Trisha, Curlgirl & Lisabelle: Thanx, guys. 

Hair: The usual Friday WTC. Washed entire length with Breakage Defense shampoo, then pinned it up with my beak clip while finishing the rest of my shower. Rinsed again and squeezed the water out with my microfiber towel, then applied Time Renewal Replenishing Mask to the length and pinned it up again. I'm really not sure how long I left this in today, since I neglected to look at the clock at first...but I know that it was over an hour. 
    Anyway, rinsed and conditioned as usual, then ran the usual leave-in crème through the length and let it all air dry. Hair is a bit tangled, but healthy as can be under its present circumstances. And I still haven't scheduled a trim.  

Other: Weeeeee! I'm strung out on caffeine and laughing at the stupids on the phone. One particular example...the first part of my phone answering spiel is "Airgas San Diego," and today, one caller asked, "Is this Airgas?"  
"Yes," I said.
"The one in San Diego?" they ask.
"Yes," I smirk.
Jeez. No, this is actually Barnes & Noble in freaking Seattle.  

I love my job.

Man, I crashed so hard on Friday, it wasn't funny.    From just one Frappuccino. That's how much of a caffeine virgin I am. The slightest little bit and...whoa.  

Anyway, today was a clarifying day. My hair's been feeling really soft lately. I'm not sure if it's the extra sebum, the vinegar rinses, the vitamin E, the antioxidants or just using Restoratives all year...perhaps a combination? Whatever it is, it's working and I'm not gonna complain!  
    Right now, my hair is down and completely dry. I'm just waiting on my break so I can go braid it. 

Yesterday marked 2 months of healing for my new piercings, so I got to take the hoops out. Actually, I couldn't take them out normally, so my father had to take wire cutters to them!   Silver balls and hoop parts went flying all over the living room and our weekend guest was sufficiently freaked out while observing this.  
    But all went well - I cleaned my ears normally for the first time and then dressed them with the silver balls I'd been saving. I can now hold a telephone receiver normally, and I even salvaged a few of the snipped silver hoops to wear as fake nose/lip rings if the urge arises.  

Spent Saturday evening with drummer boy. We hung out for awhile at the studio while he worked on promo pix for the band and I shared a box of girl scout cookies with him. He was housesitting for the band's guitar player over the weekend, so we headed there afterwards and laughed at cheesy stuff on TV. Then I helped him change out the bead in his nipple ring. Ay caramba!! *faint*    

Still haven't called my scissor lady. This is getting ridiculous.

Hair: The usual, simple CWC routine today. 

Products currently used for this:Suave Juicy Green Apple conditioner
Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense shampoo
Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense conditioner
Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense Detangling Leave-In Crème
Goody Ouchless hairties (black)
various seamless combs by Creative and Conair

The routine is still the same: CWC with lots of rinsing, leave-in crème on the length, air dry, braid. I detangle once in the morning before my shower with a Conair seamless comb, once before braiding during my break at work with a Creative seamless comb, and once before bed with a Creative seamless comb. And I do finger comb a bit while my hair is drying.

Other: HAAAAALLELUJAH!!!   It's finally happened. The scale read 112.2 this morning - a number I've not seen since my senior year in high school.   The rock & roll figure is BACK!  
    Both my mother and sister have commented recently that I look skinny. hehe An encouraging word for my long-locked sisters who are trying to lose weight: it's possible. Diet, exercise and discipline! Good things happen if you really work your butt off. Literally in this case.    Oh, and stay away from steroids - that $#&%'ll kill ya! 
    So yeah, I'm stoked.  

In crappier news, some idiot rear-ended me on the way to work today.    Lucky for him, there wasn't so much as a scratch on my car. Judging by the '70's POS he was driving, I'd say that he didn't have any money and was probably without insurance, so the most I could have done was gotten out of my car and pounded the living snot out of him.    Again, fortunately for him, I was in a hurry to get to work and decided that it was not worth my while. 
    Then, at the intersection by my work, I was almost struck head on by some airhead broad who was turning against a light, not watching traffic, and didn't seem to know or care who had the right of way. ARGH! The morons are on the loose today, man.  

