red headed stranger wigs & pear chutney
setting: last night 11:30 p.m. Trying to go to sleep.
me: sigh
the husband: What is it Bear?
me: ponytails.
the husband: What?
me: Willie Nelson’s ponytails.
the husband: what?
me: Do you think they saved his ponytails when he cut them off? I mean they should be bronzed and hung in a museum. Ooh, or do you think he gave them to Locks Of Love and now some little boy or girl going through chemo is walking around with a Red Headed Stranger’s wig? That would be awesome.
the husband: (in a wryly tone) uh hu…
me: Do you think Almost Willie cut his hair too? Is he still alive? I saw him at a dance hall when I lived in Ft. Worth. He totally plays up the “I look like Willie” card. I went on a date with a bull rider once. He couldn’t dance to save his life but neither could I so it didn’t matter.
the husband: really…
me: mmm pancakes. When was the last time you had pancakes at 3am?
the husband: Actually, I was playing a gig in Fort Worth and I went to….COMPLETELY INTERUPTING me: That was a good documentary on Chicano music in East LA that we saw tonight but there is something off about a middle-aged woman playing punk. All power to her but all I could see was my mom. Wait a minute I’m almost middle aged. This isn’t right.
the husband: is that all?
me: Do you think a pear chutney would go well with goat cheese biscuits?
the husband: Seriously, It must be interesting to live in your head.
me: Yeah, It’s a fun place.

If I let him finish that’s probably what he would say. Who am I kidding of course that’s what he’d say! Where else do cowboys, night shifters, drunks, frat boys and musicians hang out at 3 am? Ol’ South lovers raiser your arms and say HEY! I’m such a dork

Lol my husband says the same thing about my head. I think it’s mostly because I start conversations about something completely random as if we’ve already been talking about that topic for at least 10 minutes. Following brain jumps is fun!
And I LOVE the idea of some kid getting a Red Headed Stranger wig. I was very sad to hear he had cut it off.
