Angel Spun, you'll need to save a couple hundred $$ if you want full, elaborate mehandi done.  Full meaning hands and feet.  It is awesome and better to have a henna artist do it.  Let us know if you ever get it done!  

Right on. I wasn't planning on getting anything professional (at least not just yet). I just marvel at the kind of designs that people on this site come up with.

Aye, Trisha!

We've got a winter storm coming-the winds are crazy and the barometric pressure started dropping yesterday which means I have a sinus headache. Arrgghh! Enough with the headaches already!!!

Got my bi-monthly scalp massage today and it decreased my head pain, well, until I had to go out into the wind. My head is covered in a bandana and my ends are braided so my hair is protected. I woulda brought my crochet beanie by CurlGirl if I'd known how windy it would be.

I am not sure I'm going to make it to bellydancing class tonight if the winds keep up.

The last shadows of my mehandi are all that remains...I'll wait a few more days until I do it again. I've got some premade henna from Henna Caravan and 3 henna pattern books on CD. I don't know if its 'cause spring is coming, but my creative juices are flowing!

Tomorrow is round 2 of 8 week Boot Camp fitness class. I'm kinda dreading it with this weather. Its supposed to rain Sunday. Our class is outside in a park, which is cool as long as the weather cooperates. I hope I don't have a headache tomorrow!!! I already know they're planning on making it really challenging since most of us who signed up took it last time.

I'm saving my deep treat for tomorrow, after my boot camp I'll need the super hot bath and recovery. I have lots of yummy sunflower oil in my hair now from this morning's scalp massage.

OH, MAN am I sore! My back is sore from bellydancing and the rest of me is sore from boot camp yesterday.

I counted:
72 pushups (knees down)
75 full situps
100 squats
and a bunch of other stuff, too.

Admittedly, I enjoyed it. I'm not dying or anything, and am really glad that I taught yoga today. We did forward folds and back bends and my back feels much better.

Hair is doing good-I got a genuine "You have such beautiful curly hair" compliment from one of my students on Thursday. It was so sweet and one of the first I've received at work. That was nice. I forgot to mention it with the sinus headaches I was having. We got rain today and lots of weird and creepy cloud formations. It was cold today, big drop from the 80's we were having.

The vernal equinox is almost here!

I'm feeling really frustrated today. I feel like nothing is where I want it to be. I almost want to throw in the towel.

I need a vacation and can't figure out how to make it happen right now. I hope I don't loose my mind and do something stupid.

My parents go back to MI tomorrow.

Perhaps when this moon passes things will get better. I need a hot bath and some bodywork.

I think my hormones are totally out of whack.

Blahh, thanks, Trisha. At the moment, the earliest I can get in to see the hormone specialist is June. I'm on the cancellation list, so hopefully I will get in sooner.

I got some more Devacurl products, I'm going to try her new deep conditioner. It doesn't require heat and if it works well with my hair it will be a great alternative to my Ouidad deep conditioner.

I'm trying out Devacurl gel and rejuvinating mist. Curls get droopy, 'ya know?!

I tried the new Devacurl deep conditioner today and at first try I like it. I also tried the gel and mist. I'm much more wavy than curly today, but it feels soft and not crunchy. I wasn't able to plop as long as I would have liked, so that makes a difference in my curliness. Verdict is out on the mist.

Been having issues with my back muscles being really sore... Tongue

Thanks, Curlgirl! I think part of my back sorness is coming from not sleeping with my guling. Its an Indonesian bolster type pillow that goes between the knees. After that occured to me, I went back to bed for a couple of hours and when I got up and even still hours later I feel much better. I haven't seen as much of hubby as I'd like so I got up with him this morning and made french press coffee and we had breakfast together.

I had a scalp massage today, and that always helps me feel good.

Absolutly, Curlgirl!!

I am getting a neuro-muscular therapy massage tomorrow after my yoga class. It will be interesting, one of the few types of body work I haven't experienced.

With all the rain we had this year, everything is blooming 100x more than ususal. I think I may have some new plant allergies with all this bloom. Makes exercising outside difficult and not fun!

I think the kitties have found a spider to play with-gotta go check to make sure its not one of the poisonous ones!

My measurement today is 22-3/4". It looks like I just grew 1/4" last month. Trying not to be bummed. I guess I could look at it like 1/4" closer to BSL!

I won on ebay!!! I've been getting items for my tribal bellydancing. Woohoo!

Today's bellydancing at the gym was really fun.

Hubby and I tried a new Italian restaurant - meh. Will try their pizza Margharita, but won't go for another dinner. Dessert was good, though.

Tomorrow I get my hormones checked. I hope relief is in sight!!!
