I did something cool today!
I CUT OFF ALL MY HAIR!!
Seriously, I did. I'm donating it to Locks Of Love! They are a non-profit organization that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair due to any number of illnesses. You have to have at least 10 inches to donate and we cut just over 11 off my hair! WOW! And because my hair is so thick, we had to cut it into two pony tails so that more of my hair will actually be used! I'm so excited!! Here are the before and afters (not one word about my pudgy arms, I'm working on it!):
I took the last picture at home and even though it's a little dark , ahem DAD, it's a pretty good shot of how it looks. What I can't wait to see is what it will look like after I wash it. My hair actually has a lot of curl to it, but it's been so long, and I had to condition it so much, all the curl just about pulled out of it. SO I know when I wash it, it's going to be crazy with curls!!! Well, I guess I better start working on dinner. Hugs-N-Luv!! ~Pinky!

The Floors are Coming TODAY!!!
Later this morning, they are going to be bringing the floors!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm going to have to take pictures. The floors have to stay in the house a few days before they can put them down so that the acclimate to the climate of the house. BUT, You'll be able to see it and I want to share!
We finished the trim yesterday!! Another WOOOO!! It took us five days solid to get it done. Two coats in oil paint. Man! But it looks pretty. We're not quite finished with that room because I am striping one wall. HA! You didn't know that did ya?? It's going to be in the khaki, the brown of the trim, a deeeeep orange color called Cedar Chest and a thin stripe of Organic Green! It will match this chair really well:
We're striping on the wall where you first come into the room, that way you don't see it when you are looking in, but it will accent the room once you are in it. It's going to take a little time, but I think it will look yummy!!
We still have to put in the counter tops, new fridge, etc. and finish some of the wallpaper (we ran out, boo!) But here is a before and after of the kitchen: (hold on to your hats!!)

QUICK POST!!!
I just wanted to show you some quick before/ after shots. I've got to get Miss Pinky up for school. We still have some trim to paint, but the big room is almost done. WOO!! Three days on a ladder and one more day of it today!
Big difference, huh? That's just the subflooring, but it gives you an idea of the color that will be on the hardwoods. The colors are khaki and phantom mist. Doesn't that sound cool??
Okay, I've farted around long enough, I have to go. HUGS and much love to everyone!! ~PINKY!

Crazy..
I'm going to be sparse for the next few days. We're getting the floors in and TamiD and I are trying to finish the house so that we won't have to do it when the new floors go down. I'm sore as a mutha from standing on a ladder for two days, but it looks good. I am going to take my camera over there today so that I can take some shots for you.
Hope everyone is doing well and I will post soon, visit later. HUGS-N-luv ~ Pinky!

I've Been Tagged!! TWICE!!
Amber tagged me for a MeMe and then she tagged me to show off my studio. I feel obliged to finally get up off my tush and answer her. HUGS, Amber!! First up, my studio, a.k.a. "The Hovel". It's a small, unfinished (big surprise there) room off the kitchen. It's tiny, but it's mine!
I have SO many more photos to put up, but I don't have enough frames, or the right ones, so they sit in protective places until I can get them to their home. Much like Amber, I have a sewing machine still in the box, too!! Just begging to be used. The big pink thing was a shoe organizer for Miss Pinky, but it works soooo much better as a tool organizer for me! Now, on to the MeMe!!
1. I can cross just one eye if I want to. I can do it on both eyes and do it fast so that sometimes my eyes end up going in opposite directions!
2. I have a horrible, and probably irrational, fear of roaches. Seriously. I'm not kidding at all about this. The freak me the $&^# OUT!
3. After all the knee surgeries, I STILL wish that they had made me bionic. How cool would that be???
4. I hate the way glass glasses smell when they come out of the dishwasher. I don't even own glass glasses because I hate it so bad.
5. I play a hand held Solitaire game every night before I go to bed. For the last seven years.
Whew! That was hard!! I've done so many other MeMe's, I thought I was out of things to spill. Guess not! So who's next?? I tag: Rebecca, Mrs. Kwitty, Pavel and G!! Start spilling!!
