Pic of the Day #37

I discovered the virtual makeover at the Good Housekeeping website and have been having lots of fun trying new hair and makeup looks on myself. This is one of my favorites! If anyone else wants to try it out, you can at www.goodhousekeeping.com/makeover. You have to register for an account, but it's free.

Rachel Holloway said...: Steph! That looks great!! I have done it before on GH...love that! But never looked as cute as you!; March 31, 2008 at 1:24 PM
Michelle said...: Oh my gosh! For a second there I thought, "What on earth did she do!?!?!?!" You look awesome! That actually would be a good color on you. I thought maybe you had a stylist do it or something! I'll have to try out the webpage, maybe I'll go blonde?; March 31, 2008 at 2:48 PM
Karen said...: WAY Cool! I should try that, I am always too chicken to actually do something to myself...but it would be fun to SEE how I would look if I wasn't too chicken.; March 31, 2008 at 4:37 PM
Sarah said...: Sweet. That is so cool. I'm definitely going to have to try it. I need a new style badly so this is a great way to try a few out.; March 31, 2008 at 4:39 PM
Abby and Greg Christiansen said...: I did it too.... SO fun! but how did you add it to your blog? I can't figure it out?; March 31, 2008 at 5:45 PM
Stephanie said...: I ended up e-mailing it to myself. There's a thing on the side that says "Send to a friend" or something like that. It came as a before-and-after thing. I right clicked and said to "Save image" and saved it to a folder on my computer. Then I opened the whole thing, and cropped it to just the after picture. It took me some work to figure out how to do it!; March 31, 2008 at 5:49 PM
Anonymous said...: I have to admit that my initial response echoed Michelle's, but it looks great! Very fashionable :) So you'll have to let us know if you actually take the leap and get it colored/styled that way!; April 1, 2008 at 9:29 AM

Kiddie Quotes

This morning Zaylee came up to me carrying my purse and said, "Mommy, here's your person!"
I had just washed my hair and blown it dry. It was very, um, full of body. Zaylee looked at it and said smilingly, "You're a lion!"
We were headed to the car, and Zaylee was about to run out into the parking lot. I grabbed her dress to stop her. When I let go, she said indignantly, "Hey, what's the big idea?" I didn't even know she knew that phrase!
I was driving with Zaylee in the car yesterday and we were both being quiet. To make some conversation, I asked, "How you doin' Zaylee?" She sighed and said, "Yeah, she is so pretty." I have no idea who she was talking about.
I was putting on the movie Princess Diaries, and I told Zaylee, "This is a movie about a princess." She repeated, "This is a movie. I'm a princess."
I had the vacuum out this morning after using it last night. Zaylee found great entertainment in pulling on the hose and watching it snap back into place. As I unplugged it and started putting it away, she said such things as: "You wanna pull on macuum, Mommy?" "Bye bye, macuum, have a good nap!" and, as I was putting it away in its closet, "I love you, macuum!" while making a kissing noise. How funny!
Zaylee mimics just about everything we say, though often makes mistakes in pronunciation. Today I offered her a cracker, saying, "Here, have a soda cracker." She took it and said, "Yeah, a super cracker!"
Jeff and Zaylee were playing on the floor. Wanting him to get up, she said emphatically, "Daddy, stand BOP!"
This morning Zaylee came into the kitchen where I was making breakfast. She was blowing very energetically in and out through her nose. I asked what she was doing, to which she replied, "I'm glowing!"
