"Praise to Buddha", sorry, that's totally stuck in my head.  We finally got through the whole ballet tonight, twice.

I got back on my scalp massage schedule and I brought coconut oil mixed with neem oil.  Pam, my scalp masseuse likes this new oil and I think my hair absorbs it much better than sunflower oil.

Mondo exhausted, especially since I'm back to working out w/my trainer 2 times a week.  I really need some black out curtains for my bedroom-I haven't been able to stay asleep for as long as I need with the rehearsals.  It takes me quite a while to wind down and get the music out of my head so by the time I get to sleep its much later than usual.  Sorry, I think I'm rambling.

I have started showering before rehearsal so my hair is dry by the time I go to bed.

Oh, yeah, that reminds me of the whole reason I started this post.  My birthday is coming up and today I bought myself a present: a Mason Pearson hairbrush.  In the past I always bought myself some new yoga clothes for work in honor of my birthday, and now I have plenty of those so I've invested in good haircare.

Must sleep now.

Trisha, I'm not sure how to respond.  After f-ing up my hair by getting bangs I've decided to be more serious about my mission to grow long, healthy hair.  I think this brush will be extra handy to minimize damage from wearing a wig in the show.

Tonight we do the "Getting to Know You" sequence, choreography with the singing.  I'm wife #6 and I have a son, Nathan.  He's super cute and shy so I think we'll be a good team.

I'm totally craving Jack in the box eggrolls tonight.  Since the kids will be at rehearsal and its a school night we'll be done at 9PM instead of 10PM.  So I'm snackin' on eggrolls before rehearsal.

Tomorrow I'm getting spray tanned for the show.  This will be a trial run...the lady is a friend of my personal trainer and she does this out of her house.  Its like airbrushing.  I hope it turns out good.  Tonight after I get home I'm going to soak in a hot bath and scrub my skin really well in preparation.  I'm thinking I'll bring a shower cap along, just in case.

Well...I'm gonna go run to JITB and get me some eggrolls so I can be early.  Our director is super strict about punctuality!

Hey-I just joined Facebook.  If you want to be my friend, PM me!

Midnight Angel, it was just a thought!  There were quite a few other colors of hair on the documentary, I was just thinking indigo because they want our hair to be black in the show.  I do look pretty awful with black hair.  In high school we did "Guys & Dolls" and I had to wear a black bob wig, I looked like death warmed over! 
Actually, one of the guys on the cruise had waist length, blond, wavy hair that was very pretty.

Trisha, got it!

This morning, bright and early I got re-sprayed.  I hope we've figured it out, and I get an awesome result this time!

Yay, no rehearsal tonight!!!  I'm going on a date w/my hubby!!!

Hubby took me out for dinner at Chipotle's.  YUM!  I was so tired tonight I just wanted to eat close to home, so we ate and talked and it was really nice.  He's not a night person, so he's been struggling to stay up until I get home from rehearsal and I'm wound up and he's ready for bed so we haven't connected so much since rehearsals started.  I don't think I have many rehearsals next week, 2 remaining this week.

I'm planning on doing henna tomorrow night so the color will be fully developed by Sunday, my 39th birthday.  I'll have to do it after rehearsal, but I don't have to get up early on Friday so I think I'll manage.

Oh, yeah!  I did something different when I washed my hair yesterday and I wanted to write it down!
After finishing my usual wash, condition, deep treat, condition, rinse warm then rinse in cold water head down then squeeze out excess water I applied my leave in.  The difference here is that instead of finger combing the leave in through, I pulled my waves apart from the middle-horizontally.  Then I applied the usual styling products and plopped my hair.  The result was much stronger wave and more even pattern.  I can't wait to try it again w/o the deep treat!!!  I'm soooo excited.

My spray tan turned out better this time than the last.  I think the next time I'm going to quickly shower before I go w/o moisturizing.  Right now I moisturize the night before because I'm bathing and exfoliating and my super dry skin cannot go w/o moisture!  The spray tan liquid is really moisturizing and I think I'll make it from my house to hers without drying out too much.  I tried it on my face this time and it took the color much better than before.  I think I'm still a bit too light, thank goodness we have time to perfect this before we do dress rehearsal!

(hee hee) Basically the answer is yes, but it takes only about 5 minutes and you stand in front of a fan to speed the process.
