Yes, your collection is quite impressive.  Congratulations. 

And congrats on the new house.  Being "homeless" - oh my!  At least you know it won't be for too long.  And better your situation than one hubby and I were in many years ago - owning TWO homes (and paying mortgages).  We had moved from Iowa to Minnesota and were unable to sell our house.  After 3 years, it FINALLY sold - on contract with us holding the contract.  So for another 5 years we still had 2 mortgages, but at least we had income to cover one.

Being without internet  .  Oh my!  We will miss your daily musings.  Be sure to keep us upto date when you can.

I agree!    Thanx for sharing the recipe. Snowy's Treatments are the only ones I do these days.

If it's a daytime wedding, Ficcares. If it's an evening wedding, hairsticks. 

Hmm, the wedding begins at early afternoon and lasts until about midnight. It must then mean that I need to wear both a Ficcare and a pair of hairsticks! One of the nicest things about long hair is that there are so many variations and so many hairtoys to wear- it's never boring or really ugly.

Life:

WOOHOO!THE HOUSE IS OURS!!!

Deal is sealed, and now there's just the physical work left to do!

Hair: Rinsed after this morning's exercise. Now it looks and feels good, in a bun with Butterfly Meadow hairsticks that fit the day's joyous moods. My decision to postpone the trim stays still, though I doubt that I will be able to pay much attention to my hair during the moving period. When the dust has settled (some time in August, in case we won't be completely overwhelmed by harvest activities), I'll consider a mini trim.

Still no Ficcares- many people in Europe have already received theirs, and it seems that I'm one of the last to get their clips. I know they will be totally worth the wait (even more so since this GO got a very generous discount)...but I'm certainly getting impatient. I'm glad I have all this other stuff going on in my life- otherwise I'd stalk the postman all day.

Yay!!  Congratulations, G!!!

Welcome to the world of home ownership! 

Thank you, everyone!

Today has been a rainy day, so I've spent it at home reading. Since I switched my research subject, I've got a huge amount of reading to do before I can even begin any writing work with my Doctor's Thesis. Luckily, most of it can be done at home!

Hair: While shopping for more XZ deep conditioner, I noticed oil treatment of the same brand. The ingredients list looked promising so I bought it- I'm planning to test it this weekend. I'm going to pamper my hair while I still can- somehow I see a season of "benign neglect" looming in near future.
I've also now ordered some Sweet Success oil from Moonchaser. I hope it will arrive before we move.
    This morning I had some nice braid waves, and so I started the day with a low ponytail. When I started to cook, I switched it to a bun with Amish pins. A minimalist day.

Ooh, your idea of "moving day hair" sounds absolutely great, novusfemina! I think I'll try that- I had planned on wearing a scarf bun or a scarf cap for hardest working days anyway, so it would indeed be the perfect time for some oiling!

Still no Ficcares here- they're making their way to Europe, but slooooowly! New Mexico USPS mail is just as bad as Birdie warned.
I'm still obsessing about my thin ends. My hair has grown visibly during June, so I'm hoping that part of my thin ends misery is just some hairs growing faster than others. I'm still determined to resist scissors this time though- thin ends or no thin ends, I want to make it to the waist ASAP! My ends are very healthy and the hemline is neat, so I'm going to just rant about my ends here in my journal  in hopes that a little verbal venting will keep me strong in my resolution to stay away from scissors.

Yesterday was my washing day, but since we went clubbing in the evening (there's a blues festival in the town for this week), I had to wash it this morning again.
I saw two ladies with gorgeous long hair at the club- both had their hair around hip length. I wore my hair down, and was happy to notice that on my long hair journey I've already made it to the land of "unusually long hair" . From here, it's just a couple of years of growing until I can join the "freakishly long hair" club.
    Even after washing and air drying, my hair some cigarette smell left in it, so I spritzed it with rose water. Now it is in a bun decorated with Rare Butterfly GemStix, and I'm hoping that its smell will improve towards the evening. On days like today, I hope that the new smoking legislation that Parliament is working on will end up prohibiting smoking in restaurants altogether.
