That's great, bonny! I'm so sorry we missed it!

It was indeed fun. Maybe next time!

Happy birthday, Connie!

This is not a binary choice. It is for perfectionists, but that leads to Stress Or Failure situations.

This. This is one of those universal truths that more people need to realize. The school of Good Enough (parenting, editing, fill in the blank here) is very important.

That is a lovely photo juliana but I'm going to have to agree with Hec on the anime point he made earlier. Your capacity for carrying off the dramatic cut is far, far beyond me and the rest of us average bears.

Also, when are you going to come visit me and my neighborhood??

I'm hoping it will be sometime in spring/early summer. I need a break.

(1) There is no spoon.

Then there is spork. I can live with that.

(2) Get you some live-action Tick and watch it, STAT!

Yes, ma'am. Amazon, here I come!

How wee is Liv? She just crawled completely into the cat's carrier. Owen shut the door on her and tried to carry her down the hall.

Bwah! Cash, your children are ever so entertaining, though I imagine it's less so when you're with them constantly. But thank you for letting us giggle.

Roger Clemens is fucking himself RIGHT NOW on tv.

Yep. He's not coming off well at all. He's outright confrontational at moments.

bonny, that's awesome news all around! Congratulations!

Happy belated birthday, Suzi!

Thank you, Laura. I'm glad teh internets are working for you again.

Happy Connie Day! May it kick ass.

The only downside is that when I went to henna my hair yesterday, I dropped the bowl on my beige office carpet. Blergh. After Natures Miracle and Shot Spot, the area is still plenty green. Not sure what other spot remover might work.

I dyed my hair purple Monday night. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Result: hair still looks brown; hands and most of bathroom are bright purple.

The hands are back to normal today; yesterday, after much scrubbing, everyone still asked me if I was having circulatory issues. Nail polish remover and vinegar worked on the bathroom.

Hi vw! I'm over-extending myself currently also! We should get t-shirts.

Hm. polish remover...I'll give it a test try. I'm mortified that the green swath...right in front of where my clients sit...and not in a good "throw a rug over it" spot...makes it look as if something far less wholesome landed there. myowndamnfaultmyowndamnfault.

Jilli, have you seen this?

Oxyclean?

Have I taught you people NOTHING? Babywipes take hair dye off of skin. So does jojoba oil.

Yes! My copy is winging it's way to me via Amazon right now!

By the way, Hec, I wanted to let you know that my haircut, though it has gone through some evolution, is still making me quite happy.

Helps that I've started wearing makeup, but I feel quite stylish!

(Sorry. I actually typed that post about an hour ago, but my students had the nerve to actually come to class!)
