Glad you popped in to give us an update.  Migranes while traveling are no fun.  Hope you can keep them at bay a while longer!

Have fun!

Hey, I'm in Singapore and can finally download at a reasonable speed!!!

Khrome-love your new avatar!!

Luckily I stopped having the headaches after 5 days, it always takes me awhile to remember to tell the restaurant, no matter what kind of food it is, to tida pake pecin (don't use MSG) every meal.

I think everyone's well wishes has paid off big time for us, we were in Pangandaran the day of the earthquake.  Luckily we dedcided not to go to the Green Canyon that morning because we would have been in the middle of that tragedy.  Thanks, everyone,  and Goddess, too!!!

I've gotten some really great hair stuff, I'll get some pics when we get home to AZ.

I hope everyone's well.  Tomorrow morning will be the last chance I have to check the net until we get back to US on the 22, which means the 23rd with jet lag.  We have a 12 hour time difference so what ever day it is I'll be in touch!

Laters!!

*anxiously awaits*

I want stories and pics when you get home! 

I'm so glad you were not affected by the earthquate.  I join the others as we anxiously await your safe return home so you can share with us your new hair goodies!

Greek_Lady, MSG is MonoSodium Glutimate.  I think I spelled it right.  Its used in food as a flavor enhancer. 

Now that I'm relatively back to normal I'm doing a deep treatment this morning.  I went snorkeling for the first time in Pulau Umang and really loved it.  I'm looking forward to the next trip already.  However...my hair is not doing so well.  It was is awesome condition before we left and now I've got broken ends.  Never having snorkeled or done so with longish hair I just figured I'd French braid it and all would be well.  Boy was I wrong!!!  Anyway, I've scheduled a trim at the end of August (I know, only 8 weeks after my last trim) I don't want those spilts making more damage than has been already done.
I felt silly putting oil or conditioner in my hair before hitting the water, I kept imagining the stuff washing off my hair into the ocean like an oil slick.  I won't make the same mistake again!!!

My folks are still here so I haven't taken the time yet to get my treasures photographed.  They leave on Monday.

I'm going back to my previous hairdresser.  The shape of my hair seems to be getting more important as the length is coming.  My hair is so dry now after our trip (the water in Indonesia is not clean enough to drink, I think it really dried out my scalp, too) that with my regular shampoo and conditioner I'm getting huge, voluminous hair.  You should see it when I take it out of a braided bun.  Blonde Rosanne Rosannadanna!!

I think that'll be all for now.  I've got more catching up reading to do on the boards and in 10 minutes I'm starting my shower and deep treat with heat (shower cap w/deep treatment conditioner under a bonnet hairdryer for 30 mins.)

Hope everyone who reads this has a pleasant day!!

You don't have to tell me twice!   

I'm on such a high right now...Halloween products are in the stores now!  I've just returned from a very successful trip to Michael's craft store and a discount card store.
They're really just getting stuff in and the selection is great!!!  Be sure to look in the floral section where they have fake birds-they've got 2 sizes of ravens!!!  And a black leaf garland!!!  Yippeeeee!!!!!  I learned that for $15.99 I can rent a small tank of helium and do my own balloons from the card store.  Awesome!!!!!

My hair is recovering nicely, still using the Quench products to rebuild the moisture level I lost from snorkeling.  I've placed another order and am trying out the beach spray (for when I go to the pool at the gym) and a pommade.  Normally I'd stay away from that kind of stying product, but since its Ouidad I'm giving it a try.  Sometimes those baby hairs really need taming!

Well, I'm starving now from so much excitement!  Gonna go have some lunch.

Welcome back, Sakina!  

Whee!  Halloween rules!
