ready to donate!

So they did it, they got their hair cut and it looks super cute.  T wanted her's cut too so after a bit of running around we went and got it done. 

The back story is I have a friend on facebook and her best friend's daughter has brain cancer, I was looking at her pictures on her page prayers for caryn and Edd asked why she didn't have any hair.  I told her and she said she wanted to cut her hair and give it to her.  Awww.....how sweet, this was a few months ago and she's been talking about it since.  She wants to cut her hair and give it to her.  I told her that Caryn already got a wig.  But she wouldn't give up so we went to the hair salon and got it cut.

 Edd got about 10-11 inches to give and because Edd was doing it T had wanted to donate hers too.  She was able to get 9 inches.  As you can see Edd has so much hair than T, it looks like Edd's hair looks 4 times more than T's but that doesn't matter because they both feel good about donating.  I'm so proud of them.  Oh and this isn't Edd's first time donating her hair, she's done it before.

I think I'll send it to Pantene.

 If you're brave enough you too can cut and donate your hair to.

donating her hair again

Edd came to me after her bath and told me she wanted to get her hair cut and donate it so someone could have her hair who has cancer and lost their hair to Chemo.  She because she doesn't like combing/brushing it anymore. She's donating it again. It's too pretty not to have it on someone's head. Here she is before we got it cut.

The sun been shinning the last few days and T's been pointing out rainbows to me.  Today I finally took out my camera and took a photo of one worth posting.  :-P

ladybug on window sill

I don't know how this little lady(bug) got in my home but it was really feisty and wouldn't be still for me photography it.  I chased it around the window sill, but I still got a few good shots.  Wonder how they end up in home with doors and windows closed up tight in the winter.

TV watching blanket nests

Since there really isn't a place to sit in the living room to lounge about and watch TV, I let the girls bring in their blankets.  On this day they decided to make little nests, too cute.  Love how much bigger T's is over Edd's.

over 20 years ago

The original photo was taken over 20 years ago.  My oldest daughter had her 2nd son and like me had a blond first then a dark head one.  I kept saying that her youngest looks like she did and since we're so far apart now I took a photo of this photo to show her.  Yep, her baby looks like her and she's very happy because her oldest is the spitting image of his poppa.

too many donuts

 We went and brought some donuts, I told each girl that since there were a dozen we could each get 4.  T really too me serious about it and took to taking a few bites out of all of hers as soon as we got home.  Next time I'm going to be more clear and tell her that would be we can each get up to 4 as long as we don't eat them all in one sitting.  LOL

snowmen in livingroom

Looks like the only way we're going to see snowmen this year is like this, sitting on a desktop. I would really like to see more than a dusting of the white stuff this season.

lil diva

My beautiful daughter!  Okay I know that everyone thinks their daughter(s) are beautiful and you know what they're right.  We are all bias when it comes to our children.  So I make no excuses in thinking that she is beautiful, and so are my other children.

Anywhoo, the afternoon light was coming through the window and she was wanting me to take her photo. Since I was talking about updating my blog more often and trying to do at least a photo a day she has been "ooo, ooo! take my picture!"  She is such a little diva, loving to pose in from of the camera.

Of the ones that I took I like this one the best.  I can't decide if I like it more in color or black & white.  Tell me what you think, which way do you like it more?

chilling like a cat

But what else do cats do better then chill?  Hanging out and just chilling....like I said before, it's good to be a cat!

pedi courteous of my daughter

Getting a pedi courteous of my 7 yr old daughter who got some play make up from her Aunt B.  Ya I know I got funky feet and really really need a real pedi.  Not going to happen until at least spring time when my toes are seen all the time.  My sneakers and boots really don't care what my toes look like.

view from my kitchen window

View from my kitchen window,  I can't wait until summer so we can just walk over and go swimming, one of the benefits of living in an apartment complex.  Jan 2 is just a bit to cold to go swimming in Maryland.  LOL

pork for good luck

New Year, so I've decided that I'm going to *try* to take a photo every day once again.  I kind of fell off the wagon last year doing the photo thing, so I'm going to climb back up and start doing it again.  I've changed the name a bit too to also in corporate my other ~neglected~ photo blog.  So they'll have the same watermarks on the in case I decide to use them on that blog too.

Have you ever heard of what to eat on the first day of the new year to bring good luck?  It always seem to be with pork of some kind so that's what I made for dinner.  Country pork ribs with apple & onion slices with a little bit of apple cider vinegar, not sure how it's going to taste but it's worth a try.  We'll be having black eyed peas, collared green and cornbread muffins.  A very southern soul-food dinner for good luck.
