So, what have I been doing the last few days. . . yesterday morning I had a guitar lesson, and last night I was up at church for music practice, so it was a somewhat musical day.
Earlier in the week there were birthday celebrations - and we got Prince Caspian on dvd! We had a ball watching it. We've now seen it about 4 times in two days. The rest of the gang are out in the living room right now, watching it. . . again! BTW, if you like, you could head over to JesusFreakHideout.com: they're currently running a contest, giving away 5 copies of the special 3-disc edition of Prince Caspian.
Someone on the Sense and Sensibility forums recently posted a link to this website -NationalTrustNames.org. For anyone who is even remotely interested in their family history, this is a very interesting resource. You simply type in your surname, and a map of Great Britain will come up, showing whereabouts in Britain people with your surname lived in 1881 (or 1998, depending on which option you select). I entered my surname--my ancestors showed up mostly in and around the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. I then had a great time typing in the surnames of all my friends, finding out where their ancestors came from!! Fun.
Finally, another friend of mine from another forum, Blessed Maidens, mentioned a link to a website that I found very interesting - DressyTresses.com. If you're a long-haired girl like me (I have thick, wavy, [occasionally messy] hair down past my waist!), head over and have a look - there is a blog, and there are some articles written by other long-haired women about caring for long hair. . . a lot of the stuff that they recommend is basically what I've been doing anyway, but I found it edifying and absorbing nonetheless. I often found myself nodding and saying "Yes, that's exactly how I feel about that!" or "I have exactly the same issues with my hair!". . . Looking after long hair is very different than caring for shorter hair - it was nice to read advice and info written by long-haired girls who understand! Also check out some of the great hairstyles - one of these days I'll have to try some of them out on my sisters!

ReplyDeleteI've had both the long and short hair (never any shorter than shoulders)... have to say I prefer the shorter :P
ReplyDeleteFair enough! Each to his/her own. ;-) I find my long hair just a little irritating sometimes, when it gets in the way. But mostly, I like my long hair. :-)
