share with you the OTHER thing you'll notice about me today. <br/> <br/> My hair. <br/> <br/> Or rather, the mistake on top of my head. <br/> <br/> The conversation went something like this: <br/> <blockquote><b>Stylist: </b>"Your hair THEEN." (Lifts limp, lifeless strand in disgust.) <br/> <br/> <b>Me:</b> (frowny face) "What would make it thicker?" <br/> <br/> <b>Stylist: </b>"Go DAHK. Dahk haya ees THEEK. Eet coats strand." <br/> <br/> <b>Me: </b>::blinkblink:: "Rly??"<br/> <br/> <b>Stylist:</b> "YES." <br/> <br/> <b>Me:</b> "Fine."<br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: large;">[One hour and $120.00 later...]</span><br/> <br/> <b>Me:</b> (looking in mirror) "Aaahh!!!"<br/> <br/> <b>Me:</b> (running to drugstore, buying highlighting kit.) "Maybe it will look less, um, SEVERE if I put streaks in it."<br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: large;">[One hour and $11.00 later...]</span><br/> <br/> <b>Me: </b>"Aaaahhhhh!! I look like Tigger!!"<br/> <br/> <b>Me:</b> (running BACK to drugstore, buying more dye) "Must... cover... orange!!"<br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: large;">[One Hour and $6.99 later...]</span><br/> <br/> <b>Me:</b> "Aaaahhhhhh!!!"</blockquote>So you see the theme here to my labor day weekend? Yes? <br/> <br/> Anyway, if you see me, yes, my hair is darker. Yes, I hate it. No, I'm not touching it again. Let it wash out over time. Anyone selling a bridge? If it comes with someone promising nice tresses, I may need you to NOT introduce us. <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"><span class="post-author vcard"> spleened by <span class="fn">me</span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <a class="timestamp-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://spleeness.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-hair-is-reason-you-should-buy-stock.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" title="2011-09-06T21:05:00-04:00">9:05 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> <a class="comment-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1013269523673737144&postID=8428959553329060600" onclick="">2 comments</a> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-action"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=1013269523673737144&postID=8428959553329060600" title="Email Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="13" src="//web.archive.org/web/20110930135109im_/http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_email.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-421235745"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=1013269523673737144&postID=8428959553329060600&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109im_/http://img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-2"></div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-3"><span class="reaction-buttons"> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="latency-8428959553329060600"></div><script type="text/javascript">if (window['tickAboveFold']) {window['tickAboveFold'](document.getElementById("latency-8428959553329060600")); } </script> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class="date-header"><span>Tuesday, August 23, 2011</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class="post-outer"> <div class="post hentry"> <a name="4525413919037739386"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://spleeness.blogspot.com/2011/08/dont-do-it-dont-get-old.html">"Don't do it. Don't get old."</a> </h3> <div class="post-header"> <div class="post-header-line-1"></div> </div> <div class="post-body entry-content"> An older woman stopped me in the hall yesterday. "Don't do it," she said. "Don't get old." Then she hobbled towards the elevator.<br/> <br/> I didn't tell her what I saw. I could tell she looked at me with remembrance of her own youth. A woman who, though her face bore lines, they were marks of kindness and smiling. I thought she was beautiful, her face shining with affection as she stopped to hear about my day and share hers.<br/> <br/> In our society, beauty is power for a woman, but it is a power which inevitably leaks away with age. I wanted to say <i>no, I don't subscribe to that. You are still beautiful to me. Even moreso, as I see your layers of wisdom and I want to learn from them. That's the kind of beauty I want to bask in.</i><br/> <br/> I remember my grandmother at 70 looking in the mirror. "My eyes used to be beautiful," she said sadly. I was only a 'tween then but I stubbornly planted myself in front of her and replied, "Grandma, they are STILL beautiful." And I meant it. I hadn't known her 18-year-old self. I knew her at 70 but she was kind to me. She smiled and this made her beautiful.<br/> <br/> I hate the idea that we are so influenced by beauty in our society that we discard more important traits; those that must be cultivated and not just part of a genetic lotto. <i>People</i> magazine lists the 100 best people of the year, why only the symmetrically-blessed? Why no scientists, authors, inventors? The public face of America should include those that DO, not just those that ARE.<br/> <br/> I have complicated feelings about plastic surgery. I support the desire to restore oneself to a previous state or repair damage, ease pain, solve a problem or correct something but if someone is doing it because they think they're not pretty enough, it makes me sad. It's even more aching when it's obvious, it's like wearing that insecurity on our redone faces. I wish people could know how beautiful they are when they smile and laugh and feel content.

