Some Orders of Business

1) The issue of the haircut continues to frustrate me. Every once in a while I get really frustrated (especially now that it is down to the small of my back and too heavy to hold in a clip) and want to cut it off, but then I see how long it is and think it's pretty, but then I wonder if I should cut it off to fight against vanity, and maybe I should think about donating it since I totally have enough to donate and have some left for myself, but maybe I have too many split ends blah de blah blah I have good problems.

2) After all, I do not have advanced ovarian cancer. KB and I watched Wit last Saturday, and I ask you all to remind me the next time he wants to watch a movie with someone dying of a horrible disease that I am a hypochondriac.

3) We're almost set up with places to stay for Chicago... does anyone have space, either for the two of us, or just for KB (I can probably always crash at Steph's if necessary) for the 3rd and 4th of March? I travel bearing Chocolate...

4) I will be away from my computer from around 1:30 tomorrow, for as long as I last over the Easter weekend. I'm hoping for sometime Monday. I'm taking a rest from anything Medieval related but I know I won't feel rested if I spend the entire time browsing Cute Overload. May your Easter Vigil be giggly and sleep-deprived with the best.

5) For my two or so Haberdasher'd readers: Happy Purim, eat a hamentash or three for me.

And now, I must run or my very French Professor for Social History will fry me in garlic butter and serve me to her toddler.

  • I wish I had some hamentash. But I might just have a place to stay for a respectable Anglican young man. It'll be easier to say the less far in advance it is. Also, I live not in the HP anymore, so I don't know of how much use I am.

  • Isabelle would never do that to you... and she doesn't fry things in butter. LOL.
    splits end don't affect the usability of your hair for donation purposes - they chemically treat it anyways. i've chopped all mine off three times now and it was always damaged to all hell.

  • You certainly know what that week looks like for me, but as offered before, I'm happy to provide my apartment, though not really my company, for any extra nights when your plans go awry for either or both traveling parties. It is worth noting however that Nemo is much closer to HP than I (over 30 minutes shorter commute, I believe), which may be relevant to your plans.

  • I wish I could offer you my place, but Myfanwe will be smack dab in the middle of three -- count 'em, three -- back to back trials. Since she's reserved (some might say antisocial) on a GOOD day, I'm afraid company would be enough to send her round the bend.

    I do hope you will still consider an impromptu coffee clutch while you are here. I'm dying yarn today for a baby hoodie so I'll have something portable and mindless to knit.

  • Oh, and I forgot to add my 2 cents on the hair. Do what you want. But I have never known anyone who regretted cutting their hair and giving to Locks of Love. Living in Chicago, we are in close proximity to three spectacular children's hospitals, and we have known and observed several children going through chemo. They would be happy to worry about split ends.

    Meditate on the paschal mysteries and see if that doesn't help you in your decisions.

  • I could put up with a male boarder for a couple days.
