Where's that site that has the whole gallery of short haircuts you always link to? I'm getting a trim on Wednesday and am looking to go a little less modern and a little more classic (but still somewhat funky). I thought that site would be a good place to browse through.

I've got that bookmarked at work. I'll put some links up tomorrow. Must keep Kristin perfectly pretty in all particulars.

Good luck, Spidra. You surely deserve a livelihood commensurate with your many talents and wealth of knowledge. (For those of you who've never had the pleasure of her company, she's expert in most pre-WWII American musical genres. She knows how to blues blow! Which is uh, like blowing a raspberry musically. Think of the King Orang in the animated Jungle Book when he's playing his lips like a trumpet.)

At least there are plenty of librarians here to find library openings. Unfortunately, they don't tend to pay all that well. You sound like you would be perfect for some recent jobs here, but I guess that's not all that much help, huh.

I hope something works out for you soon, and I'm so glad you're taking care of yourself in the meantime. It's not the same from a distance, but big hugs {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Spidra}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Snuggles, ~ma, and lots of love all around.

MeMeMe news, two things to note:

1. I scored 100% on the signing test at work. Open book test, I actually used the book much less than I thought I would.

2. Harvey begged Daniel to let him snuggle with him all night. Not such a hot idea with Daniel's allergies, but Daniel is thinking about letting the cat sleep with him. It's so heart-breaking to have to deny such a snuggly request. Too bad Harvey took out his frustration at being turned down by beating up on Sammie. I had to give him a laundry-basket time-out, for a couple minutes. Then he went after her again, with more vigor. So then I gave him a longer time-out in the soft-sided pet carrier. After I let him out, Sammie climbed into it. And Harvey pounced on top. At the moment, Sammie is still in there.

Poor upset kitties...

There is a cat caterwauling outside right now and it is breaking my heart. Did the same thing last night. Has a collar on but no tag on it. I fear that it used to live here and it now desperate to come back. Or just would like to meet the girls that live here. I am a sucker for a kitty making sad noises.

Ah, Mssr. Hecubus, your estimation of my knowledge of pre-WWII flatters me. I'm just a dilettante and a fan.

Hug coupon redeemed and I'm better for it (if a bit unrequitedly horny...).

Cass, I always thought those disturbing cat yowls were from cats in heat. But I'm not really a cat expert...

Congrats on your test results, WindSparrow!

The cat just flung itself against my door.

It is going between my door and the other door on this (upper) landing and making the kind of howling noises I got from my cats when I first caged them and put them in the car. I am torn between very sad and very annoyed. Why put a collar on a cat and not put a tag on it? I want an owner to call.

Letterman just talked about Paul Dana. It was lovely.

That really was lovely. Thank you for letting me know. So sad when the racing community loses one of its own. Always sad.

VW! {tacklehug} Welcome back! And continued ~ma for improvement.

Um, wow, let's see if I can remember all the ~ma. MG's mom, and E. sj for new place (sounds lovely), and P-C for lease exiting. Spidra and KB and sj for jobs. Apply liberally. Repeat as necessary.

And ~ma to others what need it.

So...haircut advice? Could I do bangs/fringe/layers around my face? The last photos of me I linked to were me all swollen and puffy with allergies, but my face needs some definition anyway. And I find I'm mostly putting my hair in a ponytail or braids, and it would be nice to just wear it down.

I have otherwise had an extreme few days. Really good news on a couple fronts, but relationship tension and general moodiness. At least my back seems to be healed.

Thanks so much for more good wishes. It’s good to be home. It was even better to sleep in my own bed. And now I’m having wonderful coffee, which is just about the best thing ever. (No coffee in the spa…although, my parents snuck in a few frozen cappuccinos for me to keep me going).

Preggo already me (5 months): [link]

Awww…so pretty! And I love that picture of Casper watching the Pixar shorts. She looks so serious.

{{{MG and Mom}}} Yay for K-Bug passing her driving test! So exciting!

So, I skipped like 800 posts when I got home yesterday, and I don’t think I’m going to have time to get caught up. If anything important happened, please let me know. I see that sj and tea cup guy must have gotten an apartment. Yay!

hugs ADs tightly

This. So This.

Go, WindSparrow with the 100%! I knew you could do it.

RAQ!!!! So good to see you!

I have a busy day of doctors’ appointments. I thought I had left this part of my life behind, but it seems to be back. Oh, well. Must get me healthy so I can get back to the fun stuff.

I do have something important going on, but this is the first time I'm posting it here, so you didn't miss it.

The big news is that my temp to perm job officially goes permanent this coming Monday. Whee!!
