Happy Birthday to Sakina and me JOY!

Hair. I really want to henna my hair again, this time the entire head. The only hard part is finding a good time to do it because there IS no good time to do it. Management is making me crazy. I am just so incredibly tired. Fried. My last wash was on Thursday evening of last week. I should probably do another full wash tomorrow night before New Year celebrations begin. And I'm itching to give Ficcare Maximas one last try before giving up on it, so I'll be getting one in the correct size to see how this goes.

I made another prime rib roast


and the moss is coming in! "Spring is here a-SSSSprrring is here! Life is skittles and life is....... " (Tom Lehrer, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park)


It's just one of those brain-fry weeks where I can only look forward to the weekend when I can SLEEP. and to the rest of the week when STUFF arrives in the mail (BPAL Budding Moon tee from Trading Post, and glass sculpture)

Stuff to do:

buy and ship a RED THING for my special exchange buddy whose hair is not red, who can use oils and butters successfully, who likes cats, and lives in the U.S. (VERY specific )

buy and ship a pair of silly socks for my SSB

Wow, there are so many people i know born in January (about 15)!!


Best hair wishes coming fast

Happy birthday girl!  I hope you had a good one. =)

25th, 26th were awesome... Thanks everyone for your well-wishes! I go to have lunch with a friend who moved back from England and got to catch up with all her recent happenings. (I. LOVE. MEXICAN FOOD). First big staff meeting went well, and we even ordered pizza for it

We spent Lunar New Year's at my grandmother's house. It was a lot of family and a lot of food. We had an entire feast-style meal (pictures soon). Spent time with the kids, went to the playground, flew kites, caught up with family members... ate a lot of homemade food. Happy New Year everyone

Hair. I hennaed a very small portion of my natural-taper-bangs on the 25th. During our family reunion, everyone commented on how long my hair was getting and whether I would be cutting it soon (I said nope). I have the longest hair in the clan right now.
Wore my red microfleece "fleece Buff knockoff" for most of the day because it was incredibly windy. It was a "neckwarmer" and cost 2 bucks, but it made a great snood. The best part was the drawstring opening at the back, which meant I could wear it as a bandana or a snoodhat. The last hairwash was on Thursday which makes today fourth-day hair.

I also hennaed a portion of my instep/ankle. The henna mix needed to be a little thicker, to avoid bleeding lines, have a sharper quality. It was just a late-night decision to mix and go in a 1/2 hour. Got home at 8pm, it was so late by the time I'd gotten everything done that I needed to do, and I went to bed at 1 am totally fried. It's been like this for a couple weeks now.



Bought cat socks at Walmart for $2

I love your kitty socks!  This weekend I picked some darling socks for future sock exchanges!  I love to find "good buys".
