Uh, what does that mean?? Huh

*siiiiigghhhhhh* Well...basically, it means that at the moment, I'm not sure whether I am the only person for whom K has feelings. Our ideas about romantic commitment might clash, and that is one area that I am absolutely not going to compromise on.
I confess to being somewhat frustrated with the lack of real intellectual exchange that I've had with K after dating him for over a month. But I also have to keep reminding myself that we're only dating. Neither of us have made any long-term decisions about a potential relationship just yet. Of course, we're both interested in having one, but both of us have conditions for ourselves and our partner to meet if a real relationship is to exist. And the whole idea behind the dating process is finding out whether a potential partner meets these conditions.
In other words, he would have to share my ideas about total commitment if he wants a legitimate relationship with me. And believe me, that's not the half of my "criteria." lol
I need to see what kind of spiritual/intellectual level he operates on and whether it's compatible with mine. It's true that K is a very sweet guy...but sweet only goes so far if you haven't got the intellectual properties to back it up. Of course, one advantage to spending so much time with him is that it affords me endless opportunities to enlighten/brainwash him to my way of thinking. Bwahahahaha! Grin

Hair: The usual routine. Blah blah CWC blah blah Detangling blah blah air dry blah blah braid during break. Roll Eyes

I'll probably just clarify on Friday since I'll be home by then.

Housesitting: Tomorrow will be my last day. I have some cleaning to do, and K has volunteered to come over and help.

Still taking things that I no longer need back home. Packing up should be a breeze tomorrow. What concerns me is the lack of sleep I'll suffer as a result of (possibly) 2 consecutive morning shifts plus so much work during the day and then having to wait until the wee hours tomorrow for my family to return home. Ah well. I don't sleep much anyway.

Other Stuff: Perhaps I was a bit hasty in my praising of OPI. The polish at the tips of my nails has already begun wearing away, so I'll need to touch them up. Grrrrrr Angry

If my goth æsthetic and natural nail conditions didn't require polish at all times, I would forsake it completely!

~~It makes me sad to think that I might not be the only one in his heart.~~ Lips Sealed

Sadness no more. After a somewhat dramatic, er, "episode" typical of my behaviour, K has confirmed that I am indeed The Only Person in his heart. Cheesy

It may not be the end of my worries on the romance front, but it's a heck of a start.
Last night was amazing. A late dinner, a table that overlooked the ocean, a walk on the beach...and K. Ah, K. This morning, I am starry-eyed...even though I got maybe a half hour of sleep last night. I think I'm seriously falling in love with this man. *flutters*
Yup, that's right - man, not boy/guy/kid/etc. Let the swooning begin.

Having the morning shift yet again meant another CWC instead of a WTC. I'll just clarify tomorrow...and use a face masque...and have a decent breakfast for the first time in days. *eyes today's choice of popcorn & Nerds gumballs* Tongue

Oh Lord, get me back on track!

Today is my last day housesitting, so I've already been collecting the last of my things and getting the house ready to welcome its owners tonight. I still have much to do, but it's not overwhelming. K took home the remainder of the food that he bought/brought over. My relatives may be back around midnight, so I'll be home very late tonight. Sad

*yawn, stretch* Oh yes, and no leave-in's today. With all of my running around, there just wasn't time. But I'll braid just the same when I get a break. Right now, it's time for a little prayer...and let's hope that I don't fall asleep in the process. Undecided

All things considered, I'm glad too, Curlgirl. *joins you in the happy dance*

Finally, I am home again. The relatives returned sometime before midnight and I was dead tired. But I got a little bit of a second wind when they started asking me how things went, telling me about their trip, showing me their vacation video, etc. They even got a few souvenirs for myself and my family. One of these days, I must make it up to Hawaii. It's such a beautiful place!

Today, I cleaned the shower, clarified my hair, put on makeup, and clothes that weren't covered in pet hair and ate healthy...pretty much everything that I wasn't able to do while housesitting. Even managed to get some decent sleep last night too. Cool

No masque yet - I'll just wait until tomorrow and resume the usual skincare schedule.

