LD: Exactly! Moreover, you're not limited to what's in the stores
right now. You can wait until they have something that you like. Stores are always so picked over after Christmas anyway.
Hair: Simple CWC routine today, as I had the morning shift at work. I'll comb & braid during my break as usual.
Some noteworthy things that happened at my aunt & uncle's place Christmas night:
- I was sitting on the couch with my sister & cousin. The latter was looking at my hair and remarked, "Your hair is getting long again." Then my sister chimed in, "And it smells like apples too!" Apparently, she thinks that Pantene Restoratives smells like apples, as she had told me this a few days prior. Anyway, my cousin seized a lock of my hair and pulled it toward herself so she could smell it.
- I had worn my hair down that night and was combing it out before we all went out for a walk after dinner. In the hallway, my aunt watched me for a second and then said that my hair looked sooo soft and silky, and that whenever she saw it she just wanted to touch it and play with it. lol I smiled and said, "You can." So she ran her fingers through the length of my hair for a moment, then said, "It feels as soft as it looks!"
It totally made my night.
If ever I lost sight of my reasons for growing my hair long again (not that I would), I have those relatives to remind me.
Hair Goals For 2008: - Reach and pass BSL
- Take Hair, Skin & Nails vitamins every day for 6 months
- Do scalp massages every night for 6 months
- Determine whether either of these have any effect on my growth rate
Hair Resolutions For 2008:- Use only Pantene Restoratives
- Go brush-free. Seamless combs only
The best hair resolution that I broke this year was the Suave boycott. As it turns out, Suave conditioners are useful for CWC's, which I learned this year that my hair is ok with.
Personal Resolutions For 2008: - Lose weight
- Make a better effort to wear earrings every day
- Really start learning things on my bass
Personal Goals For 2008: - Find a new job
- Get as close to my comfortable weight as possible for my 10 year reunion
- Finally get the tattoo that I've wanted for over 10 years
- Get more piercings (just in the ears, gasp not
)
Other Stuff: Picked up my father from work yesterday. He started off cordial but then yelled at me all the way home.
Mostly for not being able to pay bills this month and destroying his credit (which I didn't)...but a host of other things too. *sigh*
The thing about my dad is that he can't just discuss anything like a civil human being - he has to yell, fly off the handle, make wild assumptions and bring up things that aren't even relevant. He will say all sorts of things about me that aren't even true. Then when I try to correct him, he either accuses me of lying or says that I don't know what I'm talking about. As if he knows me better than I do. It's...difficult to say the least. And after 20-some-odd years of this, my natural response is to just shut down, be silent and let him think whatever he wants. If I respond at all, it's down to "yeah" or "fine" or "whatever." Don't get me wrong, I understand him being angry. Technically, he owns my car and if I miss a payment, it's his credit that's on the line. Not mine. I would probably be upset if I were in his position too. But I can totally do without all of the drama.
Today, I finally mailed off a 2 month payment on my car, plus late fee.
It will overdraw my account (which is now just barely in the black) but it's better than having my dad's credit take another hit. Of course, my bank will send all kinds of happy little notices in the mail about negative balances and overdraft charges...but it's a necessary sacrifice. I will be caught up financially in a month or 2. God only knows what will be done about the water bill...I've left that one for my father to pay.
On the subject of notices from my bank, however, I have discovered that my parents are now opening my mail (which of course is a federal freaking offense!) and retaining said notices...for blackmail purposes, I guess.
So now I must be more diligent about sorting through the mail - being the first person to go through it as often as possible - and pulling out what is mine. Otherwise, I may never see it.
Yeah, I know. It's messed up. My entire upbringing was messed up. Thus, we have a very messed up Angel.
On the romantic front, well...let's just say that I have my suspicions about K. Oh, I don't think that he's been unfaithful or anything like that. But there's something that I'm rather suspicious about. And the sucky thing is that lately it seems he has no time just for conversation. I can't possibly address the things that bother me if he never has time to talk...and so they keep bothering and my worries multiply.
Oh yes, and I was rather surprised when the scale said 117.8 this morning. After scarfing holiday goodies and such. hehe Only 7.8 lbs to go!
Alright, enough of my blabbering. Bye for now.
