Well... no one showed up for the bellydancing class. I was a little disappointed, I had spent a fair amount of time planning it out! Luckily I was dressed to go out to dinner afterwards (just in case no one came) and hubby and I had a nice dinner out. We tried to go to the Spanish restaurant-I've been wanting to try it, but the kitchen got backed up and so they wouldn't seat us. We had already waited 20 minutes when they tell us this. So we go down the way to a sports bar/restaurant. We had fun just the same. I wanted a margarita on cinco de mayo but it didn't happen.

I'm really enjoying playing with my new aromaleigh samples. I think I'll look fabulous in Indonesia!!! I've got my sun protection outfit ordered and travelling supplies, too. We also have our tickets. Yippeee.

Hair was shedding today-temps have been higher than 90 degrees for almost a week. I don't know what to think about not being able to wear scrunchies in a high or middle pony w/o discomfort. My hair is just not that long yet, its only about 20 1/4" long.

Maybe we can start something new - a bellydancing knitting class! (and sports TV for the significant others!)

It would be really fun to teach you bellydancing. BB, we all dance to our strengths, so you've got veil work involving the arms, and to shimmy you just shake everything you've got!!! Eye movement and facial expression are important, too!

I haven't been writing in my journal lately 'cause I'm too boring.

I think hair's had a growth spurt-maybe that's the only good thing about triple digit temps.

Work is work. I really like my new bellydancing teacher. It is hard for me to stay focused on saving money for the upcoming Indonesia trip.

I've suspended giutar lessons to help save money.

Today I'm getting a facial and pedicure. Looking forward to that.

Created a cool new style this week-haven't gotten around to downloading the pics yet.

Planning on seeing DaVinci Code Monday with hubby.

Sweetie peed on the couch & me last week. Put her in her room, seems to have improved all of the cats attitudes. I think she likes being by herself where she doesn't have to worry about Ziggy. She got to the point of paranoia. Growling and hissing at shadows. I hope this is the right solution.

Still walking nearly every night. Loosing inches, not sure about pounds. Oh yeah, haven't had any soda for 3 whole days. Its a good thing.

Cats peeing all over everything isn't boring. Wink

If you're losing inches you're losing fat and gaining muscle, which is a good. Grin

Thanks for your support, 13bodies. So far Sweetie's very happy by herself in her room. Ziggy's personality is blossoming with her in there, she growled and hissed everytime she saw him so I bet his self-esteem is improving!

I'll measure my hip to waist ratio on the 10th, I hope I've lost more inches. I haven't yet really changed my diet other than giving up soda. My metabolism has not worked right since I took Prednisone in '99 for Bell's Palsy, so I may have a tougher time loosing weight than in the past. Boo hiss.

Had a major breakthrough in my therapy today. Its a very good thing.

Hair is awesome. I now have to do a top knot bun instead of a pony tail otherwise it pulls too much. My piggy braids are looking better and better. My waves are more developed the longer my hair gets. I estimate I'm about 2 1/2 inches away from BSL now, that's when I pull my wave straight.

Ugh, Sakina....I totally feel your pain! I was on a medication that messed me all up, too. That was 3 years ago...and I'm still compensating for it! Tongue

My aunt takes Prednisone for her Still's Disease it it messed her up as well. In very much the same way as my old meds did with me. Only on a much greater level.
We used to stay up late at night talking about all of the horrible ways that our respective meds had affected us. And even though she isn't taking that much anymore and I completely switched medications, the weight is still on both of us, though not as much as it used to be.

Just hang in there, girl. Slowly but surely, we will ALL kick this thing to the curb! Dedication is the key. Stay in there for the long haul & you will come out on top. Don't get hung up on numbers, just keep your eyes on the prize.

Thanks Angel Spun. I'm not gonna give up, I am going to look into changing my birthcontrol pills and see if that helps!

Today I've done a lot of shopping online for my upcoming trip. It made me a bit sad, owning up to the fact that I'm not a size 4 anymore and have to use my measurements to purchase larger sizes. I want to be comfortable so I bought some larges. Undecided

I know that my size does not define me, I'm just missing my buff bod. Tongue

Beyond that...(doing happy happy dance) I got the Dancing Iris Swingstix!!! Yippeeeeeee.

Oh yeah, change in big Halloween party plans. I'm going to scale back to a not so big party this year so I can save up for a live band next year. So, new theme this year. I think I'll use the gobs of decorations I've already purchased this year, continuing to add to it so next year everything will be just the way I want it. This year I'm finally going to wear my Sexy Geisha outfit. Haven't decided if I'll mingle it with the cat as I planned last year. *giggles into hand*
