Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

When I can't find frozen peach slices, I drain a can of no-sugar-added peach slices, parcel into snack-size ziplocs and freeze. Must be frozen for my mid-day protein smoothie. They're still sweeter than fresh-frozen, but better than not frozen at all. I cap fresh strawberries and freeze a handful each in snack bags for the same purpose.

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

At the very least, Kat, the stuff on this site seemed targeted to accommodate the needs of the NICU, so hopefully not that long. I think they fasten differently from normal onesies for that reason.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I've been tempted to grow out my grey, because there seem to be some interesting patterns going on, but unless I got a really close-cropped cut, the growing out stage would drive me bugnuts.

You can try the method where you get highlights in the base about where the grey is for the transitional period. I think you'd need to get a couple inches of regrowth for that, mind.

Which reminds me, I need to hit Sally so I can break the base and tone the highlights today. If I don't do it, I'll get all bored and weird and use that box of bright copper red.

I swear, this whole temptation to grow out the grey makes me miss the days of true semi-perm color like Loving Care. None of this "semi" that's really a demi crap.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You can also go blonde and then let the grey out as it would be as light as the bleaching.

I seem to have been randomly lucky on the greying sweepstakes, since I've gotten the same effect as very expensive streaking for the cost of growing out my hair.

What is even happening?

At the very least, Kat, the stuff on this site seemed targeted to accommodate the needs of the NICU, so hopefully not that long. I think they fasten differently from normal onesies for that reason.

ita, by any chance, was the site Anna's? I was looking at that site yesterday, and they seemed to have sleepers that accommodated all the NICU mechanics, but I couldn't get a close enough look to see for myself. that it would work while not being hell for mom or the nursing staff to deal with.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm fairly happy with the results of using a demi. If I leave it on a little longer than recommended, it takes hold of the gray enough that it lasts a few weeks, and I don't really care if it's initially too dark. I doubt I'll use a permanent dye again. Even if I'm not really allergic to them, I hate the stark way the roots grow out. I don't hate the way my hair looks with the gray; it's silvery and I think it's kinda pretty. Once it's grown out enough that I can cut off the reddish-brown part that was permanent-dyed, I may let it go natural. Maybe. I've been very conflicted over my hair lately.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Insert obligatory "boner" joke here:

Scientists say they have successfully made immature sperm cells from human bone marrow samples.

If these can be grown into fully developed sperm, which the researchers hope to do within five years, they may be useful in fertility treatments.

ION, it is cold and wet and miserable here. I got no sleep at all because MiniMoon was elbowing me in the kidneys ALL FREAKING NIGHT. This afternoon definitely calls for a nap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Going outside today was a huge mistake. I went to the chain drug store a little ways away to get cold medicine and whatnot, and my pants, socks, and shoes were completely all the way soaked.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm keeping an eye on the ever-increasing amount of grey in my hair. Since no one else has mentioned anything about it, I guess it's not enough to worry about. (Actually, I'm curious to see how I look with salt-and-pepper hair)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yuck. I have to go into work today and I've been procrastinating something awful. ION, can you believe Don Cheadle just beat Phil Ivey in the NBC Heads-Up tourney?! ... I should probably get out of here.
