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.
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.

She's a librarian AND a lawyer. And by night, she fights crime.
Yay thomash! Yay good interviews!
Hil, your haircut sounds very nice.
I have an odd question for the Bitch hivemind: I need suggestions for single-note scents (they don't have to be floral) that smell pink. Scents that, when you catch a whiff of them, make you think of the color pale pink.
Most rose scents overpower the other things my friend is mixing. (She's decided she is going to make the perfect
really expensive pink chocolate truffle Fairie with pointy shoes
perfume for me.)
