That'll work, I've never been to Disney world either.

Neither have I. Mostly because it's on the opposite coast. Roll Eyes

First I'm a chicken and now I'm a goose? Huh

I'm just "fowling" everything up. Grin

Sorry bad pun, couldn't help it. Roll Eyes

Wah waaahhh.... Grin

That was precisely what I tried today when I did my nails. So we'll see how three coats hold up.

Threee might work. Or you could add a coat every day like the pros recommend. But who has time for that? Undecided

Catch Up

Of course dahling. Wink

So catching up Thursday was wash day, with nothing to report there. Friday I wore my hair in a braid. Tongue

Dullsville. Roll Eyes

Got some more shampoo and conditioner in the stuff my hair likes. Cool

Saw some stuff I can't afford. Roll Eyes

Bought some moisturizer. Will be getting mousse, seeing as I now have chronic "pancake" head. Tongue

Saturday I just tied my hair in a low ponytail and stuffed it under my denim newsboy hat, it was windy and rainy, and I wasn't going anywhere particularly nice. Roll Eyes

Came home and made a chocolate cheesecake which turned out to be a lousy recipe. Tongue

Easter was basically Christmas again. Same outfit, same hairstyle. Except it was colder and way windy. Shocked

I was freezing, my clothes were thin and the wind was really cold. Though I did manage to smirk at the dumb teenage girls who wore spring dresses and no coats. Roll Eyes

It's been freaking cold for far too long. At least we're expecting a warm up by Friday. Cool

Hey I want my allergies, I'm sick of my sinuses. Tongue

That and freezing my @$$ off. Grin

Wash Day

So yesterday was my first wash day with my "new" (read: old, that my hair used to love but I foolishly got away from and have finally realized to come back to. Roll Eyes

) shampoos and conditioners. I'm using two, one for body and one moisturizing. My hair is already a lot better. Cool

I even whipped up a MM with the two conditioners so the fragrance would match, that and they other one didn't actually work. Roll Eyes

Speaking of fragrance, combining the two my hair smells like strawberry champagne. Shocked

It's incredible and delicious even if they weren't working I'd keep using them just for the fragrance. Grin

Also I'm quitting the biotin. I can't stand the overly thick poofy mass my hair has become since I started using it. I'm even beginning to believe conditioners have trouble penetrating it all. Tongue

So growth rates be damned, they were never consistent anyways. Roll Eyes

I'm wholeheartedly looking forward to controllable hair in a month or two. Cool

Wash Day, Stupidity, and A First

So after my wash day on Monday, I being a complete moron. Grin

Tried, again, to use the natural (insert V8 had bonk here) root boost I had lying around. *Dodges incoming bonks* Cheesy

Yes of course I knew I shouldn't have bothered, and of course it didn't work. Roll Eyes

Just made my hair greasy and gunky. Tongue

Yesterday wash all the gunk out. Cool

Hair is looking better. Feels softer, still dry, due to low humidity and too much density I think. Tongue

However it smells wonderfully like strawberry champagne so really I'll deal with minor "issues." Roll Eyes

Today's style was a Dutch braid.

Bought some mousse today. Should work it was the same stuff I used to use awhile ago, before I became as exceedingly lazy as I am today. Roll Eyes

It's freaking beautiful out there today it's about 70° and tomorrow is supposed to be in the low 70's. Cool

Then we cool down to the upper 50's and get some rain. Cool

Finally spring weather I can enjoy. Wink

I got my first hair compliment today. I was honestly wondering how long it would have to grow before someone took notice of the fact that it's longer than most and is of a color that actually occurs in nature. Grin

A lady behind us in the checkout asked me if I braided my own hair or did my mother do it. I told her I did. She couldn't believe that I could get it so neat on the back of my own head. And she said I had beautiful hair.

Sexy, sweetie. Wink

Which shampoo are you using for that?? Cheesy

Congrats on your first hair compliment! Pretty sweet, isn't it? Cool

And how awesome that you cat Dutch braid your own hair! I'm still trying to work up the gall to attempt a French braid on myself...which should be an epic (though comedic) failure. Roll Eyes

Believe it or not the only line my hair likes is Vo5. Roll Eyes

Combining their Extra Body and the Moisture Milk Strawberries 'N Cream makes that wonderful fragrance. Cheesy

And my hair's improving already. Cool

Yes my hair is classless I know. Roll Eyes

Practice, and good instructions are key. Wink

That and knowing when to give a rest, before you want to rip your hair out. Grin

Sometimes quite true. Wink

Righto then. Hair was simply in a braid on Sunday with my crystal butterfly barrette. Le sigh. Roll Eyes

Yesterday was wash day. Hair continues to improve with each wash. Cheesy

It was freaking cold, windy and rainy yesterday. Shocked

So after freezing one's "assets" off it was hot chocolate and a blanket for me. Grin

