Thank you ladies Kiss

and I'm glad posting the questions was helpful.

Hair. In the past few days, I"ve been experimenting with the infinity bun. I stopped liking the figure-8 bun after awhile because there was so much tension at the hairline when I "peeled" the top coil off. So I stopped doing the figure-8 bun eventually. In the past few days, the infinity bun has been extremely comfortable. I have a 7-inch hazelnut dymondwood Mamacat stick that works quite well for this purpose. So far it's been holding quite well, without scalp ache, without tension, and overall it's a very light bun. I think I've found a new "regular favorite" updo.

In other hair news:
(1) I haven't seen a massive amount of shedding. My hair thickness hasn't changed very much, or if it has then I haven't noticed. It's been quite cold lately so I've been wearing updos, stuffing my hair into fleece hats, and other such business. There isn't much opportunity to obsess over any loss of length or thickness, which leads me to...
(2) The recent "tangle dust trim".. which means trimming off entire (but minor) tangles that occur near the ends when I am combing. Tangles are an indicator that I need to trim anyway, so in that case it was better to be selective about it and trim only the tangles. Even so, there's a slight loss in hanging length of about 1 cm. My biggest length concern is just an annoyance: the fact that my hair isn't long enough to be HEAVY enough to travel over my shoulder without leaving a shoulder wave

I haven't done an official update in ages. I haven't had any wet or dry routine change for a long time, but now there's cause for one... next post

Thank you ladies

and..

drumroll please...

my Secret Santa is... PANPEUS! Cheesy

Panpeus sent me a 7-foot glitter scarflet. It's knee-length! Grin

It's one of those cute skinny scarves so I call it a scarflet Grin

It has bits of tinsel holding the fibers together. It's just so cute and bold and fabulous. I tried it on today by braiding it into my single braid, and not only did it look quite cool, but it also made my hair feel like tailbone length (instantly). I have photos of it but can't load them yet, so that will be (hopefully) on tomorrow's to-do list. Thank you Pan!

(But I think the sock curling link on the main page needs to be fixed. Instead of anaissatin...../sockcurling/howtosockcurl.html, it reads anaissatin..../sockcurling\howtosockcurl.html so the link leads to an error page)

The lake has partially frozen Don't be fooled though, the reflective portion is frozen too! There are rocks sitting out on the surface. I threw them out there because it made a hollow bamboo pipe sound. It sounded like a Polynesian instrument.

And this is what it looks like an inch below the first layer of lake ice They look kind of like chromosomes, but it's kind of hard to tell in this shot.

I met a guy today who had never seen snow before in his entire life. He came over from the Middle East, and of course they don't have snow there because it reaches up to 50*C. The one time in my life I wish I knew how to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit ON THE SPOT! Gosh Roll Eyes

And here's the scarf from Pan:

Thanks so much, hon! Cheesy

Edited to add: I clicked and everything works fine. Is anyone else having problems with the Sock Curling page? Edited to add again: I see what happened. It's probably the browser not automatically converting backslashes to slashes. I'll fix the backslash. Thanks Juri!

You're welcome! I checked in IE and Firefox; everything is working A-OK. I don't know if the error page would show up on IE, but I use Firefox and would always get it (although the link to the sock curling page in your sig would work).

Anyhoo, thank you for fixing the link, and the latest pics in your journal are lovely!

I thought the colors would bring out the colors in your hair. The new site looks very nice! What typeface did you use for your little gems? It gives the site a whimsical look. Definately cool. Glad you like the present! =)

I'm not sure what part of Saudi Arabia, but he's from a non-mountainous region.

The font used in the icons is Freehand 591. It should be available through Microsoft Office, or it is also available as freeware through an Italian site that I cannot find right now. Sendmefile.com is hosting this font for me for the next 14 days if anyone is interested. It is in .zip extension, but it's a safe download and there is also no encryption.

Thanks everyone

I'm glad the link works now.
