I always look like a fucking lunatic when I take my own picture.
Maybe I’ll go back to layered-with-bangs, like I had it back in 99.
Not a good angle. In fact, all angles are bad for me, it would appear.
Eh. Who the fuck knows what I’ll do with my hair. I hate my hair, and it hates me back. Damn hair. It just exists to give me something to bitch about every six months.

Nance and
Jane think I should have a BitchyCon. Except Jane is too scared to step foot into Alabama (who can blame her?). Actually, I think it’s fear of flying that keeps her from Alabama. Chicken. Bawk! Bawk! Bawk!
By the way, speaking of Jane and Nance, this is what it looks like when we’re chatting:
Jane: (something funny that makes me laugh until I cry)
Nance: (something that makes what Jane said even funnier)
Robyn: Hee!
Nance: (something pithy and insightful)
Jane: (something brilliant)
Robyn: LOL!
Jane: (a statement that clarifies the way the universe works)
Nance: (makes fun of Jane for using big words)
Robyn: Hahahah!
And so forth.

POSSIBLE JOE SCHMO SPOILERS IN THIS SECTION
Oh man, what a GREAT ending to the show. Of course, I should add that we only saw the first hour last night and had to tape the second, but seeing Matt so happy and crying all over the place made me happy. He really did turn out to be a pretty sweet guy, and I’m glad he ended up getting the $100,000 (though I didn’t doubt that he would), and I’m looking forward to watching the interview with Ralph that we taped last night.
When Matt kept saying “What is GOING ON?” last night, Fred said “He’s turned into Edith Bunker!” Heh.
* * *
I was so pissed this morning when I realized it was only Wednesday, because I thought it was Thursday and that tonight was
Survivor night. I cannot WAIT!
* * *
Okay, this’ll be the last thing about television (today), I promise! I taped
Joe Millionaire Monday night and watched it after Fred went to bed last night. It was okay, but I think the bloom is off the rose when it comes to that show, I wasn’t riveted the way I was the first time around. Also, there was apparently a bonus show on last night that I missed. I think I’m going to skip the rest of
Joe Millionaire this time around, especially since
Average Joe is starting next week and that looks REALLY good.
I felt sorry for Joe – what’s his name? David? – when the one girl asking him where his horse was, and he couldn’t understand her, even when she repeated herself. Been there. Done that. Felt like an idiot. Poor Joe.

I bought the Liz Phair album last week, and I’m liking it a lot, especially the song “Little Digger”. If you’re listening to the album with your 15 year-old daughter I’d give track number 11 (“H.W.C”) a miss, though.

The Bean loves to hang around Spanky, because Spanky is so bothered by having another cat in his space.
Our Bean is a troublesome Bean.

I hate it when I read an entry, then read the “years ago” entry lines, and go back and read THOSE entries, because I can’t remember if I read those entries by the line, and I forget to note TODAY’S entry. Don’t you?
How come Nance gets to be pithy? Are you sure you didn’t mean “bitchy”? Because the two words sort of sound alike if you say them with your mouth full of cheese and crackers.
Excuse me? BITCHY! Hello? Have you looked into the mirror lately?
I don’t even know what Pithy means, dammit. If it means beautiful and witty, well damn…everybody knows that’s what I’m all about!
Snort.
Hehehe.. your hair looks blue in the second picture.
I streaked my hair blue once. It was interesting. Not only was my hair blue, but the bathroom counter was blue, the shower was blue, my boobs were blue, my shoulders were blue, the back of my legs were blue.. I was a damn Smurf.
Robyn, you’re the reason I spent hours and hours watching the Joe Schmo marathon on Sunday, and now I’m so smitten with the P-burg guy I can’t stand it! Is he still friends with Brian? Do you know? I’m worried…
Pithy = concise, intelligent and smart. 🙂 With an edge.
I want to go to BitchyCon! I’d go to Alabama for that! I’ll pick Jane up on my way down – we’re gonna Thelma and Louise it there!
How about a cute short haricut?
just so you know, i am a licensed cosmetologist. i no longer work in a salon, but that’s by choice, not because i was run out of town or anything. my opinion about your hair is this. CUT IT SHORTER. it’s entirely too long. i recommend that you cut the length to about your chin, maybe just a tiny bit longer and then have some long layers. this will give your natural waves some bounce. i think long bangs would look nice, too. of course if you hate bangs, then don’t do them. to style it, just spray some sort of spray gel (like john frieda’s beach blonde) and let it dry naturally.
BANGS! Long whispy bangs.
I have no opinion on your hair, because I myself frequently reside in Hair Hell. But I will come to BitchyCon. I have even been in Birmingham! (A lion got loose when I was there.) (Yes, dammit, a lion. Really.) And, I have been to Huntsville, Anniston, and Mobile; and the truck I was riding in broke down in Scottsboro. So I am not afraid of Alabama.
I don’t know Robyn, but your hair looked H-O-T when you took all those pics of yourself a while back. Your hair was a nice red color and you had it slightly curled at the bottom. It was sassy.
As for BitchyCon, what better a place than Alabama to gather and bitch. 😉
Kate: I do! And I do it all the time!
Jane: I believe you mean cheese and crackers and MUSTARD, don’t you?
Nance: That’s exactly what it means!
Marcia: I don’t know, but if I find out, you bet your ass I’ll report back. 🙂
People with hair suggestions: But if I find a style I like, what will I have to bitch about? 🙂
I do NOT believe that you two are blabbing about my cheese/cracker/mustard lunches to the bitchypoo masses!
Yeah, Jane. I have to admit that I was too stupid to realize the snark when you first wrote it and Robyn’s comment clued me in. Grrr!
Kathy, I already warned Jane not to ride with you to journalcon because you are a DUI waiting to happen – I can see you now, mixing up your cosmopolitans on the way down! HEE!
I love you bitches! Really, I do. In that non-lesbo journaling way. *grin*
Isn’t pithy just pissy with a lisp??
Too funny Suzi.
I’d also love to go to BitchyCon. Let’s have it in Gulf Shores. Love Gulf Shores, been there at least 10 times, although it has been 8 years since the last time. They’ve got great condos and/or beach houses we could all pool our money and rent out for a weekend.
I also agree with the shorter hair idea by Catie
Short, most definately short. throw some nice blond highlights in there- it will make you complexion look better (not that it looks bad!). I have very dark hair and if I let it go natural it makes my face look bland! light streaks take years off.
Love the bean- Spanky looks like a little ole man about to get whomped on!
Well, after watching snippets of the RMA awards last Monday, I’m left to believe that the faux mullet hairdo is in right now. You don’t actually CUT it short on the sides you just slick it back so it looks short. And then you pile the top high…very, very high. Look for pictures of Kelly Clarkston and Brooke Burns for examples.
Anyway, I digress. Go with the faux mullet. You’ll be way ahead of the Alabama curve. Of course, your family will never want to be seen in public with you, and your cats will run and hide under the bed, but that’s the price you pay for high fashion.
How come there are no more pictures of Miz Poo?
I wanna come back to the GREAT state of Alabama!! Yes, Fred’s hometown of the the big D and Talladega are great but I wanna come back.
We had such a good time at the race and I cant wait till next year!!!
Did you ever cut your hair like Ashley Judd’s. I spent the summer reading your multitude of archives so I’m not sure which year you mentioned doing that but I do remember the photo you posted of her and thought the style would look great on you. I was ever debating the cut myself.
Ann – No, I never did! I still have the printed-out pictures of her, though. 🙂
