Chopped All That Hair Off

Posted by Heather Manning On July - 2 - 2010

Oh yes I did.

Here’s the best picture I have of how long the back of my hair was getting.

It was almost to the middle of my back. 

I decided yesterday that I was going to do it.  I was going to go cut it all off.  Part of what nudged me was my cousin Brandi finding out she has breast cancer.   I wanted to donate my hair to Locks of Love.  I do that every couple of years.(Side note, this post would be so much easier to write if Twinkle wasn’t trying to use her beak on my mouse and fingers. :) )

So, I’ve been thinking about cutting it for awhile.  Pretty much since I saw the Eclipse previews because I adored Alice’s hair in them.  I was so nervous it would make my face look fat.  Let’s face it, I’m not exactly as tiny as Ashley Greene is.

I thought I was going to puke when I walked into the salon. If I would have seen some Kohler toilets, or any toilet, I might have made use of it.  That’s how nervous I was.  Pato had already flipped out in the morning, not wanting me to do it.

Lucky for me, my stylist was a Twilight fan too. 

Ready?

I don’t think I’ve had hair this short since 6th grade.

No, I’m not stalling. 

It’s building anticipation.

Ready?

I love it!  She kind of adjusted it because of the fact my face is chubbier than Ashley’s.  My hairstylist took a pic to send to Pato because I told her how he was freaking out.  He called me after he got it and said, I like it! It looks better!  Told you so.  No reason to freak out honey. (Coming through the woman who was ready to vomit when she walked in the door.)

Jordan must be given kudos for chasing Christiano around while I was getting my haircut.  First time that Nano wouldn’t sit on my lap while I got my hair done.  Jordan even sacrificed his DSi, handing it to Nano, hoping it would keep him from pulling all the bottles off the wall.

My stylist said all I need now is some caramel colored highlights and it will be perfect.  I think I may have her do it.  I was thinking red in the beginning, but I think she’s right with the caramel ones.  What do you think?

Now I’ve got a bag full of braids in the car to mail in to Locks of Love.

I’m wondering how this will look on days when I’m too lazy to straighten my hair.  You think my hair is curly in the pic above, you should see what it does when there is no weight holding it back.  It gets a little crazy.  I don’t think straightening it will be a problem.  I could probably blow it dry and straighten it in less time than it took me to just blow it dry before.  Even with my new flat iron, it still took a long time to straighten my hair.  Less than the hour and a half it took to straighten it with my old one, but still too much time to do very often.

So, that’s that.  I did it.  I can’t believe it.

Other than that, nothing exciting happened.  Ok, Kat and Alyce both puked in my car on the way home.  Jordan was able to get a Kum & Go glass back to them before it landed anywhere I would have to clean up, thank God!  I think they had to many Skittles at the salon.  They seemed to feel better once we got home.

Christiano is in lovely form too.  Remember back when he had c. diff, it took forever to get it under control?  Same symptoms again, but I think he’s teething this time.  I’m using the acidophilus, and it’s getting better, but still feel bad for the kid.  Butt Paste rocks right now.

Jordan’s healthy.  That’s a plus.  It’s always nice when not every single one of my kids are sick.

Off to get some stuff done while they are still sleeping, though I hear Jordan moving around.

Have a great day!

If You’re Going To Comment Spam Me

Posted by Heather Manning On July - 1 - 2010

at least don’t criticize me in it. With a comment that is completely irrelevant to the post that you are commenting on.

For real people.

You can click on that to see it bigger.

I’m just curious what blanket statement there was in the Steam Designs Giveaway.  Surely it couldn’t be that I declared Steam Designs to be absolutely fabulous?  Because that’s not just a blanket statement, it’s the truth people.

Then there are the ones telling me on all of my articles that this is an excellent article and that they have no idea why it is not positioned higher in search engine rankings.  Got me, Mr Robot man.  (Seriously, the name had robot in it.)

And the ones who link to naked pictures of so and so.  This morning it was Vanessa Hudgens.  I think Vanessa Hudgensseems like a nice girl.  I don’t want to see her naked, thanks though.  There’s just something wrong about wanting to see a Disney star in their birthday suit.  (Please take note of that Miley Cyrus and shame on you Billy Ray for allowing your daughter to dress like she does at her age.)

Do spammers think that we’ll let these comments through so they can have their keywords listed on our page?  Or their links?  So we can make them money?  Or spread around whatever it is they are sharing with the world?

If you think I’m going to let your spam go through to increase your Google PR for quick weight loss, you’ve got another thought coming.  I have enough trouble trying to keep my own PR up without you dragging me down with spam.

Thank you Akismet.

I always wonder how many bloggers actually let these comments go through on their blog?  There must be quite a few who do, otherwise it wouldn’t be so profitable for them to do it.

You know what else I love?  The ones who completely rip off your whole article.

Like this one who took my pictures and everything from my Can Tan giveaway (which is still going on by the way).  Nothing like eating up someone’s bandwidth to say I love your article to them.  I was going to follow the advice of this article.  I even had my image all ready to go and was ready to start coding, see -

nohotlinking

But then I remembered that when someone copies and pastes the text I have showing to put my button on their blog, that button is hosted here on my server.  What a way to repay them for liking me enough to put my button on their blog, huh?  By having that little doozy show up in their sidebar.  Stopped myself in my tracks right there.

I just want to stop the robots from hot linking to my pictures.  Not the nice readers of my blog.

The least they could do is steal an article that has affiliate links in it so a bazillion people can click on it and I can make money off their theft to pay for my hosting every month.  Wouldn’t that be nice?

Just in case a robot decides this article is tasty enough to steal, here’s my Amazon affiliate link.  Y’all go shopping now, y’hear?  My hosting is due on the 13th.

Have a great day!

And may the force be with you.
