deleted scenes

the previous post

was pretty loaded with the good things that happened last week

wonderful blessings that were much fun to celebrate

but in an effort to keep it real

i figured i'd share some of the events

deleted scenes, if you will

that didn't make the cut

for the original post

remember in Steel Magnolias, when Sally Field realizes her hair looks horrid?

& i quote
M'Lynn as she's looking at herself in Truvy's compact mirror

"Oh my God Shelby was right,

my hair does look like a brown football helmet!" & then continues to sob

well that was the same moment for me

when after eating my birthday breakfast with my girlfriend

who i finally had my photo taken with

all in honor of blog post, mind you

( the photo that is)

i realized my hair looked awful

AWFUL
heather? why didn't you tell me? oh dear friend o' mine!

nothing like realizing you actually look worse than you originally thought

so the perfect birthday continues to roll on...

while on the phone chatting with my bestie kristin

& backing out of my driveway

i hear a thud

i'll be dadblasted

i ran over a squirrel!!!!!

& as if that weren't enough

i realized that it wasn't completely dead

oh my word!!!

so i did what any of you would have done

i closed my eyes

& ran over it again!

eeekkkkkkkk

i killed an friggin animal

ON MY BIRTHDAY

for pete's sake

what kinda luck is that?

kristin mind you
is cracking up
cracking up!




so i tell her
maybe i should call & see if dan can come home & move it
i mean
i can't have that poor
albeit
squished squirrel
looking at me
all day on my birthday
right?

glory be
i came home from my little errand
& squirrely
was gone!!

i dont' know how or why
but thank goodness

well the highlight of my glorious birthday week

was getting pulled over by a cop

for speeding

"i had to get to kickboxing, mr policeman

especially after seeing that dreadful birthday breakfast photo of myself "

of course i was an easy target

being that everyone else in Atlanta

was enjoying a perfect spring break on the Gulf Coast!!

thankyouverymuch

oh wait, there's more
we head over to one of my favorite homes in the city
for a photoshoot
only to have my rockin zoom lens
freeze up
& begin what i assume is the beginning of a slow death

sigh


&
the AMAZING Good Friday concert we attended...
well
little bit felt horrible the majority of the evening
with one of her migraines
& spent the majority of the evening feeling completely miserable


for all my facebook friends that remember
the flooded kitchen from a few weeks ago
well
the fridge
is still leaking
fantastic


but
lets end on a up swing

please tell me you saw that tender embrace
when Phil Mickelson won the Masters
&
then went on to find his wife Amy
who's been battling breast cancer
in the crowd
having been to sick to attend
earlier in the week




i sat there all choked up watching this man
who clearly loves his wife
win the Masters

i love to see the good guy win


ummmmm......
not ....the other guy









so

in the famous words of hannah montana

"everybody has those days"

hope you enjoyed mine!

oh & ps....if any of you are thinking of turning me into the PETA folks....please know part one was all an accident, part two was all about putting the poor guy out of his misery....i do apologize mr. squirrel, but if you'd make up your mind which side of the street you plan to stay on, we wouldn't have had such an unfortunate series of events...
