A couple of people have asked me how I’ve managed to ditch the diet crack - er, coke - and how the water drinking is going. It’s going well - I’ve not had a caffeine headache for a couple days now, though a sinus headache has taken it’s place.
The water is going down well… probably because it’s not actually water… but instead? I am nourished by the Tears of the Girl…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. She’s seriously too cute. She makes me laugh so much… the little diva. (grin)

HairDays - Take Two:
Step one: measure hair carefully, make sure it’s long enough, take long haired self to the Haircutters…
Step two: Take a deep breath, grab ponytail, close eyes and let the Beautician SNIP…
Step Three: Show off the new do, which everyone has fun fluffing, and smile proudly cuz ya done a good thing.
I’m so proud of her! And she looks SO CUTE…Course, she can’t stop fluffing her hair, which makes me laugh, but she’s totally cute, and proud, and we’re proud of her.
Takes a lot to cut off 10+ inches of hair - and she didn’t cry like them crazy bitches on TYRA when they get their makeovers! HAHAHAHAHHA! (Yes, we’ve watched far too many ANTM marathons lately. *L*)

Step one: Take massive amounts of hair to The HairCutters.
Step Two: Laugh at mom as she almost cries a little bit, and steals a lock off the top of the pile of OMG SO MUCH HAIR to keep.
Step Three: Ruin Mom’s first picture of the new ‘do and laugh about it.
Step Four: Get THESE kind of reactions from the rest of the family…

Behold. This is what happens when you watch an America’s Next Top Model marathon, late at night, with a teenage daughter who loves to TAKE pictures, yet hates to be in them. Enter Mama being crazy, decaffeinated, and no stranger to making a complete fool of herself. Hee.
Yeah. Needed the WIDE ANGLE LENS there. Heh.

…a needle pulling thread… la! a note to follow sol….
ahem.
I’ve been mulling this entry around in my head for a while and it still doesn’t make any damn sense to me, so I figured I’d just write it and either you’d get it or you wouldn’t. Or I would or wouldn’t. Or whatever. I don’t know.
New Years Resolutions suck, of course, because no one sticks to them, so I’m coming at it from a different angle this year. I’ve a general all inclusive little steps count as much as the big ones actual resolution, with a lot of substeps and subplots that all work in general. So in completing at least one, then I’d accomplish something toward the whole, and that will in effect make the resolution a success and thus be completed in stunningly accomplished fashion.
Or something.
Where it comes apart for me is in dealing with other people. Mainly, I hate other people. Ok, so i don’t HATE them, but there are oh so very few that I like. And eventually, someone’s sure to say something. They’ll feel it necessary to ‘encourage’ or gush or generally be fake. (in case it’s not COMPLETELY OBVIOUS - my family is not a part of these ‘people’ *L*) I feel like… they didn’t like me enough as me to say something to me now, if I improve in some way (which all of these babysteps will result in, of course) or they notice a difference, they’ll feel the need TO say something, and that will only make me hate them more. After all, I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum, and I’ve seen it happen before.
I don’t want encouraging words that don’t mean anything. I don’t want angry GET OFF YOUR ASS WHY DIDN’T YOU DO THIS BEFORE comments either. In fact, I don’t want ANYTHING. From ANYONE. It’s not about them. It’s about me. It’s not about anyone else BUT me. See? And all the fake mushy high pitched squealing in the world won’t make me forget that you had nothing to say to me before, during, after during and after again - and really don’t give a shit about now, either.
See what I mean about it not exactly making sense? All I have is the vague sense that I might be improved on a personal level by the end of the year, but in doing so, I will generally hate people more then I do now. Heh.
(and again - FAMILY! THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU. *L* just to CMA and all.)
Bah. Humbug. (*L*)
