I've been to London a few times. Once I was lucky enough to see a women's FA Cup final - I remember one of the teams was Everton. A good time.

I'm glad you're enjoying your visit...it sounds like it's a mile a minute having fun. Hoping you enjoy the rest of your stay.

I have no idea what's happening with the major soccer competitions this year sadly. Although I am looking forward to the World Cup later this summer.

Nihaoma, all? (How is everyone doing?) To answer Jet's post about age... I am going to be 49 on May 15th. I still look very young apparently. When I dress in a hoodie and jeans (only to go walk in the field by the house-snakes are rampant here, the kids across the street yell at me to come and play! I still get carded when buying wine for a friend. I shop,excepts for dresses, in the girls department. BUT
I have MS as well as a series of other autoimmune diseases. It seems that have one predisposes you to having others. In my youth I was quite athletic. I walked 10 miles per day, worked out with weights several times per week, did yoga (still do), meditated (still do), did/do not drink nor do drugs or smoke. So this was NOT a "lifestyle" choice. Now I find out that I will be losing the vision in my right eye. We can prolong it for a little while. The optic nerve is almost gone, though. MS-related probably. There is a good chance that I will lose the vision in my other as well, just not as soon. I am trying to look at this in the best possible light (pun intended). Having just found out, though, makes it difficult. I'll be able to do so soon, just not yet. I'm still in shock.

Morning all.. Things at the new job slightly better. Will have to see. Still unbelievably tired and hurting in places I have never been hurting before. 1 year olds are a lot of work. lol

I hope you are feeling better, Ruthie.

I went to a new stylist and said, "I want it shorter but keep the curls longer." I even showed her a picture. So I take my glasses off (instant blindness) and the next thing you know all my long curls are on the ground.

I have, as my co-worker described, perky curls. Perky. Sigh.

I would rather think of my short curls as those of Ava Gardner in 1955. No one would ever describe Ava as "perky". But then I have red curls. sigh

Ms Isa...
you're gorgeous no matter what length the curls are-
no way round it-
but I am sorry that your stylist didnt listen to you.
I hate it when they do their own thing.. oy vey.

my mama is a fiery gorgeous redhead as well-

evenin Lofter's,
hope everyone is smiling and well this evening.

for you, Lady Wu.
contentment and divine bliss to you

Rockinonahigh · 05-05-2010, 08:23 PM

Once I went to get a hair cut,I at the time kept it a bit longer than collar length.The beautichian(sp??) was about done when she urned to say something to someone and the clipers bumped into the back of my head then cut a bare patch to the skin that no amount of triming would fix,I ended up with a flat top cut.I was not happy at all,it shure was cooler tho.

Well the cut is growing on me...kinda sassy. When I first met Toughy I had a pixie cut! I was no less femme. LOL I just showed more cleavage!

I actually kinda feel like the sassy part of Ava Gardner in Mogambo and Kim Novak in Bell Book and Candle. That 50's smart woman short curly cut thang. LOL At least it makes me feel better then being Katie Couric "perky". hahahahaha hells bells