It was also payday at work, so I now have $30 to live on for the next 2 weeks. I love my car, but it eats up so much of my hard earned $$$ Sad

Granted, it could be worse.

So now I must go and figure out a budget plan...or see if one is even possible. My poor bank account. Sad

Next week is Thanksgiving, which is apparently taking place at my house again. The week after that, I have a dentist appointment. Whether I'll be able to keep said appointment is unknown at this time. The week after that, I'll be taking K up to Disneyland for his birthday. Cheesy

It will be a pretty new experience for him since he hasn't been in almost 17 years! I am also planning to get him a little extra "something" if I can afford it. Wink

Oh yes, and the week after that is Secret Santa. Woo-hoo! This is my first year participating and I can't wait to see who I get.

Anyway, I'll catch y'alls later. Kiss

hehehe Thanx, guys. Wink

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas: In my chamber, at least. Having "discovered" some extra $$$, I've been spending like crazy this weekend...mostly on Christmas goodies! Cheesy

Sometime last year, I decided that the decoration colours for my mini tree this year should be red and gold. So when I was browsing the Christmas section at Target yesterday and saw all of the lovely, small red & gold ornaments, I grabbed them. From there, it just didn't stop. I must have terrorized every store in east county with Christmas ornaments in stock. I also bought something today that I'd been coveting for years - a black velvet tree skirt!!! Smiley

Now I can say that 1.) this year's mini tree will be even better than last year's, 2.) my mini tree ornaments will now need their own box and 3.) my full-size gothic Christmas decorations will need their own box as well. I wish I could take a picture of all of the Christmas stuff that's lying all over my room right now. It's ridiculous.

Hair: Also bought some new hair stuff yesterday, and decided to try something new. After using Pantene Ice Shine S&C for several months, I replaced them with Pantene Sheer Volume shampoo and Daily Moisture Renewal conditioner. I also bought a medium sized bottle of Sheer Volume 2 in 1 just to see if my hair would like it. I will give these new things a try after clarifying on Tuesday.
This morning, I diluted the last of my Ice Shine shampoo and was reminded that diluting shampoo just isn't worth the trouble. So tomorrow will be my last day with it. Then I will just stick to full strength, thank you.
In other news, I was thinking that I should start making and updating lists of products and wash methods similar to what Anais Satin used to do in her journals. It would be easier for me to look back and say, "ok, this is what I was doing, and here's what I'm doing now." Better than having to hunt for it through the rest of my mindless blabber. Roll Eyes

So right now, it would kind of look like this:

Routine:
Saturday - Monday: CWC, leave-in, air dry, braid
Tuesday: Clarify
Wednesday - Thursday: CWC, leave-in, air dry, braid
Friday: WTC, leave-in, air dry, braid

Products:
Suave Aloe & Waterlily conditioner
Pantene Ice Shine S&C
Pantene Detangling leave-in spray conditioner

Tools:
Creative seamless cellulose rake combs (daily)
Conair seamless acrylic rake combs (after oiling)
Contair Velvet Touch oval brush (on occasion)

Styles:
Single braid (most of the time)
Double bun updo (for dates & special occasions)
Down (sometimes)

Hairtoys:
Goody Ouchless small, black hairties
Black rose barrettes that I made

In Other News: By sheer luck, I found a runner for my dresser that just happened to match my bedding perfectly! I also bought a pair of velvet gloves and another pair of Victorian earrings. Both of which I'd been eyeing for awhile, and both of which I found out K had gotten me for Christmas already. D'oh! haha Sucky for him. Roll Eyes

Also bought a lovely, long brocade jacket that I'd been crushing on for months. And last night, at my cousin's 16th birthday dinner, I found out that she had the same exact jacket...in the same exact size, no less. Grin

So anyway, now it's time for the not-so-pleasant task of writing out a check for my parents, since they've been covering my car insurance scott-free for months now. Embarrassed

Oy. More later.

Hair: Blargh! Last day ever using diluted shampoo. More power to the people that it works for, but it doesn't work for me. Today was the usual routine. Tomorrow, I clarify.

