Why do I end up singing along to some of the songs I most dislike? There's a Jason Mraz song in heavy rotation on my favorite station that is driving me insane. There's something in his voice that I can't stand*, but damn, if that song isn't just plain fun to sing. Every time I catch myself doing it I punch myself in the thigh. It hasn't helped.
The other day, as I was leaving the grocery store, a woman stopped me and asked where I got my hair cut. She said she had been trying to get a cut like mine for awhile but her stylist doesn't quite 'get' it. I was stunned. My hair is pretty short** and the color is that blech brown you get as your hair is turning gray. My hair routine consists of drying it with a towel and rubbing some shiny stuff in it, then trying to make it lay down so it doesn't look like I've been licked by goats. I was flattered, but puzzled. I do not exude a style that people generally want to emulate. I must've had a rockin' hair day. Too bad I missed it.
My doctor of 10 years is getting ready to retire from the military. I am upset. He's a nice guy, about my age, and I finally got him broken in to the point where he listens to me and takes me seriously. I have this sinking feeling that finding a boyfriend was easier than finding a new GP that I can get along with.

* I can't shake the sense that he's in love with the sound of his own voice. That annoys me. He sounds, I don't know, too precious. No, I can't explain it.
** Sometimes I think I look too butch since I don't wear makeup or earrings on a daily basis, but apparently I'm not butch enough to attract that kind of attention. Why does that bother me?
Yeah! I'd forgotten that, but he sure did, the prick.
