"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec, I'm looking at something like this. Yes, it's Audrey Tatou and she's younger and much cuter than I am, but I like the slightly messy look. I'm kind of tired of having my hair being almost always neat. What do you think?

I think that'd be a good look for you. Yeah, I think you're ready for a change and tousled would work nicely. Make sure you leave little points in front of your ears.

And any suggestions for makeup/hair/clothes? I need a change!

Maybe get new frames for your glasses when you change your hair? That would be a nice, dramatic change. I'd recommend possibly going for rimless glasses, or something that was very light on your face.

Emily do you really want haircut suggestions or are you just restless? I was under the impression you were Growing It Out.

Toddson, I think that cut would look great on you.

sj, if you think she and/or her husband bought a house, I can try looking in the public records database for you.

My workplace is dead today. If I was a smart, motivated librarian, I'd use this time to crank out some work.

What is even happening?

Fred Pete, I saw your post about CFS, and your A-D. I've noticed I'm kind of dopey on my SSRI. I forgot to take it Wednesday morning, and Wednesday afternoon, I caught myself in the middle of doing a ton of housework I'd been neglecting, just because I felt like it. I'm not feeling like you're feeling, but I just wanted to mention that I do think there's something to your opinion that the A-D is a factor. I hope your new medication helps. It's no good feeling so fatigued all the time.

Cindy, I've done that too, and it's been great. I don't spend the whole morning shaking anymore (caffeine and my Cymbalta don't really get along).

vw, I had about a year when my anxiety was mostly in remission, whic is why it took me so long to go see a doctor about it. Anyhow, one of the main steps I took that helped was decreasing my caffeine. The last few months of last year, I was drinking a ridiculous amount of coffee though, because Scott was working from home. I knew I needed to stop, but I just wasn't, and the anxiety didn't flare up right away. It took months before it did. I'm so glad my Bitches spoke up though, because cutting back has helped so much.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Just got new glasses - since I had to pay to get the special ones the opthamologist recommended, I got NICE frames. Both are black frames (which seem to work well with my coloring) and square with rounded corners. VERY nice - the distance ones fit like they were made for me. Can't do rimless, though - my lenses are too thick. But thanks for the suggestion!

And the hair is kind of a problem because of thick/wavy/cowlicks (multiple cowlicks). I've gotten used to the wash/comb/let it dry, since I'm all thumbs with a blowdryer.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The thick waviness of your hair will actually work well with the Tatou cut. You just need to find the right product for your hair and it should be less than a minute of grooming in the morning.

I'm not sure if it will be the right product for you, but I've started using Aveda's styling whip...I think it's called something else. I refrianed from getting it because of the price, but I love it now. It's very light has great hold and you only have to use a tiny bit so it will last. I like it because it doesn't like there's anything in my hair.

Cereal -- Fred Pete, i'm going to second what Cindy said, but I don't have personal experience with it, but Mom had to change her ADs more than once because she had so little energy when she was on them.

She'd come home from work, lay down on the couch and sleep, and just could barely find the energy to do any work, but when she'd miss a dose she'd perk right back up and wasn't sleeping all the time.

I know they bought a house and I know the state but not the city. Would that make things too difficult for you?
