need hair advice again

said the girl who can't leave her hair alone.

It is too orange I think. I either need to go back to full on red or (cue ominous music) go blonde. Which I haven't in years and think would be fun. I tried to get an appointment with Carrie, but I was too late, she's booked up....

so how can I get a good blonde color, like Emily's, without ending up green? I have some speedlite to er, strip it. Luckily my hair is in great condition right now (all the sad parts got chopped off).

So how to avoid green? Any tips?

great googly moogly

about an hour ago Emily counted to 13

13

she was counting crayons.

I'm flabbergasted. Counting usually happens a bit later than 18-19 months right?

weird day

so I spent a chunk of today trying to track down my damn IRA account because I hadn't gotten a statement in awhile.

It was lost...for several hours, my investment company couldn't find it. I had a small heart attack..

Turns out my old bank Cal Fed got bought by smith barney, then by Citicorp. They did a mass transfer of my (and other cal fed)assets to their brokerage pool. Without telling me. Without my signature, then tried to blame it on me. I sent them the damn address changes. THREE TIMES. Idiots. So I'm going to find a new broker here and transfer my pesos the hell out of there. Fokkers.

Good things: despite the above, I have gained about 7k in the last year. Thank god. Doesn't make up for the bath I took a couple of years ago, but it is a step.

Other very good thing: Carrie fit me in on Saturday. YAY...I will not risk my hair at my own hands this time. Other more experienced hands and brain and knowledge will be dealing with my burnt orange hair.

Good thing Naptime conversations with Alex! I get all good stuff from talking to her.

Sad thing.

It has been a month since we lost Newguise. It is still very easy to cry over him and I suspect it will be for quite some time. As it should be.

Excellent thing
Bean counts to 13!! Film at 11! (eee--leb--in)

Excellent thing...

When I couldn't sleep last night and was trying to do my breathing meditations to calm me down, I absolutely without a doubt felt paws walking across the bottom of my legs and a weight settling on me. I knew who it was and I knew if I looked I wouldn't be able to see anyone with my physical eyes. This happened twice. He's still loving me and making sure I know it. I'm a lucky lucky cat mom.
