True Beauty ;-)

That is a pic of me at age 15 in my school uniform. Told you true beauty looks like I USED to huh??  I started dating DH not long after this pic was taken. I kept my hair long for about another year and a half. Then Dh said he thought I ought to cut my hair..my future SIL was a hairdresser at a well known salon in Oxford and they wanted to use me as a model for before and after shots. I had to go to some seedy damn photographers studio and had to wear only a sheet wrapped around me so my shoulders were bare.. the photos were phenominal I looked like Twiggy afterwards..of course I didn't ask for copies... DH came to the door to pick me up..took one look at my hair and turned round and left!!!! My dad wasn't very happy either!!  I have had short hair though ever since... I love it now it's easy to manage..so that's the story of my hair and who true beauty looks like...

It's raining.. can't tell you what that means to us Floridians!! We love the rain.. we don't have to water out yards!! I just got my water bill..$170 for 3 months...hey that just gave me an idea..we ought to do an entry on the cost of living in our area...hmmm... will work on that one..you know things like the price of gas (gasp) electricity bills, loaf of bread, gallon of milk median house prices.. stop back and I will have an entry on that soon...;-)

here's my to do list for today:

Pay Bills

Call Vet. make appt. for cadet for shots. (shhhh)

Call exterminator...(love saying that he he)

Take Ryan to get wires off braces

Take Ryan to have teeth cleaned

Take Ryan  back to have new wires put on

Call long distance and make sure we have cheap rates to Italy

Call about getting high speed ;-)

Clean house

Do Laundry

Sort out my Netflix ( I suck at choosing movies any suggestions)

Catch up on Alerts and comments

I had short hair once, it's not as easy to handle when you have naturally curly hair, well unless you don't care that it's frizzy and wild...so it'd end up taking me longer to do it than when it's longer! There are women who look amazing with short hair and you're one of them! It just seems to suit you! :)

You have fun today, lots of things to do for you!!!

You really did look gorgeous with your beautiful long hair, however I agree it`s so much easier to keep.  Mine was long until Kerry was about 7 mths and then I`d had enough and had the lot cut off.  Since then it`s been long and short depending on how I felt at the time.  I had it cut again last week and I think that`s the last time it will ever be long again, I`m too old for it now...lol!  Wow, you are a busy bee today, there`s always something that has to be done. :o)

Lovely picture!  Isn't youth wonderful?  dh should have thought before telling you to get your hair cut huh?  That's a pretty funny story.
$170 for 3 months of water is cheap!  We pay around $65 a month.  Sometimes as much as 75.  Booooo.
