mama needs a new look

My short hair is not-so-short anymore, yet my hairdresser costs more than I'm willing to pay these days, so it continues to grow into a weird, not-really-a-hairstyle 'do.

My eyebrow hairs threaten to grow and multiply in such incredible numbers that they soon will reside all across my expansive forehead (five-head), but I'm just no good with the tweezers and I haven't gotten out of the house without a child attached to me, so no waxing for now.

My post-baby belly (how long can I milk that phrase now that Pudge is 14 months old?!) is in dire need of some 'tucking,' yet the cosmetic surgery fund is bone dry.

And finally, my blog is my favorite blue, but the design is Plain Jane, most definitely. I have big ideas, but zero know-how to bring my thoughts to fruition.

While no one is offering dear Marcus-the-haircut-guy's services for free these days, and no one is bringing a pot of hot wax and some paper strips to my door, and no one is throwing cash at my ridiculous inner-desire for a tummy tuck, there is someone out there saying, "Hey, I'll fix your blog up pretty... for free!" Judi at Doodlebug Designs is running a contest for exactly the kind of blog overhaul I have in mind. I'm entering, but please, please do not get any crazy ideas of your own about heading over there and throwing your name in the hat, effectively decreasing my chances of winning. Unless you're willing to give me a haircut, wax my eyebrows or blast away my baby-gut, in exchange, that is. HA!
