Thanks, BB.
Life here is getting more bearable. It's cooling down a little. It's only about 94 avarage now. 
Hair is still recovering. It's a little crunchy, straw-like at the ends. I'm going to do a hot oil treatment today and see if it helps. I also need to start really doing some S&D again. Since it's been so hot, I wear my hair up, but I've gotten out of the habit of combing, so I have knotts from when I put it up. I hope getting it softer will help with that.

Holy Smokes! It's kind of been a while?!? Wow, I like what you've done with the place. I leave for what, 2 months or so and you redo everythin. It's a nice and fun change. You have my approval.  

I missed you guys. Life has been a little crazy and the internet isn't always the easiest thing to get along with either. I think I'm just too lazy sometimes. But I'm back again!
My hair is doing much better. I have gone with 3 washes a week, usually Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays (depending on what's going on and if I feel like a wash or not) I am also becoming more regular with combing. I used to leave it uncombed for a couple washes and when I couldn't stand the rat's nest, would comb it. This would result in damage and that would be discouraging. I found if I comb after every shower (once it dries) it is much easier to handle and gets more healthier. Yah for healthy hair. It's nice and soft now. I still need to do some S&D, but I don't think I'm making too many more like I was.

Mom is doing wonderfully. She finished treatment and as a reward, she and my dad went to DC. Very fun for them. Her hair is growing back and it's about a .5" long. It used to be a medium dark blond, now it's a salt and pepper color. Very odd. She should be done now. I haven't heard otherwise yet. I have faith she's finished with this adventure.

Married life is wonderful and I couldn't be having a better time living with someone. We've decided to give our relationship a year to grow on its own before we upset it by having kids (which we will at some point soon) I'm excited for that time, but am enjoying life now.

That's about it for now. Wow, it's almost Dec. Geeze. Time flies when you're having fun.

Glad to know y'all remember me.  Well, here I am poping in again, now that it's the end of Jan. Life is good. Had a birthday. I'm a year older now.  My husband got dismissed from his job 2 weeks before Christmas and hasn't had a job since. He is currently interviewing for a history teaching position at a local jr. high. He's excited. His dream has been to teach and this would make his year.
My hair is suffering a little. I get lazy and don't comb it after it had dried from a shower. It does better if I brush it then rather then waiting until a couple days later.  Bad me. So, it needs a trim, but I don't know if that will help the splits. I do S&D every once in a while, but it's kind of rampant, so it doesn't seem to do much. *sigh.
Well, glad to see you all are still around and typing. I will drop by every once in a while and visit.
