you've got comments



If you have visited my blog a few times, you probably know that I love the movie You've Got Mail. What you might not know is that many times after watching the film I schedule a hair appointment and bring a print-out of Meg as Kathleen Kelly.



I should've worn a cardigan! (It's been a while since my hair was this short but I am liking the change and it takes less time to blow dry.) Anyway . . . Below you will find one of my favorite posts from last winter. Hope you don't mind the rerun.

the personality of the ornaments



Greetings from snowy Rhode Island! Saturday we took down our Christmas tree. My boys turned the somewhat daunting task into a game by sorting out their favorite ornaments. I did the same and realized that I am gathering quite a cute collection of little snowmen. Being a blogger, of course I had to take a quick break to snap some photos!

It's funny because looking at each snowman individually in these pictures, they seem to have their own personalities. This guy above looks very friendly: "Good to meet'cha!"

(Okay, I hope I am not sounding too crazy. Maybe I should've waited to do this post until after breakfast!)


mild mannered and welcoming



sweet and bashful


a nice kid


busy


shy and would sound like winnie-the-pooh


a bit goofy but funny

Okay, time to eat! xo

Elyse, you are a doll!! The hair style suits you so well :) It is funny because I got my hair cut on Friday. I was so upset because I had to get FOUR inches cut off!!!!! That is what I get for waiting to get a trim for so long, lol! I look terrible in short hair. You are so lucky to be able to pull it off so well :) Mine is to the middle of my back and takes forever to blow dry!

I love the post about the snowmen ornaments, just so adorable!!
Love ya,
Amy

caroline joy said...

Great movie -- she had great hair and clothes too! I love snowmen, and especially the one that would "sound like Winnie the Pooh". Too cute :)

Unknown said...

What a darling cut, Elyse. It shows off your eyes.

The snowmen are cute as can be ... it doesn't take much to realize all of a sudden a 'collection' has accrued quickly, does it.

Merry Christmas,

Elyse, You are a cutiepie! I love your hair and if I had not seen Meg Ryan first, I would have thought it was you:) I love that movie too! I so enjoyed your re-gift of the post! Sometimes they are just good enough to see twice! Have a blessed day!

Diva Kreszl said...

Claudia said...

How cute your haircut is! I love that movie - I just watched it the other day. I always want Meg Ryan's wardrobe, too! And her apartment, which is so, so wonderful!

Cute hair!

I love that movie as well. She is so cute! I often try to get Meg Ryan hair, but it is not the Kathleen Kelly style so much, I don't think. Besides my hair is super curly, so it never works like hers.

SUCH a cute haircut, Elyse--fits you perfectly! I love that movie--haven't seen it in a while--time to watch it again!

Your snowmen are adorable--hope you're having a wonderful Christmas week with your family!

Elyse, I LOVE your new hair~cut! It's so cute and so are you! A very flattering picture! I know what you mean about You've Got Mail! I can watch that over and over! Remember we talked about Kathleen's "linen" dress and sweater?! We need to be on the hunt for that dress, or better yet, sew one! LOL! Get your sewing machine out again Elyse...I will look for the linen fabric!

Love,
Maryjane

Oh, that's cute! You are lucky that you look good in the hairdo of your hair "idol"! That's awesome.

Now that I'm in my 40's, I tend to keep my hair shorter too. I always loved Meg's short hairstyles and always refer to her when I go for a hair cut. I am doing the shaggy thing now as it is so easy to blow and go. I don't like hairstyles that take a lot of primping. Your little snowmen are adorable! All with such contrasting personalities! Wishing you a day of blessings :) Tammy

fitty's pinky rose cottage said...

Elyse, you look pretty with the new hairdo!..

Jen Kershner said...

Elyse-
Guess what? I do the same thing! I have Meg Ryan pics from all stages of hair that I save on my computer and take in with me. I'm so glad I have a friend that is equally crazy! That hairstyle looks GREAT on you! I watched the movie last night so hopefully I can resist the urge to cut my hair. Be strong, right?

Love your snowmen. They are a favorite of mine too!

Fav movie, and your haircut looks fantastic!
Love the little snowmen, and as I looked at each one, I came up with my own little name-the-personality guess before reading yours. I guessed pretty much the same as you - I may have actually dated some of these guys. :)
Have a Happy Day!
