Oh my goal as a teenager was to have Barbra Streisand’s curly perm. It was the easiest hair ever. I would just wet it and use the pick, oh so 70s. Well, I got to college in the 80s, and all the girls had long hair. So much for my Barbara style. We all want to fit in. Not so sure about the evangelicals though. The rods don’t seem to care what the hell they look like. But I did just hear Jinger say that Jeremy paid for someone to come over and help her do make up. Ha. Remember when she was orange and had a curly perm and raccoon eyes. That was not the look that the preacher wanted.

I don’t care if they have 20 backslashes, I just want each kid to eat one whole pie themself.

I have been blonde for most of my life. During Covid I decided to let it grow out. It was just wonderful when it was half-and-half. 😆 it finally all grew out to natural brown and I am only 10% gray. My mother-in-law absolutely hates it. I also had it cut shorter, but she still says it’s too long. She says it should be lighter and grayer. Yeah hello, why would I do that? She even went as far as to say that I look like a hooker! Good grief. Anyway, everyone has an opinion on hair. It should be what you are comfortable with, not what everyone else thinks is good. Still not sure Joy knows what she’s doing though. I don’t get the sudden need for dark hair when that’s not even her natural color. But at least it’s not still down to her butt. It’s definitely an improvement from those days. but I don’t think Austin is as controlling as everyone thinks he is. She seems fine with trying out new things, and he doesn’t really seem to care much. I’m still holding out hope for Jennie to grow up and find her style. Right now she is very plain in the plain skirts. I think she would be a perfect blonde. I hope she experiments with that because I think she really is quite pretty.

I think it looks really nice when she’s all dressed up. But she was at the gym today and she just had a plain part down the middle with it pulled back. That did not look right at all.

Jonathan looks like a big douche with his hair greased back like that. Why can’t he just wear normal hair? Are we supposed to be so openly gleeful as great Christians? Where is the empathy for the other side?

So basically, without the Lord, Jill is crap.

Jill said that she might get tattoos, not ruling it out. Probably something to do with the babies she lost. I think she’s in a really happy place. The two oldest are going to school, she seems to love being home with the little one. She cooks every day and seems to make some interesting international dishes. Plus she loves gardening. That’s a lot more than her mother ever did at that age, or any age.

Surely that top is lined. Why does she need a tank top (not included) underneath it? How are they getting these clothes to fit? Renee has to be a zero, maybe Jill can get on a 14, but not that girl, or any of the others.

I know, Jill Dillard does Halloween. Any of the other second generation?

I think the color is a little too dark, but at least I like the length and the waves at the bottom. Now she has to put on darker eyebrows, and that must be a pain. I wonder how Austin likes the length? He flipped out when she got it cut shorter than down her butt.

Did anyone see that Joy colored her hair a dark brown with red roots? Her friend did it for her from a box. When it was all done, Joy was crying, and not in a good way. I’m not sure what that was all about. Or what hubby’s reaction might have been. But if anything, she should have gone lighter. Unlike Jinger who just was not made to be a blonde, I think it would’ve looked fantastic on Joy. Just like Jana seems like she could be a natural blonde. i’m really hoping she goes to get it fixed and goes lighter – at a professional salon.

Anna reminds me of a cousin’s wife. She was a country girl, kind of plain, modestly dressed, and popped out three kids immediately. My cousin was an up-and-coming oncologist. Meanwhile, his wife was very dutiful - went to every baby shower, wedding shower, any family event loaded with presents and children. Well, he kind of hit it big time. he was the chief of oncology at his hospital, and he ran a camp for children with cancer. First casualty, first wife. it’s not like we didn’t know it was coming. She had a homemade dress for her wedding, and no alcohol. We are Catholics, and my uncle sent his kids out to get alcohol for the wedding. He was also a wealthy doctor, and poor girl just never fit in. Of course in Anna‘s case, her husband was exactly the same as her, except for his despicable hobbies that landed him in prison. But he did want something else. My cousin found a nice second wife, while stupid Josh found himself in the big house.

Kaylee running does actually show a little weight in her stomach and thighs (like a healthy woman who just had a baby). But that stupid plexus shit only has you losing about 5 pounds during the reset. Hell, I can put on 5 pounds with a good Italian dinner.

Was the skirt taken in by sewing, or is it just pinned to fit her better? No teenage girls at that age weigh 80 pounds. Unless they are incredibly short.

Because he finally became a man! Does anyone remember when girls would wonder if they looked different after having sex? I used to wonder that when I was a teenager and knew someone that had maybe done it. In this case you can tell on Tim! Although with the coffee, he’s got crazy eyes again.
