CLASS OF "1982" DINTHILL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL

I really can't believe that is has been 31 years since I graduated from High School. I was invited to one of my girlfriend's birthday party on Saturday, April 13, 2013, and it was a reunion as well, it was so amazing to see some of the ladies we went to school with, it was great to see them, I haven't seen some of these ladies in 31 years....All I can say is "WOW"....we look look lovely.....

MY NEW TWIST OUT HAIR-STYLE

I changed my hair again, I am loving this one as well, my hairdresser Peggy did my hair on Saturday, April 6, 2013, and I asked her to cut them real short, because as you all know I am so accustomed to wearing my hair very short, as I think it looks so much better on me. Anyways, I did it in golden blonde, and needless to say I have gotten tons of compliments since I got it done. The pictures are below, please ENJOY!!!.

CIRCLE JACKET

Ok, I completed this Circle Jacket, at first i was hesitant to make it because when I saw it on the model, I said to myself, "it would never look this good on me" but in any event I went ahead and made it and it came out wonderfully. I got the pattern from "Drops Design" website, I also used Red Heart yarn for this project....Enjoy the photo.

BRAID ALMIGHTY!!!!!

Well, I finally got my hair braided, and I must say I am LOVING IT!!!! it gives me a great look, and tons of compliments......so needless to say I am totally happy.....Enjoy the pictures......

BLAST FROM THE PAST!!!!

Ok, now, my best friend back in our school days, her name is Angie, but we called her Jean, decided that she was gonna send me a picture of myself when I was in high school. Now, of course, when I saw the picture I was so taken a back I could not contain myself with laughter, I thought that I looked so tiny, and my hair-style was something to be desired. I might be wrong, but when you all get to see the picture which is below, I think it was so funny seeing myself back then what I really looked like, some of my friends on Facebook thought the pictures was so "cute" but I beg to differ..."lol" In any event, take a look below and you will see, now the boy beside me in the picture was a boy that gave the such a hard time back in school, he liked me so much, and I would not give him the time of day, because I just wasn't ready for the boyfriend, girlfriend thing......."lol", he was so handsome, but if I knew then what I knew now, he would probable be my husband and the father of what would have been our many children (not)..."lol.....Enjoy the picture.

OFF TO WORK.....GROWING OUT THE TOP OF MY HAIR.

I have decided that it is time for a new hairstyle. I have always worn my hair very short, and I am now getting to the stage where I want a change, I just got tired of seeing myself the same way for years. Now, what I will be doing, is taking pictures of myself with my new hair and the progress that my hair have made. So the first picture is below. The sides will be very short and the top will be much longer. I will be braiding my hair for a protective style and I will be posting a picture of that when I get it done.

POWER TO LIVE

You are much more powerful, creative and effective than you give yourself credit for being. You are worthy of the best in life because you are able to give your very best to each day.

Start that fortunate process in motion. Open yourself to the positive possibilities of this day and work to bring the best of them to reality.

Whatever good, valuable and meaningful things you can imagine, you can create. Though it requires effort and commitment, you are absolutely capable of making it happen.

Remind yourself that this moment is not merely happening to you. It is happening through you. You can make it happen in a way that brings great richness to your world and fulfillment to your life. You can choose to be a positive force by directing your potent energy into those things that truly matter.

Right now, you have great power to do great things. Step forward in truth, sincerity, and authenticity, and put that power to use.
