Thank you, BB. I heard today that all her preliminary work ups and test are good so she's set for Wednesday afternoon surgery.

Tomorrow's the big day, trying out the Ouidad carve & slice certified stylist in Scottsdale. I managed to find a few reviews of this guy and they were all positive...fingers crossed!!

Allergies been buggin me-high winds and blowing dust gives me sinus headaches. Tongue

Workouts still going strong, buffing up is visable. Yay! Haven't been eating enough...almost passed out this morning. High reps=high energy output!!!

I bought my first pair of low rise jeans this weekend. Love them!! Sure makes my navel piercing more comfortable!!! Will wear them on the plane to MI.

Temps are well below normal which will feel frigid to you. What part of MI are you visiting?

I'll be in Hastings, MI. It is a small town, at least 30 mins. from anywhere civilized.

Well, the deed is done. I'm not sure how I feel about this new haircut. I did get a few tips for applying gel that I will be using, but as for the rest...nah. He dried the crap out of my hair so it shrunk up a lot. I think I actually lost around an inch of length, which looks like 3 inches now that its dry. It doesn't look that different from when I do it my way so I may be back to the Curly Girl haircut. Suprise, guess I know what I'm doing when it comes to my hair! I won't be getting a trim for another 3-4 months anyway. It did "debulk" the back of my hair, which will be nice in the heat of summer but I think I'm going to have lots of pokey outy bits. If I do, I will not be very happy. The stylist says I have fine hair. I thought it was medium. Still have lots of it, though.

We've had the most gorgeous thunderhead clouds all day today. The winds are high-which means I have another headache. Still waiting for it to actually rain.

Thanks, Trisha!!! I need to work on trusting myself.

I'm going to remember what you said, that's a great comparison. Thank you for that.

I need to be clear as to what I want in regards to my hair. Yes, I want it long. I want it to look its best, which requires a different approach than straight hair in regard to shape and taking into account my unique head of hair. So, perhaps I really did get what I want and at the same time wish what I needed is something else. Hmmmm.

*Ahem* and I'm not really happy about paying $100 for a haircut, even if it is in Scottsdale, AZ and had Ouidad's name on it.

Although, I do like that he cut the nape of the neck hairs 1/2" shorter than the rest because that hair has almost no wave and when I wear it down and curly, those straighter hairs show at the bottom of my curls. It looks strange, and I didn't know what to do with them so I might tell the next person to do the same as it eliminates the problem without too much cutting. Silly hair.

My mom's surgery went OK, sounds like they found more cancer than expected but they think they got it all. I haven't heard any more yet.

Washed my hair last night, not very happy with how it looks. While it was drying it looked like he missed a section. Feeling worried I'm going to have to wear my hair up for the next 3 months.

I was able to wear a large Ficcarre clip all day yesterday, which I wouldn't be able to do if I hadn't had the bulk taken out of the back. Oh, and one small section in front is at least 1/2" shorter than the rest so now I have to be careful to get my hair gathered in just the right spot or it falls out and into my face. Gggggrrrrrr.

Of course, the tone of this post might be coming from my being up at 5:30AM. A.M.
Thank goodness this is the last day I'm subbing this early.

Will she be receiving any chemo or radiation treatments? You guys are all morning wimps! I'm on bike on the way to work by 5:15am! (Just don't ask me to be too alert at 11pm!)

I used to be but not since I have been working 6am - 2pm pretty much every week day Roll Eyes

I even get up early on Saturday and Sundays most of the time.

But, the older I am getting the earlier I seem to go to bed at night Tongue

OK, so I'm an early morning wimp. I'm also a late night/wee hours TIGRESS!!

I have in the past had jobs that required me to be up early. Not my favorite thing, I guess the money made me do it.

We won't know if mom needs chemo or radiaton for about a week. I finally got to speak to my sister and dad yesterday. The nurses say my mom is doing as expected for this type of surgery. She's sleeping a lot which is good for healing. Probably today or tomorrow they'll be getting her moving to get the anesthesia crap out of her lungs. She has sat up already but briefly. Not eating much yet-jello and some water. I can't wait to talk to her, probably tomorrow.

OK, I'm officially pi$$ed off about my new haircut. While its nice not to have so much weight of my hair, all of my hairstyles except wearing it down now have pokey outey bits. Lots of them. I don't even like how it looks down now because I don't dry it with a hairdryer. Angry

I'm glad, however, that I took a risk and now have satisfied my curiosity of the Ouidad haircut. It is not for me. I think its better for really curly hair. Now my hairstyles will require more thought and work to make them look good. I hate making more work for myself!!! I've decided to buy myself a cowboy hat. I think hats will be my solution this summer, I can pull back the top half and away I go. I'm feeling frustrated by the result of my haircut. To some degree, I wish my hair was straight, so that part wasn't so difficult to get right. I want my hair to look good, and a good cut is hard to get. Guess I'll be back in Tuscon in 3 months.

I basically haven't let anyone near me with scissors for more than a year because I was so unhappy with my last haircut! Hopefully when it grows a bit it'll start to look alright. Becuase really more work=annoying.

It is important to get trims to keep the ends from tangling and if the hair is split, that spit will go up the shaft and cause more damage. Of course, s & d helps keep the split population down. I'm sure it doesn't look so horrible to anyone else but me.
