Thanks you guys. I appreciate it. Nothing so far. She does have an appointment to go in next week to make another appointment then they will go in and take a sample of it then they have to check the sample to see what it is....you would think this wouldn't take so long.   Well, I'm not too worried for now, because there's nothing I can do.
School is good. I'm so thankful for the semester I'm having. Only 6 classes=12 units and 3 are givens (don't have to try too hard, tennis, weight lifting and a psy class that I can either pass or fail, passing being the best option  ) So, I only have 3 classes to worry about and 2 don't even have tests! Yep, my last semester couldn't have come together any better.

Hair being good. Ends still suffering but I think they may be getting better. did a little s&d when in a boring class. It's in 2 braids to keep it up and out of the way. I'm considering a deep conditioner when I have the time. I don't know what exactly I want to do. I have to poke my nose around and see what other people like to do.

Hi, Meg.  I am also really working on growing my hair out and with our texture of hair I think it is important to have regular trims.  I get mine every 10 weeks.  Since our hair tends to be dryer it splits easily and will look better with a little taken off.  Like 1/4".  Maybe 1/2" if they're bad.  I just had a trim yesterday and no one can tell.  I can, of course but she really only took off the bare minimum.  She knows I'm going for BSL AND she's a curly herself so she knows how to cut it.
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for my lovely gifts, BTW!!!

I go to a salon.  When I told my beautician what I wanted, I looked her straight in the eye and used a clear tone of voice that conveyed my intentions.
I've had two trims from her with very good results.

I'm so sorry about your mom Meg , I hope it stays that way...not life threatning. And of coarse your family will be in my prayers.


Good luck preparing for your wedding!

Wishing, I'll bet helping with your wedding will keep your mom's spirits high during her treatment.     I had 6 rounds of chemo back in 2003 for ovarian cancer, so if I can answer any questions I'd be glad to try and help  *hugs*

Cold and grey day. Trying to rain, which would be cool, if it would just make up its mind.  I think it's effecting my body. I'm lazy and sleepy and my body is sore. I played a basketball game yesterday and I fell, scraping up my leg pretty good. *sigh, I'm always hurting myself or making a mess. No premanent damage, just sore and bruised.

Hair not sure what to think. I wanted to do a quick shower this morning so I skipped my shampoo of my CWC. I used a little of my light con. on my hair line and it's a little greasy. I'll see how it feels tomorrow. My curls are nice though. Did a little trimming of splits during class (which is the best way to do it, getting 2 birds with one stone )

I'm trying to figure out how to keep my hair out of the way without a ponytail (because for some reason it tangles really bad when just in a ponytail) but the ends straighten and get brittle when I put it in a bun. I don't know what to do with myself. *sigh. Any ideas would be appreciated. I do't want to forever wear a braid.

I'll have to try that. Yep, it works. It's fun to be able to tell people I can tie my hair in a knot. 

Rain today, finally. It's been forever since it rained. We've only gotten about 2 inches this year when usually by this time we have gotten about 10. I like the rain. It makes me sleepy and I just want to curl up with a book in a warm room and some hot chocolate. I guess I'm spoiled because I can do that now if I want.

Hair greasy. I guess it didn't like the skipping the shampooing and just using conditioner. Oh well. It's a hat day anyway.

It was a bad morning.  My car wouldn't start and I had to drive the car my mom was going to use. My dogs, who came outside to sniff around while I was trying to start the car wandered off and it took my sister and I about 15 min. to find them. Bad doggies. Traffic was slow and my leg began to cramp up because it was still sore from the basketball game on Sunday. When I got to school, I had to park farther away from the building than I wanted to because I didn't have the proper parking permit on my car. Sigh, at least my tennis class was canceled and I can relax till 11. That's one good thing. I hope the rest of the day goes better.
Meg

Ok, so trim still on hold. I have to find time and get my fiance to hold still.  
I found a split end today that horrified me!! It was split about 4 inches up and every quarter inch or so had a little hair branch. I was aghast!   I didn't know they came that bad. *sigh, I hope my trim helps.

My mom is scheduled to go in for surgery on Friday. She is getting a lumpoctomy (spelling??) They are going in to take out some of her lymp node and then they look at it and decide if they need to take out more and if they then take out more, then they look at that and decide if they need more....etc. It's a process! So, think of us/pray for us if you remember on Friday.

School is beginning to pick up. Projects are coming and papers need to be done. I got my commencement package yesterday in the mail, so I'm getting excited about graduation!!   Just 8 more weeks.
