Hair

As longtime readers have noticed, my hair changes a lot. I blame a childhood of peeling latex gloves off of the Nice’n’Easy inserts for my Mom.

Lately, all I want to do is dye it very blond and cut it short.

Like Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail. (oh hai 1998 hairstyle!)

Now, time has shown me many, MANY times that “very blond” and “very short” are not good looks for me. (pic from 2004)

ygm2 — “Don’t cry, ShopGirl. I know I crushed your mother’s lifetime of hard work, but I’ll get you a job reading books in the children’s section of Fox Books for $6.00 an hour.”

And I’d end up looking more like Paula Deen than Meg Ryan. But this time of year, a girl can dream, right?

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
