thanks for all the nice comments with advice on the hair. i woke up this morning … and it was all good. took me all of 3 minutes to do my hair … even after sleeping on it. which btw … i sleep in a way that my hair never gets smushed. seriously. i’m very concious of not smushing the hair … which is why i can get away with washing it every 2-3 days. lol!

at first it kept catching me off guard … to see this staring back at me when i passed a mirror. but this is what i looked liked for years and years … so it really shouldn’t be that weird. lol! and i love that it took me no time … 5 minutes of blow-drying and scrunching … and a few minutes this morning. i did end up canceling my hair appointment too. i just got a trim a few months ago … so i don’t think i’m in desperate need. plus, i hate spending that much money on my hair. lol! and the fact that it curled up so much … that it actually looks shorter now. so i hate to take much more off.

i asked the girls to take a few pics of me this afternoon … and they ended up taking some with me. they did pretty good with my camera, don’t you think? of course … i tell them where to stand, i zoom it to where it needs to be, and i constantly ask to see what they’re getting. sarah snapped off a bunch of me and alyssa … and then i realized that she had the orange soccer cones in the corner of the pics. lol! so we moved those and tried again. but i’m glad we did these today. nice to get the camera out too … i have been terrible about taking pics lately. i think it’s the weather … i’m terrible at indoor photos. but now that it’s been gorgeous outside (i think today was 70 degrees … please don’t be mad at that! lol!) … i know i’ll be out for photos more.

and i just had to prove that this was what i always looked like. for some reason, this was the only photo that came to mind … i’m not in a lot of photos. and i totally stole this picture from heather’s blog … which i’m sure she won’t mind because i do have this saved somewhere … i’m just too lazy to find it (and yet i spend 10 minutes searching her blog for it. lol!). this photo was from about 2 1/2 years ago … back when we taught at a scrapbook expo for paperkuts magazine. we had to laugh at this … a few people actually asked us to autograph our spreads in the magazine (we conveniently ended up on the same pages). that was such a fun time! so yeah … i was a little tanner, the hair was a little longer, and i was quite a bit thinner. lol! but really, i look the same … right?!?! lol!

back tomorrow with a little scrapbooking share. the one i told you i was sharing 2 weeks ago. lol! guess i had the dates written down wrong … so i promise, tomorrow!

    Your hair looks TERRIFIC! The pics with the girls are cute! They did a GREAT job taking the shots! My hair gets curly like that too but I wear it straight. I think I re-visit the 90’s BIG hair when I go curly so I stay away! LOL!! Will be watching for the new LO!! Wanna see these pics of you & the girls scrapped too!

    Well, very happy to see that you look so well and beautiful, even if for me it doesn’t matter if you have hair or not, what is elementary is that you feel good in your mind… (I do not know if it has a sense in english). The photos with your dauthers are so cool that I want to make same with my sons in my garden ! lol
    Have a great day and hoping that your hair are going to grow very quickly.

    Cute hair!!! You look great! And the fact that you feel cute is the cherry on top! I wish I had an ounce of natural curl to my hair.

    laura – i love it! it looks so cute! and great that it is so easy!
    btw – i am so intrigued by the fact that you shower at night! it is so interesting to hear about other people’s schedules and how they do things! i guess i just never thought about doing it at night, but seems like a good idea so you don’t have to do it in the morning! i just don’t know if it would work for me cause my hair is stick straight but gets kinked a lot when i sleep….. hmmmmm.

    I love the autograph picture…that’s too cute. You’re a supa-star!
    Oh, and BTW, I got the Embellish Magazine today. You didn’t tell me that you had the first LO in there! I was oohing and aaahing and saying, “She didn’t tell me she was right up front”. Congrats on the LO’s!!!

    Love the hair – when i grow mine out – thats what i have to do -diffuse to get some curl because i don’t want to take the time to straighten it. It really does look great! I wish i could go that long without washing too – i’m maxed at 2 days! Saw your layouts in Embelish last night – super cute! I’m in there with you!!
