Hair: I decided to wash the entire length this morning even though I'm going to do so again tomorrow. Hair has had a strange, almost moldy, scent about it. Especially toward the ends.    So in an effort to get rid of this, I washed the entire length, conditioned twice and used warmish water the entire time.
   No, I don't think that my hair is actually growing mold. lol It's probably just the scent of my leave-in crème turning over time...or something.  
   Hair was also gummy-feeling today and difficult to comb through when dry, so I used a little corn oil, especially on the ends, and braided it. Fini.

Other: The manager of the Fire division at work reserved the conference room next to my office for a meeting this afternoon. If it involves his employees, they will all (including my crush) pass by my office. The problem? I have the morning shift today and will be gone by the time the meeting takes place.    This is my luck in a nutshell.
   Oh well. I look like crap today anyway.  

In other news, tomorrow's payday!!!  

Curlgirl & Lisabelle: Oh, I did.    But more on that later.

Hair: Just simple, basic CWC routines over the weekend. The roots have been extra greasy when I wake up for some reason. I am not myself until I've had my shower!

The drummer of Silver Side seems to like my hair.    Friday night, he remarked upon its softness & lightness. He also told me that he loves redheads...and I said that that was funny, considering I'm a brunette.    My hair does have a definite reddish tint to it (Celtic heritage), so he's at least partially on the mark. 

Friday Night: Man, I can't even put it to words. Just awesome and everything that I never could have expected. I met my crush at his apartment and he drove us to the bar. We hung out in the area for awhile and I got to meet the guys in the band that we were there to see. Just before the first band went on, I paid for our tickets (girl power!) and my crush felt totally emasculted    so I let him buy me a Shirley Temple. Ha.
    Then, we claimed a red velvet couch in the back of the bar and cracked jokes about the first 2 bands, which were rather terrible. I felt like we were the 2 old heckler dudes from the Muppets. lol
    People were always coming by and saying hi to my crush (he's something of a local celeb, much like my father) and most of them said hi to me as well since I was with him. And he would get up for a few minutes to talk to people that he knew, but always came back to me. We spent most of the time like that, just hanging out and heckling. About halfway through the 2nd band's show, some people came and invaded our couch. They were friends, so we hung with them a bit, but my crush wanted to be alone with me.    And there just happened to be another red velvet couch available against a different back wall. 
    Foil, the main band that we'd come to see, was quite good. Not as tight as Silver Side, of course...but good. Both bands are fans/supporters/friendly rivals of each other, as my crush explained to me, so they attend each other's shows. Good stuff.
    After they left the stage, we made our exit, not sticking around for the last band. My beloved co-worker was quite tired and it must have been past midnight. So we went back to his apartment...holding hands the entire way.
    Once there, he told me that he'd been crushing on me just as long as I'd been crushing on him.    From the moment we met...over a month ago, when he came into my office to check the fire extinguisher. I was still dating K at the time, but this beautiful new stranger appealed to me in more ways than one. Now, I was in his arms and not K's. As for the rest, well...ladies never kiss and tell. 
    It was just after 3 am when I got home, and I slept for a whopping 3 hours. 

The Rest: Yesterday, I had a horrible experience at Panera and have decided never to return. I waited a full [censored]ing hour for my order and it never came.    So I spoke (as politely as I could under the circumstances) with the manager and got a refund. Their crappy service has cost them a customer for life! Screw them.
    Disgusted, I went to my favorite shopping center, had lunch (at Boudin, which is so much better and less expensive!) and then went to Macy's in search of silver ball earrings. I got a set of 3 pairs in different sizes so I'll have something to replace the hoops that are in my ears now when it's time to take them out. 3 simple silver balls in each ear...I think that will be a nice look. 

As of today, I haven't heard from my lovely musical crush. I tried calling him this morning, but I think his phone is dead.    Hopefully, he'll come to my office tomorrow. I have a plan to really mess with him. 

Anyway, 'tis time for lunch once again. I just might go back to Boudin.    Ciao!

Jerry: Hope you like them! I'd love to be able to tell the drummer that he's got a fan all the way up in Montana!  

Curlgirl & Lisabelle:

Trish: tee hee, Mom. Oh how I wish that you could just see his eyes or stand in his "aura" for a few minutes. He's so much hotter than any picture can convey.    Most definitely "dee-vine."

La Diosa: It wasn't a date, but it was an awesome night.    Sadly, I don't think that I'm 100% over K yet...but this lovely new friend is certainly helping with that.  
   And Shirley Temples are easy to make. They're just grenadine & ginger ale. If you don't have ginger ale, you can use 7-Up...or cherry 7-Up. Top with as many maraschino cherries as you want!  

Hair: Did the clarifying routine today. Washed with Purity shampoo, did a white vinegar rinse, washed again with Purity shampoo, then left Breakage Defense conditioner in the length while finishing the rest of my shower. Hair feels a bit stripped, but at least the grease is gone!
   Still in desperate need of a trim. I should call my Scissor Lady soon.

Other: A certain musical co-worker dropped by my office today, as I'd figured he would. I greeted him with a quirky, comical "how dare you not call me?" glare at which he smiled and offered an apology/explanation. His phone had indeed been dead as I'd predicted and he had left its charger at work. But I only smirked, "You think that's the first time I've ever heard that one?" I mean really, how many men have pulled out the "my phone was dead" line?    lol I couldn't resist.
   He went on, but I stood up, hugged him and let him know that I was just teasing. I think he was fully aware of the fact anyway.
   Then he showed me the new phone that he'd gotten on Saturday...and gave me his new number.    So yeah, we're cool...except that he signed up with Cricket who screwed me out of $300 last year. They'd better hope that he has better luck with them than I did...or Angel might have to pound some [censored].    

Anyway, it's time to start closing up shop here. 'Night, everyone!

Jerry: Rock on, dude. I told the drummer that the band now has a fan in Montana and his response was, "Right on...Guess we have to tour there now, hehe."
    But seriously, I'm glad that you liked them enough to order the CD. Thanx for helping Silver Side go national. 

Hair: CWC, no leave-in's. Hair is 100% dried now and I'll oil & braid it during my break. I guess one way to get rid of oil that has expired is to use it in your hair. Such is the case with my corn oil.

Life: Ugh...draggin'. Tired today. It was a busy morning and I feel like a slug. 

Work: A co-worker got me a small smoothie from the Robeks down the street. 
    I've been drowning in leases since my arrival this afternoon and being as tired as I am doesn't help them get organized any faster.
    Lost all concentration when my crush stopped by. His cool blue eyes made me forget about everything else for a moment. And I blushed like crazy when he spoke...
