Yesterday was my birthday. I'm 22 now!  This is good because my fiance is 24 and that makes our ages closer. We went out to eat at a mexican resturant called On the Border. The waiter gave me a free brownie and ice cream on top. It was good.

I wanted to wear my hair up because when I wear my hair down it makes me look younger for some reason and people ask dumb questions like "when are you graduating high school?" and want to know if I'm 16. sigh, it will be a nice thing later in life, but having a fiance who looks 38 and looking 16 myself does cause some uninformed people to ask questions. 

I wrestled with my hair to find out what it wanted to do and finally just put it in a high bun with clips to hold it up and a beaded ribbon as decoration wrapped around the bun.

Hair is slowly getting better. The ends don't act as dry. They are still a little, but not as much. I did a little S&D during my afternoon class to prevent sleeping.  My friend told me she wants to find me a pair of little sewing scissors that fit in your pocket to give me for my birthday. That will be nice so I won't have to keep using fingernail clippers.

Happy Birthday (belated) to you!  I am also younger looking than my age and also found it annoying that people thought I was younger so they often treated me like I didn't know what I was doing.  We'll show them, won't we?
I turn 36 on Wednesday, and only stopped getting carded about a year or so ago.
It gets better when people just think you're in your mid-20's.

Have you tried unrefined coconut oil?  My waves really like it, after olive oil became too heavy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

At least people think you're in high school. When I was a sophomore in college, I had a classmate who told me that someone asked her what elementary school she went to. 

Yeah! My one-act went well. My actors did wonderfully and I'm so glad it's all done. It's a load off my chest.

True, there has been more drama in my life. Our school is doing their last show of the year and I really wanted to be in it. I have been a theatre major for 3 years and haven't acted on stage once. I wanted the opportunity to try. so, I auditioned, but didn't get a part. The director didn't cast me because she wanted me to be a crew member instead.  I was upset. I have been every backstage crew member there is possible and I know I'm an asset to have, but I want the chance to try acting to get the experience. Nope, no such luck. *sigh. She doesn't realize how important it was to me.  I'll be fine. I've decided to help the costume mistresses because it's a big cast and she'll need any help she can get.

Hair behaving. My split ends are rampent, but I did a little taming and I think I made a little dent in the amount of splits I have. It's a never ending battle. I will oil tonight to see if that helps. The health of the length is nice and soft. It's in a braid right now. I try to keep it up because of my pe classes. It's probably better for it anyway.

John and I pinned down a date! July 22nd. That's 6 months away. Lots to do. My mom is making my dress and is starting out by making a muslin version to see what it looks like on me. I got to try it yesterday.  It's so exciting! We went to a bridal fair on Sunday. There was a huge room with about 10 or 12 rows that were around a block and a half long full of venders and information. My head swam. It was a little overwhelming. But, I survived and we collected lots of information. So, plans are coming along.

School is finishing it's 4th week of school. Only 13 weeks left of school!

Thanks BB. I'm doing much better today. 
Wedding plans coming along. Yesterday I drove around town looking into various places that make cakes. One sounds perfect and the people were so nice and helpful in giving me options on how to save money. A rare thing.

My fiance is getting a new job and it is stressing him out. He knows this new job will be good and he will enjoy it, but he will have to leave the place he's working now, which he has been at for over 3 years. He's very attached to the people and it's making him sad to think of leaving them. I feel a little helpless because all I can do is stand by him and try to help him through this change. 

My hair is wonderful today. I combed it out last night and washed it this morning. I don't know what makes such the difference, but my hair has only a little frizz. Maybe it's the fact that I sat and watched a movie while it dried instead of walking around campus and messing it up. I don't know. It feels long today. It's nice to think about my hair once it grows to my goal length. For not I can just wish.

I'll keep you and your mother in my thoughts and hope for good results.
