First, is it bad to hire a mover solely because he correctly identified the piano as a spinet? Yeah, whatever.
Second, Brad asked for a picture of me in pigtails (in context of a conversation we were having, not just at random which would be weird and also vaguely pervy), so here we go.
I used Mia's hair ties to try to make them cuter. Also, this is a shitty picture of me, but look! Look!
My eyes are open!
It appears that I am taking requests, which what the hell, it has to be better than listening to me talk about moving for the next month. Anyone? Anyone?

You should always borrow your daughter's hair accessories ;-) Very cute.

How about a picture of you packing?

I request you draw a picture of a robot taking swimming lessons.
Oh wait. That is a different website, isn't it?

Awww... I love pigtails, but I never think to actually put them in my hair!

Very nice pigtails. You even have the part right down the middle. I don't think I ever get mine quite centered.

Naw, you look very cute. I'm at the pigtail stage myself, but rest assure, at 48 I do not look cute any longer!

Very cute. I spent last summer in pigtails like those because I cut it short then whined about not being able to keep the hair off my neck with a ponytail.

Now I feel pervy.

We're collecting photos of people in braids for Lily and her obsession of "Little House on the Prairie." Got any of those?

So are you starting to dig the short locks? I think they look adorable.

I wear pigtail to the gym sometimes. It is my place to experiment.

Hubby requests something from your Hubby, actually. He plays guitar, right? Right. So.... my Hubby wants your Hubby to record a full length version of the Spider Pig song from the new Simpson's movie trailer. Rockin'. Ballad. Whatever. Expound upon it however he wishes. And post the results here.
You could always do back up singiing for the track...

Hands. Yours, Chris's and Mia's... on top of each other, wrapped around each other. Hands.

The three of you in pigtails. With Mia's excessories. That'd be a fun diversion from packing.

I just returned from a 2 week vacation in France and wow do you have a lot of news! First, love the hair. Second, HUGE congrats on the sale of the house. That's fabulous news.
And as an aside, I wear my hair in pigtails all the time. Especially w/ a headband, the kind that wraps all the way around your head. At first it was just for yoga. A ponytail gets in the way but piggies do not. But now I sport them a lot. My husband thinks they're cute and I think they're awesome on the "no time for a shower" days.

Ok, I went to a restaurant last night and the waitress totally looked like you. You haven't been moonlighting as a waitress in Texas, have you? I mean, that would be one way to avoid packing, I suppose...

I have bangs not too short not grown out but definitely in my face too much. The minute I get home I put them in an elastic hair band and taadaa...Pebbles from the Flinstones, red hair and all!!

you look very cute and your hair is really healthy!

so cute!!!!
also, why does it offer to remember my personal info when it clearly has no intention of doing so? and why do I always click the little box thinking it will keep its promise?
