Chiarian headaches are the worst!

Secret Angel / Santa time again...

What is a Secret Angel / Santa?
It's where you give (virtual) gifts to someone else in the group... via me, the moderator. & Then someone will be providing me gifts to give to you as well! It's all done in SECRET! (Trust me it's much easier than you think!)

I've already had a few ask if we're going to do something this year. I was going to say no... but then this morning some ideas fluttered through my head & so, I wrote them down.. & I'll be posting a sign up blog on the group site, shortly! :)

So, if you're interested in participating this year & you're not already a member... hurry up & get & click this link ~~~> The Secret Angels & click "Join Group"!!! ;o)

Then watch for blogs from me in that group! :)

There are SIMPLE RULES / TIPS in the welcome box via the link above.

In the blog I will post shortly I'll give a bit of a description of what we'll be doing. It's going to be very much like the past couple years. And we'll be doing the 12 days of Christmas & a Reveal Blog Party.

So, hurry on over & join the group (if you're not already!)... because the deadline to sign up will be 11:59pm Thursday 12-10-09.

This blog is NOT the sign up... please wait until I post the blog about how to sign up... IN THE GROUP!! It's going to be a tad different!!! You can reply to this blog with questions or anything... but if you sign up here, it will NOT be counted!! (You'll see why when the sign up blog is posted over on the Secret Angels site!!!) :)

P.S. Feel free to pass the link to the group on to your friends. You can even link to this blog, if you wish! The more the merrier!! :o)

ARGH I can't get logged into Facebook!! ARGH!! Can't even cross post from here!! ARGH!!!

I gone & did it! I cut my hair... SHORT!!!

This is one of them blogs where I'm posting it really for my dad... but I know others want to see too!

The day before Thanksgiving I finally got the nerve up to go get my haircut really short... & So, Hubby drove me (because we've agreed I shouldn't drive until... well, probably not until after I have the surgery or get medicine to stop the feeling of faint all the time.)

Anyway... I did this because IF I am going to be having the decompression surgery for my Chiari Malformation they will shave a bit of the hair in the center of the back of my head... and so, I didn't want to have to deal with having to cut my hair (to make it look ok) after that & be devastated by having short hair... So, I put it in my own hands to have short hair.

Honestly... it's actually a nice change of pace. I've NEVER had my hair this short!!! I like it... for now! ;)

Here's the "before"...

& The after.......


In case you're wondering that was about 7 inches... Which means that since September I've cut off approximately a total of 17 inches of my hair! YIKES!!!

Here's one more picture...
It's from when I got home & took out the little bit of the "poofy" that the stylist put in. And it can show you that the back is really really SHORT... I mean... IT'S SHORT!!! But I'm liking it.

Another reason I cut it so short was because I needed it off the back of my neck. And it will be easier for me to take care of. For someone who can't stand long in the shower, washing & rinsing long hair does not cut it. (No pun intended... really!) ;)

Now I just need to wait to get the call from my dad to see what he thinks! *giggles*

In all the hustle & bustle... I forgot to wish you all... HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope you had an enjoyable & SAFE day! :)
