Cluckingham Palace: April 2008

give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair

shining, gleaming
streamin', flaxen, waxen

Yep I am off to the hairdresser today. Not sure what to get done. My hair is just so long now - but SOOO straight!

It looks horrible cut short - been there done that. It is just too straight and fine. I think I will get at least 3 inches off it - of course I say that now being all brave - and will get there and chicken out to half an inch *LOL* Even though I have not had it cut in over 6 months - it actually has no split ends - and does not even need cutting - maybe a tidy up so the bottom is even.

I just want something different. It is all one length at the moment - maybe I will go back to having shorter stuff at the front.............. no not a mullet!!

Ok adding this again - typepad is playing up and it was there... and now its gone!

Anyway! ch ch ch changes!

Had over 4 inches cut off.. in some cases nearly 12 inches cos now it is all layered out!

Feels so much lighter!! and will be cooler too.

Here is a pic from the front. No I did not get it coloured - it was just so much darker underneath - it almost looks like it has been dyed brown *LOL* It will all lighten once I am out on the boat, swimming and in the sun.

Sorry about the nasty face - I had been at the gym - no makeup and hot!

Spendy Enabling Wendy

did it again. Look what she made me buy yesterday!!

Ok Ok I will be fair. I had to buy a new All in One.

My old one was still working and printing fine - however it had stopped scanning and copying. That also meant I could receive faxes but not send.

I tried and tried to do without the extra bits - but every day there would come a time I needed those other services.

We had tried to fix it by taking off the class and cleaning both it and the rods - all of that was fine - turns out the scanner bulb had gone. Had no luck finding a replacement bulb - apart from discovering it would be $80 at least if we found one. So I bought the whole new shebang for $179 and this one has a sheet feed on top which is cool. So far it is working beautifully!

So what is she going to make me buy next week??

A house??? to hold my retreats in???

Wellll... maybe... sorta... thinking about it... kidding sorta ... not... will see what the numbers crunch to.

Have a crop here this afternoon - 8 of us today - I am going to go through all my digital pics (well as I have twenty katrillion, will start anyway).

Hope to get them sorted and renamed then as I go delete and organise and crop and fix them.

I blame Wendy!!

she is such an enabler and so far this week she has cost me money nearly every single day *LOL*

Tuesday ... well I would have done this anyway cos I visit her sister Carol's blog - but I donated to her Strut for Mutts cause (challenging all blog readers to head there and give what you can!!). I have put the link there so no excuses. I really want to see her get to the $500 mark and pass it!

Wednesday - well this little picture tells a 1000 words *LOL*.

I decided to join her - not so much for lots of purchasing - but I really like their class kit idea. It is REAL classes with all different products and I think it will be a great addition both to my home crops and my retreats!

Wendy - where are my incentives.. my prizes.. my cruise *rofl*

Yesterday I also bought another Cricut - can I blame her for that....... ok ok it is for my June retreat and I buy 4 a year (so far)

and then today...

I spent a fortune at Niklin's shop on Etsy. It wasn't hard I have to say. I was tempted when I first saw her stuff on Wendy's blog a while back - so headed there this morning.
