A photographer came by the office yesterday and my boss dragged me out to take pictures. I thought he was with the campus paper, but I guess not. Looks like I'm now my home town's poster child for flu prevention. Great.

Great photo!

Um, don't take this the wrong way ,

but

since I've only seen you in the flesh (lots of flesh actually! )
dressed as MU T'Pol
with a whole, y'know,
"drag-Johnny-Slave-down-the-aisle" thing planned,

well...in this picture,

to me....

...you kind of look like a crazy star trek fan, playing doctor.

(This is just what popped into my head after I thought, "Oh what a nice picture" and then made it a bit bigger so I could see your face, and suddenly this thought appeared in my mind. "Dear God! What is that crazy T'Pol lady doing to that innocent student??" )

Sorry

HAHA!

I had trouble recognizing you because of your hair Dis but you are definitely a knock-out whether as an MU tepmtress or as a compassionate responsible Doctor. I know you're family is proud, and hey you're famous!

I actually never wear my hair down unless I'm in costume for something. It gets in the way. Some day when I'm old and arthritic I'll have to cut it all off, but for now it's kinda fun. Easy, too. I can practically french braid in my sleep.

Which proves you're a busy mom with a career. Although my sister can do hair in her sleep too, but that's because she does it for a living. Me it's an occasion when I even take the time to blow my hair out. But really you look good, especially because of the angle that photo was taken.

[Distracted]

Thank goodness for capable photographers and the cosmetic industry.

I can practically french braid in my sleep.

Me too. My hair was to my knees before I cut it off and i could french braid it in two minutes. It's a very handy skill that anyone with shoulder length hair can learn.

I can literally say I have had every length of hair, from knee length to buzz cut (which I gone and done misself last year with my walmart clippers) and every colour from jet black to brown to red to light blonde.

No rainbow colours though. Not because I'm not into that, but because my hair grows too fast, and I would just have to redo it every six weeks, and hot pink touchups just sound like a bit of a hassle.

There. The history of my hair, just in case any o' you's were dying to know.

I buzzed my hair almost two years ago for medical reasons, now is almost halfway down my back. I hope no other medical stuff happens so I can finally have the long hair I've wanted since I was a baby.

Bizarre hair color was very 'in' the year I lived in Britain. So was henna.

As a result, the dorm showers often got stained the most peculiar colors.

(For that matter even the old ladies had odd colors of rinses in their silver hair.)

Hey, I'm happy just to have hair! I have alopecia areata, which is an immune disorder that causes patchy hairloss. It was in remission for 20 years, then came back three years ago with a vengence. Right now it's not too bad, but sometimes it can be a real pain in the butt.

Anyway - we just got back from a lovely trip to Union Pier Michigan. A friend of ours has a cottage right near the beach! We and 5 other families had a really great time!

Looks beautiful.

Wow, Aikiweekie, your family looks like a younger version of mine. You have three boys close in age? Very nice looking family.

Oh, no, JustTripin, only the red head is mine! He's an only child. That's why it's so nice that we can go on vacations with our friends, who have children close to Steven's age.

DELICIOUS IMAGES! They inspire serenity and gaiety.

[Aquarius]

Looks like a great time, Aikiweezie! One thing Michigan has no shortage of is beaches.

Very cute child, Aikiweezie! I have one granddaughter who has reddish hair. She sun burns easily so I hope you guys rubbed on some sunscreen lotion!

Loved your professional photo, Distracted!
