9 inch nails

Ok, not really nails... just hair. 9 inches of hair. gone. from my head.

Here is how it all started... I was starting to grow my hair out. Just for fun. Then my good friend Marcia was diagnosed with breast cancer. In honor of her, I decided to grow my hair to donate. So, I have been growing my hair with that reason in mind for the past year.

Locks of Love will take hair with a minimum of 10 inches and makes wigs for all kinds of hair loss diseases. Which is great! I found out that Pantene also takes hair with a minimum of 8 inches, for hair loss due to cancer. Also great! And since cancer was the reason I was growing mine, I am donating to Pantene.

So, this week I had a 9 inches of hair cut off. I will post pictures soon, but I didn't have my camera with me, so the photos are not on my computer to download. (Or is it upload?) Anyway, pictures to come...

Halloween

So it occurred to me today that I hadn't uploaded any pics from Halloween yet. I thought maybe I should do that... sometime before Christmas. :-) As I was looking at what was on my camera, I noticed that I failed to take many photos. I think (I hope) my mom's camera may have more. For now though, this is what I have of the girls in their costumes. (Thanks a million, Jana, for the Ariel costume! I will send it back ASAP!)
