oops, kitty hit 'post' before I was done.  sorry.  I have fed him now so he is busy and wont do it again.  LOL, I will post a pic of him once I get back to work since my best one is on my work computer.

Tell Hubby you love him dearly and then shoot him.       Once a week...grrr.

I get my oils from my local health store.  I dunno if that helps.

new product report: yeah!

so i spoiled myself at the health food store and spent about 40 minutes wandering the shampoo shelves. ended up buying JASON lavender strengthening shampoo and conditioner. used it this morning and love the smell. can't speak for the texture as  i'll need to see how my hair is in three days. also got some rosemary hair oil in a tiny expensive bottle. i put a little in last night just at the ends. that smells great too and isn't as heavy as the only other oil i've tried-olive oil.

now on to my favorite harping subject:
job search. today after getting home from my part time job, which btw is going great, i spend two hours calling schools in my area and looking for open positions. did some faxing, and will hopefully get an interview out of it.  sad news on the interview from last week-they hired someone else with many more years of teaching experience, which i can understand but of course still stinks. btw, angel, it wasn't because of my hair, because thanks to your suggestion-my interview hair was very cool.  so the search continues.
dear hubby pointed out that God wants me to have more patience with myself and with these kind of processes and i know he's right. ugg. patience. i'm trying to have it, but i've been looking for over four months!!!! eek.

anyway, on to a much happier subject. we bought a little bistro table for the balcony. perfect spot for me to drink my coffee each morning. the kitties come out with me and look at birds, while i start off my day slow. my plants are looking good and one tomato is almost ready to eat! yippee! so now the balcony, tiny though it is, is all festive with a red table and red tomatoes adorning it. since we are in the city, it's our version of a back yard so we fit a lot of living into that tiny space

also, found a very cool resale shop near my pt job. i know i've mentioned on here that i buy clothes second hand most the time, and i love finding cool bargains. i found a beautiful beaded necklace (looks handmade) today for two dollars. that was very exciting.

ok, off to change the laundry.

RTG, I was getting worried about you!!!

So sorry you did not get the job, but your hubby is right...be patient...because what is perfect for you will come. 

I hope you really like your new hair shampoo.  Let us know.

Oh your balcony sounds so nice.  I can see you out there with the kitties.   How nice.  And I hope you enjoy your tomato.  LOL, here I am with land and not one tomato plant...OK, next year...it is on the list.  I love tomato sandwiches and fried tomatoes and...well you get the point...funnily enough I do not lot spagetti and stuff...I think I prefer tomato raw or close too.

Hope you are good.

I just love asparagus.  I cook it on the bbq.  I just spray a little olive oil on it and let it roast away.   Mmmm, that tomato sandwich description made my mouth water.  Ok, the fresh basil it going on the shopping list for tomorrow night.

yahoo, new pics!!!  Can't wait.

BTW, I did buy fresh basil and tomato and enjoyed it to no end. Funny how we forget the simple and wonderful recipes.  I was thinking I have not had a cucumber sandwich all summer!!  Yet I aways have fresh dill here!

thanks angel, may need to pick up some cute head bands and give that a shot. good idea!
jdog, now you've got me thinking of cucumber sandwiches! yum! i love vegetables, although i love bread too...so i have to keep an eye on that latter obsession.
ok, can't chat long today. i worked this morning at my pt job and am covering a short evening shift too, so i'm heading back there soon for tonight.
i put jordan on hold to read the final book in the harry potter series. i've enjoyed some of the others, but am not gaga like some folks around here. it's a fast read, so i should be back to my other series by wed.

i've been very distracted from the job search and daily life lately b/c a family member of mine is chronically ill and may be passing away soon, so this week i'm taking off from work and driving  out to visit her. i know it will be hard to see her in such a weakened state, but i really do want to make one last visit so i'll be off the site for a few days after wed. it's going to be hard to see her like this, but still, i know she is leaving on the best of terms with her life, family and God.

thanks curlgirl
