Is that an invitation to have wine-crazed Buffistas descend on you?

I'm not "invitation" is the right word.

Good hair luck, Nicole.

Nicole has a new tag.

Also, P-C referenced my favorite COMM that I personally witnessed! Hee!

Uh...I did? What? Where? Who? When? Why? How?

Oh, wait, you mean the broads thing.

I do. I laughed for a long long time when Deb first said that.

What food is best for soaking up booze in your tummy?

Nothing really soaks up the booze, but foods that are high in fat stay in the stomach longer and slow down digestion (if you've ever felt like a donut stayed in your stomach for hours, it did, and that's why). The slower your body digests the booze, the more time it allows your liver to detoxifiy the alcohol. So if you want to help sober someone up or prep yourself for some marathon drinking, eat stuff that's high in fat.

Now I want a donut.

Good hair luck, Nicole.

Thank you, Lee! Orange roots did not occur. My hair is purty. Life is good.

Oooh. I would like a donut. Alas, I have none.

I did have artichoke-heart tortellini with marinara and grated parmesan, and an english muffin with butter. I should be fine.

And now I have to dry my hair, get dressed, and head out the door.

First time I had my hair bleached (ah, youth - good lord, was it FIFTEEN YEARS AGO?! Gah.) it was very long - mid back - and the same color (most of) it is now, a darkish red with some reddishness (not radishness) in it when it's sun-bleached.

I went to a hair salon run by a friend (fags, y'know - thick as thieves, and all about hair) and he spent THREE HOURS bleaching it. After the first HOUR under the chemicals, my hair was Tweety-bird yellow/orange. By the end of the third, my hair was white - like paper, or dead skin - and I had 2nd degree chemical burns on my scalp (didn't hurt...yet)...and I smelled like a swimming pool.

That smell took over a week to fade, and every time I showered it sprang back up.

Oh, what a disaster. Never had it professionally done again, and never had a problem in the next decade of hair colors.

I saw the "could be orange roots" message earlier and got all nostalgia/shocky. I'm pleased to see no orange roots. Yay intended colors!

(I'll talk about magenta, fuschia, and Smurf(TM) Blue hair later. sigh)

I want to see StuntHusband's hair. Also, welcome! I don't think I said 'hi' properly when you first appeared.

ION, I am actually cooking for the first time in what seems like forever. With all the house stuff going on, I've been having a lot of take-out food, prepared meals, frozen meals, salad-in-a-bag, etc. along with minimum prep things like tuna or eggs.

Tonight, I'm making pasta sauce w/ sweet Italian sausage. I've also got a big pot o' chili simmering away. Tomorrow, I make chicken stew and Scotch broth. Yum.

By the way, if any Bitches are going to be in the vicinity (Baltimore) on the 27th, I'm going to be having Easter dinner. Let me know if you'd like to join the party.

"Say what you will about Judas but he had his good points. If it wasn't for him, the whole show wouldn't have gotten underway in the first place." What? Easter...Baltimore, seemed like a natural fit.
