Yay caterer fix!

Jen, this is my 25 year this year, but I’m not going—my dads birthday is the next weekend and I’m going to the east coast for that. Couldn’t handle making it a 2 week trip though. Hope you have fun!

David, I would book a hair appointment but I don’t have anyone! I did just trim a couple inches off the front bits which were a bit longer than the back. I may try blow drying in a different way later and see if I can get a fake-bangs effect and if that might satisfy my need for change. Possible. Part of the problem is I love the colored hair but it is so damaging, and I decided I really need to grow it out. So I have like 3” of roots and those 3” are thicker and more curly than the rest!

I just made a consultation appointment for Friday for a new stylist, because I am in desperate need of color and someone who can cut my hair without making me look like whichever of the Three Stooges has the bowl cut. The salon seems too fancy for me, but that's just because I'm living the feral WFH life. The stylist's bio mentioned "low-maintenance" styles, which is right up my alley (assuming "low-maintenance" doesn't mean "Three Stooges") and says she loves "all things blonde," so I think even if the salon is fancy, I picked the right stylist.

I'm just being slightly vain about the giant 3-day family wedding extravaganza coming up and want to look good in pictures. And I want to schedule the cut and color before San Francisco so I can look good for my Buffistas, too.

I would love to come to JZs memorial but it just doesn't make sense financially for me

I wish I could come too.

So really just need to:

Book the roller derby.

Got the new window frames installed in the sleeping porch. It's only plastic sheet right now, but I'm going to replace it with plexiglass when I can. The old windows were just screens so when we had a strong wind, rain would blow in. So far it has just been a real problem once, but don't want it to happen again.

I love the look of your house, Gud! And the sleeping porch looks very nice.

And the sleeping porch looks very nice.

It's neat, but it needs a lot of work. I need to lay down some 3/4" plywood to give it a better floor, but something on top of that and paint everything.

A little ways upstream, Sheryl apologized for not posting for a week. I think I'm doing well if I post twice in a week! I try, but the conversation keeps moving on before I get there (stoopid time zones!) Anyway, love you guys, here's a nearly content-free post.

whichever of the Three Stooges has the bowl cut

That would be Moe, to whom you bear zero resemblance, no matter what your hair is doing. But yes, give yourself permission to splurge a bit! It beats paying someone any amount at all for a cut you don't like!

I think I need to give up on crescent moon and star post earrings. I have *always* loved them (moons and stars in general, not just on earrings), but I am So Sick of having to replace them. The little points catch on everything! My hair, clothes, just now in the shower on my loofah! I like having cute little post earrings in my back holes, then I just change the front holes day-to-day, but I think I'm going to have to find a different theme, can't keep replacing falling/flying moons.

On my work laptop and I can't see Gud's sleeping porch, sadface. If you're taking out the screens, won't that be awfully stuffy? Or are the new windows in addition to the screens?

And no, I won't count that as posting twice (or thrice!) in one week.
