WHOO-HOO...

Of course, the Zen Uzi.....it is what keeps you focused on the simple, yet sublime act of jumping.

Hope you are ascending upward this monday....

Hi Jacqui

Paradox is a skipping rope.

I laugh as I jump high and ponder the heights as I descend to the ground, just seconds before I take off again.

But I do not care to imagine what lies beyond the jumping as it is only imagining and would cause me to mess up my rhythm and get the skipping rope all tangled up.

Jump!!

(Maybe I should add "zen" to the pot?)

Me too ErinLynn, especially in California where the really tan look is "in". Just one century ago it was considered fashionable and elite to be pale because it meant you weren't part of the working class. Now it's in fashion to be tan because it means you can afford tanning booths or the time to lie in the sun. In my opinion both are beautiful in their own way, but since I'm naturally light of course I always wish to be darker. Human nature I suppose.

Thank you guys!! You're all so sweet. I appreciate all the great comments and especially the wonderful advice I get on this board.

To answer your question Enfys... my hair was at a chin length bob that was inverted when I frist started. It would be longer now, but at one time I was growing out layers and would take a little length off from time-to-time. Funny thing is I have layers again. LOL. All that growing (and cutting) for nothing. Oh well, it does look better with some layering. It's relatively thin and hangs flat without layers.

Becky, you look a lot like the beautiful actress I just saw in the movie "Love Actually". I'm sorry i don't know her name, but your eyes look just like hers, and she had long brown hair so I'm sure you'll look like her even more. She plays the assistant to Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister.

Thanks Uzi! That's really very sweet of you to say. I may try to get my husband to take better pixs of me tonight. If so, I'll replace those with the new ones (I think the face shot looks like a mug shot. )

My hair is in pretty good shape. It's fairly shiney, soft and silky feeling, very few splits. Overall I think it's in good health... esp. since I blow dry daily.

I got enought time to upload the picture to a website. Before anyone looks I need to say 2 very important things....

1 - I took these pictures myself, so the front shot isn't a good one. My arms just wern't long enough to make it look right. lol

2 - I'm not a photogenic person, so even if I wasn't the one who took the picture myself it still probablly wouldn't be great. I just always look better in person (or at least I think I do).

Ok, with those 2 points in mind here's the link:

Becky, you've done so well so far. With all the advice from here your hair must be gorgeous! How long was it to start with? Keep with it - a little while longer and you'll have reached your next target before you know it

Thanks everyone for the kudos! I'll have to see if I can get some pixs to post. I'll have to post front and back shots. Last time I posted I didn't have bangs and I do now. I'll try to have them to post tomorrow....

Many congrats to both of you. Becky, do you have a recent picture? I only remember you with the short hair from the last picture you posted
