Well, my part time job is going well. I'm finishing training this week and will be starting to really work next week. I'm also keeping my eyes open for the full-time gig, and in better spirits about this than I was a week ago.
I've been giving myself time to read everyday, as part of celebrating the warm weather, and I love it! Especially when I sit on the balcony and read. The weather has been sunny and warm, beautiful!

In the hair dept. I'm wearing it back on the sides with two bobby pins. This at least gives me a feeling of having different styles, even though it's still short. I tried to just wash ever three or four days, but it feels greasy-so I'm washing every two or three. I'm cone-free now, so hopefully that will help. I don't feel it has much build-up, but gets flat and a little too greasy by the third day. I wonder if this will decrease as it grows? Huh

Wow, this is a boring post so far. Maybe I should sign back on later when I'm more interesting.

LOL, boring, I don't think it is boring. I am interested in how your job goes. Keep a talking girl!!!

I found I had to wash my hair less once it passed shoulder length...I dunno about others...you will have to wait and see what they say. I think it depends on the hair and the amount of sebum you put out.

Take care,

JD

PS (I sent an email to work today and signed it JD, my work friends were wondering what I was thinking since my real initials are no where near JD!!!! LOL)

I keep forgetting to mention, so I'll pop in now and say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair color. I only wish mine were that way naturally. Even with longer hair, I still have to wash at least every third day. Undecided

Good luck on finding the full time job though...

I need to do that more often... soon you'll be farther along in the series than I am! Where have you gotten so far?

and thanks j-dog for being interested in the specifics of the job

. as for signing your longlocks' name...i've done that too-almost writing 'rtg' instead of my real name at the end of emails.
well hubby has today off, and has to work tomorrow instead so we are hanging out. i'm cuddled next to him while he watches JAWS, one of his favorite movies. and i'm listening to mozart to drown out the movie. i'm not into shark movies, even ones that are incredibly directed. so yes, it's a good piece of film, but not my idea of a relaxing show. interesting fact...if anyone wants to know what really scares me....deep water. i can swim, but i'm kind of like a cat in water. just swim enough to get myself out of it and then dry in the sun and look grumpy. i like bathing-in the old fashioned sense-of paddling around slowly in shallow water with lily pads around, and floating in a relaxing way-then getting out and drying off and laying in the sun. did i mention i like the sun? so i like bathing, not swimming in deep water-or having to swim hard, or dive deep. i'm not even sure i could swim for very long if i needed to. the handy thing is that i'm married to an ex-lifeguard and emt. so if i drown on his watch, well-nothing could have prevented it. hee, hee. Grin

anyway, this whole swimming tangent was brought on by watching jaws. so add to my list of irrational fears-water and sharks. when i'm in the ocean (we don't live near one, but we've gone several times to visit family out west and i've been swimming in the red sea which has a bunch of sharks) i'm always nervous about them even though i've never had a close encounter.
well, this has nothing to do with hair but thanks for listening.

I will get a pic when I can so you can see my hair. It is close to your color...I think the same but of course we see ourselves different from what we really are. JD.

hmm, so how many of you use jason shampoo? i'm considering getting some, although it's a bit pricey. i have a nice little cheap bottle of 365 from whole foods (it's the store brand) and is mostly free of chemicals, but not totally. or, maybe i should just order one of those shampoo bars i've heard so much about. anyway, i'm not content with my shampoo-and since i want to wash less, i don't want it to feel flat or greasy the day after a wash. this may partly be because of the humidity here, and 90+ weather. i'm also hoping as i get more length, the oil can distibute better when i use the boar bristle brush. Question: who uses shampoo bars and if so, do you also use conditioner?

i took my kitty to get a "lion" trim since she was way too hot, and had a lot of tangles she wouldn't let us get at. now it's all short except her "mane" and puffy tail. very cute, but since we got back from the pet place yesterday, she's been really needy and laying on my lap constantly looking sad. usually she's more independent. i don't usually get my cats groomed, but wanted her to be more comfy for summer. hope she's not depressed from the haircut. maybe she's like us on the site, and wants it long

at least if she does, it will be grown back by winter-since her hair at longest it would grow was about three inches.

lol Your poor cat! Grin

Be sure to keep grooming her fur as it grows out so those nasty tangles don't build up again.

My aunt and uncle have bought 365 brand S&C in the past and I tried it a few times with dreadful results. Shocked

It's terribly cheap stuff and it really dried my hair out. The conditioner burned the back of my neck, and it doesn't contain silicones or anything so my hair ended up being tangle city. Sad

They also use a lot of Jason products, which I'm not the least bit impressed with either. Almost everything in their house is labeled "organic" or "free range" or "100% natural" and comes from the nearby whole foods store. It's kind of funny. I haven't tried shampoo bars, though.