Health: I don't think I'll be able to power walk again this year. It's pointless during the holidays and soon, it will be too cold anyway. I am still 10 lbs. overweight...and that will have to be just fine for now. I'm not terribly uncomfortable, but I sure as heck don't want to get used to it. I'll resume power walking in February.

Love: Ugh. Angry

Predictably, K has turned sour. So with the aid of PMS, today has become a full scale aggro day. I was wondering when I'd have one of those again.
Rather than carrying K's old driver's license in my back pocket, I exacted revenge by throwing it around my room. The jewelry that he gave me sits neglected on my dresser, and the CD's that he made for me have been ripped out of the player and console of my car, scattered across the backseat and replaced with hard, angry rock. Angry

K's likeness that I drew on the whiteboard at work has been erased. And any of his attempts to call or text me will be ignored. Cooling him off. That's right...I don't take $#&% from anybody. Angry

Life: On a lighter note, my parents are getting what we need for Thanksgiving today. The holidays are upon us. I wish I was happier about that. Undecided

I don't know if it's this funk that K has put me into or the fact that it's still 80° outside, but something just doesn't seem right. I was like this last year too, if I recall, but with a different guy. The holidays went ok last year as I suspect they will again, but not without a dark, disturbing cloud hovering overhead. Y'all know what I mean. That feeling that overshadows everything else, no matter how happy the occasion. You try not to dwell on it, but it's always there. You tell yourself that you have better things to focus on, and yet, when your heart is involved, you can't focus on anything else. It sucks. Sad

But the show will go on, regardless. Thanksgiving will come and go. What I need to think about now is how to eclipse last year's look. My wardrobe has seen a few improvements since and I would like to wear something luxe and festive. Most certainly Victorian. Hair will probably be the same - double bun updo with black rose barrettes. Something that would undoubtably make K smile if he could see me. *sigh* But if he's going to be a Lips Sealed

then I guess it's only right that he misses out. It's not like I'll be dressing up for him anyway.

Oy, I am so not happy today. Sad

Back to work, Angel. Back to work. It's not worth it.

Aww, I'm sorry everything is currently sucking, big sis. If I might be so bold as to ask, what on earth did he do? Or... maybe I shouldn't ask... Undecided

don't want to dwell on suckage. *hug* I hope things get better.
As for the weather making the holidays feel funky... I know precisely what you mean. I have the same feeling. I'm from places where there's more ice for thanksgiving than what's in your drink.

Aww, everybody...

Love: Said all of 2 words to K yesterday. Didn't even say them, really. More like texted. Anywho, this morning I broke down and texted him again to let him know that I wasn't sure whether I wanted to see him anymore, but I thought that we should talk things over before I made that decision final. The only thing that he said back was that his life sucks and he probably shouldn't be seeing anyone. Well, thanx a lot!
Anyway, I told him that I still love him, but I don't tolerate being disrespected (both of which are true). I'm not going to use that old "we'll see what happens" cliché because nothing good ever does. I just hope things work out.

Hair: Clarified! Yay! My clarifying routine now goes like this:

Wash entire length with Pantene Purity shampoo
1L Distilled white vinegar rinse
Wash entire length again with Pantene Purity shampoo
Condition from ears down with Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal conditioner
Leave conditioner in for a few minutes
Condition again at end of shower with Pantene Ice Shine conditioner
Lots of cool water rinses in between these steps, of course

Tomorrow, I will start using Pantene Sheer Volume shampoo. My Ice Shine is now a memory.

Life: Turkey in 2 days. Sweet. Cool

We're still buying stuff for the big night. I have an idea what I'll be wearing. God willing, my skin will be clear enough for makeup.
Aunt Flo certainly isn't helping matters at the moment. Bad enough that I have to be in emotional pain...now I have to be in mad physical pain as well. Ah, Natura...you can be so evil sometimes! Now where did I stash the last bag of guava green tea?

Some Clarity? After talking the "K thing" over with a co-worker, she asked if he was PMS-ing and said that he needed to get over himself. Grin

Yup, that's what girlfriends are for.
