Satin sheets are fabulous and it doesn't take much to keep them in check. Just slide them right back where they belong.  Wink

On many vitamins, you'll notice a line in the center. This is where they are meant to be cut so you can take half during the day and half at night. These vitamins contain too many nutrients for your body to absorb all at once, so it's more effective if you cut them in two. Or so I hear.  Roll Eyes
    Also, I wouldn't accept Dr. Oz's word as the gospel since he's been dead wrong on occasion.

My duvet has a satin sheen to it, so at night my husband complains that I steal the covers, but really they slid off and when he grabs it and pulls it back up, he pulls the wrong side and in the morning I ahve to turn everything around! LOL
I don't watch or do anything he says religously, but this I decided to try.

Today I used the BB treatment in the shower after an acv rinse. I mixed the BB with some of my one condtion to make it more manageble. I rinsed it out, but I didn't use my no poo. I am starting to see that I won't have to use the no poo but maybe once or twice a week, just condition the ends everyday. Afterwards I put a few drops of oo on my palms and ran those through the ends of my hair, added gel and viola! My curls look fabulous!

Been in a bit of a cleaning mood. I took all the pillow protectors and matress protectors off and washed them, along with the kids' blankets. I might try to wash a comforter tomorrow and see if my washer will be able to handle it (I have a whirlpool duet, which says it will wash up to a queen sized comforter, but I don't know how well it will wash all the surfaces seeing as it is folded over itself). All I have to do is vacuumm and dust downstairs, clean showers, and put away laundry, repeat in a week! Yes I am a weekly house cleaner. From top to bottom! I should really do my touch-up painting seeing as I never did it after we moved in in December. I wanted to wait until I had everything the way I wanted so if I could do it all at once.
Anyway, off to bed I go!

Just going to condtion the ends today. I have to go pick up J's bike and return a few things, so I will be venturing into town later.
Next week is the fair, although I didn't save any money to go  Sad, and this will be our first year living up the street from the fairgrounds. I hope the noise isn't too loud, as the carnival is open until midnight. I also hope I have no problem with people parking in front of my driveway. The hassles I guess of living where we do!

Change of plans! I had to hurry and take the boys to the school and register them, so I just sparyed and went! It wasn't too bad, but I haven't looked in the mirror after being outside working in the yard. Grin
Went to get J's bike and it wasn't to be done until 3 p.m. I didn't have anything to do until then, so rather than going home and making another trip to town, I told them I would pick it up another day. Otherwise I have gotten in the rut of feeling I need to get everyhting done around the house, but I feel like there is too much to do.  Sad I made a list and stuck it to the fridge, maybe J will see it and do some of the tasks on there, except paint! He is not allowed anywhere near a brush! Roll Eyes School starts on September 2, I was feeling sad when I thought of my youngest going to preschool, but then I realized it's only 2 days a week and just in the mornings, so it's not as bad!

Today I put on condition on my ends, then used no poo on my scalp, and added a little more one condition to my ends before rinsing. I did oo on my ends (just slightly), leave in conditioner, and gel, along with moisture lock! Curls are behaving except for those ones like like to flip forward instead of lying correctly. I decided to get some biotin, as Target had 100 pills for $1.40. I figured for that price it couldn't hurt! Smiley Now I hope I can remember to take everything. Wink I should have looked into a pill sorter for A.M. and P.M. Sometimes I can't remember if I have  already taken my pills.  Huh

Picked up J's bike today. When we dropped it off the guy told me that a tune-up was $45 and that would take care of the missing bolt as well,a nd I asked him that several times. I paid almost $70! Shocked I was charged $45 for the tune-up, $15 to fix the front flat tire (I told them to use slime, and a bottle of that is at most $8), and $8 for the bolt! I tried explaining to the person that rang me up about what was said when I dropped it off (as they were two different people), but he just looked at me like I was an idiot! Angry I know the bile isn't an expensive one, and could probably come close to buying a new one after paying that bill! See if I ever go there again! I could have used that money to buy my oldest son a larger bike. His legs are too long for the 16" he has been riding around, and the seat and handlebars are up as far as they can go. That just makes me so mad, I already have trust issues, and things like this don't help. Undecided
We went to Costco today, and one of the smaple ladies was just plain rude to my boys, so I made it a point to tell my mom is just me was she kind of rude to the kids, within hearing distance. There kids lady, not to mention 3 active boys, get over it. I can;t make them walk around and be quiet and do everything right, unless I use shock collars and duck tape (sounds great for the husband at times though, "hunny I'm leaving for a meeting" ZAP "what was that? I didn't hear you?" "I am going to mow the lawn and wash the van for you".) LMAO If only  Roll Eyes

