TOP SEVEN REASONS I'M CONSIDERING STRAIGHT HAIR
7. There's a new straightening process that supposedly doesn't destroy your hair.
6. Straight hair feels soft & smooth.
5. Hats work better with straight hair.
4. Straight hair recovers from windy days, and we get a lot of wind around here. Curly hair gets blown into a giant ball of frizz.
3. With curly hair, I try to sleep 'carefully' every other night so that I can get away with not washing my hair every morning. Sleeping carefully does not lend itself to restfulness.
2. You can get up in the morning, comb your straight hair, and face the world!
1. Straight hair is not "cute" by default.

CONFLUSION
I am so conflicted.
Of course I will get H1N1. I get everything that goes around.
But I don't hear any assurance that getting the vaccination will prevent me from getting H1N1.
Nor do I feel confident that they've properly tested the vaccine, so I'm hesitant to get poked.
I wish that they would put the money into Tamiflu and other virus inhibitors rather than into so much vaccine.

MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
At the end of September, I watched the pilot for The Middle (which refers to living in the middle of nowhere). I knew nothing about it except that Patricia Heaton was part of the cast - I'm a fan of hers.What ended up affecting me was Eden Sher's character, Sue. Around 14 years old, Sue is not good at anything. Sue has tried out for every club, sport, and activity at school, and is finally placed in the school office, making I.D. cards - a club of one.
Poor Sue.
It was painful.
It was like looking in a mirror.
I am so tired of not being good at anything. I don't know why I have this expectation that I should excel in some area. I have worked and worked at giving up the idea, but haven't succeeded there either.
Being good at nagging doesn't count.

DO WE HAVE TIME TO READ THIS BOOK?
Today's Breakpoint recommends Ann Kroeker's Not So Fast.
She quotes John Ortlund:For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so busy and distracted and rushed that we will settle for a mediocre version of it.Read the whole Breakpoint here.
