Nope. I've been around musicians my entire life - I know what they're like. And I have way too much experience with them to believe that yours is any different. Roll Eyes Sorry, hon.

I never go for guys sight unseen... that and I'm probably the pickiest b!tc# in this world and compared said musician guy very few will manage to meet my standards. Roll Eyes Grin I'm nuts I know. Cheesy

Not at all. In fact, my friend is exactly the same way. Roll Eyes

Roll Eyes Sure Angel just make me feel even better about weighing more than you. LOL Grin Roll Eyes

Anytime. Wink Grin

You're right, that did happen 2 weeks in a row.  Too bad they couldn't switch partners.

Or pick better friends. Roll Eyes

Quote:
At 114 lbs??? ...Um okay, Angel. Roll Eyes lol!

Yup, at 114 lbs. My comfort zone is between 105-110.

Hair: The usual Friday WTC. Today's treatment was Pantene's Nourishing mask. Of course, I was in a blind, mad rush to get to work on time and forgot to grab a hairtie on my way out. So, no braid today. Angry

Other Stuff: RAIN!! Cheesy Rain in SoCal! Cheesy I went for a power walk in it last night and got pretty soaked. It was great! Cheesy I found out why all of the emo kids find it so natural to cry in the rain. Not that I did, mind you...but I understand why they do. Roll Eyes
   It's supposed to stick around all weekend too...which means Disneyland in the rain! Cheesy

Yep, my little sister's 25 now. Shocked God, I feel old. ... I was 25 when I joined LongLocks for heaven's sake!
Anyway, she wanted to go to Disneyland to celebrate, so she & her bf & the 'rents are heading up there tonight. I'm driving up tomorrow morning since I have to work the latest. And my friend T is meeting me there. Should be most excellent. I've not been to Disneyland in over a year, which is practically sacrilege where I live. Shocked
   
The planning part was pretty fun too. Going through my closet and jewelry armoire, picking out exactly what I was going to wear, thinking of how to do my hair & makeup. Calculating just how much the day will cost me and how much $$$ I can save. Deciding which CD's I'll bring for the drive up & back. The only real variable is what time I'll get there, and that doesn't matter so much.
   There was just enough notice ahead of time to where things could be well thought out but the trip could still feel rather spontaneous. Best of both worlds. heh I'm ready. Cool

LD: Thanx. I did! Cheesy

Tanai: Oh, I have been when it's here. Wink

Hair: Lesson learned. Never wear a flipped ponytail to Disneyland! At the end of the night, I ended up ripping out several strands of hair that had gotten stuck on my hairtie. Cry No surprise, really...given the rain and all that whipping around on rides.
    But I ended up giving my hair a much needed drink with an overnight EVOO treatment and putting it to bed. Did a WCC the next morning and all was well. Must remember to do contained styles on Disneyland days.

Anyway, today was the usual CWC + Detangling spray routine. Haven't braided yet. Still taking my Biotin like a good girl. ...

Weather: Very odd. One minute it's sunny, the next it's pouring. Huh

Disneyland: Sweet. Cool Started out with 6 of us: my parents, my sister, sister's bf, my buddy T and myself. We went on some rides (Big Thunder Mountain in the pouring rain - always a blast) and saw Billy Hill & the Hillbillies in the Golden Horseshoe. My parents left around dinner time. Then my sister, her bf, T and I went to CA Adventure for the Tower Of Terror - sister's favourite ride. I hadn't been on it in over a year, so I was clinging to my own handlebar and T's while screaming bloody murder. Grin After that, my sister & her bf wanted to get fudge for the ride home, so T & I went back into the Disneyland park with them. After they left, T & I had dinner at Pizza Port (been forever since I had pizza), then went on the new Submarine Voyage, which I hadn't seen since the Finding Nemo remodel. Pretty cool!
    Lastly, we headed over to the Blue Bayou for dessert - an ice cream cookie boat with lots of chocolate & caramel syrup and a mast with edible sails. T didn't want to share it with me, but gave in eventually. ...
    Then, we left the park, hopped on a tram and went back to our cars. It took exactly 107 minutes for me to get from the parking structure to my driveway in the rain. I went to bed after washing up, but it took 2 whole days for my waterproof mascara to wash off completely. Angry Another lesson (re)learned: avoid waterproof mascara!
    Oh, and I signed up to finance an annual pass, so I can go back to Disneyland anytime I want for a year. Cool Meaning I won't have to miss out on Bats Day. Wink

