Whoa. Well, for the record, I didn't learn the word "patois" in high school French either.  Wink  Part of learning any foreign language is independent study.
    The part that does take place in a classroom has a lot to do with the teacher. I was blessed to have a fabulous French teacher who emphasized the culture as well as the language. She encouraged everyone to extend their studies absorb whatever they could outside of class in addition to our regular curriculum.
    Like everything else, you must have an interest in what you're learning if you're going to actually learn it.  Wink

Grin  Same here. And good luck with your junk food management.  Smiley

Health: Speaking of junk food strikes, I've been on mine for almost a week now without even thinking about it. Well, ok, I've thought about it a little bit (while walking past the Godiva boutique over the weekend, for example). But I've been distracting myself with healthy eating enough that it hasn't really bothered me.  Smiley  When I last checked the scale, I was down to 118 and something. Not a number I like, but one I can work with.

While shopping over the weekend, I happened upon a tea that I'd been hoping to try: Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice. It's chai, essentially. But because it's made from herbs instead of tea leaves, it's caffeine-free.  Cheesy  Moreover, it's delicious! One of few teas that actually tastes like it smells. I'd love to try it iced with milk and honey added. Mmmm...

Hair: The usual CWC routine today. Same leave-in's. Today, my hair is wrapped twice in a bun and pinned into place, with the ends all splaying out over my head and around the bun in wispy, spiky pieces. It's "cute", tame punk-goth...appropriate for the office.  Wink  Bet it would look even cooler and more goth if my hair was dark auburn or burgundy. *sigh* I'd love to be able to maintain those colors, but right now it's just not practical. Think I'll hold off on coloring my hair until I can afford the upkeep/I start going gray.

Music: Practice tomorrow. Lizard wants all of the singers there an hour early to go over the vocals.

Other Stuff: I have another coupon for $3 off at Boudin, so I'm headed to the mall...being that it's now quittin' time. C-yaz!  Cheesy

That's probably my trouble. I had a great teacher two out of the four years, of course they weren't consecutive. The biggest set back was suffered my Freshman year, my French teacher was nuts... oh the stories I could tell people.  lmao Grin Roll Eyes And by time my final year rolled around I had another inept teacher, just because she went to France once doesn't mean she's qualified to teach the language. She was actually an English teacher but they had too many so they stuck her in the Foreign Language department.  Roll Eyes *sigh* another perk of going to a hick school.  lol Grin I stopped taking it that year because I found out she was going to be teaching the AP course next year.  Shocked Needless to say that I would've failed that AP test.

True enough. Hence, whenever the money comes in...which would be oh the twelfth of never.  Grin Roll Eyes I plan on getting the "Rosetta Stone" software and teaching myself French along with several other languages.  Smiley

    My high school only had one French teacher. Thank God she was more than qualified to teach it! The 3rd and 4th year classes were so small that they had to be combined, so she taught both at the same time. Also, because of their small size, it was required that both be Honors classes.
    And in all honesty, I don't recommend learning any foreign language via software. There are bound to be details that only living human beings can teach you. Les accents-graves, pour exemple.  Wink

In that sense, we're pretty opposite. I'm not a fan of hardcore caffinated teas and black teas have the highest amount of caffeine. Never tried decaf Earl Grey though...

Me neither, man.  Tongue  But...place cinnamon in the bottom of the filter first, then measure out however much fresh ground coffee you plan on using and put that on top. Do not mix the two. Just place the filter in as usual and let the machine do its thang.
    Pour half a cup of coffee and fill the other half with 1% (or 2%, if you prefer) milk. Add 6 teaspoons of sugar and stir. Top with whipped cream and cinnamon. Voilà.  Wink
   
If you use flavored creamers like International Delights, fill the cup about ¾ of the way full and add creamer to taste. But be aware that straight cream is one of the most fattening things you can put in your body.  Tongue

Believe it or not, I used to be an avid coffe drinker...many years ago...when I was about your age.  Roll Eyes

Another solution would be to live with a talented barista.  Grin

Hair: Since my work schedule was changed today, I went ahead and clarified this morning. No leave-in's...and I paid the price when the time came to detangle and braid.  Tongue  So my hair is stripped and extremely tangle prone. At least it's contained.

