A little dirt on my face

So, the other day my mom left a little note saying "p.s. have you washed your face lately?? your upper lip looks a little dirty:) " So here you go mom ;)
Week 1
This is a picture of me in Finland...the beginning of my trip. Week 2

Week 3


Week 3 again...just different



Week 4




Today, week 5

It's harder to tell in some of the pictures, but I have NOT shaved my mustache since I left America...still going "strong", even though it's not my FAVORITE thing, it's not as bad as I thought it would be...both in looks and feel. I even had someone (Christina's mom) tell me she thought I looked "dashing" with it...whether or not that was sarcastic is maybe debatable, but hey, I'll take what I can get!

The fourth picture is the best.
The fifth picture is horrible.


AAAND... my mom was being serious.

I guess I don't have to worry about you getting the right food to eat. I see in the picture they have CheezIts in Russia. Loved hearing about your adventures. I bet your Dad will meet you at the airport with the flowbe in his hand. HaHa

To Christina's comment: maybe I'll keep the mustache then... :) and, I might face my fears (I think mom knows best how much I DISLIKE getting my haircut, or my fear of it at least...), but face my fears and venture out sometime in the next week...either that or just use the switch blade I bought at the rinok and cut it myself...
ps, dad, how much is a Flowbee? Professor Brown asked me today.

Joe.... I know how you hate your haircuts, but please, you really need one at this point and maybe have the barber give you a nice straight edge shave. NO, NO, NO to the flowbee. Oh how I shiver to think of the haircut that will come out of a flowbee. *yikes*
good luck I can't wait for the "new"pictures

Josef - I'm with Jane...a nice clean shave and haircut would help me sleep at night:) You look a little TOO European in these photos. When are you going to send a picture of Galina?

Josef, all I have to say is that mustache will be PERFECT for camping (pillaging and plundering) when you get back.

Well, I shaved the mustache a few weeks ago. But, since I was preparing to go to the Arctic Circle, I decided that I should not only let the 'stache grow again, I should just grow a full beard, so I did, and it's still going now.
