Teenagers are EVIL!

Or, Things To Do When You Are Sick.
Physically. Not mentally.

(After)

Lo was sick all last week. In fact half of her class has been MIA over the past couple of weeks. Dea was sick yesterday for, like, 10 minutes as per usual. She's got one seriously sound immune system.

Now it's my turn. Sore throat, chills, Huz is in Palm Springs for workshops/fancy award diners/golf, and I'm dealing with the fact that my dad in Florida has been deemed unfit to care for himself. Thus starts the long ordeal of paperwork, getting him to understand he can't go home again, and trying to get him up here to a facility in Alaska where at least he will have family to watch over him.

So, what do I do? Muck about with photos! Lot's of fun Halloween pic tricks to be found on various online photo-altering sites! You, too can create an interpretive photo of your angsty teen that'll really irk 'em!

I kid. And, yes, we've all had our teen moments- I had one yesterday, in fact, after I got a crappy hair cut. Let's take a look back at my FaceBook rant, shall we?

"Great dancing christ-on-a-crutch. They BUTCHED me at the salon. Is there NO ONE in Alaska who knows how to deal with CURL?! I walked out of there looking like Gene Wilder for feksake. I look like an asshole. I'll see you in DECEMBER."
~stomps off and slams bedroom door.

My mind is cast asunder on a daily basis at what a lovely person my girlie is evolving into. Can we not just slow down the whole process, though? A little bit? This "growing up" thing is happening WAY TOO FAST.

Take it from someone who knows, curly hair is very forgiving of bad haircuts. Straight hair will continue to look butchered, but after a few days, curly hair will just start doing it's own thing again.
I hope you're feeling better!

Gee, I thought it was hard to mess up cutting curly hair! You poor dear!!!
Even with all the messing around with Dea's photo... she's still a cutie:)
Healing vibes sending your way~

I understanding the "growing up much too fast" thing. It'll make you dizzy!

Now I've blogged about this before, and I will say this again: FEW HAIRDRESSERS KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH CURLS. I so understand what you went through at the salon.

There's this book I'm reading right now called Curly Girl, and it's by the same woman who created the DevaCurl products. She devoted a whole chapter to cutting hair. She cuts curly hair when it's DRY, which, if you think about it, makes total sense. Why cut wet curls when they're only going to spring up as they dry?

Hey-ho, so how's it going? Of course now we need a shot of the dreaded hair. I'll bet I'd think it's cute. lol
