Did You See What I Did There?

I totally took a break from posting—without warning. I hope you’ve mused in your head over what I’ve been doing otherwise.

Was I doing…

  1. Housework — because there is no such thing as ‘too clean’
  2. Writing my memoir — you should read all I’ve experienced at the age of twenty-seven!
  3. Lounging about — it’s been so hot lately
  4. Designing websites — there’s a lull in work and then all of a sudden WHAM! you’ve got clients
  5. Embroidering greeting cards — combining my love of embroidery with my love of office supplies? DANGER!
  6. Cutting my hair — on my own
  7. Learning the true meaning of CrackBerry — QWERTY how I love thee
  8. Knitting — those three storage containers of yarn ain’t gonna knit and purl themselves
  9. Reviewing and editing photos from our vacation — and all the other events since
  10. Hob-knobbing with local bigwigs — I am getting CONNECTED!

Consider this a quiz.

    thanks for the prompt posting ;) you really cut your own hair? I meant to tell you it looks great …

  2. Hmmm. You forgot:

    K. All of the above.
    L. None of the above.

    I’ll vote for N—Not posting on your blog.

    Isn’t it strange to be so busy! Ahhhhh! At least you have the Crackberry to keep your life organized.

    Katie: I figured it was long enough if I was getting emails.

    I was worried about the haircut at first, as movie scenes of folks freaking out and shaving their heads went by in my mind. Luckily I just cut a couple inches and stopped.

    Partner: I did not forget K nor L. And having this work is a little weird—takes some adjusting!

    All of the above, YAY. I want that one.

    I’d be too scared to cut my own hair. Let me read your memoir.

    I cut my own hair once, except it wasn’t on my head - I shaved my chest once because I was bored. Kind of a bad idea. I’m glad your hair cutting experience has been better.

    Isn’t there an entry for drinking Two Buck Chuck?

    Nichole: Cutting one’s hair is much easier than you’d think. I’m not sure if I’d highly recommend it, though. But, if it turns out bad, you can always run to the hair salon and get it quickly fixed or wait for it to grow.

    bedwetter: I had a friend in high school who was a cyclist and would shave most of his body hair for races. I also knew a guy who shaved his body hair because he preferred it that way. I cannot imagine shaving my arm hair, for example. That’s just nuts.

    And yes, there was drinking of wine, although it is now Three Buck Chuck. And some cherry wine from local wineries up in Michigan during our vacation. MMmmm. Cherry wine. And bourbon. I love me some bourbon. And some really, really bad white port. Holy fuck is white port awful.

    Oh, and PS Nichole: I have not written my memoir. You’re docked one point.

    Damn, you’ve been very busy!
    Don’t forget to add the lemon juice to the white port!

  9. Anne said:

    Laura, lemon juice in no way saves white port. It just adds to the nasty.

  10. Nichole said:

    LIES! You’ve written something. Now hand it over!

    I don’t want to be docked a point. :(

    Once you start cutting your own hair it’s hard to stop. I cut mine all the time and only go get it done professionally every six-eight months or so to clean up my weirdnesses.

    mmmmm…port. The part of Australia I live in is famous for its port (and muscats - which tastes a bit more raisiny). Never had white port though. I’m gonna have to try it now, just to see how awful it is.

  13. Anne said:

    @bedwetter: The reason behind our trial of white port is due to the song “WPLJ” by Frank Zappa. So not only did we have to try white port, but we had to try white port WITH lemon juice. It’s one of those drinks where if you had been here, we would have been at your door with a glass making you taste some just for the reaction.

    I’ve had regular port and it is truly nowhere near as awful.