Music: Also, since I had to work the afternoon shift instead of morning today, I won't be able to make the vocal rehearsal with the band tonight.  Undecided  Instead, I'll have to show up at the usual time. But I suppose it's ok because I wasn't really looking forward to having my harmonies picked apart anyway. It's too close to the show to change them now.

Other Stuff: Well, after a week-long junk food strike and increasing my activity level, I've lost almost no weight at all.  Angry  Makes me almost wanna go hog wild at Godiva. With my luck, I'd lose weight if I did.  Roll Eyes

Yesterday evening, I did go to Boudin and use my coupon. The bread was fresh and the café was nearly empty.  Smiley  But this morning, my weight was back up to 119.8.  Shocked  Angry
    I'm sure that the real culprit is dreaded Aunt Flo, who loves to make me fat & tired no matter what I eat. She's been a tame visitor so far...but oh, she's not fooling anyone. I know that she really wants me to spend the rest of the day sleeping and scarfing the best chocolate that money can buy.  Roll Eyes  How I wish that didn't sound tempting.  Grin  Doesn't help that Godiva sent me a coupon for free stuff either.  Grin

Nope.  Sad

Hair: Morning shift calls for a simple routine. Today's was the usual CWC. Afterwards, I worked the usual Detangling Leave-In Crème through the length, then slicked my sister's Enjoy hair serum on the ends & underside. As of now, it's just barely dry.

At the office, I've gathered a small collection of hairs that have fallen out while I've been at work. I should take them home with me today to add to September's harvesting collection. The month is almost over, after all.  Shocked

This Saturday is my trim. I'm neutral about it...as with most everything else.

Music: Dad & I didn't end up being terribly late to practice after all. We hadn't quite finished arriving or setting up by 7:00, so we really didn't lose anything. Baby Sister & I got to practice all of 1 flippin' note.  Roll Eyes
   The rest of the time was consumed with the boys' bickering about how to harmonize around us. Inspector Gadget (my father's guitarist, so nicknamed for his myriad of electronic devices), who has played with the band for a grand total of 2...maybe 3 weeks...took it upon himself to start dictating harmonies to everyone. Made me quite feel like strangling the guy. I mean, who did he think he was, Boscoe?  Grin  In any case, I stuck to my guns, singing exactly what I'd been singing the entire time. Baby Sister did the same...and we just let the boys duke it out among themselves.  Roll Eyes  In the end, we decided not to have any male harmonies at all. Only Lizard's melody with female accompaniment and my vocal splitter.

The whole band ran through the opera once, took a break, then begrudgingly went back and went over a few of the songs. We were all tired as crap.  Tongue  But our sound has been refined to the point where we could present it...so we're more or less ready for the show.

No practice tomorrow. Moon Pie's playing at the House Of Blues with his funk band and the rest of our band is going to see him. Really looking forward to that. Moon Pie mentioned last night that the guys in his funk band are all young, nerdy, good looking and single.  Grin

Oh, and kudos go out to Lizard for the carne asada street tacos and to Moon Pie for grilling up a few tortillas for me. hehe

Other Stuff: I'm not a morning person by a long shot. But sometimes...when I get up early enough...it's actually kinda cool. Today was one of those mornings. The air was actually almost cold, the sky was pale gray and there was a semi-dense fog hovering through most of the city. I actually had to run the defroster in my car...with heat, even!  Shocked  Grin
   It was the kind of morning that called for a decaf white mocha and cinnamon coffee cake. So after dropping my father off at his work, I headed to Starbucks and ended my week-long, futile junk food strike. With my weight temporarily stuck at 119, I guess I'd just rather be fat & happy than fat & deprived.  Tongue  I can strike again before the show if need be, but I'm not gonna kill myself over it. Thank God my corset laces up in the back and is therefore adjustable.  Roll Eyes

Trisha: *hugs* Thanx, chica. But for someone whose maximum comfortable weight is 110, being 9 lbs. over that is fat for me. I'm a typically tiny thing, remember...  Wink

True, in theory. But that's assuming that nothing can be done to fix the areas of your life that suck.