Today will be in the 60's tomorrow more showers then we hit the 80's over the weekend. We're having spastic weather with a time delay. Grin

Three coats of nail strengthener have done nothing. Tongue

Nails insist on peeling and breaking as the stuff insists on wearing off. Tongue

Oh well at least I know not to waste my time with it anymore. Roll Eyes

I think we have deranged wildlife at our house. There's been this cardinal that's been attacking a window for the past week. Huh

It sees it's reflection and thinks it's another bird. It goes away but always comes back for more. Roll Eyes

Reminds me of the squirrel we had a few years ago who did barrel rolls in the first snow then head butted a maple tree. Huh

I think there's something in the water out here. Grin

Reading this, I couldn't help but be reminded of a hummingbird that was attacking my father over the weekend while he was trying to fix one of the fountains in our backyard. Grin

MY water! MINE! Grin

So I heard. Tongue

After today's supposed showers we'll be getting our taste of summer as it will stay in the mid 80's through at least early next week. Tongue

Luckily we won't make 90° this April. We did in 2002, 96° to be exact. The only difference between that here and in SoCal is yours is a dry heat, the humidity was like 85%. Tongue

And I had to be out in it for Freshman Bio class. Tongue

Still it will be too warm too fast just the same. I mean it was 44° Monday and by Saturday it'll be 86°. We never get Spring anymore, we just go directly into Summer. Tongue

I had heard tale of it. Grin

Thursday, wash day, hair continues to improve. Still needs MM though.

On Friday I wore my hair in a mid ponytail with the length half braided and a section wrapped around the hair ties. Went in search of a hair product that I still can't locate. Tongue

I've got three more places yet to check so hopefully I'll be able to find it. Went shopping for shorts, came home with a tank top and lingerie. Huh

Yeah not sure how it happened myself. Cheesy

Today's style was a braided bun held up by my lone pair of hair sticks. Today I found hair pins! Shocked

*does a happy dance* Finally I have hair pins! My hair is now currently being held up successfully by them in a cinnamon bun as we speak. Cool

All my nails have been cut back seeing as half of them have wound up broken. Tongue

The summer weather is here, yesterday it was 88° today looks as though it may hit 90° and tomorrow and Tuesday are supposed be hot as well. It hasn't been this hot here at this time in 7yrs. Tongue

Looking forward to showers on Wednesday, hopefully sans thunderstorms and any potential dangers they may bring. Tongue

One Quick Installment

Alright, wash day was yesterday. Nothing really to say on that front.

Alas and alack, we hit 90° yesterday. Angry

However we've been trying SoCalianesque heat as our humidity has yet to be above 35%. Although there is a chance of thunderstorms this evening. Tongue

So since the air is exceedingly dry, my hair is exceedingly flyaway and poofy. Tongue

However a product purchase on Friday should render the situation. Cool

...That bird is still banging the window... he's (like it could be otherwise Grin

) been at it for about two weeks... Huh

... the room where the computer is located is right above the window it attacks so if the window's open that's all I keep hearing. Roll Eyes

Sheesh!

So this week is Derby week. If you live in this country and have no idea what I'm talking about I suggest staying far away from me because I'm not only speechless but getting ready to throw something at your head. Grin

Needless to say I shall be very busy, so this will be my last posting on here until Sunday. Wish me luck, I need to make some money! Wink

Time To Play Catchup

I'm not sure there were any too be found. Undecided

Or don't worry I would've. Wink

So Thursday was wash day. Nothing to mention there.
Friday was one of those day when you know you should've stayed in bed and tried again tomorrow. Tongue

It was an exceedingly annoying day. Angry

Attempted to wear hair in a Chinese bun. Hair refused to cooperate. Angry

I got angry at it and at my sad pathetic little purse brush. Angry

Settled on a braid which wouldn't cooperate either. Angry

Couldn't find decent shorts anywhere. Angry

I refuse to be a hoochie. Grin

Found a pair of sneakers for the rain finally.

Felt considerably annoyed and grouchy about the stupidity of others in general. Grin

Went on a hair rampage and bought a cream I was looking for, a deep treatment, a styling product, and a new no static brush, which works great btw. Cheesy

Bought heel liners for new sneakers as I got a blister, they won't stick. Angry

Spent the whole day feeling like . I'm sure there's more I forgot. Tongue

Yesterday was the aforementioned day. I hit nothing. Tongue

My mother however picked the derby winner. Cool

So yes still an infinitely better day then Friday.

Today it's raining and cool. Cool

Finally found a pair of decent shorts, and a pair of spring pumps for the aforementioned rain. Cool

The mousse doesn't look like it gets rid of my pancake head Huh

but it helps with the haven't been washed greaseies. Cool

The new styling product works pretty well, my hair twisted into a bun quite quickly and easily. However I am incapable of keeping it in a bun at my nape, no matter what kind of pins I have in. Tongue
