Just Call Me Spike

And so this morning I asked my wannabe chia-boy that it was time to go get him a haircut. He has been getting his hair buzzed since he was little but now he wants to try something different. Isn't it funny how eventually they do develop a brain and thus their own ideas come out. So off we went to the barber shop.



















Here's my indio on the before pictures.

"So, how do you want me to cut it?" asked the guy. After I explained what I wanted the guy went to work and I think overall he did pretty good. At first I was hesitant because the last time I was there this same guy did my hair and I was not too happy with the outcome. But I kept checking on him and I saw he did take his time and actually didn't do too bad. In the end I was happy.

Well if the smile is any indication I would say he did like his haircut.
So the lady manager asks me if Diego is my son. Oh not he is my grandson, one of seven, she just opened her eyes as if she thought I was kiddin'. Ummm I take that as a compliment. She asked Diego if he liked his haircut and he said yes. Good answer mijo you just scored a lolly pop and some of that color jell that will make your hair look like you are a porcupine.

I was going to take some candid camera photos as I spotted him playing with the puppies but he spotted me first and of course came to the window. I still snapped a couple shots.

A pit stop to eat at Wendy's and our morning outing was done. We always have such good fun when we are out painting the town. Diego may only be six years old but he acts way older than his age and it's easy to treat him as if he was an older kid, but yet he does make sure to let you know he is a kid. He is a very smart kid indeed. Either that or he is playing me real good and I'm a sucker. ---- Ummm, naw!

And here he is playing with his and his sister's puppies.
Yes Wanda, hard to believe but at least temporarily there are puppies in my house. lol

Tidbit Time

Let me see if I can come up with some tidbits. For starters let me tell you that our weather here in the valley of the sun is reaching 110 degrees. We had a nice break in our weather the first three weeks of June but we are paying it now. And yet last Saturday I washed the car and drove it topless to one of our car club functions. My motto is adjust and overcome, contrary to popular belief, life doesn't stop because it gets a little hot. Our swimming pool is seeing a lot of action and doing an excellent job at keeping us cool, particularly the kids, they live for swimming.

As my sister in law stated in a comment to a post I had on Facebook. "Whatever it takes". This came up when mi chica asked me if I could drive her to her hair stylist on Sunday. "Sure, I can" was my reply when she asked on Saturday afternoon. So, Sunday morning at 6:45am mi chica wakes me up, "Come on baby, it's time to go", huh! what? where? "My hair appointment, remember I asked you" my appointment is at 7:00am. Seven in the morning on a Sunday? What women will do in the name of beauty. Well, she is worth it so off we went.

Looking forward to the three day weekend. R&R and laying by the swimming pool is a major part of the agenda, I am sure babysitting the grand kids will be included in the deal but that's OK. I avoid crowds and specially on 110 degree days so going out to catch any fireworks is totally out. No, no, no, that is just not for me. I am sure the kids are all going out although I haven't heard if Avondale or Goodyear cancelled the fireworks show like many cities are doing to save money, after all their budgets are pretty tight.

Arrrg!, I just realized that like a dummy I left my lunch at home. Green chicken enchiladas with Spanish rice. What a fool. Now I'll be thinking about food and actually I am already hungry. Now the tug of war of what to eat begins, of all the fast food places around my work nothing sounds appetizing. What to eat, what to eat? I am open to suggestions, anybody wants to express me a meal you may do so, specially if it's home cooked.
