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.

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

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!!!!

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.

Otter Lake is in the Adirondack Mountains. About an hour north of Utica.

We're near Oswego now, Laura, but I don't think it's far from there. Camp Buffista is a very foamy idea.

I love many of the Bedhead products

Few things make me happier than trying new product. I love Bedhead stuff, too.

Has anyone seen where my motivation went? I need to send off my resume, review a document, and call my doctor to make an appointment so we can figure out if there is anything that would help with the cramps that are waking me up out of a sound sleep every month. I have done none of these things. I want french fries, extra-strength prescription painkillers, and a nap. If I'm *really* lucky, I might get the fries.

Camp Buffista!!!!

You got it. If we can get high speed internet in by next summer I will stay there all summer. A mountain F2F in Otter Lake would be much fun.

A mountain F2F in Otter Lake would be much fun.

Oh my, yes.

Good luck with finding the motivation, Jilli. You've got such good carrots to make you do at least some of the stuff you have to do, I can't think of any other incentive to add.

My hair style is pretty much low maintenance. It gets wet, I towel dry throughly. Get dressed. Towel dry some more. Rub goop in my hair in a rather messy fashion from roots to ends (which isn't far), get some more and twist at the ends to make kinda spikes. Or skip the making spikes step.

Laura the camp sounds wonderful!!

I don't even towel-dry my hair. (It's awfully rough on my hair to do that to it.) So it's wash, pat with towel, look in mirror, grumble, throw in product, hope like hell it dries okay, go to work.
