I am Miss Unoriginal today.

I was going to post a picture of myself wearing a SCARF in my HAIR (yes, I'm still Tragically Unhip, but with the prompting of Amanda and our Office Black Chick Felicia, I was trying to be less so).

But, I can't get a satisfactory picture. Not one that showcases my hair and does not make my face look odd. And yes, I know that the answer is to not hold the camera myself, but I tried the self-timer thing today, and it didn't work so well.

And so - I, ahem borrowed this idea from Sheila. I mean isn't that why people put stuff on their blogs? So people like me can copy it?

So now it's your turn.

Oh, what the heck. I'll show my big nosed self anyway. I took this picture this morning to send to Amanda, who, by the way, had about a foot of her hair chopped off for Locks of Love this week and looks fabulous.



(For the record, the rest of the outfit consists of a brown peasant skirt, a tan T-shirt, and an ivory cardigan.)

Although the 'do got Felicia's approval, I'm still on the fence about it.

Man, first I'm gonna "Mom my ride" and now I'm putting scarves in my hair.

A bellybutton ring can be the only next logical step.

Joking! Totally joking!

Cute Cute! I have recently grown my hair out enough so that I can wear it up in a clip, felt funny, but everyone loved it.

So I say Go For It! (is that a really bad 80's word?) Oh Well!!

Hey - I may have lost weight, but I still have enough of a belly to completely gross out any one who'd be doing the piercing. I'd have to do what some girls did when I worked at Walmart's jewelry counter in college - they bought the earrings (since they were pointy) and used some of the novacaine from their job at a dental office to numb their skin and do it themselves.

And about that nose ring - my allergies are too bad, and I'd be afraid to blow my nose !
