She didn't, Cindy, people saw her in person. Weird, huh?

Oh yeah, that's right, -t. Some of you people get together with some of you other people. I never remember all my imaginary people are allowed outside of my head.

I'm going short, Hec, like short *cap* of hair. Maybe tomorrow. I have to get to the mall, and entrust my head to a complete stranger, but I'm doing it. I'm thinking longer than the picture you liked for Perkins, but not by much. I still love this cut but I'm not sure it will work with my hair, which is pretty fine. Also, I don't want to have to do much to it, and I think this one would require blow-drying.

I think it might, if you have lots of layers, possibly more than are in the picture. It might give you more body, because it would be lightened up.

When I updated AIM a couple of months ago, it put on this freaking AOL Search bullshit that I can't get rid of and now can't get into my Intranet becuse AOL Search doesn't recognize fraking intranets!!!!

One word. GAIM. AOL is the devil incarnate. I ended up getting rid of my old computer that my niece had downloaded AIM onto. Could. not. get. it. off. Of course, the computer was old and never was any good, so those may have factored into the replacement decision a teensy bit.

So, I may have missed it with all my skipping and skimming, but has anyone out there used Judy's Book? It's pretty much only good in urban areas, I think, but it seems pretty clever. It was just reviewed on SearchDay today.

ION: I'm so glad I'm not the only one who couldn't find the wonderful pictures everyone is talking about. There will be some viewage this evening when I get home!

I've started lusting after hair products now that my hair is short.

My current fave is Bedhead Manipulator. I love many of the Bedhead products but I have a limited budget so I tend to stick with the higher end drug store stuff. I have this blue goopy stuff from L'Oreal (I think) and it makes a nice wet look. And Spiker which is a great product by Got2Be, which isn't an expensive line at all but I love the product. It's like really sticky, tacky glue and makes fantastic spikes.

Today I have the blue goopy stuff AND Manipulator. The blue stuff makes an nice base to work off of and the Manipulater makes nice spikes.

You bought a camp, Laura? Where abouts? What's it like?

Yep. The camp next door to my mother had a For Sale by owner sign so we bought it. This was not a planned purchase, but the price was too good to resist. Now we own 6 lots on the main road in Otter Lake NY, including the 4 my mother has.

Otter Lake is in the Adirondack Mountains. About an hour north of Utica. The camp itself looks like crap on the outside, but they have redone all the important stuff. New electric, plumbing, roof, etc. New kitchen cabinets. It has a large front porch, big living room with great fireplace, and large kitchen. Upstairs it has 3 bedrooms outfitted for hunters or snowmobilers, 10 single beds.

I am in nesting heaven. I have 3 places to decorate now. We have new office space we rented that is all empty and waiting, then I have the new space at home since we are moving the office out, and now a big camp to decorate. I'm all giddy and stuff.

Now I just have to work really hard at paying for all this stuff.

I'm organizing my pictures of the trip, including the camp.

I picked the wrong day to stop smoking glue, sniffing cigarettes and taking amphetamines!!!!!

Hee. The kids watched Airplane on the trip back in the van. Never tire of that stuff.

Camp Buffista!!!!

Heh. Now that my hair is short, I'm irritated that I can't get away with skipping product. I'm all about the no-maintenance look.

You two need to get together and sort this out. There may be a slumber party and a cat fight too in my scenario.

Okay, only had to talk to two people so far and it's almost 11:30. Then...lunch. My plan is working!

Welcome back, Laura! I missed you. But I'm glad you have a camp to play with. I recommend a tiki theme.

This sounds wonderful, Laura. Congratulations on your purchase!

No! No sorting out! She can have all the product, and I'll deal with floppy hair.

AOL is the devil. I use Trillian for my AIM stuff. [link] Trillian is lovely.

When my hair is really short, I don't know that the product I would use (not too stiff, nor too sticky) make much of a difference, but I use it by gum, because it's my last connection to my femininity, other than my poor, overused denim skirt and two dresses. I seldom wear make-up and wear heels even less often. My nails are a disgrace, and I never get anything waxed besides my eyebrows, and only when they move over into Dukakis territory.
