next day's entry
Finally got to see our New Years firework display, only a week late =). Shawn, Lauren and I stood out there with about half of Fairbanks. All of us freezen our collective butts off. They billed it as the biggest firework display ever seen in Alaska. That would have been nice, however they had ALOT of technical difficulties. First it seemed like they couldn't get the thing started. One firework would go off  and then nothing would happen for another ten mins. This went on for awhile. Shawn and I kept getting out of the car to get a better view. But after the like third time we just desided to tilt the car seats back. Enjoy the show from our nice warm car.(wimps...lol) Anyways..........=)
When they finally got everything going it was really neat. Had stuff I had never seem before. Everybody oohhing and ahhhing and cheering loudy it was great. Then everything became a big loud blur. So many fireworks were going off you couldn't tell one from the next and then it was over. Later we found out at the wind had blew ambers onto the remaining fireworks causing the rest to all go off at once, bummer =(  But some how very fitting after all the Y2K hype. All the building anticipation, the furry of the day before the clock struck midnight and then nothing.
Speaking of the New Years and all. (To totally change the subject) I think Shawn's New Years resolution is to drive me nuts. =)The other day he calls me up at work and tells me he's done something he knows I'm not going to like. My first responce was "You've sold my car too" (hee-hee) not nice, I know. But he really hurt my feelings with the whole truck thing. After a bit of, "What have you done" I get out of him that he has cut his own hair.
Now he has been complaining about needing a hair cut for weeks. But whenever he goes to get it cut they always cut it to short for my taste. He comes back looking like he's just enlisted. Ok, not really =) but anyways. So the idea was that I'd try to cut his hair myself (impish little grin). If it turned out badly, heck, he'd just go and get it fixed. It would most likely end up just as short as it always does.
Poor Shawn must have been having a REALLY bad hair day. (or was just really scard of what I was going to do to him..........lol)  For he desides he can wait no longer and starts to cut his own hair. I guess everything just went down hill from there. And one bad idea leads to another. For as he says good-bye to me on the phone he tells me "Ko-jack will see you when you get home" AAAAArrrrggggh!!
All the way home I kept thinking to myself, "I can't be that bad". I mean how could he, he wouldn't, Right. But oh no, I walk in the front door and there's ol' Cue Ball. It's gone, all his beautiful thick hair, it's all gone. All I could do is laugh and ask why over and over again.
He has a little stubble up there now, but still......=P Eeesh.
Everytime I look at him I have to do a double take. Earlier, while making love, I looked down at him and busted out laughing. I was making love to Doctor Evil, anyway you look at that, it can't be good =)
Oh well in the end it will all grow back. It's just a good thing he owns alot of ball caps. For bald is not his look, I thank God Shawn realizes it too. On the bonus side of all this. Since he seems to be into experimenting with his hair and look. Perhaps I can have some fun with him. Maybe have him go blond or something crazy like that.=)
