20MarchSuzanne7 CommentsHome in the Rookery, The Human Condition, Uncategorized

I like to cut my own hair, and have gotten so I can usually pull it off without the need for aÂ brown paper bag standing by.Â My favorite is the layered cut, ’cause it takesÂ my heavy mane and makes it manageable and, as an added plus, is veryÂ forgiving of mistakes. Just for comparisons sake, this

No idea where the pic came from, but it was too awesome to go un-shared. Â All those arms and legs–I just discovered how the instinctiveÂ species-wide need to nurture and protect a baby can be squashed.Â Waaay too much of a good thing!

I’ve been accepted to bootcamp! After watching the mail for a week, I almost missed the email when it came. I can’t wait to meet my fellow students, and I’m totally stoked to spend a whole week focusing on nothing but writing. Oh, and it’ll be cool to take classes directly from Orson Scott Card,
