Kristin & ND's landlord for the win! That's an amazing gift!
Hec, my brother in law never married his son's mother and they split when he was 3. They, too, worked out a 50/50 split. He put A LOT of work into it--including keeping his job prospects well within the area, and bending over backwards in giving his ex their house (he paid for it, she didn't work) and the better vehicle. He paid her more than an official custody arrangement would have required for support payments and carried all insurance and medical costs. I think the generous financial arrangements helped smooth the way but my nephew is nearly 7 and is EXTREMELY well adjusted, having spent more than half his life shuttling between households.

Send her to me.
What part of "pixie cut" don't the stylists understand?

I went out and bought new bras for the first time today. It's soooo weird. I still can't shoot for the fancy ones just yet because I'm pretty sensitive--seams are painful yet. But I can wear CAMIS. SPAGHETTI STRAP CAMIS! And I found some awesome v-neck tops that look great, too. It's a Christmas miracle.

Suddenly picturing Mom asking for "a pixie cut, goddamnit."(I'm laughing...) Sometimes I think we are the lost tribe of goyische Emanuels. I don't think we've ever said "pixie".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Pixie cut" in stylist lingo means: "No, seriously, I really do want it short and won't cry when it's an inch long all over."

I think when you're blonde nobody will believe you don't fetishize your hair like everyone else does. Because my mom speaks stylist, although pixie coming out of her mouth makes me snicker, but you know she was a beauty-school dropout in the age of the bouffant, right? But I'll pass on the refresher.

There are so many reasons to love your Mom.

mos def. My grandma kinda wanted her to work in her shop starting in the late sixties, but Mom wasn't into it.ETA: She does my haircuts and she was really psyched by the pixie-cut blondes I found on the internets.People really admire the shade of our hair but the texture can be a real problem sometimes. Tep, you should stay home and watch "Cupid" on You-Tube...Piven gets the love god's first head cold in one episode and it is pretty hilarious.
