I want with my hair. I am married to the man and I do want him to find me attractive.  SO I am in the growing out stage. YUCK!
I had long hair too.  The kind that is always put up in a bun and wasn't let out too many times.  I have a picture of said hair free flowing and it was beautiful.  I miss it too.  I have to say having the two extremes both made made me feel like a powerful woman sure of herself.  But can a bad hair cut take that away from you? YES, it can.  It can make you feel ugly, self conscious and way out of your comfort zone.
My hair inspiration seems to come from men.  Have you see Shaun White lately?  All that beautiful red hair.  I would like to proclaim his hair is wasted on him, but I feel this is incorrect.  It takes a man to be comfortable with his hair.  Not to cut, high light, low light, add feathers, and other hair misdemeanors is a completely man thing.  A woman would only ruin the beauty that is Shaun White's red hair. Thanks to Shaun I have been inspired to continue in the wait for hair growth.
I will go see Shannon (my hair stylist) in November.  I am excited to see her its been since July. I will get to here about her new baby and how her son has adjusted to his baby sister.  But its just from a trim and a thin. Mr. White thanks for that beautiful hair.
