sarameg - how awful.

Welcome L.R.

And it is STILL less than 20 degrees here. I'm just not ready for this. (I did, however, wear the scarf I knitted. I still haven't blocked it due to my slackeriness but it was nice and warm and more contrasty with my black coat than I had hoped. The scarf is a dark inky blue.)

Once, long ago, I got a catalog that was sort of like Heifer International but with a twist -- you'd sponsor a wild rice plantation and then get a bag of wild rice every three months, or you'd buy a family a cow and get regular shipments of cheese, etc. You don't get all the products, obviously, but you do get a tangible present along with the sponsoring gig. Has anyone heard of something like that?

I'm feeling the desire to do something drastic with my hair. I can't tell if it's an honest desire for change, hormones, or if I'm really procrastinating that much on my Yuletide story.

Ooh! You should bleach it and dye it pink, because I've been meaning to do mine, but I don't know if I can be bothered before Christmas, but if you do it, I don't have to feel bad, because the universe will be in balance. Or something.

if I'm really procrastinating that much on my Yuletide story.

I've been feeling like going clothes shopping. I think it's entirely possible these things are yuletide-related.

Not so much a fan of the pink.

I've been feeling like going clothes shopping.

I am not allowed to shop for anything unless it involves Christmas presents for other people. I do need a haircut, though. It's at an awkward length and it's making me cranky.

Welcome L.R.

The yuletide season is making me want to stop spending money. That sounds kinda Scrooge-ish. Let me rephrase, it's about the love, friendship and family, not about the money. So I don't need to spend anymore. Of the money that is.

I thnk shrift would do nicely with a bon bon bob.

Er, so to speak. I mean that sharp-edged haircut, not a philosopher-fiancee. Although shrift might not mind one of those as well. Does your hair curl at all when it gets short? (That's why I can't have that kind of bob.) You can do the long pieces in front, and then, when the spirit of Jars does possess you, just color those pieces (go purple! Choose purple!) and be stylish.

I recently got my haircut, and while I like the cut, the colour looks really drab. I don't think I can still cling to my claims of being a blond. I'd like to go back for some highlights, but I am trying to avoid spending money like that during the holiday shopping season.

I vote for purple, a nice shade like B148ED.
