So I was just skipping and nipping in faster than a fast thing to make an entirely memememe announcement, but then I had to go find the Matilda pictures. OMG. Such gorgeousness! But the Unconscious one is definitely my favourite.

Anyway, my wholly egotistical announcement: I HAVE FABULOUS HAIR.

Like, OMG, best haircut EVAH. (Sorry Hec! Sorry! Loved the SF haircut very much too, but, but, but am so entirely enamoured of this haircut right now!) Haven't had it cut since August. Haven't had it coloured since Christmas.

I went in with curlyish chaos of what might charitably be called bedhead, with inch-long roots.

I came OUT looking absofuckinglutely FABULOUS. I mean, okay, still overweight blah blah blah but - OMG. Loving this hair. Razor cut angled bob, as this is my OTStyle, and it took him (her?) the best part of 3 hours to colour and cut it. And it SHOWS.

bounces off gleefully.

Fay, I think we need pictures!

Yes, we definitely need pictures!

I know we need pictures. And I might need a plane ticket.

Heh. Sometimes, I get some confirmation that I come by my dorkiness naturally. On my Israel pictures, I'd labelled the first picture of poppies with, "Poppies. Poppies will make them sleep." My father just left the comment, "Ozrael?"

Hee. I can see clearly now that my dorkiness came naturally too. And (yay) my kids have inherited it from the dorky parents.

Thanks Hil, Insent to profile.

We definitely need Fay pictures.

Thanks for all the Tilda praise! I think I look ghastly in the unconscious picture, but I couldn't delete it because she looked so beautiful and the sight of her hand on my face just broke me.

She's six months old tomorrow. I keep boggling. Look how wee and fragile she was!

hey all sending out lots of health ma~~

today was a tad exciting. We took the cat to the Emergency vet. He started limping on Saturday - and it got worse. so we took him in early this morning. Of course as he turns from affectionate ( if slightly unpredictable) lovebug to tiger - he stops limping. The vet gave us some pain med that might help ( if he sprained something , which is one possibility) but decided not to put him under , because our vet has some x-rays of his shoulders ( which have a bit of arthritis). I still have no idea if he sprained something, it is his arthritis, or an ingrown dew claw. ( no dopey drugs at home , so we can't clip his claws). meanwhile , he started limping again when we got home. But he is happy, hungry and curious.

We did have breakfast/brunch at the scharffenberger chocolate factory restaurant and wander around Berkeley for much of the rest of the day. WE just had pizza here. My sister K was here for a quick stop - she is stationed in Japan and was in Va for a week. She stopped in CA to visit before going back to Japan. Percy was originally her cat. He doesn't actually seem to remember her, but somehow he does seem to know she is his friend.

Hee. I HAVE pictures, but the only pictures I have at the moment are the ones on my phone. However, I may possibly be able to make more pictures happen today, as I'm photographing the kids like billy-o for our yearbook, and thus have the digital camera signed out...

Yay for geeky parents! Not that I have them myself, but yay for them anyway. (My parents came to see 'Fellowship of the Ring' with me because they thought they would finally have some idea what I'd been obsessed about when I was nine. They fell asleep. My Dad kept remarking on how clever the special effects were. They were utterly bemused by the fact that it made me cry.)

And, JZ, you are an equal part of the gorgeousness of the Unconscious picture. Which I appreciate you may think is BS, but is in fact entirely the case. It is an adorable picture. A. Dor. Able.
