Dear So and So

Short-haired chickies, unite!

I've gotten more compliments with 2" hair than I ever got with shoulder length locks. Don't let the haters get to you...they're just jealous that they can't rock it

Thanks marni, crankin, and becky! You all rock!

Actually, my stylist cut my hair a lot shorter than she usually does, and I didn't ask her to. She was on meds for a busted ankle, and I think she was a bit loopy as she did some other kinda crazy things too, like scheduling my next appt. for 4pm when I always come at noon. I guess I'm lucky I didn't come out of there with a mohawk!

So, I'm actually not really sure I like my hair this short either, but I still don't think anyone who doesn't like it should so much as open their mouth. It's just plain rude, like asking someone if they've gained weight. I just HATE it when people comment on my appearance unless it's positive -keep it to yerself!

I work with a bunch of engineers, who aren't known for being socially savvy, and this guy is definitely typical geek. Minimal social skills.

Short hair ROCKS! And you need to post pics of the new do.

Enough already. This is a VERY bad April Fool's joke. Two weeks ago it was 70 degrees and now this. Please let Spring arrive.

As much as you have my sympathies, shefly, that is a gorgeous stand of trees! I just love it when the snow is heavy on every branch.

And once it melts off the branches, it can all just go away, thankyew very much!

Dear Winter, TAKE A HIKE!

P.S. on another sad note... I heard that the earthquake that hit Japan actually changed the earth's axis and rate that it spins, therefore shortening the day for all of us a small amount (~4 min)

dear shefly, We lived in Acton, MA when the last big april fools day ice storm hit, 1990 ish or thereabouts. Fortunately we had a camp stove and a fireplace, and the place I worked and the children's school were on a different power grid which got power back sooner than the 15 days it took us to get power at home. They went into work with me, had a hot chocolate and a warm bagel, walked to school, stayed an hour after school for activities, walked back to where I worked, had a warm snack (it was a coffee/sandwich shop) hung out with me til 5 or 6 pm, we went home, started a fire and slept in sleeping bags in front of the fire.

After the third day, the "adventure" just got old. Good luck and thank your lucky starts it is april and not mid february os it is at least marginally more springlike.

Marni, did you work in west Acton?
