The Shearing

A long time ago...

In salon far far away...

I realized...I spend a great deal of money on my hair!

So I started growing it... and growing it...

With a promised to donate it

Then I really got to liking long long hair.

Then Karma recently nudged me a little and reminded me of a few of things:

Be grateful

Be kind

Be joyful

Be giving

I like giving, I'm pretty good at it. So along with giving my body to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to ride 109 miles in 1 day this November, I decided to give my hair. Almost all 2 1/2 years worth:

All 16 inches will be off to Locks of Love on Saturday (need to let the shearings dry out)

I'll never be a scientist, I won't be communing with medically advanced aliens anytime soon, but I do what I can. This is my commitment (and my hair) to helping the cancer community, however I can.

I hope Latinatude isn't something found in hair because Lord help the poor child that gets these locks.

=)

Much love!

109 miles + 12 hours + 1 bicycle + YOU = End of Leukemia!

Time for catch up....

How-do,

So I'm playing a little catch up here.
Let's see... what's new...

• Oh, my mortgage company employs dimwitted twits with the IQ of a common dust bunny.
• I'm in week three of training for the Team In Training Tour de Tucson event and I'm $250 into my fund raising - $3,950 to go
• Need to buy a new car - have one pick out, but I'll share that when it happens
• Saw, what I believe, is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen coming from the UK and I officially am quite enamored with on Mr. Simon Pegg
• Jose and Gema bought a Honda - yes that's right, not just a foreign car for the Latino's but a Japanese one. Gema loves it but is afraid to drive it - it's a CRV, not a Tank.
• Finally working on some fun projects at work - hoorah for moi.
• Bought a new saddle for the bike last week and learned that the breaking in time is longer than expected. Let's just say my "girl" is a little uncomfortable at the moment.
• The voice acting is going pretty well - so far the Batman Series is my fav - manly b/c my character is a bad ass cop with XX chromosomes, a smart ass retort and mad fire arm skills.

I have a few pics from the training rides - I'll post those soon.

Oh yeah, I learned that sometimes an oil change can just magically fix a car.
