Ugh Burrell.

I don't really tell anyone in my family much of anything...I have severe trust issues with my siblings that I have had since I was quite young. And my mom is one of those catastrophic worriers that blows things epically out of proportion...now made worse by whatever cognitive/dementia issues she has now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

SHAVE EVERYONE.

This extreme solution is reason #324 why I wouldn't be a good parent.

Was peckish. But once I finished washing dishes and pans and cleaning the sink, I wasn't hungry anymore. Hm. I wonder how often I eat just because I'm bored. Considering my weight, I'm betting, a lot.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Not going to shave everyone although we did give Isaac a very short cut last time. I was planning on cutting my hair shorter anyway, but not actually short enough to make a difference (as that would be cutting it to about 1/2 an inch or so).

Our wings are not tired.

With the boys it was buzz cuts. The laundry forever thing sucked though. There should be an easier solution.

My family on both sides over shares. We just do. Step-dad has emailed me when mom has poo'd. (granted, it was an issue at the time) If one of us has gone to the doctor or hospital or whatever and hasn't let everyone know it would be because we forgot. I was used to my family and the routine sharing of all things medical, but I wasn't used to my mother-in-law's openness level. She several times a year gives me very sexy lingerie if DH and I are going some where or doing something. Just last week she gave me a skimpy leopard print number for my anniversary trip to Chicago. Um, how about mittens or a scarf?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I recently found out that there are delousing salons where I guess you can take your kids to be combed and shampooed and whatnot for you.

I've been very tempted to get a buzzcut at the beginning of summer, but I think Hubby would cry. I'm very curious, though, as to what my hair would look like growing back in. However, my mother-in-law went with a buzzcut in the last years of her life, and I don't want to emulate her Marine look.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Maybe a less extreme Jamie Lee Curtis-style pixie cut? It'd still be super-easy to maintain, but wouldn't necessarily scream "on furlough" the way an actual buzz cut would.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Jamie Lee with grey hair and glasses.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Whoa. I never would've guessed this was the actress who played Miss Blankenship on Mad Men.

As Miss Blankenship.

Hair and makeup - it's a thing.

Jamie Lee's hair is very tempting.
