Digital cameras are a blessing and a curse! They are nice and evil at the same time. I still have to sit down with mine and put the pic on my computer. (your other option is to take a picture and then scan it or get it on a cd and save it)

Hair ok today. Still waiting on the trim. It's in a braid, out of the way. It's kind of cold here (probably only 60 or so, but that's cold for me Roll Eyes

) I'm in a comfy sweater and will take a nap later after class gets out.

My wedding is in just over 4 months and I'm getting excited. We're going to stay in a little Bed and Breakfast the first couple nights. That's going to be fun. It's here in San Diego, so we're not traveling too far. Stuff is beginning to come together! Patience is the key. Cheesy

Only there for a few hours to go to the zoo. Anyhoo, it's cold and windy here today on the eastcoast. Where's that blanket? Isn't spring coming soooooooooooon??

Our "winter" isn't so winter. My hair must love me today. I washed it and it's curling nicely. Not too frizzy. It's been getting softer and softer. It seems to like the conditioner I'm using...which I don't remember the name of at the moment. Short post, lots to do. Meg

*sigh, it's Monday. I'm tired and don't want to be in school. Tongue

My weekends make me very happy because no classes/homework and I get to spend time with my fiance.
Mom's surgery went very well. Cheesy

They got it all out and none of the lymph nodes have it. She came home the same day (we were expecting her to stay at least a day) She looks good and is getting stronger. It's a load off my mind. They still have to decided what happens next, but I'm not worried.
Hair ok. I'm still waiting for my fiance to have time to trim it. I'm not measuring it for the month till he trims. It's pulled back in a bun because it's gross and I don't want to wash till it gets trimmed. I've decided to try putting jojoba oil in my hair the next time I wash. I don't know if I'm supposed to wait until it's almost dry or to try it right after I get out. We'll try both I guess.
Meg
ps. I going to try to get better pics. *cross fingers*

Got a trim!! Happy day. Cheesy

My hair feels so nice and healthy. I'm still chasing split ends, but I have a feeling that will continue for a while.

The jojoba in the wet hair worked, I think. It feels soft. I did it shortly after getting out and didn't need very much. I did my whole length. It seemed to work. I don't have very many tangles, which is nice too.

I've decided I'm going to take a picture of the trim and compair the length and the texture. A before and after, ya know. Wish me luck getting the camera to work for me. Tongue

Rain is a wonderful thing. I love going to bed listening to the sound of rain on the roof. It's a natural soother.

But, rain=cold and cold after a shower=much colder. *sigh. I am very cold blooded. I wear a sweatshirt when everyone else is in tee shirts. Good thing I'm marrying a hot man. Wink

So, to prevent getting too cold, I took a shower this morning and put it up in a bun while it was wet. I used little clippies to keep it up. I washed it at 5 this morning and just took it down and I'm still damp. The hair on my scalp is straight and the rest is damp, twisty curly. It's a funny combo.

School is stressing me out. Our play opens in a week and I'm running aroun like a chicken with its head cut off or something to that effect. After the end of next week, my life will get better. After the 13th of May (graduation) my life will get mmmmuuuuuccchhhh simplier. I'm ready to be done with school, if you couldn't tell. Grin

My mom went to the doctors on Monday (her birthday) and she has to go back in for more surgery because they didn't get it all. She's also going to have to have chemo and radiation. Nothing like more stuff to make life more fun. Tongue

Keep thinking of us.

((((Hugs))))) for you and your mom.

As for rain - we have having a true spring thunderstorm this morning. Thunder is booming and the rain is pouring down. The strange part is that it is really WARM out (at least for us!). It is 50 degrees at 7am! I like spring rains - they clean everything up and help melt the last, ugly snow piles.

OK - I know I'm strange - but then I love to live in MN! Grin

Thank you all.
Yep, rain sure does clean it all up. The sky is a beautiful blue and everything is clear. It's a nice crisp 65 degrees. Cheesy

I've been home this afternoon and playing with the pictures we had taken as engagement pictures. I found the fun ones that feature my hair and want to show them to you. These were taken in Febuary and because they are in black and white don't show my color.

This one shows off my length and my funny streak. My hair has natural highlights and the streak in the back is one. The place where it stops in the growth I've gotten since May of '04.

My hair here is a little messy but you can see what it does normally with the curls. I like it. It makes it easy to style. Pile on top, bobbie pin and viola, nice hair style. Cheesy

For these pictures, we went to a park that has an organ pavillion and took pictures there. It was a cold day and when we weren't taking pictures, I was wearing a jacket!
