I'm thinking of getting my hair cut really short. It's all damaged from too much processing and hard water, and there's just no fix for that except letting it grow out. Which I'm doing but it's hideous. So I'm thinking of basically starting over, cutting it really short and eschewing commercial dye from now on in favor of henna. (It should look pretty cool, the gray streaks will turn red and the black will stay black. Hopefully.)
But I'm skeered. What do you hair experts think? It's really curly; will it end up TOO short? Will I look like a tiny head on a huge body?
I did, Kathy. I swear, someday when I live in a palatial mansion (or just an apartment with lots of windows and cozy window seats), every appropriate space is going to be littered with Art Nouveau cross-stitch pillows. They are SO GORGEOUS.
I won the auction on the ruched pencil skirt! I was the only bid, even, so I paid less than I was willing to. I think my costume is complete, except for possibly some lipstick.
Did I mention already how envy I am in you people for having Halloween? I'm dying to see how it looks like for real just for once (or twice. Or more!)
I thought about taking a Nightmare before Christmashy with me to uni to honor the day, until I saw it's on a Saturday. Boo!
(I'll probably just end up baking stuff in the spirit of the day. Anyone got cool muffin ideas and recipes to bake for the following week? People will always look for a reason to eat, and I'm looking for reasons to bake.)

There will be pictures, yes?
My crappy day, let me show you it:
- As I was leaving the house for my glucose test (7:30AM), the power went out.
- It rained like crazy all day (usually I love this as we don't get it often, but not today).
- I felt light-headed and nauseous throughout the test.
- When I got home at 12:30, the power was still out.
- I had to miss 2 afternoon work meetings due to no Internet access. I hate that because I want to be able to work from home more now that I'm in the 3rd trimester. Hopefully they won't hold it against me.
- Power company was out front all afternoon and finally left, saying they needed a part and we were looking at probably 5 more hours of no power.
- I'm at the local library using the Internet and charging my phone. It is hot and full of kids, making me nervous about the old H1N1.
What is too short ZenKitty?
Do You have a hairdresser you trust?
How much do you identify with you hair
You could go in stages, but I'd go for it . the worse that happens, you hate your hair for awhile, and it sounds like that right now.
I swear that my perscription for abuterol was less than a year old. but it is not in the pharmacy data base. so I call the doctor's office - and I get to talk to staff. Which is ok, but really they don't know drugs , they don't understand all the ramifications -- and they don't ask all the right questions. It took 4 phone calls the last time I need to straighten things out . Pleas let this be simple. I'd like to breathe better ( ps -- also slightly peeved that I let my self run out of something that is for EMERGENCIES . Really how big is it to test something once in awhile?)
sorry, Glam. Most libraries are gearing up for the season. We have a billion different ways to do things like disinfect hard surfaces -- Hopefully you won't have to go to the library again -- but ask if they have something to clean the keyboard . You have a good reason to be paranoid.
Oh {{Glam}} and {{beth}}. And everyone who had trouble with things that didn't work properly during the day.
{{Shir}}, partly just because, and partly because you are being nibbled to death by ducks. I don't know if yo have seen the phrase around here before , but we use it to describe the situation you are in now. Lots of annoying things, lots of streessors and not much under you control. Take care of yourself as best you can
