Aimee, it doesn't look that much shorter than when I saw you in SF last month. It wasn't actually long, then.

I was going to mention that all my kids did when they were three (okay, one was 2-and-a-half and one was 3-and-a-half--split the difference) was do a Mission Impossible climb over the baby gate, made possible by using a step-stool and then lifting the step-stool over the gate so they could use it to climb up on the kitchen counter, and then lift it up onto the counter to reach the tippy-top shelf of the tippy-top cabinet where the baby aspirin were stored, and sharing the bottle between them.

When K-Bug's boyfriend was a wee toddler, he would climb out of his crib, get out back, climb the back fence, go through the dog door of the house next door, grab something out of their fridge and watch their tv. Supposidly this happened even with measures in place to keep him from getting through various doors.

I think his older bothers were helping him in order to get rid of him. He has evil twin older brothers.

I had about 7 inches chopped. It's all cropped and short and nape-arific in the back.

Finally got ahold of independent study professor. Going to start using a new e-mail address to get ahold of him. Hopefully this will work. He says he'll look at the stuff tonight.

So, maybe the survey can still go live tomorrow.

It sounds adorable, Aimee. I miss having short short hair, especially in back. Of course with winter coming I miss having hair long enough to flip back over my shoulder, too. I'm in that bad mid-length place, and can't decide whether to cut or keep growing.

Mid-length sucks. That's why I finally cut mine. It was more aggravating than anything.

Beverly, I thought your hair *was* short?

VW, insent with my findings.

Gud, I'm sorry.

Gronk. Think I'm going to have to break down and make coffee. Lillian got spooked by something in her sleep and was up being clingy and crying at 2am, and I have to function enough to bake a cake for my mother's birthday.

Aimee - that was my big frustration too - being inbetween lengths. I'd love to go as short as yours, but DH would have a fit. Even the length I have no is "too short" for him.

I don't get guys and hair-length obsession (Hec, I don't really include you in that damning statement, and I'll explain why). Most guys who are hair-length obsessed are into long hair, and it's almost creepy, really, because it doesn't matter if the long hair looks good *on that particular woman* -- they stubbornly cling to the long-hair fetish. It's like they don't even consider the woman underneath the hair -- it's the hair itself that matters to them. Which is what's creepy. What's more important, the woman, or the hair? I say: men, if long hair is that important to you, get a fucking wig.

If the long hair looks good, then booyah. Great. But if a shorter cut is more flattering -- don't you want your wife/gf/concubine to look as pretty as possible, overall?

And the same holds true for the short-hair-obsessed (of whom I actually know more than one, believe it or not). However, despite Hec's avowed love of the clippers, he generally seems to get that generic short hair doesn't look good on every woman. It has to be the *right* style, you know? Sometimes that's longer, and sometimes that's shorter.
