I Have A Brain Like A Sieve

Before I forget any longer...

Thursday, yes last Thursday. I told you it's like a sieve.  Was my monthly weigh in time. Back down to 118lbs.  Better news though was lost another 1/4" from my waist!  I think I'm starting to have a discernible waist and actual hips. 

Over the weekend my father finally manged to figure out how to put the dryer back together. Hallelujah for fluffy towels! 

Yesterday was wash day just shampoo, conditioner, comb out and air dry. Hair only needs a spritz of MM when the air's dry, like it's been. Going back to brushing to detangle my hair has been great. It's back to having that incredibly soft feeling it used to have. 

Possible storm Saturday night/Sunday morning, we shall see about it's impact... but hey rain tomorrow.

...thanks... hey I can only make my weight go as low as it will, me muscles weigh a lot but take up less space. I consider it best to ignore the number and consider size and shape. 

Hair was done in a flipped ponytail with braided end. So going to invest in one of those flippy tools. Was exceedingly windy this morning, and fairly warm in the low 60's. I got home just as the rain started to fall.  Total bummer. Wind has died down and now there's a nice steady rain. Looks like it won't be much of a storm over the weekend. Figures.

A Snowstorm At Last!

I've had those moments.

We have both Claire's and Icing.

For this time of year 60's are very above average our highs are supposed to be in the mid 40's.

We finally finally finally got our big snowstorm!   There's about a foot of snow out there, with blowing winds and near white out conditions at times. I just learned this is the biggest snow we've had since 2003. I cannot wait to go out in it!

Saturday was wash day with my lovely new low maintenance routine.

Hair was worn again in a flipped ponytail braided on Sunday as I had to wear a hat.

Plan A has fallen through, who knew horses has MRSA? Well have no fear because on Friday Plan B fell into my lap.   The odds are about the same, but I have hope, there's no life with out hope so I will continue to hope for the best because I don't really function well otherwise.

Now It's Warm

Yes our 14" of snow has melted, and it's now 70° outside.  It got a little too warm too fast and it almost feels hot.  Well when you go from 25° on Tuesday to 70° five short days later it is a little much.

So due to time constraints I only washed my hair once this week. It felt dirty yesterday.  Ah well not like I have pretenses to keep up at the moment.  But yes wash condition, with some MM because it has been D-R-Y.  Hair was worn in a simple ponytail today. I need hair pins. 

Ironically enough I purchased a pair of flats that I wanted several months ago, but couldn't find in the store, for $5 clearance.  My question is where were they before? But I'm not one to knock a discount. 

Wash Day

Wash day yesterday. Nothing out of the ordinary. Haven't used a leave in other than MM in a while. Don't have time, and they don't make any difference.  So hair was practically uncontrollable today.  So I just wrestled it into a braid and happily forgot about it. Totally can't wait to get a new shampoo or conditioner in the next month or two. Hydrating my @$$. 

The other day I was twisting my hair up into one of my giant jaw clips. I adjusted it and heard a crack.  It broke.  Now I shall have to go to Dollar Tree and get another one.  Their hair safe their a $1, yeah, win win.  I'm just surprised it broke like that though. 

Weekend Style

Unfortunately I don't have richer conditioner at the moment, can't buy any and the leave ins that I do have lying around suck.  Oh well I guess I can only hope for higher humidity and a dew point above 2°.  Spring humidity would certainly help.

Of course, I think it's relative to what you're purchasing. I mean getting cheap appliances or electronics will equate to junk without question. However there's no justification for $200 jeans when a $20-$40 pair will hold up just as well. Given that I paid only $1 for them I'm surprised they made it this long, so they were probably worth it. This has been Tanai's "Is It Worth It 101" Lesson for the day. 

Wore hair in a braided loop secured with a purple jaw clip, and accented with my lone (they were a pair) purple and rhinestone butterfly mini clamp. I'll find it when I clean my room... along with anything else that has gone missing  ...which will probably happen when we move. 

It's been freaking cold the past few nights with the low making it to 16° the other night. I'm not a fan of warm weather but even I get tired of being cold. That and I'm just sick of the flyaways. Bring on the frizzys! 

Wash Day Trivia

Quote:

You have the sticks in Socal?   Hunnay I'm in the sticks, it took us until 2005 to get a pizza joint, we just recently got a gas station and will be getting a CVS.     When my parents moved here there was only a small general store and one traffic light past the tiny post office. Ask me about the size of my graduating class and you may just faint.  
My hair hates oil, I'm low on lotion, and dryer sheets can't combat the static of all my hair. 

So how do you know you've gotten the driest air of the season? When the dewpoint drops to 1°, the humidity 21%, you can now clearly grasp SoCalian dryness, and your hair craved a ton of conditioner last night.   Oh and my nose has been bleeding, and my hair, after spraying it with a heavier batch of MM that I whipped up (the same conditioner but the new one seems slightly less watery  ) and two minutes after brushing it in order it manged to puff and knot itself up into a mess.   Another application of MM and a struggle to get the brush through my hair, I hastily braided it and have gratefully forgotten about it.  

Bring on the rain!
