Do what I do... Just go out and buy one of these, use it yourself once every two weeks, and never bother with your hair again. This has been the most economical device I've ever used, both in saving time and money! Set it to the smallest setting, cut everything equally, and forget your hair for the next two weeks.

Just sitting here and sketching with my new derwent pencil set..

Well, my class was cancelled yesterday because people were blowing the weather situation out of proportion. But I'm OK with that because what our teacher told us to do for homework wasn't what he put on paper, so I have to condense my project.

So I used yesterday to finally clean out my reading list on my browser.

Right now I'm just enjoying some coffee and about to read through some old newsletters I've put off for awhile now.

New pencils, mmmm.

My father's got one of those! But that would be a bit extreme. Actually about six months ago I decided to let my hair grow again. I had a short bob and now it's about shoulder length and I love it, I can now tie my hair back with a normal elastic band (it'll be a while before I can use a pencil or even small screwdriver to put my hair up), when it was short I had to resort to clips and/or head/hair bands and I hate those.

In the end I didn't go, I just couldn't be bothered. I'll see if I can get myself to go on Friday when I have a day off.

I was going through some old 'important' papers of mine, looking for my high school diploma, when I came across an old 'To Do' list for Feb.14th, 1995 that I had saved.
Never let it be said that I'm not romantic...

Went outside to check the steps/driveway - stomped & kicked off a 2" shelf of snow/ice on each step. If noon's storm isn't too heavy I'll attack the driveway before it freezes solid tonight. Or I'll stay inside & read.

Stay inside and read. Or ban astrologers who try to peddle good luck charms at MobileRead. The snow will melt eventually.

You big softie you.

poohbear_nc · 02-13-2014, 10:53 AM

And how long did this marriage last?

orlok · 02-13-2014, 10:57 AM

I bet the door hooks lasted longer.

Nineteen years tomorrow... if we make it through the night tonight. We did celebrate after we signed the papers at City Hall... We went to Baskin Robbins for ice cream sundaes, then to a pizza party with a couple of friends at Michael's house. Having been married twice before, I didn't want to make a big thing of it, especially having been a bachelor for the previous seventeen years. (I started the first marriage young.) Nineteen years is a new "Personal Best" for me! Assuming, that is, that we make it through the night.

Nah... I tried using them to hold a motorcycle lock and chain and one snapped from the weight. These things are just made to hold a coat hanger with a shirt on it, I think!

Congrats. It's our 19th on the 4th of March. Since my first only lasted 2 years, this is by far and away a record for me
