I get my hair trimmed about four times a year, I'd guess. Maybe one cut every two years is major.

Looks at calendar.

Hmm. I'm due. Last time I chopped it so short I thought I'd pass out, but it's already past my shoulders again. Maybe in the fall...

Mmm. My boss brought me a tiny little "candelina" and I'm burning it in my bedroom. Powerful little bigger- my whole house smells like black currant.

I skipped again, 'cause I suck. Hugs and ~ma all around.

I am home. Love my little home. I missed it. And my puppy dog. And Emily. And Bastet. But, I had a lovely time in Delaware. I have many stories to tell (as my cousin's sweetheart of a daughter would say). But for now, I just wanted to say hi. So, hi!

I got my hair cut shorter this weekend. I'll try posting some pictures later from home. I love short hair. So easy to take care of.

Were you at the beach?

I find I can't drive with a ponytail.

Totally. Especially in the summer. It's like having a 5-pound weight taken off my head.

If it's the weekend and I'm just running to the store or something and I haven't had a shower and therefore have crazy Oz bedhead, I just put a ballcap on.

If my hair is clean but being weird, I can generally wrestle it into submission with product of some sort.

And I look too young with a ponytail. I think I look (almost) my age with short hair. I envy women who look all sleek and classic with a ponytail. I just look like I should have pom-poms.

They were for turkey brine! Sweet. Always nice to get a memory back, no matter how trivial.

Damn. I was hoping you were going to realize you made bathtub gin and then blacked it all out.

See how ChiKat shares?

Try the stick shift next time.

Were you at the beach?

Nope. No beach this trip...not enough time. But, there was a fabulous Chinese festival and an amazing trip to Winterthur (where my cousin is a director of something, so she can get us into all the cool storage rooms on top of the floor tours). And there were darling, well-behaved children who stole my heart. I almost kidnapped M and brought her home. She was my new best friend all weekend long.

That's all I could think of that used juniper. And it certainly could cause memory loss.

That would be difficult with my automatic.
