D.O.N.E.

So. Totally. Done.
More later, I just can't form the sentences right now. I'm irritated & would just ramble. I know you're all just waiting on pins & needles! (all 3 or 4 of you?) :) See, not so bad that I can't still be a smart ass.

L.O.L. Baby!

no, not laugh out loud....Locks of Love!!

Several months ago, fairly out of the blue, Faith announced that she wanted her hair cut. Short. I told her that was fine but we had to wait until after her dance recital (so I could put it up). Since she wanted it so short I asked her if she thought it would be a good idea to make sure her hair was long enough and she could donate it to locks of love for some other little girl that didn't have hair. She thought that was a fantastic idea. (10 inches is the minimum length to donate)

The dance recital was Memorial weekend and she's been asking about her haircut since. I keep asking her different questions to try to make sure she's ready. She is. So, the cut starts!

And here we are, with the 10 1/2 inches in a ponytail no longer on her head!!
And this is the final result. This is only her 3rd haircut in her (almost) 5 years of life. It's such a change! Faith loves it. As of tonight she is thrilled, I just hope she's not sad & missing it tomorrow! I have the Faith-less ponytail in a plastic bag, I just have to get a padded envelope (per the instructions) to mail it in and we will ship it off. I'm so proud of my baby!

The Band Wagon

Well, I guess everyone is hopping on the Tiller band wagon, I might was well too. I thought about leaving a comment over at Julie's but the more I thought about it the more I had to say & didn't want to dump it on her!
Do you realize he is referred to as Tiller the Baby Killer? Let me just say this up front. I in no way think that it is right that this man was shot and killed. However, I also don't think it's right how all of the sudden the media is "morning the loss" of this "great man".
I guess my exact views on abortion would be described by some as wishy-washy. Either you're pro-life or you're pro-choice. Here is how I feel. You may disagree with me, fine. This is my opinion: If you find yourself pregnant and do not want to be you have the choice of abortion. I have not found myself in that situation but I can imagine what it would be like. You need to asses your situation & have your abortion ASAP if you choose to do so. If you're hemming & hawing about this & wait until you're 7+ months pregnant; I'm sorry but screw you. Have the baby & give it up for adoption. Now, I'm not saying there should not be exceptions such as the life of the mother is in danger or significant birth defects of the baby. There is always an exception to the rule. Those are things that need to be decided by a medical professional and the pregnant woman.
What this man did (and the few others like him that perform late term abortions) was kill viable babies. These babies were all but delivered alive before he shoved a sharp instrument in their skull to kill them. Seriously. If that baby slipped out a little more, it would be born alive & by law he could then do nothing to the baby or he would be charged with murder. So, a few inches is all the difference between an abortion and a murder. Just a technicality.
I do feel for this man's family. He was murdered. I guess that's pretty cut & dry. A few inches this way or that, he was still shot & died. No technicality for him.

Garage Sales Rock!

This was my newest garage sale purchase:

It's about 2 years old, used twice and I got it for a 3rd of what she paid for it. Woo hoo!

Dominic obviously diggs it too.
