My hair is just really wavy and thick instead of outright curly, but I've had good luck with a short bob-type haircut (no idea if there's an official name for this). Any length past my chin or so just turns into a frizzy uncontrollable rat's nest.

Yes! Right now it's in the frizz phase. Even thought I've been using the fancy argan oil (though not religiously I admit)

I asked my husband what he thought about the Tasha Yar season 1 Star Trek TNG look and he vetoed it. What's not to like about a late 80s hairstyle?

My mums cat loves those gross microwave porridge pots with the golden syrup so her Christmas present was 2 spoonfuls of porridge. She seemed pleased. My dads cat got turkey then burped in my face for 2 hours.

I just made little truffles for my boyfriends family tomorrow and they look like little cocoa-covered turds :smith:

My parents' cat got an embarrassing number of presents. I got her one of those water fountains and a Furminator, and she also got Da Bird refills, some as-seen-on-TV loud toy, a stuffed monkey, treats, and good catnip.

She didn't seem grateful. It's almost like she's a cat :smith:

I co-planned a friend's baby shower with a very strange friend of her's. She wanted to require guests to bring gifts for my friend's two cats as well as the baby, so that they didn't feel left out.

The friend is sort of a nice person, but she's a trust fund baby who doesn't seem to get that not everyone has the same sort of background. The cat thing was cute, but she also wanted to have the shower at a $500/weekend spa resort. And she didn't understand that not everyone on the invite list could afford to do that on a month's notice.


Not to mention, my friend is a really low-key, frugal person who hates when people make a fuss over her and would have been perfectly happy with a nice, chill dinner or brunch somewhere. The friend wanted to go all Martha Stewart on our asses.

your husband did right by you

however I did pull off a really short cut once, just slightly longer than her hair. the difference between generic software CEO and chic is a very thin line at that length.

She means well, I think, she's just utterly oblivious.

edit: I went through a weird, Doc Marten's-wearing androgynous phase where I had a super-short pixie cut, practically shaved. It was cute, but it was hell to grow out.

Haven't you always wondered if you are one of those women who look amazing with a shaved head? You should try it.

Short hair chat:

I have pretty short hair. The back is basically shaved, and the longest section is the front, which is probably 3-4 inches swept across my forehead. Everything else is about 2 inches or shorter. I love it and never want long hair again. My hairdresser kept double-checking with me before she cut it all off. It wasn't that long to start out with, just chin-length. I look weird with long hair. I had a Dorothy Hammill bob from ages 5-12. :-(

I'm still in that phase. Have been for 20 years. My hair is a high fade with a 1 guard and about 1.5" on the top so I can hawk it.

Also, apparently it's still okay for people to ask questions about your sexuality as if it's a right for them to know. That happens a lot. Also, I mostly get called Sir, even though I have an hourglass figure and size 32E's.

I don't. But the barbershop is only $10. I live in Japan, so no tipping and I get an AMAZING hot towel massage with my cut. I don't do many "spa" type things here because tattoos aren't allowed in the spas, so haircuts are my me time.

maybe it's just from the back and you're wearing a coat or something and they make a guess based on the short haircut.

I asked my niece if she wanted to learn about Ancient Egyptians because there's an exhibit and I was pretty into that when I was her age, and she emailed back and said "I do want to learn about them!" :3:

Unrelated, do any of you ladies make your own cleaning stuff/laundry detergent? I have a shower spray that I made that works fine, but most of my cleaning stuff is running out and I might just make everything as it needs to be replaced. First step is laundry because our detergent is running low. Worth it? Waste of time to save like 5 cents?

Making your own cleaning supplies is definitely one pinterest too far for me. Agreed, get huge jugs at Costco and parcel them out. Bonus: unlike baking soda or whatever, it will actually work.
