It’s tuesday, right? I feel weird today, a bit disconnected. I woke up on the early side, gave W a bath and dressed us both. Then I loaded us up into the car and tried to be a regular productive type person by running errands. Except the only errand I was ready to do was a run to the pharmacy. And when we got there I realized the pharmacy didn’t open until 9am. (Which is lame, right??) But I didn’t want to feel like a total loser so I bought a liter of ginger ale because I saw a commercial for it last night and went to bed thinking about, of all things, how fucking YUM a tall glass of ice cold ginger ale would be.
And then we came home.
And I watched the finale of Make it or Break it because I am a 15 year old girl some days.
And then I did some reading on flash diffusing and found out that the external flash that I have for my camera actually has a diffuser built in that can just pop out if I need it. Awesome, right?
I am officially dull today.
And I hate my hair.
You know how the hair hate starts slowly and then the next thing you know you cringe every time you see yourself with this ugly mess on your head? I am in the cringe zone. I am just now starting to lose some hair post W and while this is very much welcome because I have the thickest hair in the Universe (for real) it is also breaking. As in I have this sort of halo of short wispy hair all over my head when I pull my hair back. And for those of you that don’t really know me, I pull my hair back every day.
Yup. Just wrote a paragraph on my hair.

Oh noes! Wahhhhh!!!! I’m Calli and I have thick lush hair! Woe is me!!! Whatever shall I do?!?!?
Girl, when you start looking like you’re balding with limp lifeless hair like I have then come see me and I will comfort you!
Yep, I just mocked THE Calli!
P.S You know I love you right?
OWWWWWW quit throwing plaid shoes at mah head!
um. you may have lost a few badass points today. dont worry tho, we all still love you and KNOW you are still 100% badass.
so…how was the ginger ale? you cannot leave us hanging like this, you know. some of us are stuck in our own dull days.
Yes. The short hairs. The short hais of DOOM. I still have them. Sometimes, I look like I have horns.
If it makes you feel any better I have totally been losing my hair lately and unlike you, I don’t have the thick luscious hair so I am getting bald spots on the side of my head near my temples. And because of that I CAN’T wear my hair back in a pony tail. Like I do pretty much every day.
And I almost blogged about it. But figured all of my loyal 5 readers would leave me. So here I am letting you know that I happen to love the random blogs…Thanks!
I am combating grey hair now that I stepped into the fabulous 40′s.
And, not to scare you, but that thing where they say your hair eventually GROWS BACK after having a baby? It’s BS. My hair was NEVER the same. pffft.
Bwahahahaha…laughing at the Geek Girl teasing you.
My hair is falling out so quickly that I’m considering a wig. No, I am.
heehee
My hair fell out in clumps from when Mason was about 3 months old, and I didn’t have thick hair to start with! It also changed from a healthy blonde to a dull mousy brown….
I well remember the flyaway fuzz around my head! Actually I’m having a bad hair year this year (5 years later) ….nothing to do with baby hormones, more to do with age I guess…I hate catching my reflection. My hair was my “crowing glory” back in my youth….ahhhhhh my youth……
I bet we could enter your hair in the Guiness Book of World Records for the thickest hair!! Seriously! I remember when we were in high school and you told me that it took days for your hair to dry, I couldn’t believe it! Mine’s dry in about 20 minutes! Talk about thin wispies!
Oooh – do what the pros do and tape bubble wrap to the front of your flash. Best diffuser on earth. Also makes your expensive gear look like a crazy homeless person, which apparently, is a good thing.
When I took a DSLR class this past spring, the instructors told us about this awesome thing called the Puffer (http://www.amazon.com/Gary-Fong-Puffer-Flash-Diffuser/dp/B0011000R6). It’s just a piece of opaque plastic you clip in front of your pop-up flash. Cheap and pretty good results from what I remember.
I hate my hair right now, too. I’m getting a new ‘do soon, I hope.
Rocking the wipsy halo ’round the head hair, too. I have super thick mucho hair as well. We should compare hairs someday.
I cut my hair off post partum.

I hear you about the halo thing. My hair has all these whispy parts that will not stay contained if I pull my hair up.
