What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
I wish I could say I only had 1 bad, too-short haircut in the 80s but I somehow replicated that in the early 200s as well - duh!
ReplyDeleteI've been keeping it basically the same for years now, a little too long in 2017 and during the pandemic but mainly mid-length, whatever my wavy hair wants to do. As long as it's clean, I live with it and expect everyone else to do so as well.
I had a bowl cut that had kind of gotten a bit too overgrown which made it even worse but fit right in in the 80's - especially after I put sun-in all over my head. Paired nicely with my white sportcoat and Jams. Still to this day it's one of those pictures I look back on and cringe but oh well.
ReplyDeleteYou had that haircut too? I was in 3rd grade and everyone thought I was a boy. It was the worst! Then in the 90's I tried short hair again after seeing Jenna Elfman, from Dharma and Greg, look cute and adorable with the short cut. It was tragic and from the back I looked like a boy again.
ReplyDeleteOy, there's been a few, especially as a kid. The worst probably being the Dorothy Hamil haircut that in theory would look pretty, but on me it looked like a page boy haircut and I was too tall and gangly to pull it off. Also the at-home perm my mom gave me int the 7th grade. I looked like I could have been on Shaft.
ReplyDeleteI had an at home perm in like 5th grade. It was awful. My mom did the perm itself well, but it was horrible on me.
