Jilli, apparently Tim has discovered Pinterest, and he has bookmarked several pinboards having to do with pretty clothes, pretty women, and pretty women in pretty clothes. Whenever he finds a picture of a woman in clothes that have wide black-and-white or black-and-pink stripes, he tells me, "I found a Jilli picture!"
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bwahahaha! Oh, that's delightful. (I say, wearing a blazer that is black with narrow pink stripes.)

I try to reinforce the idea that it's not just the stripes, but also the style of the clothes, but at least he has the general idea. Sweet man.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I need to do something about Emeline's hair. We are trying to grow it out from her pixie, which I know takes FOREVER, but it is in her face and all shaggy and she won't let me put it back in clips or anything and it is driving me nuts. I hate it.

I also need to put our brushes on one of those retractable keys thingies and then attach the base to the bathroom cabinet. All of our brushes and combs keep disappearing in the quest of Barbie grooming and there is never a brush or comb when I go to do her hair (and mine, for that matter) and it is pissing me off.
It is also possible I have a headache and am generally cranky right now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Can you make a must-wear-headband edict, and then soften it by picking them out/making them from cool fabric with her?

Possibly. I am also considering a points/reward system for doing her hair in the morning with little fuss.
Another problem, though, is that she takes the stuff out of her hair when she gets to school. So I think I might tie the points/rewards to her actually COMING HOME with her hair still done.

If it doesn't bother her, why does it matter? I mean i think of "get that hair out of your face!" as a very typical mother saying, but I don't get it. Why need an edict?

When hair in my face gets too annoying I take scissors to it--which isn't advisable for a kid, of course--so is it bothering her at all?

I think Ple dealt with this issue with Lillian by putting some product in her hair and combing it off her face. So strong hold gel is your friend.
