Hope you don't mind, but that is the price of being a hair goddess. Besides, we all likes you! 

Awww thanks NRogue and Atlantis but I can't call myself a hair goddess without calling everybody else a hair god/goddess/deity/etc. too. I admire so many people's textures and lengths.

Here is a picture of the curtain rod. It's 6 inches long and used for a Chinese bun.



Hair length. I'm not too eager to measure this time... Away with the August and February measurements. I'll be taking official measurements on Beltaine and Samhain when there's more noticeable growth. "Noticeable growth", to me, can be defined as three or more inches difference. Ms. June is getting longer for sure, but at this point I'm also losing lots of length to the waviness. Someone also mentioned measuring in the shower. For some reason I always thought that would be inaccurate because wet hair does stretch, but at least it would be a lot more accurate than having to stretch out the waves while dry. The best case scenario is to wet-comb it straight after a shower. Second day wet-combed hair is my most reliable length to measure.

Rearranging the bedroom for feng shui purposes. The office furniture is all going to the Northeast corner. It's so much work moving all this JUNK around! I have to move all the junk before actually moving the furniture. First it was clearing the "don't even try to walk over here" corner to make room for the bed, then moving the d.e.t.t.w.o.h. stuff to another end of the room, so that I can undo more junk from over/under desk and hutch, to move the office furniture to another corner, then move the stuff that goes with it. Then.. the d.e.t.t.w.o.h. to somehow fit in the closet. Maybe. The "stuff" is mostly books and newspapers, paperwork, financial stuff, correspondence, and lots of decorative antique pretties or artsy things. And I'm also moving the altar to the South corner, not the traditional place to put an altar, but the room arrangement doesn't want to accommodate an altar in the North end. The problem now is the very large closet door that is made entirely of mirror. So it's like having two full French doors of mirror, directly facing 1/3 of the foot of the bed. Since you're absolutely positively NOT supposed to have a mirror at the foot of the bed, this means getting some sort of sheer curtain or 2 yards of sheer fabric to drape over one of the two mirror closet doors. It's definitely going to look silly, but I'm not going to risk my relationship with Bear. We've had a tough past couple years, as it is.

Bear called today. We're going to plan an "Us" day next Monday. He called after going wine tasting with mom, joined a wine lovers club, one that requires him to buy a certain number of bottles per year, given a 20% discount and payment of shipping. A wine club! I told him, "It's a sign you're getting old, man" Heehee, when he's old and wrinkly I'll love him twice as much.   

Room rearrangement is officially done. The previous arrangement would ::elbow elbow:: constipate my flow of ch'i. Bwhaahahah...
I went to bed last night after moving the dresser drawer, taking out one drawer at a time and then moving the empty dresser. The fruits of the rearrangement:

oodles of clothes for Goodwill

a massive buttload of unopened tampons to donate to the local chapter of YWCA

Besides "the bag bag", and the "bag bag for plastics", and "the box shelf", there's been many more bags and boxes of non-bag stuff:

"fabric scrap bag"

"fabric non-scraps bag"

junk food that isn't supposed to be eaten during detox phases

things that would have belonged on the dresser had it not run out of room

the box of things NEVER EVER to look at ever again but not to throw away either. And yes, I looked.

oh, and.. found... double stuff Oreos from last Halloween. Aged trans fats, yum mee yumm!

Hair. This would make it 6th day hair. Lately things haven't changed much. The entire routine has gone back to the usual weekly CO with ACV rinse, because there's still ACV left. I wore it loose to work today. Also took some hair pictures by the window after coming home. The only problem is the bunk in the background with two mattresses- hopefully I'll find something to drape over it next time. Golly, the more pictures I take, the more my hair looks hip length. The sarong is covering my hipbones, but the hair is longer than the top of the sarong. Hm..

Oh my goodness, Anais! I swear your hair is more beautiful everytime I see a new pic! Its absolutely lovely, right down to the ends! 

Your hair is so beautiful. And it looks hip length to me. 

Thank you Gabi, (Gabi, I'm so glad you liked Medusa!) Atlantis, Khrome, Galadriel, NRogue

  If it weren't for super sweet comments like these, I think many of us would have cut off our hair a long time ago. LL is such a supportive community 

Hugs and blessings

Washed hair with Pure-A-Teas Green Tea, ACV rinse, Suave M&H, and KLG cone. wet combed until damp, then took a picture when the hair was ALMOST dry. Voila! I really am at hip length at the longest layers. The cropped bottom edge of the photo is right above the crack of my bum.
Hip length was my original goal when I joined Longlocks. So... this means...I've met a goal that I set a long time ago that I changed after long months of consideration that I'll go back to calling a goal because I met it! Okay, okay, a M-I-L-E-S-T-O-N-E.
