I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I spend maybe 15-20 minutes on my hair when I do it. Blow-drying with a brush, etc. Probably 5 minutes on the face, dawdling. Most of that is waiting for the eyeliner to dry. Mind you, I only do this for work or when I want to look fawncy going out. Most of my neighbors know me only in no makeup and pool hair (and possible sweaty and gross from house/yard work.) But if I brush it right, my pool hair gets compliments. Allison always gives me good cuts that can air dry well. As long as I brush it right. It wants to do stupid things on its own.

T-cushion slipcovers are a pain in the ass to figure out which is front and get on right. Pulled a shoulder muscle. Also, it birthed a kitten in my washer, and I swear I run the upholstery brush on that regularly.

Liese, I love your hair short and I'm sure it looks great long. Don't freak out.

ooooooh. I was told not to move to a neighborhood because, "two moms would freak them out." um. okay?

Maybe I should just get a trim.

That'll do.

Our next door neighbor is having a graduation party (all very nice with catering in the back yard) and there are two dogs wandering around which I'm enjoying getting to pet - a French bull and a Boston terrier.

Visitor pets!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's just at the length where it's stopped doing the flippy thing at the back where the growout from where it's usually shaved. But now it's at the length where it does a flippy thing on the side. Only, in one direction. So my left side goes flippy away from my face and my right side goes flippy toward my face. It makes me look like a perpetually inquisitive dog.

Which is why I thought Black Widow might work for me, because it's already flippy, but deliberately. But I don't have the rest of the curl.

Told by whom?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I always tell them, "My entire routine is to wash my hair and then use a wide-toothed comb to comb it. Then done."

Honestly? It's probably less than ten. I wet my hands and run them through my hair to get rid of bedhead.

I need a neck trim, since the woman who last cut my hair did not listen well. I think I'm going to see if anyone I know has clippers with a long guard. Or maybe go to R Bar for their Monday night $10 "Haircut and a shot" deal.

Yuck.

So my left side goes flippy away from my face and my right side goes flippy toward my face.

My hair does the same thing, or did when it was long enough. So annoying. Had to curl it under every damn day and sometimes it would still flip around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oy.
