Me & McD, Part 4

A man had just fallen from a cliff right before my eyes and now I was standing over him.  He HAD to be in shock, but he was very calm as he told us all not to touch him.  He repeated it over and over.  Then he began assessing the damage.  He knew that he was badly broken, but he was an EMT and knew not to move until help got there.  I mean real help, not all of us standing over him.  He asked a lot of questions.  "Is my right leg broken?"  "Yes," we all said in unison.  "Is my left leg broken?"  "No, but your left ankle is," said one older lady.  He then asked about each of his hands and arms.  After all was said and done, he learned that he had a broken ankle, broken leg, and a broken arm.  It was probably the grossest thing I had ever seen.  After I realized that I really wasn't needed, I headed back to find the guys so they wouldn't start worrying about me. 

When McD and I started dating I still had the first car I ever owned.  I was driving a red 1984 Chevy Chevette, aka The Vette.  I hated that car, and I wanted something else desperately.  Selling it was my first priority.  I put an ad in the paper and within 2 weeks I had it sold.  A nice Hispanic family bought it.  We were both thrilled, me to get rid of that car and them to get a car. 

I had already been buying Auto Traders, and reading the classifieds.  Then I found it.  It was a gray 1990 Chevy Beretta.  I got the windows tinted and put new tires on it.  It was a bit more sporty than I was used to, and I had fun with it. 

McD surprised me one day with a puppy.  It was a yellow lab and we named him Gus.  I took that puppy whenever I could.  He would sit in the front passenger seat when it was just he and I, and when one of the kids were with me he would either ride in their lap or in the back seat.  He outgrew that car right away, but he loved riding in the Jeep with me and McD. 

That is about when I got my wild hair.  I saw the movie Ghost, and I wanted my hair to look just like Demi Moore's hair in that movie.  I didn't tell anyone my plans, I just went for it.  At the time my hair was really long.  When I wore it down it was down to my lower back.  It was there one minute and gone about 60 minutes later.  As soon as I got my hair cut the first place I went was to McD's office.

I'll bet that was a surprise! I have always had long hair. Down to my butt. Last week I had it cut to my shoulders (short). I don't really think my husband likes it.

If I shaved my head (like Britney Spears), I'm not sure my husband would notice.

So, what did he say ?

Just flew over to remind you about Karmyn's Baby Shower Friday.
