You get a shampoo *after* the haircut? Salons always give me a shampoo before the haircut, and then I have to leave with little bits of hair itching all my neck. Which I have to shower to get off, and so the nice hairdo only lasts until I get home.

I get the shampoo before the haircut and then the blow dry and brush down afterwards removes any hair that is stuck to me.

Bummer, Gud. I hope you start catching many breaks, soon.

Did you say something rude to a black cat, Gud?

Timelies all!

Gary's away on an overnight business trip, by which I mean he left late yesterday and returns late tonight. Thankfully, his dad and stepmom offered to help me with the little guy. They were here yesterday when I brought him home from daycare, and brought him in the house and up to his room. Same thing tonight, and they also were here early this morning to get him down the stairs and into the car.

In other news, I have blisters on my left hand from the crutch. ow.

I have GOT to up my phone screen game. Just heard from the last one that I'm not moving forward in their process. Not that I wanted the job (in Cincy), but I am damn qualified.

But living here would have been awesome!

I don't even have my stylist style my hair after she cuts it, because I don't care for the way she styles it even though it's a great cut. Weird, huh?

Which reminds me that I'm getting my hair cut Saturday for the first time since April (no, really; working from home means I really ain't give a fuck), and I don't know if I should get it trimmed to above my shoulders or just go for a much shorter cut. I'm super tired of my hair. It's way too damn long. I should take a picture before I get it cut, because it hasn't been this long in ages.

I've been getting my hair cut on my lunch break for a while now, and one of the upsides to that is the office gets to see the styled hair that I cannot reproduce. Not that I try that hard, but it looks great in the salon. It always gets a little windswept as soon as i'm out the door, because that's life in Suisun, but it's still pretty good for the rest of the day. And I might not wash it the next morning if it takes being slept on well.

I like having my hair styled after a cut. I know I'll never be able to reproduce the look and sometimes I'm not thrilled with the way she does it, but hey - new ideas to strive for sometimes. If I really hate it, I spray some water on it and the curls take over.

I hate the way my hairdresser styles my hair. You would think that if I got in EVERYTIME with it natural and wavy that I like it that way, but no, she blows it out and poofs it up in back like some weird pageant mom or something.

My first meeting started at 7am today and my last meeting just ended a few minutes ago. Now I am going to login and do some work on my Stanford course. I think I deserve a gold star for today.

Go shorter! I mean, if that's what you want. I haven't regretted whenever I've told my stylist to chop it all off.

Is there a lot of mom hair where you're at, msbelle? Or, like, Texas hair? I notice the mom hair when I visit suburbs, with the streaks and the stacked hair, like a uniform for your head.
