Haircuts Just Aren't My Thing. . . . .

Mom's been needing a haircut, and with Sis and her daughters visiting she didn't want to take time away from home to go get one. She asked Sis, but she was too worried of messing it up. So, I, in my naive-ness, offered to do it. (big mistake, since I've never cut anyone's hair in my life. Besides a doll's when I was about six, and that didn't go so well.)

She told me to cut the back bit off, and make it even, but while I was still cutting it, she gasped and pushed me away, seeing a rather large chunk of hair on the floor. I told her I was still working on it, to let me finish, but she wouldn't.

She seemed kind of upset. Then Sis went back and cut off the hanging bits - just like I had been going to do. And Mom came in and said I had been right, and it wasn't that bad. But that didn't really help much after she had gotton upset earlier. . . . *sigh*

Well, at least I learned something: I can NOT cut hair.

Hawk

I was on a walk with my sister and her oldest daughter, and we saw all sorts of things. Most notably, we saw a hawk.

It was at the local soccar field, sitting on the very top of one of the goals, staring at us.

We scared it, though, and had to leave. On our way back from the park, it was there again, with another.

This time they let us get very close to them -suprisingly enough, since my niece was bouncing around and being rather loud.

We were only a few feet away from them when we turned back for fear of scaring them.

I think they live nearby, so I'll try to go and see them again. Maybe next time I can get a picture of them, I'll certainly try.

Color

Lately, it's seemed so bleak. Not that it isn't pretty, winter is my favorite season. But sometimes I wish it were just a little more colorful. I miss the flowers, and the bugs, (but NOT the gnats) I just miss the color of it all. So, here's what comes of a girl dreaming of more color.



Enjoy my creativity, or insanity. Trying to work out which - if not both. ;)

Fuzzy Wuzzy Was A. . .

Dog! My dog! I wanted you to see her, so, here she is! :D My little Fuzzy. <3

Is It Really Over?

Sorry, that I haven't been on in a while, but with all the Holidays I've been busy. First Christmas, then my Birthday, (I'm thirteen now! :D :D :D ) then New Years. And when that was all over, it was a rush for me to play with my friend as much as possible before school starts back. Well, now it's back, and we're trying to get back into the regular routine.
Not so easy with Mom sick, and me getting sick. Especially since I'm homeschooled, and thereby my only teacher is now sick. But we're making do, with me mostly sticking to the subjects I don't need so much help with - we'll catch up on the rest later.
Hope you enjoyed the holidays, if you ask me it feels like they shouldn't be over yet!
