[Berkanna, what kind of fan do you use? I have this image of all the fog being blown away...

Dry Ice 'mist' is heavier than regular air, so it doesnt' go too far. Way back when I was a theater major in college, we used a big 55-gallon drum, with a small electric fan attached to the inside of the lid at the opening where we attached a dryer hose. (does that make sense?)

The fan would push the fog up through the hose, and we could direct it pretty much anywhere on stage that way. If we ran it long enough, the fog would cover the whole stage, and then 'fall' off the front edge. Neat, and creepy looking! Cheesy

I will be taking pictures, I hope they turn out. Last year I tried to get pics of the fog and I think it just looks weird.

I think I posted those pics in my journal last year. It's called Sakina's Hair Raising Adventures. Page 30.

I've got my invitations out...been cleaning with still more to do. We're going to be starting the background decorating soon-I may not be posting much for awhile.

I will still be checking in and reading posts, though!! I'm currently on hubby's laptop-he thinks he's close to getting the internet up and running on our PC.

Thanks, L_D! Sorry I'm so slow at responding-stupid computer problems have returned. Angry

I wore that red wig as Ariel the Little Mermaid in a recital. He doesn't want me to paint his face this year. What a big baby. Roll Eyes

Well...other than stupid computer not much is new. Today I was diagnosed as having anxiety disorder. Nice to know I'm not actually crazy.

I tried the bliss butter balm on my ends the other night, I think I'll keep doing it before I wash. I think the rich balm breaks out my neck if I sleep in it. Tongue

I got a nice compliment on my hair from one of my students today-my hair was down and still drying by the time I got to work. Cool.

Hubby's trying to fix our PC...I hope he can. I hate having to wait until he's done at night to use his laptop. Plus the little keyboard drives me nuts! At least the smilies are working on the laptop!

You have an anxiety disorder too!?!! Welcome to the club!!! I was diagnosed early this past summer and was also relieved that I wasn't CrAzY Smiley

or having a heart attack. I haven't taken any meds in about 2 months I believe, and everythings been fine, I'm thinking it was just a phase. Hopefully it will only be a phase of anxiety for you too.

Are you still going to be a geisha? Since your husband won't let you paint his face, maybe he could be your danna, although it wouldn't be a very interesting costume. Tongue

I think I've had anxiety disorder most of my life. I think my grandma has it, my dad and my sister, too. Sis had some full blown panic attacks and has been on drugs for it for several years.
I always had music-singing in particular that I think was my way of dealing with the anxiety.
Since I stopped singing I have had a much harder time of it. I think its getting worse as I'm getting older, but maybe its a lack of coping skills.

I had a great guitar lesson today, I think I really like learning it-even though I don't yet
"play" play. I forgot to mention that I got some awesome new stickers for my guitar case-2 of Felix the Cat, Rocky Horror Picture Show "Give yourself over to absolute pleasure" and Momento by Nene Thomas. I love decorating my cases. This one has totally different stickers than my Seagull. I'm working on not duplicating my stickers. Someday I'll also have an electric guitar and a 12-string acoustic/electric with more cases to decorate!!!!

I'm still going to be geisha. I got hubby a samurai costume-lots of armour. I was hoping to paint his face like those scarry masks the samurai wore. He'll just not be wearing the makeup. Undecided

I wore two pair of longlocks sticks in my bun today-as part of an experiment. I have layers in my hair and cannot get my bun centered if I don't have it in a pony first. Today I put it in a pony and twisted and coiled and inserted the hairsticks. Then I used my Amish hairpins to pin down the rest. It was very tight and secure. I think my bun looks nicer or more balanced when I put the hairsticks in last. Doing it that way also lets me use a bit of hairspray to control those layers before adding the sticks.

I am going to get rid of these layers, once I reach BSL.

I'm trying extrememe H2O 54% contact lenses. I think I really like them. They're moisturizing and I can see quite clearly, unlike the hydroclear I wore last year.

This weekend begins the big decorating push...party's almost here!!!!!!!! Smiley

Add me to the list too. I've had an anxiety disorder for years now and have to take medication Embarrassed

My family had it too so that's were I got it. Undecided

However, I Sally Forth with life and try not to let it get me down or worst...slow me down Smiley

I wanted to go as a Geisha for halloween too but I don't want to ruin my good kimono's. I think I go as Harry Potter, I have the scarf and a cape, plus with my glasses and my hair tied back to will be easy to chase my 2 year old neice around for trick or treating! Smiley

Weeellll....turns out we had 19 viruses on our PC. We're trying out some new stuff, hopefully it is almost fixed.

I'm still planning on posting my Halloween pics as soon as I get the all clear on the PC.

I've been doing the curly girl routine for 2-1/2 weeks and it is making a noticible difference-I've even gotten "Your hair is gorgeous" compliments in person!!!

My folks & grandma arrived Tuesday-as usual exhausting fun. They stayed at our house the first 2 nights and are now at their trailer. This year I did some xmas decorating since we had company. As a child, we always went to grandma's house for christmas and she would have it all warm and beautiful so I wanted to do the same for her. She turned 84 Dec. 3rd. She said it was so beautiful she could cry. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I was asking my mom about my hair when I was little, it was very wavy and the ends curled into ringlets. She also said that for the first year my hair would only grow to 1 inch long and was so fair I looked bald. I think with a bit more length the ringlets will come back-my wave development has increased dramatically with the curly girl routine.

Well, I'm making dinner rolls from scratch and its time to turn the proof out and roll 'em into balls to refrigerate until Sunday.

I'd say it is time for you to invest in some virus software! I wouldn't access the internet without it. Getting hair compliments is so great! Congrats - the curly girl routine must be the right routine for you.

Truth is we need a new computer...we signed up with a new IP that has anti-virus for free.

Seems like forever since I started on this growing it out path-guess its now starting to payoff externally, too.

I've been having some trouble with my scalp being really dry-I'm way off track taking my regular Flax, Evening Primrose, Borage & Fish oil supplements. I've decided to try a new product from Noodles & Boo. Its baby shampoo that's suposed to be very moisturizing and gentle. I'm only using shampoo about once every 14 days, so maybe its just winter, lacking my usual internal oils and the adjustment to infrequent shampooing.

I'm still continuing to use Ouidad products, primarily the Quench Conditioner & Gel.

I'm almost done another year here at Longlocks! January 23rd is my anniversary...

Whoa! That's news to me Grin

. I've been counting the first day of my journals as my anniversary.

Cool.

I'm going to do a scalp exfoliation today-1 Tablespoon of brown suger mixed into 3 Tablespoons of conditioner. After that I'll put 1 Tablespoon of edible aloe gel and massage it into my scalp to moisturize it. The tricky part is getting all of the gel rinsed out so my roots won't be crunchy, and then use my conditioner.

Its been a lot colder than usual here-daytime highs in the mid 50's. (I know, I know, I don't need to hear it...I love living in the desert for the sun & warmth Tongue

) Our humidity has been really low, which is making me super dry and I'm super dry by nature so its darn near unbearable. At least I'm not cracking and bleeding yet, although I don't plan on it getting that far!

For you Aquis super absorbant hair towel fans...they've got a new one out that has a waffle-weave surface AND its larger in size. Love it!! I got myself one when I first saw it (I got mine at Bed, Bath & Beyond, approx $17.99US) and then hubby got me a second one for xmas. Its super soft and really absorbs the water out of the hair. On the package it says Microfiber Hair + Body Towel 19" x 39". Ahhhh, maybe that's why its so much bigger-the + body part. Anyway, as my hair gets longer this new size will become more necessary and it does a great job on it now!!!
