I also replace your cats with nearly identical cats.

That would explain it then.

Yay, ThomasH.

Sean, nearlyidentical?

I have a friend who wants to go back to school in library science. I know we have a few in here. Are there any who might be willing to give her (through me) their email addresses so she can get some answers/advice?

You may also give her my email, Heather. Since Lee and I went to the same library school, it might get repetitive. It might depend on what she wants to do. Lee is in the private sector, and I work at a university.

Sean, nearly identical?

Yep. There subtle, but important differences, which I can't say what they are because then Lee would just know, and that takes away all the fun.

I got my hair cut. About a foot of hair is gone.

I like it. It's about chin-length in the front, and angled down so the sides are just short of brushing my shoulders. (Well, it's a bit past shoulder-length when it's wet.) And the stylist completely knew how to work with curls, so this isn't just one of those "cut it as if it were straight" or "cut it as if I'm going to be straightening it every morning" cuts, it actually works with the curls, and does it well -- it's layered so the hair doesn't pile up, and there are a few shorter curls falling into my face (but not into my eyes -- I have no idea how that works, but it does), and if I shake my head around, it all falls back into place. (And yes, I was shaking my head all through my afternoon class. This is why I waited until after exams to get it cut -- I know I can't resist playing with my hair for a couple days after I get it cut.)

I think this is the first time I've ever been this happy with a haircut. And it was free, though I'm definitely going back to this stylist and her usual $60 prices next time I need it cut.

Sounds lovely, Hil.

How lucky for you to find a stylist who can wrangle curls. They're in short supply.

Want pictures!

My digital camera and my computer aren't cooperating with each other, and there's no one around to take a picture anyway. I might be able to figure something out to get pictures online by this weekend.

thomash, yay for the good interview!

Lee, you're a librarian? Are you also a lawyer (or do you work for a law firm), or have I had you in the wrong geek pile all this time?

Sounds great, Hil. I still need to get my hair cut. My hair, sensing this, hasn't looked better in two months.

Great news, ThomasH!

Indeed. I'm glad my daughter finally embraced her curls because she's one of the few people who know how to cut my hair, now. Doesn't hurt she doesn't charge me anything, either!

Dad's procedure went well. He's having no pain from the surgery so far, but the doctor gave him a prescription for Vicodan anyway. My brother is driving him home and back to the doctor tomorrow to get the eye patch removed. I'm so glad Dad finally got this cataract fixed. He's a bad enough driver as it is; knowing his vision was getting pretty fuzzy was freaking me out.
