1-21-15 The Secret to Hair Growth



Evidently, if you want your hair to grow back all you need to do is write a parody of a song about how your hair is not growing back! I looked really closely in the mirror this weekend and there they were...little stubs of hairs that you could only see if you got really close to the mirror, had the light just so, tilted your head just so... Really, they are there! I am happy. So I had to write another song.

"I Can See Clearly Now"
by Jimmy Ciff
(terrible parody by Kitt Watley!)

I can see clearly now, it’s coming back
Stubble is growing in and it’s mostly gray.
Gone is the shiny dome that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.

(ooh...) Look in the light…and tilt your head just so
Squint up your eyes, and then you can watch it grow…

I can hardly wait to use my curling iron.
Get my hair trimmed up—and I will gladly pay.
Soon I will look just like ol’ Cousin “It.”
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's going to be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Yeah, hey, it's gonna be a bright (bright) 
bright (bright) sunshiny day.

I have been really tired this past week. I was pondering this and have an explanation. Before Christmas I was still recuperating from surgery, so took everything slow and easy. Then there was Christmas and Loy was home and we both sort of chilled. Last week Loy was back to work and I resumed my old normal life...Bible study, walking, exercise class, work around home, etcetera. While none of these things is too much for me, I've come to the conclusion that, right now, ALL of them together is too much. So today I dubbed my day to recover. I'm in sweats and not planning on even stepping one little pinky outside. I may go read a book. Or take a nap. Or both!! 

Next week Loy and I get to babysit Payton and Carter for 24 hours while Grant and Angela have a little time away. Payton already has an itinerary planned...donuts, playing trains, building with blocks. Grammy and Gramps are excited! We've never gotten to do this before!! YAY!!

I'd better go...my couch is calling!! And this time I don't mind in the least!!!    :)

Love,

Kitt.

1-17-14 Creatively Speaking...


Snowflakes Keep Fallin’ on My Bald Head
(This picture is what it feels like in the winter with no hair!!)
(Parody of Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head
BJ Thomas, Lyle Lovett (I did not know Lyle Lovett did that song.)
I am SO SORRY to ruin this song for everyone!!)  J

Nothing is growing on my head.
Hopin’ and praying that my follicles aren’t dead!
Checkin’ every day…
Snowflakes keep fallin’ on my bald head
They keep fallin'

So I just did me some checking on the web
Googled if baldness ever stayed on a celeb
Especially a girl, oh,
Snowflakes keep fallin’ on my bald head
They keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me
It won't be long till sprouts of hair step up to greet me.

When hair starts growin’ on my head
The question—will it be white or brown or really red?        
Straight or lots of curls?
Guess it won’t matter ‘cuz there’s chemicals to treat it…

I'm cancer free, nothing's worryin' me.

It won't be long till curling irons step up to greet me

Bald heads are really very cold.
But that doesn't mean that I am getting very old
Still feel like a kid, oh…
This song will surely sprout my hair just by singin’.


So sing with me…nothin's’ worrying me…
