Addressing Comments

Usually I answer comments individually, but I’ve received so many lately that I thought I would just respond here. I hope that you don’t mind. 🙂

First, thank you for all of the compliments on my new hair style. All of your kind words have really helped me to get used to the new cut. To answer a couple of questions about the curls, my hair is fortunately very versatile. It can be curly or straight. It just depends on how I dry it. If I put in mousse and dry it with a diffuser while scrunching it, then it turns out curly. I can also dry it out straight using a large round brush. I’ve opted for curly lately because it seems to behave better and is much easier to do. I’ll try it straight one of these days and have Terry take another picture, if it comes out okay. 😉

Second, for those who have received their scissors from the giveaway, you are all quite welcome. It was my pleasure. There is one pair that hasn’t gone out yet to Michelle as Terry needs to finish sharpening the blades. They will go out next week, probably. And for those who entered and didn’t win, if you haven’t received a pair already, they will be posted soon. 🙂 And Susan, if you are reading, I still don’t have a mailing address for you, so please email me at jenna at magees dot net so that I can send those out to you.

Third, thank you SO MUCH for your overwhelming support of my friend Mary. Angela, thank you for your suggestion of gathering people together to do some practical things for her like bringing dinners, etc. Once she starts treatment, I think that would be a very welcomed gesture and she has a lot of people who care about her at work that we should be able to round up. I know I can always count on the wonderful, caring people who share my life with me via my blog to provide support and inspiration when it is needed the most. You are all very special to me.

And finally, I pulled a muscle in my right shoulder late last week (which is part of what has been triggering the headaches) and it has slowly gotten worse and worse. It reached the point yesterday where I really aggravated it at work, having to use my laptop on a variety of different conference room tables, as I was in meetings all day. It’s pretty sore this morning, so I am going to have to severely curb my computer (and probably stitching, too – eep!) time over the next few days as I encourage it to heal. So, if I’m quiet for a little while, both on my blog and in commenting on your own, you know why. I’ll try to post shorter posts (am I capable of doing such a thing?) as I can.

Hugs to all of my friends in cyberspace!
