Today was Matilda's first day of kindergarten.
She was very excited and woke up early and wanted her hair in a "bundle" (bun) and pestered us endlessly to put her lunch in her lunchbox.
The entire school population met on the schoolyard and kids were rounded up for their new teachers and the new principal came out and gave a nice little pep talk and Matilda found her good friend Alizon and they walked to class together hand in hand, grinning.

Dang, that's an early school year! NYC public schools don't start up until after Labor Day.
I think it's way uncool to put "Harold and Maude" in this list of movies. Just failing to get the point.
I've been reading lots of articles on women with short hair and I forget to get it's such a big deal, and then I remember how seriously so many people take it, long or short.
Poor CJ. It's so great that he's doing that, though.
The charter school here starts today, although public doesn't start until the 30th. The charter school has a 200-day year.

I'm always the only person in the salon getting my hair cut so short. The other day I was there and two different girls were getting hugely long extensions.

That's how I grew up but Ellie starts here on Thursday. I think flea's kids started last week. My mom's school started last Tuesday.

In Northern California they tend to have that weird extra "ski-week" vacation in February. So two weeks off for xmas, then another week in Feb, then Spring break is a week in April.

Eh, no big deal.
Every new person I have to convince I really want it that short. At least they've stopped trying to talk me out of it. That used to be very tiresome, "You'd look so pretty if...." No, thanks, I'd rather look like a dog.
Much simpler to get it cut by a man, and by a black man. The moment of disbelief is statistically the shortest.
Huh. I've been getting my hair cut by the same person for the last 12 years. And it was she who had to convince me to cut it short.

Hairstylists and barbers learn by much experience that people are very bad at indicating really how short they want their hair and then flip out like mammals when it is too short.
It is, by far, the number one cause of flipping out customers.
And they can always go shorter. But they have to learn to trust that Amy really and truly does want that pixie, and you most sincerely want the clippers just so.