Many of my clients initially see this as irresponsible. They believe virtuous work means getting all tensed up and doing things they loathe. This is simply unsound marketing. My first and last sales principle is this: Love sells better than hate. Find a way to package what you can't stop doing, as in "Look! I love to raise my paw! So I'll use it to point out game, and we'll both be happy!" <br/> <br/> "One of the best life coaches I've ever trained started on her career<br/> path not knowing there was such a profession. She had just one objective-to get paid for reading self-help books. Her joy and intelligence make her a brilliant problem solver. I've used her myself-she's wildly expensive and worth every penny.<br/> <br/> "Use the work-like-a-dog principle to make your career and time-budgeting decisions. Should you go back to school? Only if it makes you salivate with desire. Should you stay home with your children? Yes-if the thought makes you feel as though someone's rubbing your tummy. Would you rather have a job? Don't apologize, just go ahead and work.

Here's what he said:<br/> <br/> The problem with bedbug infestations is exploding. This is because they're so easily transferable:  people can get them from the oddest places (not just hotels but even luggage racks in the underbelly of a flight or on a train). So, inspect your bags when you travel and inspect the mattress. Peel back the sheets. Bedbugs usually come out at night and it can be hard to see them but look instead for the evidence of their presence: little red and black dots of the telltale bedbug blood regurgitate.<br/> <br/> Also, pay attention to the local news for information -- a movie theater near a relative's house in NJ had an outbreak of bedbugs. Last thing you need is to bring home anything besides the memories of a fun time out. <br/> <br/> Brought to you by the Your Spleen Belongs to You (and NOT Bedbugs) Department! <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"><span class="post-author vcard"> spleened by <span class="fn">me</span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <a class="timestamp-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://spleeness.blogspot.com/2011/06/advice-about-bedbugs-from-pest-control.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" title="2011-06-02T21:42:00-04:00">9:42 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> <a class="comment-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1013269523673737144&postID=7549051723898351209" onclick="">4 comments</a> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-action"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=1013269523673737144&postID=7549051723898351209" title="Email Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="13" src="//web.archive.org/web/20110930135109im_/http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_email.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-421235745"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=1013269523673737144&postID=7549051723898351209&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109im_/http://img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-2"></div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-3"><span class="reaction-buttons"> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="latency-7549051723898351209"></div><script type="text/javascript">if (window['tickAboveFold']) {window['tickAboveFold'](document.getElementById("latency-7549051723898351209")); } </script> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class="date-header"><span>Tuesday, May 3, 2011</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class="post-outer"> <div class="post hentry"> <a name="4382255349797009148"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://spleeness.blogspot.com/2011/05/actual-conversation-while-packing.html">Actual conversation while packing:</a> </h3> <div class="post-header"> <div class="post-header-line-1"></div> </div> <div class="post-body entry-content"> <blockquote><b>Me:</b> "Wait!

While packing today, I glanced out the window while carrying one particularly heavy object across the room and my eyes settled immediately on the one oddity in the environment: a youngster, about 12 years old, hunched over in my driveway, thumbs hooked in pants, slowly undressing. I leaned forward and put down the box: <i> wha--? There is a complete stranger in the driveway, and omg, is he going to PEE on my car??</i><br/><br/>I ran outside. "Excuse me, can I help you?"<br/><br/>He whirled around and looked at me blankly while fussing with his pants.<br/><br/>I stopped beating around the bush. "Um, what are you doing?"<br/><br/>He blinked. "My jeans are ripped really bad and I can't wear them anymore. I'm part of the youth non-incarceration project and we are selling cookies to raise money to help kids stay off the streets." He showed me a probably-bogus flyer.<br/><br/>My first thought: <i>not undressing in stranger's driveways is a good first step away from future incarcerations</i>. Second thought: <i>can they use this money to buy you some new pants?</i><br/><br/>I started to say these things but then I noticed he was selling CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies.<br/><br/>My brain went blank.<br/><br/>The transformation was instantaneous: my entire cerebrum shifted into one giant food-acquiring lobe. It only took one cocoa-seduced blink for me to turn completely into Homer Simpson.<br/><br/>Obviously, this shift has serious implications for the self-preservation instinct: the brain cannot calculate risk at the same time as entertaining the fantasy of chocolatey goodness gliding down the throat, and so I bought an unmarked bag of cookies.<br/><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109/http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--3_UCxvOvbc/TauhGduMRWI/AAAAAAAAFiA/4vS7GqkB4oY/s1600/jeans.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20110930135109im_/http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--3_UCxvOvbc/TauhGduMRWI/AAAAAAAAFiA/4vS7GqkB4oY/s400/jeans.jpg.jpg" width="300"/></a><br/>For $10.<br/><br/>From a half-naked 12-year old undressing in my driveway.<br/><br/>(He WAS wearing shorts, or at least boxers that passed for shorts....)<br/><br/>The cookies could have been glazed with arsenic, dipped in iridium, baked with hepatitis-A contaminated water and lovingly swiped between the ass cracks of multiple 'tween thugs before being bagged and yet I didn't care. I needed cookies. And I needed them immediately.<br/><br/>And so I had them. I had been dreaming of something sweet all day (disappointed yet relieved that the kitchen's only contents consisted of a bag of brussels sprouts, an expired box of raisins, some balsamic vinegar, and calcium pills).
