--A pile of papers that is so much smaller than it used to be but which still covers most of the desk.
--Small herds of dog hair grazing languidly across the vast wasteland of the hardwood floor.
--A wall of books that inexplicably continues to grow in spite of the fact that I stopped buying books several years ago.
--The backyard, still covered with snow except for a few places where the grass has finally started to peek through.
--The records in my collection that don’t fit in the living room.
2. How do you style your hair?
First I wash, rinse and repeat. Then I add a healthy amount of conditioner that I leave in for a few minutes so it has a chance to soak in all the way to the roots and then rinse that out as well. Once I’m out of the shower, I carefully squeeze out as much water as I can and then use a hair dryer set to low to finish drying it. When it’s all dry, I add a little styling gel to give it that mussed and tussled look. When I'm done, I admire my work proudly in the mirror and remember I haven’t had any hair for the past seven years.
