My hair hasn't been cut since August 1st of last year. Granted, before that it was 2019, but still. My ends were fried and have needed to be cut off, and I meant to do it over my vacation and...didn't. So, a month and a half later, when I found myself with the house to myself, why not. My parents were at a party up in Harvard, so I knew I had ample ( Read more... )

1. My car
I took my car in for an oil change on Monday. Two days and lots of money later, I got it back. This is what cracked me up--I'd been at the dealership for a couple hours before the guy came up and told me what the techs found. He's going through this litany of things--and, oh yeah, Merlin definitely did NOT replace my oxygen sensor--and ( Read more... )

I am my father's personal barber. Therefore, whenever he feels he should have his hair cut, he asks for one. When it's a weeknight and I'm tired, though, I get kind of whiny about it. What's your hot date? Your friend's party isn't until next week ( Read more... )

Mom finally had an appointment to cut her hair yesterday. She'd had an appointment over two weeks ago, except it got canceled because her stylist had gone out of town--to Florida, even--and was made to quarantine for two weeks. I think on Wednesday or so, the salon called to say the stylist wasn't coming back (like, she quit her job or something ( Read more... )

Have I talked about my hair? I'm someone in perpetual need of a haircut. If you were to caption me on a regular basis, I look like the "before" picture in the shampoo ads. My hair is thin and breaks easily, so my ends go to crap pretty quickly. The one good thing is that it's wavy-curly, and if I actually do my hair, the curls tend to hide any ( Read more... )

Thank goodness Easter was last Sunday. The Sunday before? Snow. The Saturday after? Snow. Sigh ( Read more... )

I didn't end up doing a lot this week, but I was able to be somewhat productive.

Monday: I learned, after my whole car incident in June, that I needed to put *more* money into it. Oh, goody. When I went to get my oil changed, I found out my front struts were cracked and would need replacement. It would also be a minimum 4-hour job, so something ( Read more... )

I cut my hair this morning. I'd always sort of planned to do that, given that I had the house to myself this weekend; while I cut it back in March on my vacation, and I generally only cut my hair twice a year, I had some ends that should have come off back then and didn't. The stuff along my crown, because oftentimes it gets pinned or pulled back ( Read more... )

I'd purposely left Monday and Friday of this week open so I could just laze about the house. You know me; I always have little projects I can do. As you could tell, I spent part of the morning writing up journal entries, since Wednesday and Thursday were pretty busy. I got in a little time on the Wii; I also vacuumed the family room; I think I ( Read more... )

My dad needed a haircut the other night, and while he can do his own head, I have to shave his neck and create a straight(-ish) line along the back. This happens about once a month or so, and should have happened before he did his annual farm trip, but I was really busy then and he ended up not wanting to bother me. That meant he was a little ( Read more... )
