Thank you. Good luck indeed. Wink

Today I did the clarifying routine yet again. *sigh*
I put the showerhead on its water saver setting and did the usual.

Pantene Purity shampoo, vinegar rinse, Purity shampoo again, Daily Moisture Renewal conditioner. Finished with a light conditioner (I'm still trying to use the last of it up). Cold water all the way.

In the end, my hair felt fabulous! I didn't use any leave-ins. Just let it air dry before detangling it with my Rachael Stephens #45. It all felt very natural, so I don't regret doing it.

I was going to try and measure my hair today, so I left it down all day, not wishing for an updo to curl it up. But wouldn't you know it...I sorta almost fell asleep in my boyfriend's arms. That kinked my hair up nicely. Undecided

Surrendering to the fact that I would just have to measure tomorrow, I put in the Overnight Repair Intensive Treatment. And here I sit hours later.

I suppose I'll have to go to bed sometime...

This morning I was rudely awakened by my boyfriend who had a sudden, overpowering urge to play disc golf at 6:00 in the morning. Angry

I was able to fall back asleep again, fortunately. Even if only for a little while.

I actually got up around 10:00 and headed straight for the shower to rinse out my overnight treatment. Then I washed with Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal shampoo, and put in a deep conditioning treatment.
I still have it in. Actually, I've lost track of how long it's been in, but I'm sure it must have been a couple of hours by now. Tongue

I've eaten almost an entire bag of raw spaghetti. That and a Granny Smith apple are all I've had to eat all day. Sad

My boyfriend wants to catch a matinée movie this afternoon. We're going to try and see "Munich."

*sigh* He returned briefly around noon, but is gone again. I've never been kidding when I said that to be with him is to be without him.
He says he's going back to disc golf some more with a buddy...but after all of the bs he's pulled within the last year, it would be unnatural for my suspicions not to be arroused. I just don't know about that guy. Sad

Anywho, my bag of spaghetti is now empty, so I'll take that as a cue to rinse this stuff out of my hair & start the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. It's my birthday.

Happy birthday to me.

Today I once again woke up filled with anticipation for what my shower had in store. I was going to use Herbal Essences today, which is always a sensual joy to me.

Of course, I had to clean up the bathroom somewhat, as the dæmon roommate had recently taken a shower himself...and used MY Rainforest Flowers shampoo! Angry

I don't know why that irks me, but it does. I mean, it does chemically burn my skin & I want to get rid of it ASAP...but it's just something about the idea of him using my stuff without permission. He does it all the freaking time. Bloody freeloader. Angry

Anywho, after returning the bathroom back to an almost acceptable state, I hopped into the shower & tried to make the most of it. You can bet I power-rinsed those red bottles with VERY hot water, too. I can't stand the idea of touching things after he's touched them. I know well enough where his hands have been. Tongue

I washed twice with the red Rainforest Flowers Replenishing shampoo, and conditioned twice with the matching conditioner.
What I love about Herbal Essences is that it really makes my hair feel clean after using it. Pantene is so loaded up with cones and conditioners that it leaves a very thick film behind, even after lots of rinsing.

About halfway through my shower, my boyfriend came barging into the bathroom and told me that I wasn't supposed to be up yet. ??? He had been gone all morning...and had apparently brought back breakfast, which he had intended to serve to me in bed. Aww. And I had to to and toss a wrench into such sweet plans. Undecided

He actually came in several more times, leading on and on about some secret plans and the difficulties he was having trying to make them work out, but not telling me much so as not to foil my surprise...basically just being vague enough to confuse the crap out of me. ??? That boy's up to something.

So anyway, apparently, he had to go up to a friend's house to work out part of the details, and I could finally finish my shower without interruption. Oy.

So after all of this and some drying and dressing, I used Herbal Essences leave-in conditioner (yes, I realize the 2nd ingredient is a cone Undecided

) and some other leave-in conditioner that I had lying around and am trying to use up. Carefully detangled with my Rachael Stephens #45, which I had washed last night along with all of my other combs & brushes, and went about the day.

I heated up & buttered the cranberry muffin that my beloved had brought back for me and started a load of laundry.

It's funny...for a long time, my birthdays would always end up being the worst days of my life. The sort of Murphy's Law days where everything that can possibly go wrong does, and then you're slammed with major unexpected catastrophes on top of that. But so far, that hasn't happened. *looks around, expecting a piano to fall through the ceiling...or my roommate to walk in* Tongue

So far as plans tonight, I think my family is taking me to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. My boyfriend will be there...unless he gets a call. Angry

MAN, would that ruin things. I can see it now. We've all just ordered when suddenly, his phone rings, he gets up and bails on my birthday dinner, I'm left feeling utterly abandoned and everyone else at the table suddenly has nothing good to say about him. Undecided

!! Egad.

