Hi Beesan16!  I went to a Wild Oats store over the holidays and they had organic red palm oil (and organic coconut oil, and grapeseed oil, and macadamia nut oil...)  I think most larger cities have a Wild Oats so if you live near one you can get a nice selection of oils without having to order everything.

I hope your headache's better, and have a great New Year!   

New Years Eve

So far the plan for tommorow is to go to Chicago. And that really ruins alot of my hair plans-well all of them since i was planning on oiling, and do an herbal rinse

We'll be back Sunday night. So we'll spend most of our time in the car , with a complete stranger - well to me anyway, he is my dad's friend-and three brothers at least we'll be asleep most of the time since we are leaving at 6 a.m. ::yawn::

Went to the library today and got a few books the one i'm reading now is Summer Sisters by Judy Blume

Happy New Year everyone

You'll probably read this after you come back, but have fun in Chicago!

Happy New Year, Beesan! 

Thanks Sakina, juri, and Curlygirl22

We came back at 1 a.m., some trip this was.

Ok, here is what happened. We started out great the kids up, got dressed, went out and before long were in deep sleep. The friend didn't ride along, he was going in his own car then give it to someone there and then come back with us.

We got to the highway at 8am. Then about a 120 miles from Chicago...we got a flat tire, Dad parked on the side and went out to see it..the wheel had popped . I'm sooo glad A (friend) was with us, since my Dad had his hip replacement surgery, he wasn't allowed to bend down, that's where A came in he got his tools and everything and set to work, at first my dad forgot and bent down, but the pain reminded him , anyway once they raised the van high enough it fell down, breaking the jack, or whatever it's called , so then we had to use A's jack but they couldn't get the spare tire out, and me, my mom, and three brothers had to get out of the car, and it was FREEZING, so cold (i think the oil would have frozen then Sakina ) i couldn't feel my fingers, my little brother broke my heart he was almost crying saying that his hands hurt anyway we put him in A's car and wrapped him in a blanket.

After about an HOUR, a police car went by and stopped to help, we finally got the tire in. and then the cops asked for my dads and A's license, turns out A had some kind of problem with his license, that it was suspended or something so he wasn't allowed to drive ok skip all those details.

We had a good time but a short time. My dad's partner said they went to a very good Indian Restaurant which was a BIG disappointment.

Anyway, we went to a turkish store where i found a combination of herbs that i would love to try on my hair, it says "lose weight using herbs" but i don't need to lose weight i can't remeber all the ingredients, but there was senna, nettle, fern, rose hips and a few other things, and has anybody heard of thyme water? i never have, anyway my dad bought it to try it so i may aso try that for my hair as well . A will bring them with him when he gets back, since we forgot them at the store, afte he finishes his license business. Anyway the real shopping will go next time, where my dad plans to stay for three days yayy!!

Books- Finished Summer Sisters, it left me very confused about how i feel about it. I think this a problem that i have, i get affected by the characters and their story...too much that when a person dies i cry and keep saying oh, my god she/he died she's gone, and i REALLY cry... and i'm not ashamed of it, just sometimes it gets out of hand anyway the story well most of Judy Blumes books are like that...There's just too much um..can i say this...sexual talk and action. i'll just skip that part...the ending was sad, but then everything happened so fast. I mean the book started when they (the sisters-friends) were 12 and ended when they were 30. but this is a book i will forever remember, that's for sure. So off to start a new book....hmmm..maybe [i]Deenie/i] also by Judy Blume

Good Night everyone

Boy, it sounds like you had quite an, er, adventure! I'm glad you're all okay. When did your dad get his hip replacement surgery? I hope he's back to 100% before too long.

Thanks Sakina, juri, and Curlygirl

Juri, my dad had his surgery about a year ago, it's better now but he still isn't supposed to bend to a 90 degree angle or something like that.

Curlygirl: we did get there but way behind schedule, but it was ok. We drove around downtown...drove by the fountain, then headed for the highway.


Our cackatiel laid an egg today, but it's not fertile cuz she has no mate! but how can i explain that to my brothers, they wouldn't understand, they think it's gonna hatch sometime soon... they've actually picked out a name for the "new born"!!   i've been reading up on it, but no information other than that we need to get her some calcium fast, but we don't know what to feed her so we are going to call the original owners to see if we need take her to the vet.

Hair-  for the first time yesterday i tried OO, instead of EVOO, i like it better than EVOO, and i added a bit of grape seed oil to it. My hair feels really soft...i have it up in a bun right now to loosen the waves up a bit.

Books- I noticed that i sounded pretty pathetic in my last entry ...anyway I figured i wasn't giving proper reviews of the books i'm reading so...
Summer Sisters[u/]  is about a girl named Victoria (aka, Vix) who gets asked by the most popular girl in school Caitlin, to spend the summer with her at her dad's vineyard, anyway they get to be really close and have some "adventures" together.

[u]Deenie is about a girl named Deenie who gets scoliosis...well that's it really.

now i am reading Last Chance by Sarah Dessen.


ETA: Does anyone know what happened in last, last Fridays episode on What I Like About You, i'm don't usually watch it, but when i'm alone on Fridays i like to watch it, and last, last, last Friday they didn't say if Vick died or not and i didn't get to see last, last fridays ....am i making sense, i hope so

BTW- i love Valerie's hair when it's long

I'm glad your dad's doing better, but it must be inconvenient for him not to bend certain ways.
