I loved that cut. This one is basically as maintenance free, but you can tell more and it changes more when I go so long without cuts.

I would definitely do it again. But it wouldn't be as much of a statement now, I don't think. I'm kinda saving it for when I get older.

I went to an older folks church service this morning and was looking at all the ladies' dyed and curled hair and was wondering what our generation's old lady hair will look like. And I can't see myself wanting to put in more effort than I do now. Used to think I would have old lady long hippie hair. But I think the odds are better for old lady cropped hair.

I think I already have old lady cropped hair.

Not sure what I will do when the henna covering my sort of cool grey outlives its usefulness. But, I can guarantee it will not be a blue rinse!

Homeowners: as I'm searching through listings for apartments, I'm starting to get the idea that to get what I want, I'll need to actually get a house with a mortgage. There's a house that looks like that would be less than I'm paying now on rent, with more space (and if it's mine, I can do whatever I want, and have extra cash for higher heating bills and repairs).

If this is a question, I vote for buying a house. But I like buying houses.

I plan to cut mine real short and dye it blue.

I know a lady who has some purple in her medium-length white hair. It's awesome.

Timelies all!

Back from Connecticut. The 50th anniversary celebrations were pretty low-key. My parents sponsored the luncheon after services, and then had a barbecue(for New England values of barbecue) at their house in the evening. The latter event was a little dull for us, as it was my parents' friends, some of who I didn't know. Still, it was nice.

Now that I've solved my yoghurt problem with Sprouts (new favourite supermarket),

How did Sprouts solve your yogurt problem??

For FB, I'd probably just post as a status update "I AM NOT (NAME), BUT SHE USED MY EMAIL ADDRESS TO SET UP THIS ACCOUNT...MAKE A NEW ONE! USE THE RIGHT ADDRESS" and figure her friends will tell her.

I am planning on having that hair! I don't have a lot of grey yet, but what gray I do have is white like fishing line, so I figure someday (knock wood) I will probably have mostly white and the purple that barely shows up against my current dark brown will look fantastic.

How did Sprouts solve your yogurt problem??

By stocking flavours other than plain or vanilla in the big tub quantity. Oh, and with fat. My happy yoghurt place is half and half Straus whole milk vanilla and Greek Gods honey & strawberry. Gelson's, Bristol Farms, Ralphs, Wholefoods--did not stock both of those consistently. But Sprouts also has enough variety that I can get the big tub of Brown Cow blueberry yoghurt to experiment with this week too. Yay, Sprouts, supermarket from off my radar.

I was trying to keep stuff off of publicly visible, so I just grabbed a name and sent them...something. Christine is on the case now.

Those people finder apps tell me there are a number of ita MyLastNames in and about SoCal, but the only ones I'd found anywhere using Google were in South America and in Ireland. Where this new one is from too--but she's a generation younger than the artist lady I'd identified early on in the game of vanity googling.

Which, logically, makes the most sense--ita might also be a Spanish nickname and a Hebrew name, but Irish is most likely to give my surname and a shoutout to our saintly namesake.

I have done a blue rinse once. I don't think it's for me.

I am pretty sure I've fucked up assignment due dates enough that I am not getting my surfeyticket (Patois) of completion from this art course, but I will continue taking it. Which means I need to ditch here and get back to enveloping.

Oh, and watching S&H, who "couldn't conduct a straight investigation if [their]¹ lives depended on it." Oh, look! They just featured a crossed phone line. I wonder how nonsensical that might be to people who aren't sure what pay phones look like...

¹: What is the proper way to indicate that not only have you inserted your own word into a quote, you've removed some to avoid confusion. Square brackets and ellipsis?

Between a karate seminar yesterday and walking around a street fair today, my foot is very upset with me. R.I.C.E in process. Along with a couple of self pity tears. I'm tired of being broken.
