What gives you hope?
Kids give me hope. Kids give me hope because by the time they're adults, hopefully so much of the nastiness of our parents era will be wiped out. There are so many multi-racial kids nowadays, that who knows who is what any more, and it's only going to get better. Obama gives me hope that this country can turn around and be respected once again. My son gives me hope that, in some way, I will live on through him. Or at least my sense of humor will ;) Every day that I wake up gives me hope that I will live another day. Every word that I type gives me hope that I'll never learn to shut up. LOL

How often do you get your haircut? Describe your worst haircut.
Every 5-6 weeks or so (and colored). The worst haircut wasn't a cut, but color. I dyed it myself because I had a date with a guy that I really liked, and ended up having hair that was olive drab. The date didn't go quite as planned, either. I should have stuck with the original color, and not drank quite so much. That whole story is probably worth a post in itself. lol

What's your most treasured piece of jewelry? Why?
Really? I could say my mother's bracelet or her ring, but my most treasured piece? My diamond necklace. I treasure it because it is worth something to me. It says that two and 1/2 years weren't completely wasted, that I was able to walk away from something with my dignity, my pride, and a damn fine piece of jewelery. And no the ex didn't give it to me - I took what he gave me, and traded it in for what *I* wanted.
