News in Brief. And no, I am not wearing briefs.

I have approximately one minute to shower or else I will be late, so I will briefly update y'all. (I have to stop reading southern bloggers.)

We did not take the place in Hancock Park for myriad reasons. I know, I am annoying.

I purchased new hair conditioner, as I ran out of the lovely John Freida stuff I bought in bulk before this year. I found some Suave Naturals Refreshing Waterfall Mist conditioner for -- are you ready? -- 99 cents! It has watermint extract and vitamin E! My hair looks ridiculous. Someone at work, without me mentioning my new 99-cent conditioner, said, "I have some extra conditioner I'd like to give you." This is not a good sign.

And finally, we put $450 more into savings, which brings us up to $12,650. Sort of yay. Not as good as we were doing.

Okay, that's it. Off to Suave my head. Theirs does not do what mine did for a lot less, Peppy Whitemore.

You know...if I did not use a good conditioner...a REALLY good conditioner I would have to cut off all my hair. My hair would just turn to straw...and I don't have as much hair as you do. So...I would eat RAMEN noodles for a few weeks so I could afford my good conditioner. By the way, has anyone out there read a REALLY good book recently? If so, could you share with me the title, please?

Suave hair products suck. Good to know. Glad you figured that out so I don't have to. ;-)

It's not that I can't AFFORD good hair conditioner, anonymous, it is that we are spending as little as possible this year. So no Ramen for me. Plus, those Ramens are LOADED with fat.

Sorry I steered you wrong June, but what would I know really about hair. Gone is my luscious golden afro of the 80's I know you so adored. Since the whole "Bald is Fast" days inspired by Kent(aka Coach),and the Army thing I've found that the shorter I keep mine the better. As such, a bottle of Suave usually last me a year. Fortunately for me despite my probable miss treatment it has decided to stay with me all these years. In closing although I applaud your efforts to quell your consumption and expenditures, I do feel that if a certain product, shoe, sandwich, whatever gives you enjoyment and satisfaction, you should not deny yourself. We're not going to take it with us. Hell I nearly died twice last year. Know what I mean?

Oops! I actually meant to write "mistreatment" rather than miss treatment which is a whole other story!
