Jai, when I met her for coffee, said, “My God! You look just like Jennifer Garner!” I have the coolest friends. :) Ted and I cleaned most of the kitchen counter off. Then Ted cleaned his entire desk and the computer closet and I’m working on my desk, after which I will remove most of the remaining mess on the kitchen counter to my desk. :P But then I can go through everything and sort out the reciepts for tax stuff, at least. Ted also wiped one of the random…
haircuts & missed opportunities
Getting layers cut into my hair does not make me look like Jennifer Garner. I don’t hate it any more than I did before. I don’t like it any more either, but I’ll give it a few days and see what I think. Mostly what I think right now is that the shortest layer, which still seems to be a bit angled and is jaw-length, is a lot better than the longer stuff under it. I’m just not any good at growing my hair long, am I? We did find…
1890s campaign

Challenger
There’ve been a lot of these sorts of posts around today, on my friendslist and whatnot. I was in our orange Datsun on my way to school. Dad was driving (he worked at the high school that’s right across from the junior high) and we were most of the way through town, listening to the news on the radio when it was reported that the Challenger had just exploded on take-off. I almost couldn’t breath. Today, nineteen years later, I still get the same gut-wrenching feeling of shock and disbelief.…
good grief
Good grief. I just got about a hundred more cover flats in the mail. To go with the forty or so I already had. What the heck do you suppose I should do with all these things? Went to the chiro. Feel much, much better now. Except for being sort of paranoid about going back to Little to write, ’cause I don’t want my arm to go all owie again. Feh. :P miles to Lothlorien: 442.5
