Kara doesn't *look* like Pure Concentrated Mayhem.

That's one of the things that makes her so dangerous.

They're cutting down the dead tree in my neighbor's back yard. They're doing from my back yard, without asking me. They're squishing my plants. They swear, "It's the only way to do it," and, to be fair, they may be right, because the neighbor built a dog pen right against the tree. On the other hand, the dead tree keeps dropping giant limbs in my yard, so it will be a good thing for me to have it gone. They're also not wearing hardhats, eye protection or gloves, which makes me kind of twitchy. It's just two guys, two chainsaws and a lot of rope.

I am not. happy.

Also, I want Cashmere's hair.

She's a babe. Also, holding a babe, but that's the other kind.

As cute as Big O. is, I don't want his hair.

Hmmm. Am getting my yeti-hair cut Monday. Maybe I'll take a gazillion pictures of Cash on Friday and show them to my stylist. Though the same haircut won't make me look like Cashmere, anyway, which is Bah.

Buffistas make the cutest babies!!!

Thanks. I think they're pretty cute too. It was a great visit. I'm loving having Perkins around, and it was so nice to see Cashmere and Owen again.

Make sure they do all the clean up, Ginger, and note any damage to your plants and tell them they'll need to be replaced.

Wait. Is it the city doing the damage or someone hired by the neighbors?

If it was the city, they'd have safety equipment, I'd think.

I just got a very short haircut. The curly part from chemo was growing out and my hair was sticking in all directions. I think it's really too short (Yes, David, there is such a thing), but once the curl finishes growing out and I have my normal stubborn, mostly straight, hair back, I can figure out what I want.

I'm going to my mom's stylist on Saturday, because I kind of hate the woman i've been going to -- she keeps giving me these ugly layers -- and have a complex about looking for a new hairdresser.

Menstrual TMI:

How weird are really long cycles? I had a period around Christmas, and then nothing until Feb. 9, and nothing since. I'm starting to think my body is posessed, because I was pretty regular until December. And I'm not pregnant, and I haven't gained or lost much weight.

It's someone hired by the neighbors. The problem is, I'm bad at confrontation. I just went out and told them to lay off the plants, under the theory that they might do better if they know someone is watching.

We went to the zoo! (yes, I know Deena beat me too it, but still, ZOO.)

I got to meet Cashmere, and Owen, and spend more time with Deena and Aidan and Kara, and you should all be very jealous.
