Oh my lovelies, there's no question that men get PMS. lol But there's a difference between being hormonal and being an outright jerk. Just like there's a difference between being frustrated and taking those frustrations out on innocent people. Angry

I digress...

Hair: The routine has officially changed. Now, instead of CWC's, I'm doing CWC-C's. Products are as follows:

Suave Aloe & Waterlily conditioner
Pantene Sheer Volume shampoo
Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal conditioner
Pantene Ice Shine conditioner
Pantene Detangling leave-in spray conditioner

This pattern should continue until my bottle of Ice Shine conditioner is empty.
Still air drying & braiding every day. At the moment, my hair is doing the former.

Turkey Day: Tomorrow! Cheesy

My sister and I are making pies tonight. Lemon meringue for her and pumpkin for me. I must also do my nails tonight...more Lincoln Park At Midnight, which should complement the dark plum coloured blouse that I'll be wearing tomorrow. Victorian, naturally. Everything else from velvet jeans to jewelry will be black. Wink

Shoes - well, boots (I hardly ever just wear shoes) - will either be velvet granny style or Victorian with Queen Anne heels. Haven't worn either pair in quite awhile, but the granny boots are deathly uncomfortable and I am not able to walk in them much. Learned that the hard way during a trip to Catalina Island for a dance inside The Casino ballroom (rarely open to the public). Haven't touched those blasted boots since. Grin

Fortunately, Thanksgiving dinner doesn't require much walking.
I'll start getting ready 2 hours before family is supposed to arrive. If K is lucky, I'll take a pic when I'm finished and send it to him.

Love? Still haven't talked things over with K. Sad

This situation is beginning to seem all too familiar. Check out my pre-Thanksgiving entries from last year:

From 11/20/06: Quote:

Everything good that's happened has been overshadowed by the fact that my far-away friend & I spent the entire weekend fighting. Cry

It's thrown me for a loop and I am no longer sure of anything. Well...I'm sure that I love him. Beyond that, I haven't a clue, and I find myself wondering (again) whether I'd be better off walking away.

...*sigh* Perhaps a solitary life really is best for me.

And from 11/22/06: Quote:

So yeah, many positive things to focus on. I hope that they can pull me out of the funk that he's pushed me into. Or at least help. It's hard not to dwell on it when your heart's involved, though. *sigh* Alright, Angel, do not let him ruin your 4 day weekend! No guy is worth that!

Mmmhmm. Sounds to me like same $#&%, different year. Or different fool, same foolishness. Granted, it was 2 completely different scenarios, this year and last, but it's enough to trigger some déja vu. Perhaps the only way to ensure that my holidays are happy is to avoid romantic entanglements altogether. Sad

I have seriously considered it more times than any of you know.

Life: Whomever said that money can't buy happiness either never had any money, never had to live without money or just wasn't a very happy person in general. I'd be a heck of a lot happier if my car was paid off and I could afford to return to school, get my own place, attend concerts whenever I wished and not have to starve so often. But that's life.
My car is due for it's 15K mile service and its next payment will wipe me out completely. What happens if K and I settle the score and I actually have to take him to Disneyland? And what about Christmas? I've already had to cancel my upcoming dentist appointment for financial reasons. You see? Money is everything. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm sure there are positive things to focus on...I just can't seem to find them today. Sad

Oh well. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

I believe happiness, like so many things, is a choice. Certainly wondering where the next meal is coming from is stressful. So is wondering where the next car payment is coming from.

But think of how many rich and/or famous people have tried suicide. If money bought happiness, wouldn't they be happy?

I know in my life I have said "If I could make this much a year...". Then more than once I have realized that I am, in fact, now making that amount, and I have no more happiness, or even financial security, than I did when I said the words.

So I have decided that happiness is not connected to your financial state at all, but is a state of mind based on your connection to both God and other people. If you are connected, and those connections satisfy your emotional needs, you are happy. If not, you are not.

I'm not sure I'm communicating exactly what I mean, since it is nearly one in the morning, but a nutshell way might be this.

If you are looking for happiness, it ain't in your purse.

I wish you both joy and peace, Angel. May you find the happiness you seek. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

The holidays often bring out the worst in people, and many people suffer from extreme depression this time of year. Sorry things aren't going the way you want. I hope your pie turns out great and your feet are comfy. Have you tried putting a little vaseline on your feet where your boots rub?

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Angel.

I've been with and without money and I know that problems don't discriminate, so I also believe that happiness is a choice, but that's just my experience. I can't and don't want to speak for anyone else. All I can say is that I hope things turn around for you soon, and that you enjoy your holiday! (((hugs)))

Anyway, your outfit sounds great so at anyrate, you'll look beautiful! Wink

Black Friday.

Spent the day waiting for a certain white trash chain store pharmacy *ahem* to refill my prescription ("closed for a 15 minute break" my foot! Angry

) and shopping a bit for my Secret Santa assignment. The good news is I eventually did get my prescription and now have a vague idea of what kind of a gift to get. No hints. hehe Wink

Thanksgiving went rather well, though I ended up wearing an entirely different outfit than the one I had planned. I did wear the velvet jeans & granny boots, but went with a black lace Victorian top instead of the plum coloured one. My hair was twisted into the usual double bun updo, and at either side of the buns, I placed a black rose barrette with strips of black lace & ribbon streaming down from them. Got to wear my new Victorian earrings too. Very goth. I snapped a few pix with my camera phone and sent them to K who said that I looked "HOT!" Grin

Predictably, the boots killed me after a few hours and I traded them for slippers. lol

The night before Thanksgiving, I finally talked things over with K, who had been dodging the issue on purpose and claiming that he always shies away from confrontation. hehehe Him not know me vewy weww, do him? Wink

As the situation demanded, I cornered him at his house, where he could neither run nor hide...tied him down and tortured him...brutally and mercilessly, with slanderous curses and cruel, unusual devices...until he screamed the humblest of apologies. This Angel's tough when she needs to be. Grin

Well ok, it wasn't quite that dramatic. lol But I did make him take responsibility for his actions.

