Last night I oiled and did piggy braids. Put my hair up in a pony tail for the gym this morning and then just a tiny jaw clip for the top part today.

Took my daughter to the zoo today. The biopark pass is really coming in handy. Then she and I went to Chili's for lunch.

My husband entered a car show today and got two prizes. Pretty impressive. We weren't invited to the car show though.... Lips Sealed

Hot here today, about 93. Might explain my headache and my fatigue.

Ok, nothing else to report. I hope everyone is ok.

It's excellent, in my opinion. Wink

They offer many different flavours of iced tea because all they are is regular iced tea + flavoured syrup. I think they're listed under the beverages section of the menu. Being a northerner at heart, I always go for the blackberry. Wink

Are they sweetened? Well, the tea, no. The syrup, most definitely. But probably not any more than any other flavoured tea on the market.

Congrats on the car show prizes, btw.

Angel-
Thanks for the info and thanks. My husband is so darn proud. ???

Oiled hair last night, and slept with sleep cap. Did my daughter's too. She got a new sleep cap. Sure does help prevent the rats nest.

Did nothing with my hair again. In fact, just did a lot of nothing period. Watched Episode III, and we're watching Elf again.

Feeling very pre-menstrual. I have pre cramps and I don't usually. In fact, I haven't since active endometriosis....

Anyway, still dieting and exercising. Not doing so well on the house cleaning.....I'm hopeless.

Talk to ya'll later.

Say, what type of car do you have? Hubby and I do Volvos, we have a 1987 760 turbo (looks like a little black box). It's a real sleeper, we just put a new motor in it and it's nasty fast.

Lisabelle

My husband and I are proud Scion owners. I have a plain old regular 2005 Scion XA (white, manual transmission) and my husband has a 2005 Scion TC, grey/sliver (I think it's called flint mica or something-manual transmission) that he's done so much to that it's not even funny. He loves his car. It is the first new car that he's owned , so I can see why. I love mine because I get 33-35 mpg in the city. I can't even imagine what I'd get if I did any interstate driving.

We both used to have Jeep Grand Cherokees that were total gas guzzlers- so the increased gas mileage on are cars are so worth it. Cheesy

Ok....my hair.....Last night I oiled and slept with my hair down. (I couldn't find the holders that I usually use for my piggy braids.... ???). I conditioned with Suave Daily Moisture Conditioner, shampooed with Suave Daily Moisture Shampoo, and conditioned with Suave Daily Moisture Conditioner. I oiled before going to work, it was still quite wet. I usually use about 5 drops of oil total each time I oi. (Don't know if they're really drops, I just punched a hole in the security cover on my bottle and use that as a "dropper"). When my hair dried it was soooo soft!. Not greasy, just wonderfully soft. The top layer (the bleached one) is not looking quite so fly away these days. I hope I can diminish all the flyaways soon.

I did use a mini jaw clip on the crown area.

Still feeling rather PMS-ey.....I was too achy and tired for my moring workout but I did go to the gym today. I do feel so much better now that I exercised though....to bad I don't think about that at 4am....when will I learn! Embarrassed

I did a french braid for the gym and then bundled all the hanging braid up into a scrunchie to get the hair off my neck. It never fails, I get the eliptical that has no air conditioning vent in front of it! Again, today it's about 97.

Thinking about going to a salon to have a deep conditioning treatment or a reconstructor treatment to see if it will help my fried bleached pieces....?????

Ok...I guess that's it for now.

Let's see....last night I never removed my frenchbraid for the gym so I woke up to rather suprisingly wavy hair. I guess I got sweaty enough....kinda gross when you really stop and think about it but I did not shampoo. Just used my trusty little jaw clip at the crown.

Went to work, went to the gym. DD asked for chicken wings so we had a wonderful low carb dinner. My child then proceeded to profess her hate for me. That really hurts my feelings. I realize she's only six but hearing those words make me cry everytime. Nevermind I'm hormonal and emotional, headachy and sweaty, feeling fat and ugly and completely unneeded and unloved....and then to have your own flesh and blood that you suffered in pain for 42 hours for tell you that. Cry

Thank goodness for the hug from Trisha, she must have know I was really gonna need one even before I did!

Feeling so disconnected from spouce. I'm not sure what to do. I just wish I didn't have insurmountable debt with him....the answer might be more obvious if not for that. I've recently lost 22 pounds. I asked him if he'd even noticed that I'd lost weight and he said "yeah, sorta". I asked him why he never said anything. His stupid answer was "well, we hardly ever see each other". Well, that's not all my fault. We works graveyards S, M, T, and E/O S. And instead of going to the gym with me on W, TH, and F....he goes during the day when he wakes up, leaving me to go alone so he can stay home at night. Then, Friday he called me as I'm leaving the gym aksing when I'll be home because he's going out. Any wonder we don't see each other? Where did he have to go? Cruising. What 35 year old goes crusing? I realize, it was the night before the car show and he probably wanted to scope out the competition, but still. Honestly. I just don't get it. I've really no body to talk to about this because I have no parents, my sister and brother already don't really care for him and neither do most of my co-workers. So, I keep this all to myself.....

So sorry to be rambling on and on.....I was completely fine today until I heard the song "I Love The Way You Love Me".....

Anyway....sorry. I'll try not to be such a B and Moaner in the future. So sorry. Lips Sealed

Venting is therapeutic, Nan. It's OK to let it out. I keep a diary just for that reason...aside from my hair journal, that is. It helps me to sort out my thoughts & put things into perspective.

So sorry about your dissolving connection with your husband. I know first hand how painful that is, and I'm here for ya if you ever need a shoulder to cry on. Feel free to PM me whenever you want. (((((((((((hugzzzz))))))))))))))

Was that John Michael Montgomery's song?

Sorry about your daughter's comments, too. Kids get like that (usually when they don't get their way), and now I realize what a devastating thing it is for a parent to hear. I'm sure that all of us at some point have professed our hatred for our parents in some way or another. But when we grow up (and perhaps become parents ourselves), we realize what it's like to be on the other end of it. Sux, doesn't it? Sad

I'm not a parent myself, but I might suggest talking to your daughter & asking her why she feels the way she does. Chances are, she was just angry & said something she didn't mean. Happens to the best of us.
Try to find out what you did (or what she thinks you did) that seemed so unfair to her and why whatever it was is so important to her. Tell her that her comments hurt your feelings (it's ok to be honest) and try to explain your side of the story to her. She just might apologize.

Anyway, hope things work out alright both on the homefront and on the hair front. Kiss

Best of luck.

I also keep two journals; this one and a written one. I've kept a written journal, on and off, ever since I was in my early 20s. I have a lot of acquintances, but not a lot of very close friends. So I end up keeping a lot of stuff inside...which, as we all know, is NOT good for us. Hence the journal, and that is where I pour out my heart. Nobody is allowed to touch it, let alone read it. By keeping a journal, it's as if all the bad stuff flows from within me, through the pen and onto the paper, where it can't hurt me as much. But there's a bunch of good stuff in my journal, too, because I write about everything that happens--the good, the bad and the ugly.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread!
