Haircuts

Isn't it amazing how liberating it is to get a haircut? My hair had gotten very long, but I was sick of it. I was putting it in a ponytail everyday, and that's usually a sign to me that it's time to get it whacked. Once I make up my mind to do it, I want to do it right then, so yesterday I walked into a place I had never been to before and got 5 or 6 inches chopped off.

Iron Man And Ruby

Wesley is in total superheros mode right now. His favorite shows used to be Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! and Blues Clues. Now it's Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-Man Unlimited, Iron Man, X-Men, etc. When did he make that transition? These superhero shows are sometimes a little violent in my opinion. I'm sure they're not meant for 4-year-olds to watch, but neverless we let him watch them. Actually, Arturo and I are enjoying those more than the Noggin and Nick Jr. programs that we had gotten so used to. It's so cute to watch Wesley put pencils between his fingers and pretend he's Wolverine or put on his Spider-Man costume and shoot webs at me or get down on the floor and do Iron Man poses. I love how active his imagination is, and I love having a little boy!

On another note, Wesley is loving our new puppy, Ruby. It's just like I was picturing in my mind before we got a dog. I was imagining him running around the yard with her, petting her and snuggling up with her for a nap. He is also learning some responsibility. I let him give her her food and water, brush her and tell her no when she's being naughty. He's also been better behaved since we've had her, and I'm wondering if it's because he's not getting all the attention anymore. I, on the other hand, am doing all the dirty work. This morning I had to get up at 5:25 to let her outside. Normally, she wants to go out at 6:30, which is still early for me, so that has taken some getting used to. We're also still working on the housetraining. She's crate-trained already, but she is still having accidents in the house. I know it will be well worth the effort once she is completely trained, but getting there is a pain in the bootay. She is a good girl, though, and we are so glad to have her in our family.

He Was Mine First

Okay, as most of you know, I've liked the actor Gabriel Byrne for, let's see, going on 18 years. What?!?! Good grief, that's a little painful to admit. Anyway, most of you and all other people never really even knew who he was until shown a picture or a mention of a certain character in a movie. Now, G.B. has his own show on HBO, In Treatment. He has won a Golden Globe or one of those kind of awards for his efforts, and now he is being labled a sex symbol and the next "McDreamy." This man is almost 60 years old, and they are just now recognizing how incredibly good-looking and what a great actor he is? I must admit, I am a little jealous that all women in America have taken notice of my Gabe and find him so appealing. It's not like I've been in love with Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise all these years. My infatuation started when this man was middle age already. Well, the infatuation is starting to wear off. You see, once other people started noticing my crush, he was not as delectable anymore. I can't believe I'm saying this, but is Gabriel Byrne not doing it for me anymore? Well, the current Gabriel Byrne is not. But, I will always love to revisit his old films (i.e. Shipwrecked, Hello Again, End of Days, etc.) when he wasn't a sex symbol to rekindle old feelings. *Sigh*
