Oh, I miss the days when I could just run the clipper over my head and be done with it. Sigh.

I can say with all assuredness that clippers will NEVER come near my hair.

That's the problem with short hair -- you have to constantly get it trimmed, which is annoying.

Don't think of it as a haircut. Think of it as an opportunity to have somebody else wash your hair on a more regular basis.

A buddy just gave me an exercise ball yesterday and my first thought was ABS!

Sumi, do you have a particular routine or resource you recommend?

Is there a word for cross-post, but when it happens in real life? Because my exercise ball just arrived today.

Well, I basically used the dvd that came with the ball. That is the extent of my knowledge.

I bought the exercise ball at Target and it came with a dvd.

Let me tell you, the exercises were difficult and also, silly. I'm really surprised that I did them well enough to be sore today.

The ball is one of these.

Free-Kee Coincidence, Stephanie.

I don't know Stephanie -- I guess it's an example of hive-mind!

Synchronicity. Or coincidence. Or spoooooooooky (oooOOOOooo!!!).

Yeah, my heart bleeds for you, buddy.

Eh. I mean, I like that part, but still. Eh. Annoying. (Though so is the hair that's in my eyes right now.)

Ohhhh yeah. My hairdresser in Cape Town (adorable gay Afrikaans boy named Abraham) gave the best head massages I have ever experienced. Mmmmm.

(In other news, it appears to be SNOWING here in Hartford. What the fucking fuck?)

Cereal (with banana): and now the sun is shining. Weird day.

We have cake today because it's our intern's last day (we are a cake-happy department), but she's not here yet, and I am impatient. Want cake now.

Thanks for the link sumi. There is a good link to a short article on the care and feeding of one's balance ball.

There is also a pretty hilarious photo showing how you can truss up your ball to turn it into a solo-flex. Can you say empire building?

My ball is just like yours (except blue) but sadly, I have the ball; I have no dvd.

Ima bet I run into it at a yard sale in the near future.

Stephanie, clearly we both have good intentions. Let's check in on our progress in about a month. Happy crunching to you!
