"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well, my roots aren't too bad, are they?" so I took a picture of the top of my head and it was shocking!

Ha! Even more unpleasant I can assure you is having your son (who is taller than you) inform you that your hair is thinning at the crown. Thanks, Emmett. I was happily ignorant before.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I've basically stuck to my quarterly cut-and-color, and it's about time, and I was thinking, "Well, my roots aren't too bad, are they?"

The interesting thing about waiting a year (my stylist checked the record, and it was 364 days) for color is that my roots showed how much my hair grows in 1 year. Which is more than I thought.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My sister cut my hair when I saw her at New Year's. It had been getting so long (like, to my waist) that it was straining my shoulders to brush it. This cut isn't perfect (she tried for long layers so that the curls wouldn't pile up, but it didn't quite work out), but at least it's manageable and looks decent.

With this short (homemade) cut, I don't notice my greys nearly as much; I'm not sure why. Anyway, I'm letting it grow out a bit now so a stylist will have something to work with once I finally get there. I don't think I'm going to worry about color for now.

Actually, what a want is a lisah rainbow color on brunette job... I need to ask her for her stylist! We live far enough apart that I can safely copycat without cramping her style, I think. But also close enough that I would make the trip to the stylist and try to meet up with msbelle, lisah, and sarameg.

I mean, like, when we can do those things again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The interesting thing about waiting a year (my stylist checked the record, and it was 364 days) for color is that my roots showed how much my hair grows in 1 year. Which is more than I thought.

Oh yeah, that is interesting.

We live far enough apart that I can safely copycat without cramping her style, I think. But also close enough that I would make the trip to the stylist and try to meet up with msbelle, lisah, and sarameg.

Fun! It's going to be in the 60s this week here, and I'm really looking forward to getting together with people when we can comfortably do it outside.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

I am jealous of y'all doing fun things with color; I really want to make the jump to full-on silver, but my stylist has told me nope. "You would be in the chair for seven hours total because I'd have to strip it, and with your texture we could do it ONCE; you'd be marinading your head in Olaplex until we chopped it off. You're terrible at being patient, but for the love of little green apples, try."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet here. Mr. S decided at 3pm that he wanted to go to the playground, so he and Gary are still out.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Every now and then my hair hits a point on my neck where it bothers me, and I reach behind my head with the scissors and chop it off. My stylist is going to give me such a look when I get a post-vaccination haircut.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Got word today that my uncle that had a huge decline a couple of months ago with dementia (end up being fluid on the brain that they cannot treat) now has pneumonia and a hospice nurse has been brought in.

JFC.

I am so lucky to have known all my grandparents and to not have lost aunt or uncle yet, and still have my parents.
