So I can tell my hair is becoming longer cause my curls are "looser" if that make sense!?! It has reacted really well to my devacare products. If I would have known about this stuff a long time ago my hair would probably be at my goal by now Smiley Smiley Smiley! Even my hubby commented on how hydrated my hair looked! Smiley

First No Wash Day


So I didn't wash, just sprayed with lavender mist, added a little more gel, and went on with my day. It wasn't too bad until this afternoon when I took a bit of a nap, then it became really frizzy. I tried to twist my sides back and then connect them in the back, but not having long enough hair to really do anything with I am lacking in anything that would join them together and look good. I'll have to practice as my twist isn't holding very well. At least it is something that I can do, so I don't feel entirely hopeless with my hair! Can anyone reccommend a site for hair toys?
Dermatologist gave me a new pill (can't think of the name) and clindomicyn (sp?). He said the pill might not work because it is summer and it might make me too photosensitive, and the cream might irritate my sensitive skin. He did ask if I was done having kids, so he could consider some different options later. I have a follow up in November. The reason he gave for the old stuff not working is I probably just built up a resistance. Story of my life! I told him it seem to have gotten worse with age because I know it was never this bad in High School. My dad suffered from acne until his late 40's so I suppose I am doomed.
I ordered some black satin sheets today, and can't wait to sleep on them, as I am loving my pillowcases. We have a lovely Red Flag warning that was paged yesterday and in effect until Friday for thunder showers. I hope it rains, but I hate the mugginess the cloud coverage brings. I am one of those people that feel like they are suffocating whenever I am in green house! Thinking about working out to lose some weight, I jsut want hubby to do it with me. I have been walking, although not far for the fear of falling with only my kids with me. In-Laws are gonna let my husband and I use their bicycles to go on rides with the kids, so I am thinking of riding nightly by myself for awhile after hubby gets home in the evenings. I used to ride bikes for hours when I was younger,  and for quite some distance

Let me know how you like those sheets I'm contemplating them for myself when I get a new bed. Biking is great exercise! I hope it works for you, I think I last rode a bike when I was... 10/11 I don't even have a bike ha ha.

Oiling


HAIR: So I bought one of those tubes that you let sit in hot water, then apply to your hair. My hair did not like it at all  Angry. It wasn't soft, and looked dry. My hair has been behaving odd lately. I don't know if it is because of growth or just being stubborn, but my "bangs" don't like to go with the flow. Sad I plan on using the Burts Bees Avocado butter today to see if I can get my hair to do what the oil didn't. Needless to say I won't be using that oil again!

OTHER: The Police Department's new car came yesterday, and my husband is the one that wires in the radios and stuff. They got a 2006 Dodge Charger. We were outside working in the trunk, and my husband takes a wrench to undo something and his gold wedding ring touched the battery an the wrench touches something metal, and sparks flew!  Shocked His ring is in need of some gold filling, as it melted two small spots on it. His finger looks horrible! At first it was just red, but then it started to blister, and I mean his poor finger is pretty much just a huge blister on the lower part.  Sad Now he gets to walk around without a wedding band on, I can hear the rumors of our small town now! Angry One person thought that because my husband eats breakfast at his Mother's house the days he works, we must be getting a divorce! No, he has eaten there since he started working here 8 years ago! Roll Eyes He does it as a courtesy for me and the kids. He has to go to work at 5 a.m. and I like to sleep, and he doesn't want to wake the boys up by staying home and making a bunch of noise, so he goes to his Mom's.
I haven't seen any problem with the pills the Dermatologist gave me, but the cream! After using it my face burns and itches like crazy! Embarrassed I don't think this was the same stuff I had tried before. I will be calling him on Monday to let him know about the problem I have encountered.
I have been talking to an old friend. We used to be really close 6 years ago, but she moved away and her life went down a path of bad choices. It seems strange to be talking with her now. I have changed alot, and I don't know, things just seem odd. Probably because after she left I really never got close, like I was to her, to another person. My husband encourages me to talk to her because it would give me someone to do things with, and he wouldn't have to do them with me. I want to go out and so things with someone, but we both have three boys, and I usually don't take my boys with me shopping or anything because I can get it done faster, and quieter without them. My Mom or his usually watches them for me, and they don't mind becasue they know I am home with them ALL the time and need a break. Too bad my break is grocery shopping! Smiley The term working mother is redundant!

