Changing and for what?



Funny since when do I follow the direction of others, well I did this week and today I had my beautiful length of hair chopped off which I donated it to locks of love.

It was said that I would have better results finding a job with shorter hair than longer, so this will be a test and I know for a fact I will continue to grow my hair out. As the days move on I have noticed my hair style has made my face more noticeable and the smile that is my trade mark is brighter than ever. No I have no ponytail anymore and the hour of keeping it clean and creme rinsing is gone, doesn't mean I don't miss it, cause I do, I would twirl it when I was nervous.

As soon as I get some alone time, I will doll myself up and show all of you my new haircut, I really do like it, by the way it is a feminine cut :-)


After baking a cake (no frosting), I think I ate four slices from it and the rest I slung out in the backyard, the birds really do enjoy that treat. I love making them happy and well fed, and the best part is they sit on the electrical line above my fathers van and crap cake all over it :-)

That is what I call getting even for chipping my nails.

Today is Mothers day, usually I go to the cemetery with one red rose and spend an hour with my Mom, not today, my truck is acting up so I will talk to her here because she is always with me. Every time I go to the cemetery I end up crying and be depressed the rest of the day so I will avoid this at all cost. Twenty five years ago she was laying asleep in her hospital bed, she escaped the pain finally. Cancer ate her up, nothing anyone could do, she fought it for 18 months. This lady was amazing, with a MBA only to be a house wife, mother and my best friend. Some days I can go without thinking about her, but days like today (Mothers Day) I have her on my mind.

The job hunting has been so depressing, I even went back to looking for maintenance and plumbing positions just so I can pay some bills. Hopefully some company gives me a chance soon.


Well I guess I will go watch the birds poop on my dad's van, that is the most entertaining thing I can do now besides fluff my hair.

I spent nights in the hospital with one Grandmother as she lost that horrific battle after 4 rounds of it over 10 years; 4 years later it was my Dad. Since, one of his older and younger brothers have lost it; the only surviving one is fighting it now. Each time I get sick or have a weird lump or bump turn up, I figure it's my turn.

If you need help troubleshooting the truck, you have my e-mail!

Someone told me the other day it would take 100 apps to end up with a job. I've only put in about half that, so I guess I'd better get busy!

It's not us, my friend, it's the economy...don't let it get to you!

Hope you had fun watcing the birds!

Sis, it was your decision to cut your hair. I don't know what anyone else said, but all I said was that the long hair might be a factor in your getting interviews but no further. I'm not there in the room. I have no idea if you interview well or if your skill set is up to date (we've discussed this before) or if there are other factors involved. I just figured that if people keep seeing you but turning you down for reasons you can't figure out, then maybe you remove one "controversial" factor (in these conservative times) and things might improve.

It was a guess. And you decided it was worth a try. I hope it really does help! I know it must have been really difficult to cut your hair. Fortunately, it does grow back. I'm glad you like your short do!

BTW, I hate to be a killjoy, but although it's good for birds to eat, it's not good for them to eat cake. They need nutrition like in seeds.

Always your sis, for better or for worse!
