I love my funky side!

ROFLOL! Yes, each morning I have my quiet time, my coffee and my conversation with my Christa! It's a staple

Funky! Yes, but it's also FUN!

But can I just say that I really loved Dorla's answer! I mean if you have wild hair really what else do you really need!

Every day it looks a little different. Today it is not so bad because we went to church!

Dorla, you've inspired me

Here's a family photo (except for the white-haired guy-he's a certain actor/author whose booksigning we attended

But my hair is a LOT longer and wilder these days

Dorla! I love your hair! And your family is beautiful! I love that your oldest's mouth is wide open.

Very cute.

Lourdes, your family is beautiful, too! And I love your "wild hair"! My hair is stick straight, so wild is never a term I could apply to my hair. (Now, back in the day, when I permed and bleached it, that's another story....)

I have three girls and a boy, too! Is your boy your oldest? That's how it is in our family.

Thanks for sharing!

Yay, pictures!

This thread is a great excuse to show off your family and your wild, or not so wild, hair! Keep 'em comin'!

It will probably take me a little longer to post a pic, the computer is not my greatest talent!

Christa, yes, my boy is my oldest. The age spread of our kids is similar, too! Melanie, you are too funny... "big hair"

I'm going to try to get a picture on here of my big hair, before I go get a haircut

What a fun thread! No wild hair here, though.

Favorite hobby:
Just started knitting, but love to cross-stitch, read and baking anything with chocolate.

Favorite song:
I agree - No Rap. No also to my Dad's organ music that sounded like they were tuning up for an hour. Otherwise, no one favorite song or type. I like mostly contemporary Christian with Chris Rice probably my favorite. My3sons - I grew up a 1/2 mile from the KNWC station in Sioux Falls. Everything has changed in that area so I don't even know if it is still in the same spot (my house isn't there anymore).

Name 2 or 3 jobs you have had in the past:
Computer systems programmer for pharmacy system and before that a bank (okay, don't throw anything at me - I just wrote the programs!)
Cook at Pizza Hut
Weeded bean fields growing up.

What do you like best about yourself:
I'm not afraid to try anything new, except vegetables. I guess I'll have to start looking at blogging - that would be another new one for me.

My brother and sisters and I earned a trip to Disneyworld doing this for my dad one year!

The very next year, "they" came out with a spray that would kill sicklepod in soybeans....whew... I've also used a rope-wick to kill Johnson grass in milo for my dad. Oh the joys of being a farmer's daughter.

My dh always says he married me b/c I could drive a tractor and plant a straight row of soybeans!

Every time I read one of these, I see something I have in common with some one else. I think this is really cool.

I totally agree! I keep thinking that too! I walked beans and drove tractor too, and I love KNWC, though I'm not sure where their station is now. Dorla - I love your wild hair and your family picture, and Lourdes, I love your family picture too!

Now, I'll need to take a computer class with Melanie and Candice to figure out how to add pictures to my posts!

Great thread! Its a nice way to get to "know" everyone!! And I could have joined the wild hair club about 5 years ago. Picture: long VERY thick naturally curly hair and Minnesota's summers. Not pretty.

Favorite hobby: I actually just got a hobby. And its actually extemely odd. I am researching the Hells Angeles and the Mongols. Yes, the biker gangs. I watched something on National Geographic a few weeks ago about an undercover agent inside the Hells Angeles, and have been intrigued ever since. Bad behavior just.... baffles me. When I went to school, I started going to be a Criminal Psychologist.... I just would love to get inside these peoples heads, and figure out the whys and hows...... and then fix them!

Favorite song:
I'm on a Bette Midler kick right now.....

Name 2 or 3 jobs you have had in the past:
Dietary Aide, Waitress

What do you like best about yourself:
My strong will- which also gets me introuble

. But I tell ya, I don't just dream, I do it. And I love that I have the drive.

And that is something I try to remind myself of every time my dd throws a tantrum. One day her strong will can be directed towards a dream instead of me.

Hehehe!

Favorite hobby: Scrapbooking - when I have/make time!

Favorite song: Oh, gosh, this is hard! In Christian music, which I mostly listen to, probably Selah's "It Is Well with My Soul". In country, my all-time favorite song is "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones. Yes, it's old and hokey, but it gets me teary-eyed every time I hear it!! LOL!!

Name 2 or 3 jobs you have had in the past:
* Floral designer
* Preschool teacher
* Hospital collections

What do you like best about yourself: Hmmm. Physically, I like my long, curly hair the best about myself, since I have been growing it out for 3 years from being boy-short. Personally, I guess I like that I'm a good listener.

I LOVE that song too - it ALWAYS makes me cry! I'm not sure why I'm listening to it then, but it does make me realize how much I love my dh, and how glad I am that we're still together raising our family. Nobody can sing a sad song like George Jones!
