Pretty, pretty, pretty!!!  Glad you had a nice anniversary. 

Thanks for sharing your picture!

Well, it's not like me to miss a journal entry but I was exhausted after teaching on Tuesday.
Yesterday I took my first ever ballet lesson.  It was awesome.  I'm greatful my legs aren't too sore this morning!  I wore my hair in a bun with LL sticks, how cute I was in my leotard.  (Ahem)
Today I'm teaching at 6:30 again and I'd really rather stay home.  I have my regular class at 8:30, but then I'm done for the week.  My weekend starts at 9:30am Thursday morning.
I feel better now just having read that.
Gotta go get ready for work.
It's going to be a great day!

Well...didn't go to ballet yesterday after massage, just came home and rested.  Did go to restaurant to meet hubby's coworkers-really fun.  Forgot to get pic of hair.  It was still quite damp from washing and I put it up in a bun-kinda loose and a little off center.  Very casual and a little bit funky.  Wore Glass Gardens Duetstix.  I've been waiting to wear them and last night was the night.
Luckily I put gel in my hair, on instinct, 'cause we were outside on the patio.  It was rather windy last night!  My hair stayed put, perfectly.  This was one of the few times I didn't put a pony in first before twisting and wrapping the bun.  It may be the main reason my bun was off center?  Hmm.  It stayed until I took it down-took 5 or 6 bobby pins.  My hair isn't long enough to hold a decent looking bun with hairstix only.  Still waiting on that...
After meeting his friends we went  to a restaurant that has live jazz on Friday nights.  We really made an evening of it.  Really fun.

Today we have a wedding to attend.  I forgot about it.  Not feeling too prepared clothing wise, and its at 2:00pm.  Hopefully hubby will not forget to take pic of hair today!!

Gotta go figure out what I'm wearing and which hairsticks-  I'm initially thinking 1/2 pony bun w/ rest of hair twisted into french twist w/comb and then adding hairstix.  Geisha?  Combo?  Decisions, decisions!!

What a beautiful style! Looks like you've spent hours in making it.

Beautiful hairsticks too  !

G_L, I was wondering if anyone would ask about the name with the picture present.  Ha, guess it's you.
The sticks in the photo are:
It's getting harder for me to remember the names, there are so many!

I'm sooooooo happy!  My good news:  I'm singing "It's All Right With Me" first, "Jimmy" second.  Why is this good news?  Make up and hair + wardrobe transitions!!!
Yippee!! Yahoo!  Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonus good news, my shoes from How Cool arrived.  Black pattent mary janes w/ 3 inch heel and red glitter platform mary janes w/ 5 inch heel.  Perhaps I'll have to be Dorothy from Wizard of Oz for Halloween-the sexy version.  Wonder if hubby will be Toto?  Probably the Cowardly Lion since he's a Leo.  Hee hee.

Voice lesson went very well today.  A few tweeks here and there-I didn't realize how much the worry over makeup & hair transitions was stressing me out!  Problem solved, funk eleminated     

Well, Styg, some of the color is natural.  It isn't henna, it's what's left over from permanent red, semi-permanent ashy blond (but I think that has washed out since it has been 7 weeks since last salon visit) and I think the hairspray makes it look shiny.  Thanks for the compliment, just the same 

*sigh*  Today was my last day to sub at 6:30AM, so last day I teach 4 classes in a row, too.  Pony w/scrunchi it is!!
Whew!  With PMS on top I'm barely functioning at this point.  Thank goodness hubby cooks!  He will be tonight at least!  Ha.

Hark!  I hear the garage door, he's arrived!  "Feed me, Seymore!"

I think I'm sick.  Thank goodness I don't have to teach again until Sunday.  I got a chance to give subbing on Saturday to someone else (she called me-that's never happened before!!) and so I'm free!  Headache is creeping up on me...

Dusted my ends a bit today, have that trim coming on Tuesday.  Why is it that my hair starts to feel long just before I'm scheduled for a trim?  A micro trim, me thinks!!

Still waiting on my book, hairstyles from the last 5,000 years.
My makeup from every era should be here by next Wednesday.  Hooray for reference books!  I love books.

I think I'm going to go lay down again.  Feeling a bit whoosy.

Oh, I did want to say that I'm amazed at how tangle free my hair is when I sleep with it french braided.  Yeah.

I still have that dumb headache, so I've not showered in several days.  I don't think my hair's ever been so flat. 
The winds are high again which may be contributing to this prolonged head pain.
I've been struggling lately, realizing choices I made in the past have harmed me.  Where do I begin to tell myself the truth?  To turn around a habbit of unloving myself-giving my power to others.  Its an ugly feeling I have, and a sad one too.  I hope I can find the courage to change this.
More hairsticks on the way.  Although I love Susan's work, adding more beauty to the world I sometimes think I buy hairsticks to make myself feel better.
Perhaps I can come up with a better plan.