But even if it does come to that, next weekend is for us. He's planned it out.
I have no idea what's in store...but I know the depths of his singular creativity, so I'll just have to be ready for it, whatever it may be.

I hope you had a great B-day Cheesy

P.S. i hope your cough is gone Undecided

P.P.S. make sure that it isn't mixed with any other herb

And again Happy Birthday Cheesy

ETA: i love your poetry, it's beautiful

Thank you kindly, everyone!! I am touched. Cheesy

My sister had to work last night, so she wouldn't have been able to come to the Cheesecake Factory. Sad

So I decided to move my birthday dinner to the restaurant where she works instead: The Claim Jumper.
Not only would she be there, but it's cheaper, there's less pressure to look nice (my complexion has been rebelling lately), and my sister's new boyfriend, who also works there, would likely be there as well and I would finally get to meet him.

Dinner was nice. I had something called a B&B Burger, which consists of about a half pound of meat, bacon, blue cheese and some other stuff. It was probably the biggest burger I've ever seen.
My father had a steak and freakishly large onion rings. I swear, the onion that they used to make them must have been the size of a small pumpkin. Shocked

My mother had an enormous club sandwich.

We even ordered something for my boyfriend who was on call & would try to meet up with us later. His favourite item on the menu is the Stuffed Baked Idaho, which is (duh) a baked potato.....with everything in it.

My parents gave me 2 cards with $$$ inside. Woohoo!

Toward the end of dinner, my boyfriend finally showed up - looking like a million bucks. His hair was still wet from the shower and his blonde "surfer" hair was slicked back....the ends reach his shoulders now. Wink

He had on nice, clean shirt, but whispered to me when I got up to hug him that his pants were really dirty. Tongue

haha

We then relocated to the bar, where my sister works. There, she took our drink orders, and my boyfriend got to have his potato.
My sis returned with our drinks and had covered the top of my Shirley Temple with cherries, muttering something about it being "special for the birthday girl." Grin

I love that kid.

She brought out a total of 3 desserts to us: The raspberry white chocolate cheesecake that I had ordered, the GIANT ice cream cookie sandwich that my mother ordered and a special ice cream cake with a candle in it just for me.

Everyone sang Happy Birthday to me, and for the moment I thought about what a trip it was to be flanked by 2 such fine singers - my father and my boyfriend (the latter of which threw in a couple of grace notes at the end, which I dug!)

Then I made a wish and (accidentally, by laughing) blew out the candle.

I ate most of my ice cream cake and part of my cheesecake while my parents & boyfriend shared the ice cream cookie sandwich. Most of the cheesecake, however, I boxed up, took home & had for breakfast this morning. Tongue

And as to the allusions to this big surprise present that my boyfriend has planned for me, this morning he said, "Bring a swimsuit." ???
All I can think is a swimsuit? In January?? We must be going someplace really hot! Undecided

This evening he said something like, "I've already paid," and "It's non-refundable."

All in all, a good birthday. And the mystery builds...

Aww, pan. She must be to have such a cool, devoted daughter.

More clues this morning. My boyfriend confirmed that the place he's whisking me away to this weekend is indeed quite warm Undecided

I don't dig heat!

He said it is also about 6 hours away, but is NOT Las Vegas. Darn!

He also said that we have to take my car. Shocked

WTF, mate?! He knows what sort of condition it's in! Is he nuts?! Granted, his truck would never make it, but I'm not sure that my car would either! Plus, it's a Mercedes!! If anything goes wrong with it, repairs are 3-5 times the cost of any other car. I still need to drive it to & from work every day after this trip, ya know... Angry

Thus, the plot thickens, and my curiosity is ever arroused. ???

I've jumped back onto the Pantene 10-Day Challenge. My hair is in need of some serious repair these days! The ends are so dry it ain't funny - I worry that they will split soon! I have already adjusted my oil spray to be evenly ½ baby oil and ½ water, and I am planning (remorsefully) to take a full inch off upon my next trim. Sad

I have simply put too much time between my last trim and my next.

I've been trying for 2 days to contact the lady who trims my hair, but she hasn't been home. I'm beginning to panic. Sad

I won't be able to trim or do any treatments this weekend due to being out of town, so I've been trying like heck to get in touch with the scissor lady to see if she can save my hair from utter ruin on Thursday. *draws an unsteady breath* It's my last hope.

I got a birthday card from my grandparents in WA today. Enclosed was yet another check made out to my married name. They sent one for Christmas as well. Undecided

I'm going to send them a thank you card with both checks enclosed, politely informing them that I haven't used that accursed name in 2 years, and all of my ID has long since been changed.

Anywho, once again I have no idea how long I've had this current treatment in my hair, but I must rinse it out now. Then it's off to the mall - woohoo!

I am so tired. Sad
