In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of word for the day. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of the day; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

complete change of subject, did you happen to see Patti Ann Browne's new haircut over the weekend? i had mine cut on Saturday also and if i had seen her's before i went, i would have had them do it the same way. she looks great! she had reached that same stage i had, of shoulder length hair with bangs, and nothing much going on, now she has a very cute 'do! i finally was able to get my guy this time and he was horrified at the hacking that had taken place by the stand ins, but he said my hair grows fast enough that just one more cut and it should be back on track.

LOL!!!
I think the only cookie crusts I have ever made have come from a box!
Years ago, and for many years I received Christmas gift packages from Philip Morris and RJReynolds, that were the companies' food products. What I loved about these packages was that I got to try items that I wold never dream of buying - like no-bake desserts!!!
I will admit there are some things that I do now buy, because of those packages, which I guess was the point of them being sent in the first place!!!

Lucky you that your hair grows fast - mine doesn't.
I am finally able to get it into a pony and I haven't had it cut in well over a year.
BTW - I didn't notice Patty ann's new do - I'll make a point of looking for it.

To: xsmommy
I'm not so concerned about my looking raggedy at the moment because I can now tie it up.
Jax is getting a bit better about me dealing with her hair, because she has decided she likes braids. So every Sunday afternoon she takes her bath and washes her hair and then I spend upwards of 2 hours putting in however many braids she wants - anywhere from 3 to 10. and as long as I let her choose what is on the TV - she sits still through the whole process.
I consider those hours to be well spent - because there is very little maintenance to her hair the rest of the week. and considering it reaches the crack of her butt - I am saving myself a great deal of time and grief!!!
I lucked out yesterday - she only wanted 2 braids!!!
