Hawaii sounds lovely. I need to look into the whole quarantine thing, if it's still a thing, etc. and if not then after I get my 2nd shot start seriously planning a trip. I think it would be wonderful to get away by myself and lay on a warm beach somewhere, even if it's not Hawaii.

They just opened up these cute little guest cabins up on one of the nearby mountains... it's close enough (same county even) that I wouldn't have to worry about any quarantines I would still be able to come home if one got enacted. I think I should REALLY seriously plan one or two nights up there by myself. That might be just the ticket, actually, and easier than the whole Hawaii thing while the pandemic is still a thing. And I don't have to wait til my 2nd vaccine cuz I'd just be driving myself up there in my own private car.

I shocked my hairdresser by asking for an actual hairstyle instead of color and trim. She was very happy (as was the rest of the salon—I am famous for not trying new things there).

Anyway it is an angled chin length bob and I really like it.

Thats my favorite hairstyle

The company I work for is owned by a husband and wife. Today is the husband's birthday. So I sent him a Harry and David gift basket to his house (he works in NY, I live in CA so it wasn't like I could give it to him in person). He just got it and he really liked it. This makes me feel good today!

Good on trying new hair but I have no idea what it is. The fact that you and exhankster are speaking the same language is somewhat unsettling.

SlumberKitty · Mar 23, 2021 at 03:32 PM

stopdog something like this

I watch a lot of true crime tv shows. I must say, lady lawyers often look like their fellow sharks have randomly bitten off their hair. And eyebrows. I suppose it saves time that they then devote to their client, which is truly admirable.

Thats a compliment, right?

I have had the song "Creep" stuck in my head for over a week now. Make it go away!

Kind of like the picture that Kit posted except not quite as angled and a bit further down the neck. And curly.

I did something to the tendons in my right elbow while chopping ice at my mother's over the winter and for the past few months lifted the normal weight with the left arm but no weight or 2lbs. or 5 lbs. with the right. Now it's finally healed enough to lift my normal weight.

I seriously have never looked at someone and thought that. I rarely look at anyone and think about their hair. I keep my head almost shaved - no random bites and I don't have enough that anyone can grab ahold of. Good for lawyering and cage wrestling.
I am not as fixated on hair as some it seems.

Sure - flaunt your youthful healing abilities.

Now I want a haircut. I haven't had one since well before the pandemic. I am trying to schedule one for tomorrow at my local hair dressers but they are taking forever to approve it. I haven't been doing anything with my hair since the pandemic so it is limp and long and just laying there. Now I am inspired by @@ to go get it cut and styled. I still want to keep some length but maybe just put in some layers or something.

atisketatasket · Mar 23, 2021 at 06:41 PM

Did I hear cage wrestling? SD vs ex-hankster in the title bout!

That's actually one of my favorite songs when I "get all up in my feelings."

I don't want to give you another ear worm but I'll take this one from you so you can get some peace.

I hope you're able to get it done!

I got mine cut what, like a month ago or something like that and found out it had been 2 years since my last haircut before that! haha. I had been sticking mine up in a high ponytail pretty much 24/7 and the ends were so terribly scraggly. It felt incredible getting like 4 inches of scraggliness cut off, that I went back a week later and got another 2 inches taken off. I'm wearing it down a lot more of the time now. Mine's just straight and all one length, but I have been thinking about going back and having them do something new but I'm not sure what. I wish I had curly hair. Instead of curly, though, I got this super thick-coarse stuff.

Couch, this has been a hell of a week. Pet related trauma on Saturday at the crack of dawn. Hectic Monday at work as usual. Then my car broke Monday night. Due to backups at the dealership because of recalls, they can't look at my car for 6 weeks. My local mechanic won't even look at it because "it sounds like catastrophic engine failure and you definitely want that paid for by the warranty because it will be several thousand dollars."

I can't win.
