Cynde  ROTF!!

Dear Hair Diary,

Well, my cold is almost gone! Got to wash my hair last night and it's sooo happy!  The beer rinse I used was great (mind, my neigbor who I borrowed the bottle from, was a bit confused on why I did not drink it!)  I had been putting Jojoba oil on the ends every night and there have tamed down pretty good since they still have dregs of black hair color on them.  I know I have to get a cut eventually but I dread it!   Just the thought of the hair dresser makes me cringe!  Anyway got my anniversay present yesterday, two lovely Kimono from Japan.  I have them on poles airing out in the bedroom.  I'm happy that I'm better as were going out on Saturday.  Must find new Japanese resturant as my old one, Taka, closed down suddenly. 

Bye for now!  8)

Thanks Cynde!  I'll be getting the obi's and Himo etc. soon.  Then I can wear them!  The purple one is more of a summer weight but the red is a winter weight.  We are finally getting a Dig camera so once I have everything there will be pictures! 8) 8) 8)

Oh!  Those are gorgeous!     The second one has a beautiful design on the bottom.

I can't wait for pictures either.

Dear Hair Dairy,

We had such a down pour today!  The thunder and lighting were wild!  At about 3:00 it went as dark as midnight and then it began to pour!  I thought what the heck, put on a bikini and washed my hair in the rain!  Damn that water was cold!  My hair felt a little dry afterwards but some jojoba oil helped that.  Tomorrow is the big 17 for Colin and I.  We'll probably go to Nikko in Oakville for dinner.  I really spoiled hubby when he got home.  Today at work he had a fall and skinned his right elbow and knee!  My poor baby!  So I put him in a bath with sea salt , massaged him then put burdock leaves on his sore joints.  He's resting now and is feeling better.  He's a very tall guy and well, he's got longer to fall them most.  Not to worry tomorrow he's getting even more treats! 
I can't think of what to wear to dinner ???  I am going to put my hair up in a Japanese style with sticks and flowers, but what to wear?  I cannot were my kimono as I don't have the obi's yet.  I'll think of something!

Bye for now

Thanks Sakina,  I do a spot of herbal medicine and that always helps

Juri - No problem!  I have trouble following the posts myself.   Yes!  I have seen Ichiroya Kimono's!  I tryed to win one on e-bay but I was outbid wth 1 second to go!!My husband was SOOO angry, me I just cried.  It was a pink kimono with cherry blossom motif, oh well...  My two Kimono are from Ryu Japan Antique in Osaka.  My Irotomesode and my Omeshi were, with shipping, $113 US,  $137CDN  for me. My obi set for one was $90 US (still waiting for that one to arrive!)  I found a website that will help me dress n the kimono properly and to tie the obi's in different styles.http://www.japaneselifestyle.com.au/fashion/tomesode_kimono.html  I noticed the obi are more expsensive then the Kimono!  But I'm also getting the underwear with that order as well so that's find.  Try e-bay, you never know you might get a great deal!   8)
