FAQ

Why is your blog named whoorl?

In a nutshell, whirl is a good description of me, my thoughts, my outlook. Unfortunately, whirl.com was taken. My husband suggested the idea of whoorl, using my pink glasses for the two o’s in my first banner. There you have it.

How did Hair Thursday get started?

The seed was planted here and I got the go-ahead here.

Are you really as anal as you portray yourself?

Who, me? Anal?

The answer is yes and no. I am completely lax about some things, such as the chair next to my bed that has 2 weeks worth of clothing piled up. Or my car that currently has 14 bird shit explosions all over it.

However, I am COMPLETELY anal about two things. Germs and tardiness. The germ thing is deeply rooted from my brush with a medical book early on, only to escalate when I began my career as a pharmaceutical rep 9 years ago. If you spent hours of your day touching sickly doorknobs, you’d be the same way. I own around 10-15 bottles of Purell and wash my hands more than most. Don’t even ask about hand-washing when I am preparing raw beef or chicken. We’re talking astronomical numbers, people.

That being said, living with a toddler has really lessened my germ issues. (As she licks her finger and wipes off Wito’s face.)

As for tardiness, arriving late to an appointment gives me heart arrhythmias. Period.

What is it like carrying around a 10-month-old who weighs 26 pounds all day long?

It’s really fun! Especially when it feels like teeny tiny ants are crawling up and down my spine. Anyone out there a chiropractor?

Update: Thank God Wito learned to walk.

I’m bored and need MORE ANSWERS from you. Can you help me out?

Sure! Here you go.