Got a random text from K last night. Either he was drunk or just can't let go. Not my problem either way. Considering that I'm now dating someone else, I thought it most inappropriate to reply.

Later on, I dreamed that my last boyfriend told me that he was still in love with me, handed me a ring with 2 diamonds on it and asked me to marry him.    Then I reminded him what a lying scumbag he was and we got into a fight. Needless to say, I did not accept his proposal!

You're right, being diligent about diet and exercise DO pay off in the long run. Sorry to hear about the bad day, car-wise...sounds like you should have stayed in bed! I'm extremely happy that you weren't hurt.

Trisha, Curlgirl, Lisabelle & La Diosa: Thank youuuuuu! 

Big Ol' Pile O' Shift Work: Got called into work early today. Made it in at 10:44 and am stuck here 'til 5. But I have the easiest job in the world, I have a few menial tasks to keep me busy (updating lists, answering the phone, surfing the web) and I brought things to eat. Had a nice vegan breakfast of açai purée, sliced bananas and organic granola. 
    One other little perk is that the longer I'm here, the greater my chances of seeing my fire tech crush.  

Hair: WCC today. I often have difficulty with my hair in the shower. What happens is I'll work conditioner through the length, then twist it loosely and pin it up on my head with a beak clip, but it will often start sliding down and falling out as I go about the rest of my "shower duties." It's getting to be a hassle as my hair gets longer, and that's part of why I started using a shower cap years ago to hold my hair out of the way. But it seems both options are not without flaw.    I'll figure something out.

So far, hair is down and almost dry. I still haven't called my scissor lady and I'm disgusted with myself. So I took Maggie's trick and wrote scissor lady's first initial in the webbing between my thumb and index finger. Hopefully it will work this time. I really need a trim!

Other Stuff: I washed my car last night - with a reject Pantene 2-in-1, no less - and it worked wonderfully!    I also gave her a coat of spray wax as I dried her. This morning, she looks absolutely beautiful and I haven't even done any real detailing yet. I'll try to take care of that when I get home from work. Yes, I clean and detail my own car, and I'm more obsessive about it than most guys I know.  
    Good thing is she's clean, shiny and shows no trace of ever being hit yesterday. Thank goodness for clear coated plastic parts made in Japan.

Hair: CWC routine today. Actually remembered to bring a hairtie to work with me so I can braid during my break. 
    Once again, Maggie's webbing reminder trick failed as I was sidetracked by other projects. So my hair still waits for a trim. Maybe this weekend.  

Ears: Daring to be just a leeeettle bit fashionable today. 1st holes: scrolly, drop-style pewter hearts with dark pink gems; 2nd holes: small pewter balls; 3rd holes: tiny pewter balls. 
    I love coordinating 3 pairs of earrings. It's fun, but also a lot of work. Don't think I could handle 4! 

Other: Got one little text from drummer boy yesterday and that's all I've heard from him since Saturday. Apparently, he's having a dreadful week.  
    
In other news, I now have the cleanest, shiniest car in the parking lot at work.    I like just staring at her.  She cleans up so nice.

Hair: The usual Friday WTC. Products used for this are:Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense shampoo
Pantene Restoratives Time Renewal Replenishing Mask
Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense conditioner
Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense Detangling Leave-In Crème

Used a shower cap instead of my beak clip today. I guess it's just better that way - I give.    Haven't braided yet, but I will soon. 

Finally scheduled a trim for tomorrow at 11 am.    Goodbye, dry ends!

Other: Still no word from drummer boy. Argh! Whatever.  
My father's birthday is on Monday, and his father (my only surviving grandparent) is flying in this afternoon to stay with us. Woohoo! Need to stay made up and put together this weekend as I'll likely have to make a few public appearances.  

Bon week-end, tout le monde.
