Hair Splitting

I finally got the long-anticipated hair cut. It's odd. My hair grows so incredibly fast. I just got it cut before heading out to the extremely unforgettable Disney vacation/virus-from-hell trip, yet, looking at how long & unkempt my hair was, you'd swear that it had been a good 6 months or so. I remember the days of permanents with great fondness. Then I could truly go 6 months without a haircut and it would all blend together. With the straight do I'm sporting now, it's about 6 weeks on average. That means, my dog and I are on the same grooming schedule.

At least his appointments are cheaper than mine.

When I go to get my hair cut, I always end up buying "products" ... this can be a mere $5.00 (Ha! Not when I shop!) or, more likely, $30.00+ for shampoo/conditioner/hairspray. I've recently fallen in love with Aveda's hand repair lotion, which is $5.00 for the SMALL size! It's sick how expensive all of this stuff is. However, when I think of budgeting, cutting back on hair product doesn't come into the equation! ;D

I think I could justify a perm, though. That would be a real budget saver. Plus, I miss my curls. Straight hair is so boring. And all of my beauteous highlights got cut out. I can see a trip back to the salon in my not-too-distant future. How can I exude confidence on my job hunt with mousy winter hair? I can't! :)

And so goes another very titillating blahg entry. :)

I spent my Saturday cleaning and I'm just pooped! I know, you're probably wondering what's so special about YOUR Saturday cleaning, Sharondarella, vs. MY Saturday cleaning?

Well, I'll tell you!

I got up at the crack today, and it was really hard to do. It was a dark and stormy night, followed by a gloomy and rainy morning. The kind of day that is meant to be a lazy, sleep-in day. Not for me, though. The parentals have their house on the market and Saturday is house hunting day for everyone. So, I reluctantly rolled out of bed, cleaned my bathroom, made my bed, noticed a bit of doggy odor so sprayed Febreeze (which doesn't work, sorry, but I'm still waiting for someone to say they think it does) and made my bed. Then I de-personalized (ie, removed things like deodorant, makeup, toothbrush, etc.) and made sure all was spic&span, before grabbing my bag of spare clothes and trotting out the door to go to Peekay & SteveO's house.

Poor Peekay & SteveO didn't get to sleep in today either, so I shouldn't whine so much. :) Once I got to their house I helped to clean the house and de-box some of their household goods that were still boxed ... thereby helping all of the nosey people who want to snoop around; they won't have to dig through boxes, but instead can see everything without having to do more than a bit of surreptitious poking ... ;p

Unfortunately, SteveO's fondness for hunting magazines has spread to the bathroom. It was a bit unnerving to perch on le toilet and see, at eye level, a big horny deer glaring from the cover of a magazine. Especially since the article was a gardening issue geared towards how to plant the crops that will yield an abundant deer hunting season in fall ... it never occurred to me that when I decided whether or not to plant carrots instead of lettuce that it was affecting my deer crop. Learn something every day, I guess. Now, whether I wanted to know how to attract deer so I could kill them easier, I guess that splitting hairs, and I've done enough of that today with this big hair cut. :)

Sharondarella is going to bed now because she has already lost an hour's sleep and her beauty is now suffering. Happy Spring Ahead!
