School vacation week is wild, haha! The Mr and I “divided and conquered” (although, I think Lil Momma is the one winning!) and I’m picking up after his early week bowling, roller skating, and friends at the arcade activities for a couple of girls shopping and hang out days! 

Recently on social media, I saw this “trend” where people are directed to search for specific terms on Pinterest and share what the first results are as a kind of algorithm-based self-assessment. Now, I only Pinterest in times of need (the night before a hair appointment, a quote emergency, birthday bake ideas, etc.), but I had to try it and see what I got back:


It’s wild, right? I feel eerily seen and intrigued by what “patterns” pop up from what and how and when I search for things (but, also slightly weirded out by that). 

Did you see or do this trend? Did it get you or was it wildly off?

    Hahaha, that's some wild stuff! I love the hair - is that Emmy Rossum?
    I hadn't heard of that trend. But I'm always out of the loop on social media!

      That is Emmy Rossum! I always forget she has curls, haha. I'm so not with the times.

    This is fun! It is quite scary how well The Algorithm knows us, though.

      That is the other side of it, right? I read a Substack about The Algorithm and what you get shown (and what you don't) recently and it is HAUNTING me, oof.

    No, I haven't seen that trend. I like the quote you got. I use Pinterest so seldom, I doubt it would do much for me- but I'll try it anyway- could be interesting!

      I literally only use it in random moments of need, which probably explains my random results haha!

  I am having one of   those work weeks that just beat you up . Vague asks that do n’t make sense, changing timelines and details, being behind the ball but not having any way to get ahead… Sigh, this is not when I shine. However, I had my personal pity party last night and am trying to let the stress go and do what I can do with what I have when I have it.   For this week, I wanted to ramble away about  Lil Momma’s audition for a special production class  at her musical theater school as it took up most of our energy last weekend:   Lil Momma went in strong on Saturday am and was so ready with her bit of song and good attitude. With both us knowing more than half the auditioners would NOT make it in, I tried to balance my car ride pep talk with real talk ride to the studio, for sure.    When I picked her up, she was devastated, unfortunately, because a bunch of the younger kids and some of the competition team kids had gotten a callback for that ...

to chop or not to chop?

  This was the first week with everyone a certain level and above   going back into the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays   and oof, it was a lot. I have been going in on Tuesdays and Thursdays for well over a year – the Mr thought I should get out of the house more and the change in scenery and ability to “leave” work did me good – but, this change of energy with so many people and so much noise and all the wild energy and feelings coming off everyone about the change was exhausting…   …and, then there’s my hair.   My hair washing schedule worked really well with my Tues / Thurs in office days. For context, I have curly hair down barely to my shoulders. I treat my curls with fear and respect. I try to only wash my hair 2-3 times a week as not to wash all the $$ I spend on dyeing it down the drain and not to dry out my curls. On days where I don’t wash it, half the time I end up spraying it down with water and recurling it (even though they don’t look amazing, i...

One  It’s a chop, but not a wild one! And, an explanation (which was more of a win, haha!)… I had gone to the same place to get my hair done for 10 years up until 2 years ago. When they dyed my hair, it would burn my scalp and I’d get a rash on my forehead and ears, but they said it was just because I was sensitive. Apparently, the dye was too intense chemically and impacted my curl pattern as well. SO, my stringy, knotty, gross ends were the damage from those years, while the hair above is healthier because of the better for me dye I get at the place I have now.  I HAD 2 DIFFERENT CURL PATTERNS GOING ON ON THE SAME STRANDS OF HAIR?!?!?!  No wonder it / I was a mess. My mind was blown! I told her to cut off all the damage and am so much happier with it. Though, it still doesn’t work for day 2 in office, so I guess my next adventure will be to see if my roots stay mostly bearable if I’m washing my hair 2-3 times midweek…   Two  Next week is school vacation here....