Money-back guarantees = always helpful, caffeine = evil and nerds = hot.  Grin

Hair: The usual CWC routine with the usual leave-in crème on the length. Today, I misted the ends with VO5 shine spray because I planned to wear my hair down and didn't want it to tangle hopelessly.
    As of now, it's in a flipped half-up. Wispy strands are falling down on their own to frame my face a bit and I'm not gonna fight them.
    When I used my compact and the restroom mirror to check the back of my hair at work, I was rather surprised at how long it's gotten. It really isn't terribly far from waist length now. And despite the obvious damage, it's in much better condition this time around than last time I was at waist length. Man, that was a long time ago...! I almost wish I still had pictures from back then. It would be a hoot to post some of them here.

Of course, I completely forgot to bring the hairs that I was saving at the office home yesterday. And of course, they are nowhere to be found today. That's always how it happens. Man, I wish I was more together.  Undecided

Music: Tonight's the band outing at House Of Blues. I plan to be at Lizard's place at 7:00 and he'll be driving us from there. No way in ... I'm driving downtown at night by myself.  Shocked
    My father left some of his gear in the music room at Lizard's place, so I'll have to take it home with me when we get back. Dad's playing a rodeo this weekend, so he'll need it.

So...yeah. I'm fixed up, gothed out and hoping that my makeup will survive the night without a total meltdown.  Tongue  Should be a fun night...

Other Stuff: Last night, I went hog wild cleaning my car. While I was doing that, some kid on a scooter rode up to me and asked why I was washing my car at like 9:00 at night.  Grin  I answered, "Because I work during the day." After a somewhat awkward pause, the kid asked, "Do you do one side and then the other?"  I smiled, "Kinda, yeah." Seeming satisfied, the kid rode off again. hehe
    In any case, I did the detailing on my baby this morning. Now, with the exception of a few marks, dings and scratches (all minor), she looks like she just rolled off of the lot.  Cool  It pleases me how she can look brand new after 2 years and 25,000 miles. She cleans up so lovely.

Speaking of cars, my bff, T just bought himself a new Corolla LE yesterday. Black with a gray interior. He totally trumped me.  Grin  But it's ok because mine still gets better gas mileage and I'm going to have some siiick detailing done to it as soon as I can afford to. Not to mention the killer deal I got on it.  Wink

What else...? My dad's family will be arriving from WA tomorrow morning. My parents have been in a week-long frenzy trying to get the house and yards into shape. Not sure what we'll all be doing next week, but they should be coming to my band's show on the 2nd.

Well, it's just about time for me to start closing up & shutting down here at the office. Then, I must pick up my father from his work, go home and refresh my hair/makeup/outfit/whatever, then I'm off to Lizard's.

Peace, people.

At 119 how do you do a corset?

I was 114 last I checked, though 120-125  is better for me (as long as it means I've added strength and tone, not fat! ;)  and though I have a corset I never really wear it because I dont think it looks right on me. Like maybe I need more *cough* stuff to squeeze to get any good out of it without cracking ribs?  (well, ok, there's also not really anywhere to wear it TO out here atm but still.)

 I have worn many corsets over the years from Jean Paul Gauitler bullet corsets to Renn fest stays...now a days I pour myself in an go! Grin I find they help keep my back streight but also to wear them in moderation and never in very hot weather without loosening them. Smiley

Leliel: So corsets work better for you when you're heavier?  Huh  That is weird. The one I'm wearing on Thursday has hook & eye closures down the front and laces up in the back, so it can be adjustable to a point. The boning is also very light and flexible, since it's designed for fashion and not support. So no cracked ribs or eyes popping out. I will need to breathe since I'll be singing.  Roll Eyes

Isabeau: Girl, where did you find a Jean Paul Gaultier corset?! ...

Tanai: If you thought the shift from teens to 20's was interesting, just you wait.  Roll Eyes  And lol @ "body confidence"...where do you learn all of these buzz words, chica?  Grin  Corsets are a common staple in my subculture and onstage. The next time you watch a musical performance on TV, take a look at the backup singers. I'll bet you at least one of them will be wearing some kind of corset top.  Wink
    It's got absolutely nothing to do with confidence - bleh! At least not for me.