He invited me to go shopping with him tomorrow...and then to Old Town...San Diego's oldest, most historical (and most haunted) district. Wink

My nails didn't get done yesterday, but they are now a strange shade of...blue, I guess. An OPI colour called Light My Sapphire.
In cosmetic news, I was reminded that L'Oreal foundation has a dreadful yellow tint to it and darkens on my skin, and just eyeliner by itself looks pretty bad on me. Strange. I can get away with just shadow, but liner alone makes my lids look tired and heavy.

As far as hair goes, I am still doing the CWC-C's. Wasn't able to do the usual Friday WTC because my mother & I had the day off and she stayed home. Blah. Guess it will have to wait until monday.
I think that there may be some over-conditioning going on because my hair is separating into strands instead of lying smooth and aligned. I may do a heavy EVOO treatment tonight and just wash all of my hair in the morning.
Also, I am not sure how much I like this Sheer Volume/DMR combo. I'll be more able to tell after my Ice Shine conditioner is gone and I don't have to use it for a "last step." It is possible that my hair just prefers Ice Shine S&C to anything else. We shall see.

Anyway, thanx to everyone who replied. Things are a little bit better now, though not on the financial end. But I guess that's just not going to get better until after Christmas. Tongue

Must go now...I have a headache.

AMEN to that Shocked

You may want to try one of my tricks. When I get depressed about the lack of fundage, I focus on what I *can* do and not what I *cannot*. Make greeting cards instead of buying them, bake cookies/pies/cakes/other food to give as gifts instead of spending money on items, give the gift of your time, etc. Gift-giving should NOT always be about the price tag. Wink

And I know you're not talking only about gifts; you're talking about life issues...dental appts., car payments, independence. 2007 is almost over, sistah--2008 will be much better, I promise. If it's not, you have my permission to whip me with a wet noodle.

Trisha: You know, I completely forgot about baking cookies! What a great idea!
See, every year while I was growing up, just before Christmas, my mother and sister and I would go over to my aunt's house (the one I sit for) and we would all bake zillions of cookies. Every kind imaginable! And we used to give most of them away as gifts. The problem is that we haven't done this in several years, so it hasn't been at the front of my mind. Undecided

hehehe You'd like that, wouldn't you? Wink

Hair: Had some irregular treatment over the weekend. Different wash methods, no time for a deep conditioning treatment, but did manage to work in at least one overnight EVOO. For the most part, it has been left down, but last night, I tried out a new 'do before rushing off to a dinner/movie date with K. I took a small section of hair from the top/front of my head - no bigger than a Juliet cap - and simply tied it back. Sort of like a half up, but with less hair. A quarter up?? Huh

Either way, I ended up pulling some hair out with the hairtie when I went to take it down, so it's not a style that I am likely to recreate anytime soon. Angry

At the moment, it is braided as usual. I might do another overnight EVOO tonight because tomorrow is clarifying day. Also really looking forward to measure day.

Secret Santa: Gifts are purchased. All I have to do is wrap them and ship them out. I do not know this person terribly well, so I hope they like what I got them. It isn't much...

Other: My electric razor finally crapped out on me the other day. Stupid thing literally fell apart while I was cleaning it. Not a huge loss because the bloody thing bit me all the time, but it is one more thing that I just can't afford right now. *sigh* Just a few more paychecks and I will be all caught up financially. Apparently, everyone is going the cheap route this Christmas - good to know that I'm not alone.
I am still planning to take K to Disneyland on the 5th. And...maybe a little something extra on the 7th.
Speaking of K...he took me to see Beowulf last night. He also hogged the popcorn and squeezed the life out of my hand. Sad

The movie was a snoozer.

Some Sadness: My sister's bf broke up with her on Saturday night. Or technically, very early Sunday morning, I guess. The boy is a fool! Angry

He was his own first priority, so my sister is better off, if you ask me. She was actually considering breaking up with him before Christmas, so all he did was save her the trouble, really.
But for the moment, she is hating life. It pains me to see her so down. If her now ex isn't crying as much as she undoubtably has been, he eventually will...because he will realize what he gave up. Loser. Angry

hehehe Trish...you did give me permission. Wink

Well, no EVOO treatment last night. My sleeping cap was in the hamper & I didn't feel like digging it out. Roll Eyes

Today was clarifying day. 2nd day without any leave-in's. I don't think I remembered to bring a hairtie with me, so hair will stay down while I'm at work...darnit. Undecided

Tonight, my sleeping cap will be clean, so I'll probably do an EVOO treatment. All of my hair will be washed again tomorrow before a deep conditioning treatment. I want to compensate as much as possible for not being able to deep condition last week.

Ack! I have part of a popcorn kernel stuck in my gums and I can't get it out. Yeah...I make popcorn at the office all the time...and what's more, K can't hoard it all! haha!
He insists that doing so was not his intent the other night, but I don't think I believe him. Men are so selfish. Tongue

This morning, I managed to repair my electric razor. It still bites, but it will work (poorly) until I can afford to replace it.

Things are ok on the romantic front. More good than bad, I suppose. But bad enough to keep me from being completely happy. I'm "riding the wind" as a former co-worker once put it. Going along and waiting to see if problems ever find resolve and my fears ever find relief.
