Last year was a color~full year for my hair. I went from reddish-brown to white blond to part pink to part purple to some morphed half-breed growing out stages. Did I tell you? No? Well, goodbye purple'y goodness. Here's me now....
Super short and spikey. This is the shortest I've ever had my hair. But I'm digging it's funky'ness. I actually did my hair and put on make-up for this - so I hope you're happy. :) I didn't however change out of my pj pants. But I did put on a shirt!!! Which I took off right after this and replaced with my normal layers of short sleeve, long sleeve pj shirt, and old hubby sweat shirt (poor guy has everything 'stolen' from him).
And this is all that is left of purple'y goodness....I offer it up to the Hair Goddess.
trouble with a capital T:
Those Squirmy Wormers are growing all-right....growing 'bad.' Oh, some moments I miss the days when they just laid in a clump in a box under the table in the bedroom. Instead I have these climbing, chewing, biting, scratching, water spilling, mess making, getting into every single thing maniacs. But they are still super-de-duper CA-UTE! Here's Twix.
He just finished 'doing time' under a laundry basket a few minutes ago. Don't feel bad for him - he was climbing our make-shift computer cover (which is an old towel thumb tacked to the computer desk) for the 10th time in a row. Grrrrrr. He just tried to do it again. I don't just need cat food and litter....I need patience and a lot of deep breaths and some new cat toys. And again.....TWIX!!!!

your hair looks fabulous!!! What fun!
ReplyDeleteAs for kitty...oh, cuteness! wouldn't it be great to have a "cat room?" hehe...i'm sort of glad I got my kitty when she was already 3 even though I wonder what she would have been like as a kitten.
First of all... you are Beautiful!!!! I love your hair! and I absolutely love your journal pages that you are sharing with us... you have so much magick inside of you. You inspire me!!!
ReplyDeleteGawd Twix is so cute !!! Sounds like you may need a spray water bottle around - one that sprays hard and fast. Keep it on you and use it on them when they get into something bad - like climbing curtains or digging in plants. Then spray it at them, but don't let them know it comes from you. The Surprise sometimes works to make them stop the bad behaviour. Or you may have a cat who loves water like my Azzy who is fearless and actually likes being sprayed at...but it's worth a try !
ReplyDeleteLove the funky newness of the hair !Very pretty and "sprite-like", I think ! So cool that you kept that purple magic piece !
Love, love love your goal pages !!! Treating yourself like your own best friend is a fantastic goal to have !!! You sure do deserve it magick girl !
Happy Thankful Thursday ! I am thankful for you ! ;-)
L*O*V*E your hair- adorable and you are a Be-U-tiful magickal goddess!!! Twix is adorable- looks like a little lion- i like the idea of the upside down basket- perfect

Greetings from the Woodland! Having fun here visiting your magickal blog.. and loving the colors and vibrancy of your art. The self-affirming messages, everything.. wow! What a nice way to start of my Fri. a.m. here slaving away at the office. I will try to remember to nuture myself today, and lighten up a little! If I need inspiration again, I'll stop back by!
ReplyDeleteWow Melissa, you're amazing! I love the kaleidoscope of hair colours your have gone through but do love the look you are going with now. Very natural AND funky, quite an accomplishment. I'm thrilled you took the pic with your pjs on. That rocks. Your art dedicated to your art blows my mind. And your little one? Quite the adorable troublemaker.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your hair looks, cut AND color! You look great!! I also really like that purple color on the before strand. Funny, you have the same top pj layer routine as myself. I am right now wearing the very same order of layers. Oh those naughty but absolutely adorable kitties! I'm sure it's impossible to stay mad at them when their giving you a look like Twix's in that pic. Actually, he looks pretty darn serious. Oh the intensity in those eyes! I love your swirly, yummy, colorful, full of good vibes affirmation drawings!! May your cup overflow with yumminess and do remember to let yourself know how awesome you are on a regular basis. I most definitely think so! Love and sweetest wishes for most harmonious unfolding of your dreams in '09, Serena Pia (Hmmmm...why does your blogger not remember me? It's not letting me choose my normal profile.)

I am so glad you saved a purple braid. I LOVE it that you've had all those colors of hair. I want to do platinum and also hot pink but alas, working for years as an image consultant/stylist I could not risk it. But there's ALWASY time.
ReplyDeleteLove the kitties and love it that you dress like I do all day. PJ's for real clothes!!! Let's start a movement!
i really like this post and the pics from your house, your hair, and all your art - I LOVE the resolution art!!!!
