Apropos, because I just got it cut.


These questions were written by destined_dreams.

1. What type of hair do you have? (Thin, Normal, Thick, Frizzy, etc.)
Thick and straight until it grows, then it curls. Mullet!

2. What color is your hair currently?
Sort of brownish with red showing in the sun

3. What colors have you dyed/highlighted your hair?
Never added color because it was my best feature and I was afraid of ruining it.

4. If you could dye your hair any color, what would it be?
Something unnatural, like blue. Maybe if it turns white before I die, I'll try it.

5. What is your hair's length?
So short, short and butch. Should last me to July until I force myself to the cutters.

There are daffodils sending up shoots in the front yard. Yet, every morning there is frost on the ground. Crazy mixed-up daffodils.

I'm putting out seeds for the birds. Mostly small black headed birds, an occasional dove (which I hope don't hang around because I find their cooing so disheartening), a jay or two and an anemic looking robin. And greedy, fat squirrels.

The electrician came again, but I think everything is sorted and I finally understand the furnace (fingers crossed) and I won't use the portable heaters again.

Challenge #8

Talk about your creative process.



I probably haven't written enough to have a process. The one thing that usually happens is that I have the first line and then the last line will come to me. So I only have to fill in the gap, don't I? Lol. The same thing would sometimes happen in a drabble.

If I'm writing I can only listen to classical music, nothing with words. I usually start at the beginning and add one thing after another. Though I will get inspired for paragraphs that I can fit in later. I have a working on version and a final one, the latter so I can keep track of how far I've gone.

Challenge #7

LIST THREE (or more) THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF. They don’t have to be your favorite things, just things that you think are good. Feel free to expand as much or as little as you want.


Nice hair, and still a lot of it. It used to be redder but still glows in the sun.
An everpresent sense of humor. I think most things are funny, even if they are annoying.
I'm not an envious person.

Another adventure in home ownership. It's the coldest week so far this winter so naturally my electricity failed. Only in about half of the house. I still had hot water, kitchen stove and internet. The bedroom was dark and I had to move the frig to the other side of the room. It happened after I plugged a space heater in a socket, which was asking too much of it.

So I had to call somebody, a stranger had to come to my home and I had to talk about it on the telephone. I worked myself up to it after feeding the birds, retrieving the trash bin from the sidewalk, taking a shower. Usual delaying tactics. I was told somebody would be here Friday afternoon. Ok. I took off my 'meeting people clothes' and got into my robe, which is warmer. Five minutes later I see the company's car in my driveway. It turns out the owner just stopped by to check out the problem.

He was here about 4 minutes. Just did something at the electric panel and everything was on the way it should be. Now I had turned the main off and on, as I believe he did. But nothing changed. So now I look like an idiot or maybe just a confused old person.

But I'm back in the bedroom watching tv, so all's well. Electricity hates me.

The category(ies) you choose are up to you. You can give top 10 Fics you read last year, the top 10 songs to create to, the top 10 guest stars on your favorite show, top 10 characters in your favorite book series, top 10... well, you get the idea.



So I watch a lot of Brit tv and these are 10 actors that I delight in coming across in a show. In no particular order.
