The Hair Net

I got a little chastised for not explaining the pink hair net picture. It's not all that interesting but here it is.

Jena has decided she likes to put her hair in sponge rollers lately. We did this a lot when she was a toddler. She is now a bit of a wild sleeper so I told her she needed a hair net so the curlers wouldn't fall out. She has been asking me for one for weeks. I finally purchased it. And, well, one could not help but try the darn thing on!

Now if you are from my Dads side of the family or if you knew my Grandma Mae who is my Dads Mother you need no more explanation. Really, don't we all have memories of our grandmothers in these things?

And another thing, if anyone from the Hunt side of the family reads this blog I'm sure wouldn't know because it's not like you comment. Although few of you speak in person either, so what's the difference. Although, I know there are several 'Nielsen's' who read this and y'all aren't much for commenting either.

Two things can be said of this- 1. You are all very boring and don't know what to say. OR 2. I am very boring so you have nothing to say. I vote for number 1 but it could very likely be number 2. :) I'm a total commenter. I comment on people's blogs I don't even know, so I just don't get the comment thing.

Back to Grandma Mae. Now I grew up living next door to my grandparents. I loved this, I can't really think of anything bad about it in fact. So we got our daily dose of Grandma and the lady was a hoot! Old and Fuddy Duddy and obsessed with pink, yes. But honestly she was a kick in the pants to be with. I miss her and wish like crazy my children could have known her. Grandma and Jena are like 2 peas in a pod. Naturally funny, very girly, feisty as can be, yet they can play innocent like nothing you've ever seen. Jena's middle name is also Mae for grandma.

This is for my sister who says I'm turning into Grandma.

Ways I am like Grandma Mae-

1. I have a pink hair net.
2. I have my toes painted pink.
3. I have a grey, wiry chin hair! Yep, it's true.
   
4. My hair is going grey and falling out way too young. (This is not funny!)
5. I force my daughter to curl her hair when she doesn't want to.
6. I have a gigantic bottle of peanuts in my cupboard.
7. I love to spray people with water but will get ticked if you spray me back.
8. I try to sing, but sadly, I can't sing very well.
9. I have little slipper/house shoes.
10. I can go 'Gelk, Gelk' in my throat!
11. I don't care if I'm ticking people off when I drive, I'm always right and they are wrong.
    
12. If you sneak up and scare me I will yell, 'You little Sh*t!'

My sweet grandparents.
We Miss You!
