Slept in pig tails last night. Very comfortable;better than a single braid. Think I'll do that again tonight. I think I need a trim and since I don't think I had any growth this month,(I'm afarid to measure it) but I will today or tomorrow.....I want to go for a trim on the 28th(new moon) to see if this does anything for growth Undecided

Since joining the board,I'm hesitant about letting anyone touch my hair let alone trim it. I don't think the place I've been going to is very careful with hair,so maybe I'll try to trim it myself. I'll think about it and invest in a good pair of scissors for this.
I may wash,acv and condition today or tomorrow.
Feel very crampy today,so "it's that time of the month" again,which started late yesterday afternoon.
Blahhhhhhhhhhhh

ok,since there are birds outside my a/c,they start chirping at 4:30am,which starts my birds inside chirping!!! Man,I am tired! Roll Eyes

Anyway,roofer is supposed to come either today or tomorrow;depending on when it will rain. He'll put 2x4's under the front a/c and the one I have in the back room. It's a little difficult since I have the apartment in my mom's 2 family house. I'm on the top floor so someone getting up on a ladder in always a worry if they were to fall..
Anyway,6am I'm on my Pilates Performer,today is Lower Body,later this afternoon or tonight I'll be doing my Yoga practice and meditation. The dog likes to join me for meditation!

Hair: It's up to day in a twisted bun. I had it in pig tails to sleep last nigh. Still very comfortable. I'll take it down later and do a twisted bun with LL hairsticks or keylo sticks.
Today is a relax and take it easy day. More so after yesterday's medication. Flu-like symptoms were not too bad this time.
Still waiting for NORD's to let me know if I got approval for money to help with new meds. Rebif is going to cost about $27-29000 a year. Holy Cow!!! Shocked

Yeah, birds are funny creatures. My family has always had at least one and I am determined not to ever have one of my own.

Way to be on top of your exercise.

I have a hard time motivating myself to get it done on my own. I'm taking a work out class right now, but once school stops, I am doing to have a harder time getting my butt in gear. Tongue

Never fear Meg,you'll do it. Once it becomes a habit,it's like you're breathing.
Before MS I was an aerobics instructor(in the 90's),runner and body builder. After MS,I went to Yoga Spectrum to learn how to be a Hatha Yoga Teacher (teaching on the mat and in a chair for people with disabilities. I cringed when people say,oh you're a yoga instructor. No,I'm a yoga teacher,there's a difference. The Pilates,I've been doing for about 10 years and if it weren't for the yoga and pilates,I'd be in a wheelchair. Yes,ok all the other stuff from years ago is a major benefit today. So you can do it and once you feel the endorphins kick in;you'll be hooked! Whatever you enjoy doing! P.S> The yoga is not exercise,it's a different kind of breathing and engages a different system in your body compared to other activities.
THe man came to put wood under both a/.c's Yeah!!! Now my birds will be quiet in the early morning!
LL sticks came today,too!!! Japanese Sky original hairsticks are stunning!!

Well,sure enough those pesky birds were at my air conditioner again this morning and yesterday morning. Angry

I just don't know what to do short of screaming my head off at them. They chirp,which in turn wakes up my birds,which wakes up my dog,hence I"M UP AT 4:30am!! It's still dark out,I thought those birds would at least wait until sunlight! Shocked

Anyway,washed hair and conditioned it yesterday with GB Heart Shampoo and conditioner. It's time to deep condition,that's for sure. Although it was curly and felt decent,I think it's time to deep condition it. Had a partial top bun with ketylo sticks today and yesterday.
Since my grandmother was over for Palm Sunday dinner she decided to make her crosses with the palms my mother brought home from church. I tell ya,at 94 years old that woman still makes beautiful crosses out of the palm leaves. She made one for me while I sat with her. I still have some of the crosses she made me over the years and even though they are dried out and some of them cracked,I cherish them dearly.
Well.the hockey game is just about to begin(Rangers and Devils) so I'm off to watch that compare notes on it with my boyfriend. He was here today and made me a beautiful decopage vase. Today was a very nice day! Grin

I am going out of my mind with those damn birds outside my a/c. Talk about a NY attitude!!! There is nothing short of flinging something at them to move away from my a/c. I went outside and sure enough there was one sitting on top of the 2x4's that were placed under the a/c! He looked like Budda all smooshed down under the a/c!! It then went behind the wood. I swear I told this roofer I want the wood flush up against the window so nothing could get in there. This roofer is supposed to come back either today or tomorrow to "fix this" problem. I am on my last nerve with these pests!!!! The saga continues!

Geeze. They are persistant. Tongue

Are they sitting on the a.c. for a reason: heat, a seat or something? You may have to put something on top to prevent them from sitting there: glass, needles or something. Good luck solving your bird problem.
I've done a little yoga, but nothing offical. It was more stretching the muscles (an external thing) than having to do with the state of mind (an internal thing)

Do you know the style of yoga you were practicing? Curious and if it benefitted you,even better

As for those damn birds outside!!! They crawl behind the 2x4 's placed there to keep them away. Then shove them selves up against the a/c and window. Unbelievable!! I swear they are contortionists! The roofer hasn't called to say when he's coming today,so I'll be on the phone again soon to find out where he is! Because the window is far from the second window in the front of the house I can't open the 2nd one and put something on the a/c window. There are 3 windows in that room. I'll have to either brainstorm or come up with a plan to rid them forever. I know my birds are annoyed at getting up at 4:30am!!!

Well,it was a late shower and hair washing day. I did wash my hair with Ouidad's Curly shampoo,white vinegar rinse and Ouidad's Curly conditioner. Put it up in a twisted bun with a huge clip for a few hours. Just to keep it out of the way. I used a little jojoba oil and aloe vera gel when I put it up,almost didn't want to take it down,but boy I'm glad I did. Curls galore(for today anyway) I'll braid it later in pig tails before going to bed. It got colder outside this afternoon,so I'm in while my hair air drys.
Glad I did my Pilates and Cardio Board early this morning before washing my hair. Works out much better.

I'm really happy with Ouidad's products. So far I've tried the Curl Quencher and Playcurl shampoos, condidtioners and styling gel/mousse (respectively). I bought the christmas package that also had the botanical boost and deep treat. I've ordered the clarifying shampoo and light condidtioner (can't remember what they're called) so I'll be trying them soon. I am enjoying having wavy hair more than ever in my whole life. Now...just waiting for the length to come.

What's your favorite?

Well,so far the balancing rinse is great for alittle leav-in conditioner. The deep treatment(expensive) is the bomb!

It's a tie between the shampoo for curly kids and the one for moisture(can't remember the name of the shampoo) Undecided

all in all the products are good. A long time ago I used to use Nexxus Therappe and Humectress and they were fantastic for my hair. It was shorter then and curlier,probably 12 inches shorter than now. I might have to go back to that for a change.
Glad you're enjoying your waves Grin
