Thinking for an i-Pad: Questions 10 - 13

I am more sleep deprived than lazy. Otherwise, I would have posted this either after Southern Fried Snark, or at least on Wednesday. But DLG has seasonal allergies & her poor little nose is so runny that it wakes her (and her parents) up at night. And we are also having territory disputes with our computer. It's older than MLB, and we expect it to do everything a trendy young computed does AND run an anti-virus program AND a content manager. Although that content manager we've tried first is making Big Brother look like a libertine.......

I'm beginning to believe even an i-Phone has more multi-tasking capabilities than this computer, but it was essentially free, so I'm now through complaining.

Any-hoo....

10) Is it an "everyday" object?

Ronda replied that "it's not rare. It's not something I have or

hold daily." So the answer is Yes, based on the premise

that it is not, as Sarah observed, "specialized."

(Did you understand all that?)

11) Is it sparkly?

No.

12) Does it smell bad?

No.

13) Is it something talked about or seen on Southern Fried Snark?

No. "This has never come up."

They were very sweet to answer a 4th question during Episode 25 on Tuesday, April 20; that 4th one was submitted by (at least) moi. And I was being quite chatty (a pest) in the chat room that night. Sadly, Amy wasn't there. She'd mentioned on FaceBook that she'd submitted a question, and I'll guess it was the "sparkly" one, although she has a very sensitive nose & might have submitted the one after it, as well.

But #13 really changes the game. It is an "unmentioned." And I'm too sleep deprived to even hazard a guess at 2/3 way through the questions. Perhaps far more creative minds than mine will pose some key questions tonight. Or a few more good laughs.

Friday Favorites: New Hair (sort of)

It's Friday Favorites again & I'll get right to the root of it.

I got my hair done right before Easter!!!!

It might not seem like such a big deal, but my budget (time-wise & money-wise) doesn't have much fat in it. The last time I did get my hair cut was either May (according to Quicken) or August (according to a Swiss-cheese memory & the possibility of a gift certificate.) And I know the last time I got my hair dyed was 5 years ago when I weaned my son. I've been getting away with such neglect because I have long, curly (aka mind-of-its-own) hair. And I don't really have to have a "public face." But at a certain point, you have to scream, "Enough! We've got a return on our taxes & I'm going to use it!"

So here's a before that shows my gray & stringiness:

And the one I tried to take of myself at the salon (snort!):

See? I needed this.

I adore my stylist Hillary (no relation to our dear FF hostess) and my shampooist Stacy over at Beleza. Yes, I could go to a bargain salon, but for my little bit of me-time, I want to be pampered with a short scalp massage, neat-o smells, a mini hand massage, and a shampooing that would make you want to reincarnate as Stacy's housecat. Prrrrrr..... Hillary had even been to a seminar the day before & learned a new way to layer long hair, so I got to be the first to try it out. Sweet!

So I had a lovely time. I've got lovely hair again.

Ta-da! (OK, so self-portraiture is a joke.)

Easter, with make-up & a great cast of characters:

I really wanted to post about this on April 2 (you know, Good Friday), but I didn't have a really good "after" picture, and Holy Week is always-- no matter how uninvolved we are-- a big deal with the run-up to Easter. Here's to hoping I can get another year out of this.

But don't you wait! Go back over to The Other Mama for more fun Friday Favorites!

Thinking for an i-Pad: Questions 4 - 9

Just finished watching another hilarious episode of Southern Fried Snark. Ronda did a great job as host & producer, since Gellman was out of town today (You go, girl!), Sarah kept them (mostly) on track, and they even enjoyed having interns-in-training!

And being the generous hosts that they are & loyal to their followers, they answered a total of six questions, in order to keep caught up from the missed broadcast day on Tuesday.

Here they are:

4) Does it belong to Ronda?

(OK, I submitted that question.)

No.

5) Can you walk on it?

No, they suggest that you should not walk on it.

(You can walk on anything.)

6) Is it smooth?

No.

7) Is it heavy?

No.

8) Does it go in your mouth?

No, again they recommend that it should not go in your mouth.

(Although you can try to put just about anything in your mouth.)

9) Is it natural or synthetic?

It is natural.

These questions are from April 15, Episode 24. Remember, keep those questions coming! But not to me. I'm merely another blogger. Keep in touch with Southern Fried Snark via Southern Fried Snark, Twitter, FaceBook, etc. And if you do figure out what it is and win the drawing, can I come over to your house & watch SFS on your new i-Pad?
