Happy Monday!

Happy birthday to ardaniel!

Hello to new readers jellybonkerz, kimberlybobrow, ms_friday, and xanateria!

Coolness
I really like sharing my old stuff and the stories involved with my kid. She's just fascinated. I need a rubbermaid box for it, though, and for that I need a ride to Target.

Speaking of that
I really really hate being dependent on other people for rides. But even I reach six months of being seizure-free, when I'll be legal to drive, I won't be able to. It's the drugs - I'm not able to keep my mental focus enough for any real amount of time. Which I found out the hard way not only when I was driving home from the Hyundai dealership, but when I was driving back from the movie theater that is less than ten minutes away.

yendi needs driving lessons now.

Speaking of things we need...
I need my hair cut. NOW. The last bits of overprocessed hair are driving me insane. They are borderline crunchy. I cannot deal with it anymore. yendi's e-mailing lupaloo this morning (Lupa cuts hair, great cuts, $10 a head!), but if she can't do it this week, I *have* to go to Supercuts. I mean, it's not auburn anymore. It's faded to carroty. With split ends. Must chop it off so I can have ryokan henna the healthy hair; sibylla's hair is hennaed, and it's gorgeous.

Why are you looking at me like that?
I really really want them to make a live-action JEM movie.

Seriously, y'all. I mean, they're doing a freakin' Garfield movie. What's next, Monchichis?

Moooose!

I nearly forgot the moose stories!

kylakae was chased by a moose...

And crisavec's encounter with a kamikaze moose!

Note to faculty, staff, and grad students

Yes, it is entirely appropriate to notice and comment upon the fact that I have lost quite a bit of weight.

Does make me wonder just how bad I looked before; I avoided mirrors at all costs, you know. Still do, to a degree.

Well, that's just peachy keen.

Don't blame me for the all-caps - this is direct from weather.com, and I don't feel like retyping the whole dadblasted thing.

...yeah. I'm *so* happy. If work doesn't let us go early because of this (they cancel when there's like 1/2 of an inch of snow), I may very well take some vacation time just to avoid driving in ice. I mean, seriously. I'm a Florida girl.

woo.

*notices intense surge of libido*
*checks calendar*

Really Stupid Things #528

Amazon.com will not let you tie a gift registry into the accounts of two people.

Because, y'know, a wedding does not involve two people. And, y'know, if by some crazy chance it did, surely one of those people would never have heard of amazon.com. Right?

Tonight....

*looks left, then right, like Susanna Hoffs in the "Walk Like an Egyptian" video*

*whisper* I get my hair cut.

*counts inches*

Yesssss. It will look... different.





(* Susanna Hoffs is so damn hot, isn't she?)

My hair is 6 inches shorter, 100% healthy, and not red.
