Who was that Masked Man?

Yesterday Danielle asked me to ship some Christmas packages at the Post Office and take Jacob for a haircut while Olivia was in school, and to do something fun with him after, because he acted like a haircut chair was the electric chair. All morning he was a terror trying to get him ready. I don't want to get dressed, I don't want to brush my teeth, I don't want a haircut, blah mahhh whaaaa! So we dropped Olivia off and went to the Post Office. A guy held the door which was nice. There was a significant line, but it moved very fast! I was surprised. Jacob was well behaved. Then we went to get his haircut. Dun Dun DUN.

I took him to the place right around the corner from the house where we went last time. I don't remember if I told the story of the first time we went there. If I did, here it is again, and if i didn't, here it is. We got there and I don't know what time it was but the sign said CLOSED. So we just sat in the car, or I just sat there and he was bouncing off the walls. I had unbuckled him so he was climbing everywhere. We had probably gotten there at half past something, so I figured that they would open at the top of the hour. When they still weren't open I took Jacob and we went up, I read the hours, and we went in. Here they had just forgotten to switch the sign. Pfft.

So I took him in this time and the hairdresser who did him last time was like, "OH did you come back to see me!?" Jacob had no problem with getting a haircut last time but this time he was having none of it. He went and sat on one of the sofas in the waiting area and he said, "I'll sit here." And I said that he had to sit in...and I couldn't think what I wanted to say. I was gonna say the haircut chair or something but that sounded dumb and so I just kind of trailed off, and she prompted me, "Patricia." So I was like, "You have to sit in Ms. Patricia's chair." Haha. She told him that she had a sucker for him, and asked him if he wanted it first instead of at the end? So the lollipop lured him from the couch to the chair. She said that they had to make it a game, that when she was cutting his hair he had to keep it in his mouth so that it wouldn't get hair on it. That was so smart. Kudos to Ms. Patricia. When I went with Danielle to get Olivia's cut they gave her a lollipop and it got hair allllll over it.

I realized while I was reading a magazine waiting for Jacob, that I was reading the same one I had read the last time. The issue of Life & Style from the week of May 25. Haha. It was old news the first time I read it. Now it was even older, not just because it happened so long ago, but because I had already read it. Aye yigh yigh.

Last night I went out on a date. He was kinda conceited but I guess he had the right to be, he was devastatingly handsome. We went to Sweet Peppers Deli for dinner and then to the movies to see New Moon. He made me go dutch, what a jerk! And he was checking out other guys all night. He didn't say two words to me the whole night. Over all, not a bad date. I'm seeing him again today! Haha. Who was that masked man? It was me, I went out by myself. Haha. I had to pay for myself and I wasn't talking to myself obviously. And I was checking people out. Hahaha.

The movie was good, but I was almost more interested in the previews. Not the previews for the movie but the previews before the movie. They played that Coca-Cola ad that I love with the guy going through the party singing about all the people that are there. "My (so and so), my allergist, and the first girl I ever kissed--you're beautiful, I love you.--..." That part is my favorite! If you haven't seen that try to find it online, I love that ad, haha. There are all these obscure random people, your allergist? Haha, why? That wasn't one of the things that distracted from the feature presentation, it was good though. So Letters to Juliet looks like a goodie, I will probably want to see that, but the real show stopper that I MUST MUST SEE at least once in theatres is NINE. It looks so good! With that ensemble cast how can it not be? Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Sophia Loren and most importantly FERGIE! I had seen a preview of the movie on television but it was muted and I only saw flashes of Nicole and some of the other actresses, I was definitely interested in seeing it, but now I have to! I didn't know Fergie was in it. How exciting! I love her. I love all the others too but Fergie is the best! It made me disappointed when New Moon started because I was all hyped for other movies that I saw trailers for and then I was like, Oh right, I'm just seeing this old thing. Boo. I don't know when NINE is coming out, I saw a poster that said December 2009, and the trailer just said this Holiday Season. So it is coming out very soon I gather but isn't out yet.

Incase there is any confusion, Fergie of Black Eyed Peas fame, not Sarah, Duchess of York.

So I'll be back later to update you on today's events. Ta-ta!
