i don't often ask my readers to speak up - but can you on this one? please?
i've been invited to go to a black tie charity event on the arm of my lovely chris this saturday. i can figure out the clothes, but what to do with my hair? i have super long hair. i can't do much with it.
i tried to put up the sides last year for this holiday party. it kept coming out of the barrette, so this is the only picture i have of me with my hair back.
what to do? help!
i'm getting pictures this time. last time i got purdied up, somehow the whole night went by without me documenting it.
the only thing i can think to do would be to have it pulled back into a pony tail or some such... maybe a nice single clip at or just above the nape of your neck.
what about a french twist or just a big bun? those can always be nice. sometimes you can go to great clips and they do hair (without a cut) for pretty cheap.
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
