It's a good thing I don't cut fabric like that.
Hello! Please tell me that bangs grow fast, because there has been...a mishap. Suffice to say that I shouldn't decide to "get rid of all this damn hair!!!!" when I am all hopped up on caffeine and CBS's Locusts, because BOY WILL I MEAN the "all" part. Hello, Bette Davis Lookalike Contest? I'm going for the gold! Sigh. In happier news, I let Josh trim the other parts of my hair thank goodness, and that part looks great.
I am selling some things at 3WAuction's spring crafts fair/tag sale, so check that out if you need a revamped sweater, a nurse's uniform, or any of a number of other goodies. Bid high - I may be looking into funding a bang weave in the near future.

Your Assistance Urgently Needed to End This Scourge
Hello, how do you all deal with summer feet? You know how it is when the weather turns warm and you want to bust out your kicky knee-length skirts and your new cute flats, purchased at deep sexy discounts during the harsh winter, that have been waiting so eagerly in the closet until now? And you do not want to wear pantyhose because it is so warm and green and fresh out and you must feel the soothing breezes on every possible part of your body that you can get away with without being in questionable taste? But: cute flats + bare feet + warm temperatures = singularly unladylike smelly feet, and eventually, perma-smelly shoes. Not good! Not cute! Not in the spirit of Spring!
I am down with the pre-emptive bandaiding, to prevent blisters, but I can't figure out how to conquer the smell. I tried some of those Peds things that are supposed to go with flats, but first, they don't quite match up with the lines of the shoe, so they peek over the edges in odd places and you look like there is something scary and beige and medical going on in there, and second, they are too thin and synthetic and I think that today they may have actually made the foot smell worse, because woo boy. Help!

Hah! My week was not all drudgery; I have solved the Moo Shi sauce problem. You know how they never give you enough sauce for all the pancakes (nor enough pancakes for all the filling)? Well, now your leftovers will never have to go naked again:
Hilatron's Fake Moo Shi Sauce
2 parts honey
1 part soy sauce
A dash of ginger
A tot of horseradish
Flour (as a thickening agent)
Dump it all in a dish, mix it up and viola! Even better when you mix it with what's left of your for-real moo shi sauce, but quite tasty on its own. Enjoy!
P.S. Flour tortillas make pretty good pancake substitutes, too, just in case you need a reason to use up all your yummy sauce.

I went to a magic show and the magician used me for the 'disappearing box' trick and then he forgot the words to bring me back!
Okay, that didn't happen, but where the hell have I been? Your guess is as good as mine. I had this past week off work, but my free time evaporated quickly, absorbed by taxes! more taxes! Medicaid paperwork! craft fair! grocery shopping! and so on. My week of leisure quickly turned into a week of "Whew, good thing I didn't have work or I would have gone plumb crazy." But oh well. Tomorrow is a special Massachusetts day called Patriots' Day, which actually means the day that the Boston marathon upsets the delicate balance of transportation in this crazy city so much that you might as well not even try going anywhere, buster. So it is a bonus day, with all my deadline-oriented woohaw safely behind me. I believe that it's time to install myself on the patio with a pitcher of gin and tonics. Want to come over?
