What a gloomy day for me. Overcast and slight rain. Makes me lazy. Thank goodness it's a civic holiday tomorrow.
Sounds like the usual Vancouver weather in a few days.... wait, a sec, those were your rain clouds :p

Guys, the interview went exceptionally well! I can't even begin to explain how calm I was the whole time (which is odd, I usually have some level of anxiety or worry or interview butterflies). I was thrown a few tough questions but I somehow managed to word vomit some really detailed and professional sounding answers. I don't know where they came from, I just wanted to talk about cheese. Either way, thanks for the prayers!

To the hairstyle experts, please stop considering long, super curly hair fashions for women over 40. My hair will never be straight, even short, unless I spend hours at a time at it. And who has the time for that.

(FYI: Before someone suggests to straighten it, I would have to perm it first, to relax my hair, and by then, it would completely damage my hair that straightening it would probably break my hair off.)

wait... i'm confused. i'll probably always have long/ish hair BECAUSE it's curly, for all the reasons you mentioned. and i've also learned having long curly hair is so much easier than anything else. for me, anyway.

when i have long hair, it's not so big. anything close to my shoulders is seriously floufy, and i was pushing 'fro territory the last time my hair was just an inch or two below my chin.

how long is yours? and how often do you straighten it? for me, it's pretty much only when i get my hair cut, and then i get my kicks out of going grocery shopping and running errands while people who "know me" look at me funny and try to figure out how they "know me". isn't it fun? and then i just avoid the raindrops. but i seriously look different in straight hair. like, my best friend walked RIGHT past me, once. : )

and, while the newer, spendy thermal straightening methods work much better than the options that existed before , they don't make your hair straight. or they didn't for me, though i did straighten my hair for several years. i about died when i realized that i no longer had straight OR curly hair. just a lukewarm version of weirdly wavy hair that STILL required a lot of effort to have straight hair.

Yeah, apparently when you hit 40, fashion dictates that women are old, and must cut their hair to at least mid shoulder. Shorter is even better, because only young women look good with long hair.
FOUL! I call foul on fashion! (I would call a lot of other things but I don't use those words since I became a christian... But then I and fashion parted ways years ago because fashion thought I was a nerd and I thought fashion was totally crazy.) Who said 40+ have to cut their hair short? My Grandma looks good - or she would if she ever let her hair down, but she keeps it up in a bun. But when she takes it down to redo it, for that one moment she looks good.
Oh, yes, brother. I despise Maths with a passion. So you could probably call me a geek. ;)

Olerica, thanks, sister. I'm more of a Star Wars fan than a Star Trek fan, but I'm familiar with the saying, just not with the Omega symbol meaning 'resistance'.
If you have never played KOTOR you're not really a Star Wars fan. :p
McDonald's has salads now? lol, I think they would still find a way to make it unhealthy :p
They do have salads, and they are unhealthy. And believe it or else... I mean believe it or not, fried chicken is better than grilled chicken on a salad. The "fillet" of grilled chicken is not a whole chicken fillet. It's bits of meat and fat that have been pressed into the shape of a chicken fillet, with (according to the ingredients list on the box) up to 17% of a water/salt/spice/rice starch mix added.

Look, forget the chicken entirely. Just have a nice side salad.

By the way, did you ever notice if you flip one initial in Bruce Wayne over, you get the initials for Batman? BW, BM. I have been waiting DECADES for some Hollywood producer to notice this and make a scene where it shows Bruce Wayne on the screen, then the W flips, rotates for a bit, then comes to rest as an M.

I'm 35 and I own 5 cats in a tiny appartment... If I had a house, I probably would be around those numbers... hehehehe

Maybe that's why the Lord hasn't allowed me to buy a house yet.... hmmmmm....

You're perfectly fine in the head lol.

Now, being a lady of 20 turtles. That's a whole different story. I might just do that.
