Manic Monday 1/26/09
Once again, a Manic Monday from Fleur de Lisa…
What gives you hope?
~ Well, the stock answer is God… but that’s just too easy! It’s the why that’s important. Why does God give me hope? Because I have been through some things in life that without Him right there beside me would have been unbearable. He is able to fill my heart and mind with His peace no matter the circumstances I find myself in. I honestly don’t know how people can go through life without Him in it.
How often do you get your haircut? Describe your worst haircut.
~ That’s an easy one! Wait… first question first. I used to get my hair cut once every 18-24 months. Yep, I kept it long and just went in when it either got so long it was becoming a hindrance to life or I needed a trim. However, I last got it cut on my birthday and went with a shorter style. That was 5 months ago, and I needed to get it cut again oh, about 2 months ago… one of these days I’ll head down there and get it trimmed up again.
~ As for the worst haircut… I lived in Phoenix, AZ. I was an Admin in a mortgage office – I sat out in front as the receptionist too, so I needed to look nice. We had a flyer passed around for a girl who had just ‘relocated’ and was giving free haircuts to the first 50 customers to call her in an effort to re-build her business. Yes, I was stupid & called her to set an appt.
Remember that I mentioned that I keep my hair long? Well, part of my hair was long, but the top layer was just long enough to be even with my eyes. And I think that layer comprised about 1/3 of my hair – meaning that hair that began around my eyebrows was cut to that length. The next “layer” hit to my chin. Yeah… bad. The back of my hair hit about to my bra strap. I looked like a poodle with a bad trim. In retrospect, I should have just gone with a short haircut, but at that point I just wanted out of there. Needless to say, she did not gain a new customer, nor did she get a tip. Thank goodness my hair grows fairly quickly.
What’s your most treasured piece of jewelry? Why?
~ Actually, I have two. The first is my wedding ring. The second is an antique necklace Eric picked up for me in Ridgeway, CO. The wedding ring, for obvious reasons… it is the symbol of our vows to each other. The necklace is treasured because a) Eric found it and bought it for me while we were still dating. b) I have never see anything else like it, and I get compliments on it every time I wear it (yes, it’s that cool). c) it’s simply beautiful – simple and beautiful and perfect. I’ll try to get a picture of it.
Your turn!
