No animals were harmed in the making of this copycatter

I must be psychic. No, not psycho (I'm so definitely that). Either that or I'm starting a trend. Or, more likely, I'm a lemming.

I swear I had no idea, until I went surfing the Net this evening, that Dooce is also in the midst of a "cleanse." I already loved this woman -- she's an ex-Mormon living in Utah with a potty mouth, a 4-ish-year-old daughter, a diagnosis of depression, and a great story (she got fired from her job for writing about her job, in often a rather unflattering light, on the blog, and sometimes writing the blog itself during work hours).

She's also making something like 6 figures from her blog and just published her first book. Maybe I hate her, actually.

So I didn't know about Oprah. And I didn't know about Dooce. Who else out there has plunged off the cliff into the vastness of veganism? Fess up.

Turns out,though, that she may not be getting the same positive vibes from the plan that I am. Click here for the post that may prompt my mother to send me a case of Twinkies and a side of beef.

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.
