Grey Hair & Back Fat

I'm cutting my hair.
I think.
I think I'm cutting my hair.
I have always had short hair and it's always been blonde and I usually wore it messy big loopy curly fun.
And then... I got a bad brain, went through the "change" moved to Oregon got fat and grew long brown and grey hair.
Maybe as a wedding gift for my niece I'll cut my hair, get a dye job and go on a diet!
I bet nobody else is getting her that ☺
Anyway, I think on Mothers Day when my Facebook hacking kid comes over I'm going to have her cut all my hair off, well not all of it as some of you who have known me for many years may remember, the big bald of 94'.
Don't freak out, I left a light bang to soften the whole shaved head look.
Sorry, no pictures.
I'm thinking more of a between the head and shoulders layered bob and maybe even a box of brown.
I just really wish that a good haircut could lift my butt and boobs and do something about my back fat too.
Oh well, I'll let you know what I decide to do and if I do cut it all off I'll post pictures of the process.

Ummm, the gift ideas that started rolling in yesterday were great!
It seems to be the general consensus that homemade is the way to go which I find very interesting considering everyone registers at Target and Maceys.
So be honest with me, are you all suggesting homemade because you know I have a closet full of crocheted knick knacks and shelves full of soap or are you sincere in the thinking that homemade is better?
Remember, you still have until Wednesday to play and if you're the winner YOU can be the lucky recipient of some goods from the craft closet!

I have to go do the dishes and list a new soap.

Peas.

  2. I was thinking that the picnic basket would be good, especially if you add a little "brochure" or something of all the places in their new city to enjoy it.

    I've never had a wedding shower, but on the flip side of your question, I found it most helpful when people gave me stuff from my baby registry when I had baby showers. That being said, my actual favorite gift was a handmade blanket. So....?

    Oooooh... what about a handmade blanket??? lol.

    Now here spanks can do wonders ... lol I was thinking in investing in a years worth?

    I love homemade gifts I think they show you put time and effort into the gift instead of stupid gift card that says oh I was at the check out line and look they had all these great gift cards now go find your own gift because I couldn't be bothered to take the time for you ... I know let us know how you really feel Alexis ... lol

  4. I dye my hair. Boy it's a pita. But it's better than being gray at 35. Sigh. Last time I cut my hair was a year ago! I donated to Locks of Love. It's starting to look split endy, so I'm due for a cut I think. I'll be growing it out to donate again, but it takes me 3 years.

    If you wanted to do a mixture of half homemade and half storebought, you can get really cool shower shaving mirrors at Restoration Hardware (we once gave one as a gift - it was on the couple's registry) and places like that - you could get a cute basket and fill it with your soaps, a few wash cloths, and a shaving mirror.

  5. I always said I was going to age naturally...then I started aging and changed my mind,lol! I started finding gray hairs at 19! 19 for goodness sakes! I am currently saving for a face lift,lol!
    The best wedding present we got, 20 years ago,was a large basket done up with goodies like a pair of coffee cups and coffee and hand stitched pillow cases and all kinds of thoughtful goodies, mostly handmade. It was so perfect and wonderful because we had almost nothing starting out.I still have the basket to this day that all that came in.
