Got my hair cut last night - finally. I like the result (long layers, so I no longer have the heavy, Joey Ramone-esque mane) but the girl who did it...well, I'm not sure I'll go back to her. I went to a new salon, and while not expensive at all, it was an Aveda Concept salon, and they had their whole spiel. There was a massage involved, which was cool, but it was in general too froofy for my tastes. Plus, the girl doing my hair had a very odd manner. She kept trying to initiate conversation by asking me questions, then I would answer them, and she'd have no real response. So it felt more like interrogation than conversation. Plus, she asked me a few questions that seemed she was generally interested, or going to impart some great hair knowledge, but that went nowhere either. Hmmph. I may go back to the old hairdresser, pricy or not.

I did take some photos of the cut last night, so I will maybe post those tonight. I just wasn't in the mood for cropping last night.

This sickness must end. I've noticed a lot of people on my friends list have mentioned basically the same symptoms I have. I'll tell you all what my boss told me a few days ago: "It will be another week or so before you stop coughing stuff up." Lovely.

It seems to take about 3 weeks to get through. I'm on week 2 now. I was feeling pretty spiffy early this week, and even went out for a drink Tuesday night, but felt the relapse pretty strongly after that. Yesterday I got the pleasure of this plague, plus a migraine. I didn't want to take the Imitrex, because I didn't think a nasal spray would be very effective given the congestion, and I wasn't sure I wanted to tax my system with a pill, given how many other meds I've been on for two weeks. But, it was gone when I woke up this morning. That's a first!

This week is nuts here at work. To the point where people are actually chuckling as they give me stuff, because they know there's no way I can get it all done. So far, I've been plugging along pretty well, but I forgot we have Monday off, so I'm not sure about getting all my Tuesday deadline stuff. I may just have to work at home. I have a hard time making myself do that though.

Ever since I supposedly started the South Beach thingee (I don't like calling it a diet, because it's really just healthy eating) I have had uncontrollable chocolate cravings. I'm not sure how well this is going to work. We'll see.

Must run to lunch so I can get back in time for the afternoon mockup critique. Fun.

They have sugar free chocolate all over the place now...can you eat that?

Probably, but in general, my entire problem has been time. I need to do some more planning before I start this for real. Otherwise, I just end up eating what's on hand. Like Snickers bars out of the machine at work. And Lindt chocolates from a basket leftover from Christmas. Mmmmmm....
