12 Inches Less Hair. . . [Nov. 11th, 2008|01:43 pm]
[mood | lightheaded]



An online acquaintance of mine found out that her mom had cancer a few months ago.  She has been asking folks to donate their hair in her mom's name.  Here's mine.

Pictures of my actual head coming soon.

  • 11:38 is up and planning her day, including her first cup of tea. #
  • 12:19 is drinking Choice English Breakfast tea and is testing almond milk in it. Another blog post coming soon! #
  • 13:32 is confused. Ping.fm just did something weird to my update. #
  • 13:34 @TeaEscapade I know what you mean about not being able to get away from the keyboard long enough to make a cup of tea! #
  • 13:35 @lilitu93 I am not normally one for milk in tea, but it can be nice for breakfast or in chai. The almond milk is very interesting. #
  • 14:12 @TeaEscapade Gosh, that sounds really, really good! #
  • 14:13 @lilitu93 I think it depends on the quality of the milk and where it comes from. #
  • 14:14 @lilitu93 Also, it may be a problem with the water that you use for your tea? Maybe chemicals + milk causes a strange taste? #
  • 14:15 @TeaEscapade Oh, gosh, that does sound good. So many teas, so little time! #
  • 16:07 just posted a review of @Teavana 's Formosa Nut Oolong: ping.fm/cJ9MC #
  • 16:11 @TeaEscapade The grand thing about tea is that just doesn't cost so much. No calories, too! #
  • 16:19 @znmeb "penis pill spam" might not be necessary if there were invisible hands. ;-) #
  • 16:20 @TeaEscapade Quite so! Tea makes everything better. #
  • 18:53 is having some wonderful pu'erh. #
  • 18:54 @znmeb Going fabulously. Writing up a tea-storm. How are you? #
  • 18:54 @znmeb BTW, if you would ever be interested in guest blogging a tea review, let me know! #
  • 18:58 @sugarrae I think that online degrees have moved forward in acceptance, partly because more and more people are getting them... #
  • 18:58 @sugarrae contin: . . .and partly because more and more brick and mortar schools are offering online degrees or classes. I also think . . . #
  • 18:59 @sugarrae contin: . . .that once people try an online course and realize that it is a viable way to learn, they will be more accepting. #
  • 19:10 @polychronicles Wow. . .that sounds like fun! #
  • 19:10 @fivehusbands That sounds so good...(roast and mashed potatoes). #
  • 20:15 really, really loves to cook. Really. #