Other Stuff: Been doing some early spring cleaning in areas of my bedchamber that haven't been touched in years, if ever. Freed up even more space! Cheesy
   
My parents have wasted no time in turning my sister's old room into a guest room. Dad bought an antique dresser for it that I'm jealous of.
    We have company coming in from out of state on Friday, so now they'll have their choice of guest rooms at our place.

Yesterday, I bought a bunch of tops at Express. Today, I'll be returning all but 2 of them. Roll Eyes C'est la vie.

Sakina: It did. Wink Very astute, my dear.

Hair: Today, I went through the usual Tuesday clarifying routine. No leave-in's, though, as I was pressed for time. ACV seems to make my hair softer than DWV, and less dry, so combing and braiding is easier. Smiley I think I'll stick with it...at least for awhile.

Still can't shake the idea of getting a serum, so one of these days, I just might. Either Biosilk or Chi. Roll Eyes

Ran out of my conditioner blend this morning and mixed up a new one. Now I'm tracking how long it takes me to go through a 12.6 oz. bottle.
    Other than that, still taking my Biotin and waiting, waiting, waiting...
Hair's in the usual single braid today.

Music: Big Dave just sent another ungodly-long list of songs that he wants everyone to learn in a week. Suffice it to say that the man's expectations are unrealistic at best. ... The band has decided on the name Big Dave and the Gas Guzzlers, complete with a gimmicky old cars/gas pumps theme and a cheesy slogan. The further things *ahem* "progress" with this band, the less interested I become. As if the bad Elvis tunes weren't enough...

Other Stuff: Returned the crap that didn't work out at Express and got my money back. Yay. And I plan to do a little online clothes shopping after next payday. Smiley

As for our weather, the rain has moved on. Skies are blue/white and cloudless as ever, though it's still cold.

Indeed. I've taken Biotin before for 6 months exactly. No results.

Hair: Today, it got a WTC "just because"...a spur-of-the-moment decision that consequently made me late for work. Angry Leave-in's were Detangling spray and EVOO, and either I overdid it with the latter or didn't get all of the conditioner rinsed out because after my hair dried, the back of it was all greasy in the middle. Undecided Tomorrow morning's CWC should clear it out, so I guess I'll just have to be a dirt magnet until then. Tongue Hair's braided as usual, so it's not too bad.

Nails: Have been converted into little blood droplets courtesy of Sally Hansen Salon Laquer in Cerise Noir. Due to a crazy schedule and a nagging mother, I've had to finish the new mani at work. So what else is new? Roll Eyes

Weather: In the 50's during the day and 30's at night. I've remorsefully postponed all power walking until March.
   Had a short convo with a Detroitian co-worker this afternoon about the difference between northeastern cold weather vs. southwestern. It was a mutual agreement that southwestern cold is far worse. Must have something to do with humidity (and complete lack thereof).
   Speaking of which, my skin is horridly dry again. Super moisturizing bodywash and nightly moisturizing is mandatory. I think I'll also get a deeply moisturizing lip balm tonight. Oh yes, and my nose is still bleeding. Curse you, SoCal! Angry
   lol Just as I'm typing this, a visiting co-worker from our Radnor, PA location informed me that it's warmer in Cleveland than it is here. Roll Eyes

Other: Spring fashion is here and scary as ever. Tongue At least my favourite pants are on sale.

