It´s sanni-licious

TheTeach has tagged me for this meme a while ago. I greatly appreciate this tag for many reasons:
First and foremost because I was tagged by TheTeach and the MEME helped me answering a question that bothered me for a long time. I remembered I´ve played a similar game many moons ago. It was named “SEVEN“. Digging through my archives I found the MEME and a hint… about me and my hair… a while back I couldn´t imagine to get my hair cut short - so why should I do it now??? Oh those pregnancy hormones… =)

Now, with no further ado, back to the game:
