I always laughed when people, on hearing that I was going to Hawaii, would ask me what kind of money they used. really? Really? REALLY?
So my arm hurts because I had my TB test and my flu shot today. Double puncture fun!
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Felicia Day's hair is very cute! I feel vindicated in my short-hair-havingness.
I've given up on covering the gray. Or the grey. Fuck the assholes who don't want to hire me for being old: I look so.much.better. with the grey.
Revised my resume again and sent it off to the recruiter with a straitforward discussion of how I could be awesome for that job. Guess we'll see. I just hope it isn't in San Ramon, or something: I haven't had to drive to work since 1996.

Is "wake up and smell the roses" a thing people say?
Your grey is gorgeous, Consuela, whatever vowel you use to spell it. Good luck with the recruiter.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I thought it was stop and smell the roses.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought that was what Juliebird was conveying.

That's what I thought, too. There's a Glade commercial that's confusing me. Doesn't exactly have the same meaning, does it?

Because books.
I think "Wake up and smell the roses" could be intended to mean, "Your house will smell awesome from the minute you wake up, and all goddamn day long." But it's still kind of dumb.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Stop and smell the roses, wake up and smell the coffee. Easy to smash them together.
I've given up on covering the gray. Or the grey.
I stand with you on this, Conseula. I don't think I look better, but I'm sick of the allergic reactions to the dye, and how dry and frizzy it makes my hair. And my gray is pretty, as it turns out; it's silvery.

I have rather nice grey, and some odd blonde streaks. I'm OK with that.
edit: I'm not OK with the thinning, but I'm too lazy to do anything about that. Though I have changed the part in my hair. Yes, I'm doing a combover.
