My mother was right!!!!

Okay, I have said it - there is a written record (don't get used to it Mom). Actually, Mom is usually right, I just have a hard time admitting it ... but who doesn't?

My parents visited us this weekend for Robert's ordination and it was great. So, what was my mother right about this time? I have an instinctual dislike of actually using a blowdryer. Mom has been trying to get me to do it for years and I just shrug it off (or use it while she is there and wait to get home). I do own a blowdryer ... but when Mom tried to use it she found that it had died. So, she bought me a new one - happy birthday to me. Still, I do like to have one around (just in case). I just have way too much hair to make blowdrying it even remotely fun since it generally takes forever! However, yesterday I had to go into the hospital to have a cyst removed from the top of my head and I woke up too late to shower and let my hair dry naturally before the surgery (they really hate to have wet hair in the OR). So, I grabbed the dryer and, what do you know, without any fuss or mousse or anything else ... it was cute! Who knew? Mom obviously. :-) And, yes, I did call to tell her so.

Mom was having a great day yesterday. I also took her advice and cut Ginny's hair again. Ginny has really fine hair and it is getting pretty long - which I like. Unfortunately, it grows straight into her face so unless I have pulled it back and secured it she is generally walking around chewing it. So, I combed it and cut it so that her "bang" is falling forward from the crown. She is very happy being able to see and, as Mom said, she is absolutely adorable. She actually looks the spitting image of her grandmother. I think we will have to start calling her "Little Mimi." :-)