That's when it starts, I didn't notice an actual difference until 9 months or so.  Tongue Biotin is certainly not a product for people with no patience.  Grin So of course I use it...  Roll Eyes

Yep out here too, yesterday we made it to 63°. Now we have 50mph winds. And it's 50°.  Tongue Power already went off once.  Angry

I hear you.  My daughter and MIL love it, but those colors make my skin look dusty.  And some of the color combinations, such as a bright pink shirt with a bright green bird (a t-shirt I saw in old navy) are extremely confusing to the eye.  Shocked

Bright colours and bad shapes. Someone needs to admit that capri pants were a very bad idea. Grin

Didn't realize that your area had that sort of weather. Shocked It always looks so temperate on TV... Roll Eyes

Skyfire: Yeah, the pink & green combo has been a preppy trend for several years. And if you have a warm skin tone, most of the screaming brights won't flatter you.

Hair: The roots were extra oily this morning, so another vinegar rinse was needed after the initial wash. After that came the "treat" and "condition" phases, but with some, er, distractions. Angry My only only leave-in for today was Pantene Detangling spray. After air drying, the ends of my hair still felt dry and a bit nasty, and they tangled in some places. Angry

Angel Hates Oil: After only 2 days using Olay Ribbons bodywash, I tossed it. Only bought it because I happened to have a coupon and had wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately, like many Olay bodywashes, it's loaded with oil and leaves a Vaseline-like coating on everything it touches. Tongue
   Long story short, I ended up having to replace my shower poofs & cap and clean my entire shower, which helped to make me late for work. Angry Even added a little ACV to one of my B&BW bodywashes to help remove the wax coat on my skin. Tongue Washing once doesn't remove it, unfortunately.
   Come to think of it, the evil ribbons may have been responsible for yesterday's greasy spot in the back of my hair. It has a way of creeping up the back of my neck. Tongue

This is all unnecessarily revolting. I may donate the remains of my EVOO to the kitchen and wash my hands of it, literally and entirely.

Angel Hates Bleach: So why must her mother be so fond of it? It's in most of our household cleaners...and I ended up ruining both my Jack Skellington hoodie and the jeans that I have on while cleaning the shower this morning. Angry
   When one's wardrobe is a palette of dark tones, one mustn't use bleach when cleaning. It's that simple. Perhaps browsing the "green" household cleaners at Target last night was something of an omen. Hmm...
   In any case, my mission is now to replace my damaged clothes. Been needing new ones for awhile anyway.

Angel Loves Friday The 13th! What a lucky day, eh? Tongue

Quite true. Capris make the legs look shorter...not a problem for yours truly, but a common problem for many petite women.

Mother always said that variety is the spice of life. Roll Eyes Probably beats the daily hot/dry routine here though. Tongue

Hair: While watching me finger comb my hair this morning, my father said it looked thin and that I needed to cut it short and have it styled. I informed him that I'd already gone that route in my early 20's and came out looking like Jodie Foster. Not my thing. Tongue

Today's routine was a simple CWC + Detangling spray. Style was a flipped ponytail. Thank goodness for my flipping tool! It really has been an asset.

Tonight, I plan to try an overnight treatment with Suave Tropical Coconut conditioner in place of EVOO. Naturally, I'll follow with a WCC tomorrow.

Other: Our family friends from KS (surrogate family, really) are visiting after almost 2 years. It's awesome to see them again. Smiley They are far more accepting of technology than my parents - my KS "dad" showed my mother how to do simple things with her cell phone while my KS "mom" reset our wireless router and let me check out her MacBook (I like Macs). Smiley Mother was defiant, of course. Roll Eyes

A Victoria's Secret swim catalog came for me in the mail today and mother trashed it without even giving it to me. Angry I retrieved it and told her that the cover model reminded me of her in younger years. Unimpressed, she seized it, trashed it again and told me to stop wasting my money on them.
... Oy.

Later on, she told my KS "mom" that I can't cook, then spent at least half an hour talking about my ex-husband. Yup, she was on a roll today. *sigh*
