I got my haircut on Friday by the best darn hairstylist in the whole of Seattle. But, you know what? It looks ‘meh’ today.
Absolutely no reflection on Sean’s ability, just due to the fact that I am in that awkward space between ‘long’ and ‘short’. To short to pull back, to long to do anything but hang there.
I look like I’m a character on some mid-seventies sitcom who wears polyester pants with the pleats sewn down the front and argyle sweater vests.

“When we started watching his shows, we had intended to apply his advice toward our dogs,” said Amy Twomey, a blogger on parenthood for The Dallas Morning News who is raising three children under 10 with her husband, Matt. “But we realized a lot of ideas can be used on our kids.”
Crazy? I don’t think so. As a (to-be) teacher, I’ve been told and can see that they just want structure and a reliable authority figure.
You know this reminds me of a Sandra Dee movie I loved as a kid: If A Man Answers.
In this case, dog training was used on a husband, not a child, and I don’t know if I would love the movie now but I have fond memories of it.
Also? I totally agree with fishy’s assessment.

Video Friday #5 - What About Gay Marriage?
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love, put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.
-Sara Teasdale

This is a stamp of Wolverine from The X-Men comic books. It was released in 2007 and I’ve been holding on to it since then looking for a frame for it that Ivan and I both liked.
I finally found one last weekend - a simple glass cube that I lined with a simple black on black paper.
Why all the effort? Ivan’s father drew this particular image.
You can get a better look at it here.
