Mom's Day & New 'Do

On Mother's Day as I was changing Lm, I noticed that it got very quiet. Lk usually chooses these moments to sneak food. He's very crafty. He can reach high up to everything now and when he gets what he wants, he just hides in a corner or behind a chair and chomps away to his heart's content if I have my eye turned for even a second. So after changing Lm I found this:


My beautiful mom got beautiful roses on Mother's Day...











When my folks got home from church, the boys and I gave mom her gifts: a gift card to a bookstore and glut/en-free food from an expensive food store.



Then Mom gave me a gift from "the boys" of flowers to plant in my front yard...


...and a nice necklace.


Yesterday was my mother's day gift to myself. I took the day off work and had my hair cut and highlighted, which cost a staggering $120 which is a lot for a tightwad like myself. I've always liked Heather's hair so I asked her where she got it done, and she referred me. The pics below suck and don't do it justice but the cut is really sleek as it's so thick and hard to deal with; this really lightens it up. Plus the highlights bring more dimension to it.

I think I'll try the POF site everyone is telling me about; it's free, why not? So if my gentle readers would vote for one of the following pics below OR for none of them and a different one be taken, I'd appreciate it.

Definitely not the third, that's very blurry on my computer. i like the first or the fourth probably the fourth most.
Hair looks great!!! Wow!

The fourth it is then! Maybe that one and the one Heather took of me with Luke over the summer.

I like the 1st one for sure! #4 would be 2nd. Love your new look! Your cute cut shapes your face just right!

I mentioned to you awhile back that I met Jason (when I was pregnant with Hannah) on POF. We dated for about 5 months and than later found out he was a control freak that was so very obsessed and paranoid that I was seeing someone else! I just couldn't deal with it.

Sounds like you had a very nice Mother's Day, despite the rain.

What a FABULOUS Mother's Day you had! It is so nice to see that there REALLY are people who get to enjoy the day! How very thoughtful of your mom!!!!

What a great gift to yourself.

I'd say the first and fourth. The first one, because you look sweet, and the fourth one because you look more city-like.

You need to turn up your "brightness" or "contrast" though after you download your pics. The lighting is a bit dark.

I'm a pro at this, and I'll forward to you my other comments.
