Long hair, short or none? Week 34 (back to work)

(This is a short post since I just started back at work this week.)

I refer to my current hair style as the "New York look" for no particular reason, and while everyone has commented on how good short hair looks on me, my husband's comment was, "I bet they were all women".
That had me thinking.
Both males and females have said good things (perhaps they were being kind), but it did remind me of a comment a friend had made many years ago. He said that the short-haired girls may be the ones you date, but the one you bring home has long hair.

Hmmm.

Hey Sally,

Congratulations on being back at work! (I'm guessing that that's a good thing, and that it's a sign of life returning to normal.)

Although I would agree with Gunnar about preferring your longer hair, I like the new short style - it's interesting and quirky. And it reminds me of my own short hair days - do you remember the style you christened "PH"? :)

Take care,
SAvi

Indeed, trying to get back into my new normal :)

And regarding the PH, as soon as you said it I pictured you then! Good times :)

And by the way, it looks like my hair is coming back curly..we'll see just how curly.

10 things I have learnt about my teen and language

I have just been thinking about how my son speaks and what he says. He is 13 now and here is what I have discovered: 1. He does know some curse words, although he does not use them (at least in my hearing). I know this because he knows to switch the YouTube video he is watching when he hears one. 2. His language is tempered by having a younger sibling around (and he knows he will be in big trouble if he forgets that). 3. He gets more animated when he is around his friends and especially when he is gaming with them, and he uses a different vocabulary than regular speech (see #5). 4. I should not be annoyed if I am speaking to him and he shouts back "What?!!" The decibel level gets really, really high when he has his headset on AND he is gaming. 5. I am grateful that he uses expressions like, "What the fudge?", "Crap" and "YOLO". Usually these are followed by the terms "Die!" or "Hackers!" or "Destroy" , bec...

Job Search2: Networking etiquette..

On which I have a few ideas. As my husband keeps telling me, I won't get a job by spending hours in front of the computer submitting applications to online job postings. The best use of any job-seeker's time is spent talking to friends and acquaintances and letting them know that you are looking for a job and what your skills and interests are. So here is what I found tricky about networking: How hard to push? Working parents are busy, so if I asked a friend, who is a working parent, about a position I had seen at their company, do I ask a second time? How soon after? And what if there is another position - do I talk about that too? If that friend is very enthusiastic about getting more information for me on a post then I hear nothing, what then? Is it realistic to think they'll get back to me? I find it difficult to broach the topic again. I might ask a second time but for me there is no third time. What do I trade in return? In the net...

Best Groom's Response Ever!

20 Years ago "On behalf of my most beautiful wife, Sally and myself, I'd like to thank you all for being here today. Special thanks go to all those of you who have worked very hard to make and arrange this event and to those of you who have traveled very long and very far to be here today. You may have noticed, on the outside, Sally and I are very different and have different backgrounds; but on the inside, Sally and I are very alike. We can relate to how each other thinks and feels - which is why we are here today. So, on behalf of my wife Sally and myself, I would like to thank Allah for bringing two like souls together despite the outer appearances, and I would also like to thank both our families for accepting the new family member so kindly despite the outer differences." True then as it is now. The paper he is holding? My hubby's hand-written notes from 20 years ago: But you want wedding pictures right? Outside the mosque, be...