Hair: Got it trimmed today!  Smiley
This morning, I woke up and measured it at 26½". Then, I took a shower and did the usual CWC. When it came time for leave-in's, I used my Pantene Restoratives Detangling Leave-In Crème and then quite a bit of my sister's Enjoy serum. I worked it in up to my ears but still had trouble combing my hair out, so I spritzed some of my sister's Enjoy leave-in spray on the top of my head where my hair is hardest to comb. I also used VO5 shine spray liberally on the really tough spots. I tell you, my hair is impossible to deal with when it's wet! I do much better just leaving it alone!

So I jumped into my car and arrived at Scissor Lady's house about 40 minutes late.  Embarrassed  But it ended up being ok because she completely forgot about my appointment and was still in her nightdress when I got there.  Grin  So, I visited with her pets while waiting for her to get dressed.
    She ended up taking an inch and a half from the bottom of my hair. It needed it. And as much as I hate using straight oil on my hair, I wish I had today! My hair tangled pretty badly at some points while Scissor Lady was cutting it.  Sad

*pauses for a moment as AOL Radio plays her favorite Cure song*  Wink

Yeah. So, the next time I go in for a trim, I'll have to remember oil & leave-in spray conditioner. I think I'll also give Scissor Lady a little Christmas bonus.  Wink

When I came home, I gave the hair a good rinse and let it air dry while I ran around town - ugh! In 90° weather.  Tongue  I bought some new shower poofs and caps and wasted some $$$ at Godiva. Angel = hopeless.  Roll Eyes
    Upon returning, I combed and measured my hair again. 25 inches. Isn't that where I was at the beginning of the year? Think so. Anyway, hair is up in a flipped ponytail and I'm thinking that next year, I'll start growing for length again instead of maintaining BSL. I'd rather maintain at waist length once I reach it, I think. I'm also really looking forward to next year so I can start using Ice Shine S&C again. Restoratives is great - don't get me wrong. But it's expensive and I'm not a huge fan of the Time Renewal line.

Music: So Thursday night was a blast! The House Of Blues downtown is a beautiful place! All old Spanish and Aztec design. It's a restaurant on the street level and a venue underneath. There's a room with the stage & main bar for shows and a room beside it for just hanging out.

And wow, I'm running out of room...next page!

Cont'd: Moon Pie's band was pretty tight. When Lizard & I arrived, he introduced me to the (hot) lead singer.  Wink  The guys in his band aren't nerdy at all, but indie kids. And 2 of them are indeed pretty cute.
    Everyone from our band was there except my father and Baby Sister. And I totally didn't mind being the only female in our group.
    When Moon Pie's band was finished, he joined us and we all watched the headlining band from a roped-off section of the floor, behind the mixing board. The sound guy that night was a moron. He cranked the bass up to where it made wind blow from the speakers and the floor & chairs vibrate. Very unbalanced. Very unprofessional.  Tongue

Eventually, our group thinned out as brothers started heading home. So Lizard & I left as well.
    It was cool walking downtown again. I never feel like such a freak as I do back home.  Roll Eyes
    Lizard & I talked all the way back to his place, then gathered the gear that my father had left in the music room and loaded into the trunk of my car. I finally got to go home!

The next morning, my father got p!$$y with me for not bringing a bag of cords home from Lizard's place. For the record, neither Lizard nor I saw any such thing while we were loading up dad's gear. But my father made some sarcastic remark as he left for work that morning that he would pick up the rest since had the time.  Angry  And this is what I get for helping out. I didn't say it to his face, but his gear is not my responsibility and he should have gotten it all when we left practice on Tuesday. Oy.

Other Stuff: Last night, an incident with my buddy T threw me into a deep depression from which I still haven't fully recovered.  Cry  We're still friends...just not as good of friends as we thought. Freaking guys, I swear.  Angry

In other news, my relatives from WA have all arrived and we're all going to a rodeo where my father's band is playing tonight. Guess I'd better drag out my old Laredo's and see if they still fit.  Cool

Peace out.

Isn't that where I was at the beginning of the year?


I'm in the same boat. Over the past 2 months I'd done a few trims that put me very close where I started the year...ugh! Tongue
