Hair today, Gone tomorrow

Ok, I can now talk about it as this was a traumatic experience for me. Last week, I cut off 8 inches + of my hair. Why? I don't know. John likes it and that is all that matters I guess. It is only hair and it will grow back. I'll use a quote from Working Girl, "if you want to be taken seriously, you need serious hair."

BEFORE


















AFTER - looks like a mug shot

Portland Marathon Oct. 1st 2006

OK, well I am just WALKING the marathon on Oct. 1st, but it is 26.2 miles regardless. I feel like an old lady 'cause I should be running. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never run a marathon in my lifetime, so this is as close as it gets. I have signed up, committed to it and have done some but not all of the training schedule. Our goal is to finish under 6.5 hours. I will blog the Monday after and report the results w/ pictures. Most of the pictures will be of the blisters on my feet, but it will be worth it.

My Gram

I wrote this about my grandma Ginny back in 2003. Now, to be honest, I wrote 2/3 and stole the other third from an unknown author. Their stuff just fit what I wanted to say better than I could say it.

I was waiting for something special to be able to give it to her. I came across it the other day and figued that I was only going to procrastinate further and maybe never use the opportunity to let her know how special she is to me and our family. So I figured now or never, even if it is a blog entry.

House Project 184

Our weekend Project, last weekend will be our project this weekend as well, yeah! We have a beautiful green- space behind us that for the last three years we have enjoyed, but the time has come. No more sitting outside watching the deer in our backyard.. We will now have a secured perimeter in the back and sides of the house - perfect for a dog, ;) ;) John.
