I'm having food fail tonight. First I get this fresh shrimp spring roll from Trader Joe's and it has a 6" long dark hair in it. That ain't my hair. I'm still a little skeeved by that one. Then I'm heating up some chicken tempura, also from Trader Joe's and as I'm taking it out of the oven, it starts to slide off the pan and some of it falls onto the bottom of the oven. The bottom of my oven needs to be cleaned. Desperately. I ate it anyway. Hunger does that to me. But I did not eat that spring roll! Sure I've pulled the odd cat hair out of a plate of food (pulled a few out of my nose too - how does this happen?) but a 6" dark hair? I say no sir!

Does anyone out there in Internet Land take Singulair? My doctor just prescribed it for me and some of the possible side effects are scary! So far it just makes me feel kind of draggy the next day. I'm kind of liking the lack of crud in my throat in the morning though.

Mary Tyler Moore is going to be on Hot in Cleveland with Betty White. That's almost as awesome as the Sound of Music reunion show on Oprah. Btw, I DVR'd this but still haven't watched it. Don't tell me how it ends. Speaking of The Sound of Music, when I was a kid, I would never watch any show that seemed "wimpy" to me. Don't ask me to explain myself because I was obviously a bit misguided. And what makes this more puzzling? I loved, loved, loved "My Fair Lady". Of course that was mostly because I crushed on Rex Harrison but that's beside the point. Anyway, "The Sound of Music" used to always run on Thanksgiving (or that weekend) and we'd be at my aunt's house and I'd refuse to watch it. One Thanksgiving, they made me watch it and yes, I was hooked immediately. To the point where I could never ever miss it. I even made my mom speed home once (my aunt and cousins lived an hour away) so we could be home in time to watch it. I still refused to watch "Little House on the Prairie" though.

I must admit that I have never had dog hair in my nose, but I've had it in my food. The difference is, as with your cat hair, it's my dogs, therefore it's hair I'm related to. That's not as bad as unidentified hair as found in your Spring Roll. Yuck!

I also love My Fair Lady and I'm banned to the bedroom to watch Sound of Music, because I have to watch it every time it is on. I love, love that movie. Christopher Plummer...Yum!

I think it's because cat hairs are so fine that they can get anywhere. When you say you have a cat hair up your nose to a cat owner, they usually just nod their head in understanding. And cat hair in my food doesn't bother me either for the same reason you mention. I guess it might bother others though.

If that hair in the spring roll had been blonde, I might have convinced myself that it was mine. But no way I was going to buy coarse and dark. Blech.