Pure lavender essential oil is very healing for burns.  If he doesn't have any punctures, you could try this.  I've used it on burns and my skin never scarred.

Sorry about your owie skin!

I have 3 cats, no kids.  I can't imagine having kids, I'm too selfish!!!

I like to do acv rinses before I do a deep conditioning, no matter what type.  I feel like it really makes a difference w/the penetration.  Do you have hard water?

Thanks for the tip on lavender eo Sakina! I have some so I'll have to try this on him as he doesn't have any punctures, just one BIG blister that we have been debating to pop or not. We were taught that blisters are an aid against infection, etc.. in our first responder training, but others say to pop it. We'll see.

We have very hard water where we live, but I have a water softner. I'll have to try the acv rinse before next time.

I used to use those hot oil treatments before. I never thought they made any difference in my hair so I stopped luckily I've found the avocado butter, seems to be the only one my hair likes, haven't been using it though because I'll be changing shampoo and conditioner and want to see how well they work. Nothing weirder then oil making hair dry.  Huh

Yikes! Your husbands finger sounds painful I hope the lavender eo works for him blisters from shoes hurt enough I can't imagine how much that must hurt.

It's hard to get close again to people you haven't seen in years. They change you change. I suppose it can be done. I was like that with my cousin, then she moved away and we didn't talk for like five years or so, then when I saw her again, it didn't feel the same at all. Like we had both changed too much. And even though she wanted to get close again because she was moving back up this way I never pursued it because I felt we had just become too different. I suppose it is possible to rekindle a friendship, especially if you still have things in common. I know what's it's like to not have anyone to do things with, all my friends abandoned me when they went to college. None of them have kept in touch even though I did contact them before. That stunk but I coped. Can't miss it too much we never did anything because there wasn't anything to do out here.  Tongue Oh well maybe it'll work better for you.  Smiley

Thanks Tanai.

I did the avocado butter, MUCH better! My hair is soft and back to normal! Smiley

As for the friend issue, she just left, and I don't know. Having all my friends leave has kinda made me doubt people. I don't really know how I come across to her because most of my company has been guys my husband knows. I guess only time will tell.

Me to, but I have to say I am grossed out my the huge blister that wraps around his finger! I guess there is no hurry in fixing his ring, I don't think he'll be able to wear it comfortably unitl his finger is fully healed. Cry

Hair: I found come cute little clips on ebay, well I am not exactly sure if they'll work in my hair as of yet. They are from Hong Kong, and I haven't seen anything like them here.
...
...
Anyway, I am gonna do my usual wash today.

Other: Woke up last night not feeling well at all. Now this morning I have a headache already, and the boys fighting doesn't help! Shocked I have to remember to call the
Dermatologist as I cannot stand the cream any longer. That's it for today, nothing spectacular.

Ooh, those clips are pretty.  Smiley

Sorry to hear of your husband's accident. Thank goodness it wasn't worse!

My father's gone through so many wedding rings...  Grin  They've been smashed, sliced off, you name it, but I don't think they've ever been melted. That's a first...

Ok, I have to rant. Yesterday I found out that someone my husband works with called me a b****! Well, I get along with everyone else, except him. The reason being that his wife cried on my shoulder when he cheated on her, more than once! I have no respect for men that go back to try and work things out, and then get caught in a hotel room with the same girl, and he says nothing happened.  Angry That's a load of crap!!!! He should have severed all ties with that woman when he went back to his wife. Now I have seen what he has dated, and what kind if lives they lead, and in his profession, he shoudn't be with them. Not to mention he brought one of them to our office Christmas Party, even though the department was dealing on a cse with her! What a LOSER! Then he has the nerve to go out in public on duty and call me that!?! I have the right not to like him, and he does me, but to say that to someone while he is working is unethical to say the least. He whines about everything! My husband wired his car, but he wanted to do it himself, even though he has no idea of what to do, because my husband was doing it at our house and all the guys were coming over to hang out, except him, which by the way no one told him he couldn't. I don't understand how someone can find this man cute, I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole, for fear of catching something ajax couldn't kill!  Grin I think he finds me threatening because 1. I don't find him attractive and 2. I think for myself, and not how my husband thinks.
The next time I see this jerk and he says hi to me I should say b****es don't say hi to a**h****! That should make his jaw drop!
