Update

I got decisive. The hair is cut. I bought a cute new Winbook (loved my old Winbook until it started to die, and this one is only 4.3 pounds--yes, the screen is small, but even though I know I'm supposed to care about screen size, well, I don't). (If you're keeping track at home, Jenny wins.)

In phantom email news, while I was away last week, two of the non-answered emails were answered, with good result. Unfortunately, the woman who owes me money has not responded to email, snailmail, or voicemail. Because I am anxious that way, I called a mutual friend to find out if something terrible had happened to her. Nope. Indeed, the mutual friend is having coffee with her on Monday--and I'm going to just happen to bump into them at the cafe...

Finally, E decided not to wear the schoolgirl dress on the first day of school. She was worried it would look weird. Instead she wore a striped orange, red, and pink t-shirt dress of M's under a blue tank top with a silver star on it. And pink crocs. And her newly-cut-but-still-pink-at-the-ends hair in bunches that she made herself. I'm just hoping the bunches are messy enough that people will assume that she made them herself, rather than assuming that she has a hair-incompetent mother who would let a girl go to school looking like that...
