Category: ME

that has been what I’ve been trying to decide. Lately my hair has been starting to annoy me. It’s gotten quite long – in fact, I never, ever, thought I’d grow it this long, but I think it’s sitting rather flat.

I  had been thinking of something like this – my hair was straighter when it was shorter. I’d obviously have to grow out the layers but at least I could pull it back if I wanted to.

However, I was watching Glee last night and thought Jayma Mays (Emma’s) new hair style might be better.

What do you think? Should I cut it or let it grow?

Many of you know that I (and much of the scrapbooking world) select a word each year. It was started by Ali Edwards a few years back and has grown each year. You can now even join Ali in an online class called One Little Word.  My words so far have been STRENGTH (2008),  READY (2009) and BELIEVE (2010).

My word for this year came to me so easily – CONSISTENCY.  It really is something I need to work on in many areas of my life

– regular exercise

– healthy eating

– household routines

– cleaning

– time spent with friends and family

– scrapbooking, sewing, knitting and crochet

– keeping up with online classes

– photography

When I do these things on a regular basis all is right in my world so CONSISTENCY really is key for me. And it ties right in with my goals for 2011.