BIG fire close by my house. A big grain siloh, and nearby buildings containing other materials is on fire and the standby post is at the fire department just up the street from me. My MIL called me and told me that when those things catch on fire, they have a tendency to explode! Shocked I am listening to the scanner and they have people on the roof, etc.. My heart is racing, I don't know if my hubby is there or still at the rope rescue training. Undecided I hope everyone is safe. Sad

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers everyone.
It turns out that my husband was finishing up his Rope Rescue class when his pager went off for the fire. He was there and he was inside the siloh, and I am happy to say that he came home, as did everyone else. Smiley Although I'm not sure what time, I waited until midnight, and then I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. We had another Law Enforcement agency come in and set up the standby area, and they were talking about evacuating areas! J is there doing some investigation work to see if they can find out what caused the fire.

Hair Not sure if I am going to condition my ends today, or just spray with lavander mist. I have been taking a multi, 1200 mg fish oil, and 1000 mcg biotin. I take 1/2 multi, 1 fish oil softgel, and 1 biotin in the morning. Before dinner I take the other half of my multi and another softgel of fish oil. Then 3 hours after eating I take my prescribed meds and wait 30 minutes before lying down. I will give the fish oil 30 days and see how that is working before I decide about taking 2 softgels 2x a day.

Other I believe I will have to call Tuesday and tell the dermatologist I need to increase my meds to 2x a day. Sad My breakouts are still happening full force. J and I have to go pickup the new T-shirts for the QRU. Can't say I like them all that well, but that's what happens when you put guys in charge of ordering things like that and making decisions about logo style, etc..

Yesterday at the store they had samples of an organic pumpkin flax granola cereal. I was shocked when my boys tried it and liked it! So I bought some at a whopping $7 a box!  Shocked I figured it's better than the sugar cereals they have been eating, and I have been trying to buy organic when I can if the price isn't to much. Now if I can only get J to stop drinking pop and kool-aid, and start working out with me!

I just sprayed hair today, and added a little oo to ends, and pinned up my sides. my clips I won off ebay are here! I thought it would atke much longer seeing as they were coming from Hong Kong! They are heavier than I thought they would be. I can't wait to have longer hair so I can use them! My bonnet dreyer also finally came! I emailed the seller and aksed if it had already shipped a while ago, and I never recieved an answer back! It took almost three weeks to get and the description said 2-9 days! I haven't tried it yet because I have yet to get a deep conditioning treatment. I think I am going to try and avoid trims in a salon unless I start to see damaged ends. Even then it would have to be alot, that I couldn't take care of myself.
My weight issues really bothered me today. It's the first time I felt like shutting myself in and not going anywhere. Having shorter hair on my frame doesn't help either. Just another of my insecurities I have yet to deal with. I don't feel as big as I am, but when I look in the mirror I can see the weight I have gained! I need to find some exercises I can do that won't make my arthritis bad.

When you say oo, does that stand for olive oil?
Also, in exercises that are simple and fun, may I recommend Winsor Pilates? If you get the bun and thigh sculpting DVD and the ab sculpting DVD (both 15-20 minute workouts) you will be set.
Otherwise there is always Mari Winsor's book Smiley
Anyway love the stories in here hehe

OO does stand for olive oil.
I did try Winsor Pilates, unfortunately it was really hard on my legs. I have really bad osteoarthritis in my knees. I had to have my knee caps removed because they kept dislocating, and I still have problems with my legs going out from under me while I am walking. Sad It has been a little while, but the last time I wasn't far from my house any where my tibia/fibula meets my femur dislocated for a brief second, and thankfully came back together! Shocked I also managed to step on my ankle sideways! I think I need to join an exercise class for senior citizens, as I think many of those do low impact.
Thanks for suggesting it though. Smiley

Hair Conditioned my ends today. I actually left the one conditio in for 30 minutes under a shower cap. This time I left out the oo, not sure why, just didn't feel like putting it in. I noticed those hairs that don't like to conform with the rest of the curls, I call 'em fuzzies. Continiung the multi (1/2 @ a time), fish oil (1 2x day), and biotin (1/ daily in mornings w/ breakfast).

Skin is looking better. Been washing in mornings and nights w/ cetaphil facial cleanser. In mornings I use the sunblock, and at nights I use the regular lotion after my topical meds. I have some red marks left where a breakout used to be, and I usually heal fast from those. I guess I am really lucky that I really don't scar, but this round is worse, so I don't know how I'll fair from this.
Nothing exciting going on, just working. I'm trying to get the QRU ready for the fair next week.
