A new favorite word

The other day, a friend of mine wrote in an email that she was in a particularly "snarky" mood. I've been living on this earth for going on 34 years, and I consider myself a rather literate person with a fairly large vocabulary. But until a few weeks ago, I seriously had never uttered this word. Once I looked up the meaning, I was even more amazed. Because it perfectly describes my demeanor on many days.

snark·y: adj. Slang snark·i·er, snark·i·est
Irritable or short-tempered; irascible.

And now I have yet another word to incorporate into my existence: irascible.

Hey, honey, wanna Scrabble rematch?

You should start doing a word of the day thing. That would be fun. I think I'm going to steal the word snarky from you and start using it to confuse people. :) That and irascible. Sometimes, when I'm bored, I like to read the dictionary or thesaurus. I know - weird. But Brett does it too!

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin. Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
