Picture time! Shorter hair and weird mail

I got my haircut by a beauty school student yesterday, and she did a really nice job. The photo is a little blurry, which is why I shrank it so small. I'll probably take a better picture soon and swap out my long-hair icon photos for one with the new 'do.

And, I had to show this to someone. It may possibly be the most surreal batch of mail I've ever gotten. It's not so much any one piece, but the combination. I received only three pieces of mail yesterday, and this is what I got. From top to bottom, 1) "Freethought Today," the monthly newsletter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, 2) a letter from the Saint Matthew Churches that contained a paper "prayer rug" with an optical illusion Jesus on it, an offer to send me a beautiful gold cross in exchange for a donation, and a sealed "prophecy" that I could only open after I sent in my donation, 3) an invitation to attend the Women's Gathering in Virginia, where I could partake of women's rituals, mud pits, bonfires, and drumming circles.

(the photos WILL load, but you might have to refresh the page once or twice. I'm not sure why our photo page is acting funky this morning.)

So what was the supposed prophecy? You will find success in everything you do (in bed)?

Classic cold reading sort of thing. Not the exact words, but the gist was:
"You have a big decision you need to make. Keep listening to my (Jesus') guidance, and the answer will become clear."

You should get a flickr account for your pictures, you can store a bazillion.
