Re: Last Post

A certain someone said the church I've been going to sounds like one for hippie agostics**.

It's actually a church that values:
• The inherent worth and dignity of every person
• Justice, equity, and compassion
• Acceptance encouragement to spiritual growth
• A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
• The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process
• The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
• Respect for the interdependent web of all existence


If that's being a hippie agnostic, sign me up any day.

**edited to say "agNostics" since I apparently attracted an editor along the way. do I get points for spelling it right the second time? editors. useless lot.

okay, so you've got a typo which reads agostic instead of agnostic.
so i've been debating myself whether to let you know, and sound like a compulsive a-hole, or to ignore it.
oh well,
don't hate me,

Whoa, hope I didn't offend with my earlier post. I simply meant agnostic in the "noncommittal" sense of the word. In this context, taking a little bit from many different religions (except Islam extremism, I suppose).

As for hippie, I meant the peace-loving, flower-smelling, interdependant community web dwelling, non-bath taking, non-armpit shaving sense of the word (just kidding).

Anyway, I wasn't trying to judge, since (God knows) I'm no angel.

(Can someone check my grammar and punctuation please?)

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

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.
