Colin, you have such a big forehead..with that receding hairline and all. That had to be a sweet spot for the priest to work with.
BHE...I was gonna say, go to any Catholic Church, but I found out a local Baptist church is doing the ashes thing for the second year in a row. OR.....and I'll deny saying this, but once in high school, we ditched school and used the ashes from our smokes to mark our own foreheads. I know, I need a lot of penance.
HA! MPM, I must be channeling you....I was gonna scrape some off my forehead into a ziplock baggie and send it to Big Hair Envy.
Whew. If I had to guess based on that second photo, you'd ban me for life. Something to do with lifting up a horse's tail. But I didn't have to guess because you told us.
...it's been so long...I first had no idea what you were talking about...I gave up the church in college when, missing my dad, I went on Father's Day....by myself- I saw a spot at the end of a pew on the aisle and sat down...and the lady next to me yelled,"YOU CAN"T SIT HERE THAT'S MY HUSBANDS SEAT!"...apparently he was helping do something...but I was so shoked and embarrassed I walked out and cried all the way home...and I never went back.
I always forget, every single year, why people have that on their head. I am so wierd. I mean, how can you forget Ash Wednesday every year? That is just ridiculous.

Graces needed? Indeed!
P.S. Where can I get some Lentin Ashes?
I got my ashes and then I rubbed brows with three people... it was a good day for all. Right. Sharing?

BTW, has anyone noticed the Grandma J could use a Top Dog Treatment on her hair?
Good for you. Did anyone try to clean your face off for you? I love that part..."um, excuse me, but you have some dirt on your forehead"
Too funny.

Thank you!
What a good Catholic girl you are. I am sure He forgave your youthful indescretion!!
You are simple beautiful, my dear!
I guessed it, too!
I'm glad you posted pictures of your real self.
AND...I am terribly sorry about my lack of memory. I can't believe I forgot the very first question of my very first Q & A, from you no less.
How can I keep my memory sharp? What's your secret?
I win!
I win again!
And again!
Okay, I'll stop.

So what'd ya give up for lent?
Good job! I got mine last night. Are you giving anything up for lent?
Just want you all to know, I don't give up anything for lent. I prefer the giving practice of penance.
I saw Taken yesterday, I can't remember if you've seen it. It was good.
I remember when one of my co-workers licked her thumb and wiped off a customers forehead because she thought it was dirt.
