Not as bad as I was in high school, though. I'd get purple and gold rubber bands put on my braces each week. I was pathetic.

I used to have them changed to whatever color matched the season.

Cashmere, I love your hair. I hope your whole family is feeling better soon.

My hairdresser completely forgot about me today, so I had to wait around for an hour while someone at the salon tried to find her and get her to the salon. I am not thrilled with the cut, but the color came out great this time. There is a picture here. I look a mess because of packing all day, but I couldn't resist playing with the digital camera.

There's a show on Discovery where they show how things are made. They're showing how they make artificial eyes. This involves taking molds of the empty socket. This involves showing the empty socket on somebody's face and the doctor making the mold.

I managed not to cover my face. I feel very brave.

sj is VERY pretty!!! And has nice hair too.

You can REALLY see the red in fluorescent lighting.

Muy caliente! I've never noticed before but in some of those shots your look like NurseJen.

Pretty color, sj.

Aimee, I think a razored bob would look fab on you.

Also [attention meara], there's a chick who looks just like Clea Duvall.

Ooh! On your bus? Hot! Kidnap her for me and put her in a box and send it to me, eh? :)

Nagging emails and phone calls have been sent.

CJ just got dive bombed by 5 ducks.

Cashmere and sj very pretty with the shiny pretty new hair color.

Going to get some sleep. Didn't sleep well last night. Bobby is having minor surgery stuff tomorrow. He has a bald spot on his scalp, about quarter size. We decided long ago to have it removed when he was old enough to do it without knocking him out. If the plastic surgeon gives him good drugs I'm totally stealing them.

Gotta stop stuffing the pockets with duck food I say.
