Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I love my caller ID. LOVE.

Plei - thank you for all of the hair advice and online assistance! I no longer have three-tone (or even two-tone) hair. It's all one color of brown!

Yay! What did you end up putting in it, and how did it turn out?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Any localistas want to go to the A's/Bluejays game Friday night? I have three tickets...row 3 behind the bullpen.

Sigh. Would if I weren't working.

ION, HELLA cranky with everyone except y'all. Grrrrrrr. Hello, new and fun hot!buttons.

Compassionately intolerant

My caller ID is my bff. Meaty friends may come and go, but avoidance is my friend for ever.

I also redid my hair this weekend. I'd let the henna fade so the grey could run wild. It's not bad, and I don't have a 'it makes me look so oooold' issue, but I just like the fact that I can slap on $6 worth of clay and, a couple of hours later, I have highlights!

This time, I added coffee and vinegar. Interesting effect. Deeper red highlights than the usual gold.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why do you people all answer your phone so much?

Because it rings. That's why I have one.

But I do get very few telemarketing calls, so when the land line goes off, it's probably either of my best friends or my parents.

The status is NOT quo.

I t heart "weasel telemarketing". It's my new favorite phrase.

Speaking of hair, ND's is now partially blue. He's so punky!

I'm getting the pig!

After I rinsed the Colorfix, it was a *very* pretty strawberry blonde shade... very pretty on someone else, that is. I tried the light ash brown color after a night of deep conditioning but I got a tad anxious about leaving the color on too long and rinsed too soon. I guess. It was really light and I didn't hit the roots well enough, either. BUT - on Sunday morning, after more conditioning, I added a cool medium brown shade and now it's an all over medium brown. Perfect!

This may be the closest I've ever been to the color of hair I had back before I first started coloring it.

I should be doing homework. I don't wanna! I just don't care about the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis, the alpha, the beta. Can it be August 10 now, please?

I got new nephew photos. He is friggin' adorable. I'm going to see him and my niece in August! Can't wait for baby hugs!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

OK, since people are talking about coloring their hair. I'm thinking I should start coloring mine - there's a LOT of white in it and I've started looking for another job ... and I think that white will emphasize my age. So ... I'd have it done professionally - the guy who's been cutting my hair for years does color - but I'm nervous about it. How often do you have to color the roots? my hair grows FAST.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have to say, Toddson, that I love your hair the way it is. It is very striking and very...how you say? Chic. It complements your complexion and features so well, that I'm having a hard time imagining it any other way. Not that you shouldn't color it if you really want to, but my very humble opinion that you should leave it.

But I get your concerns.
