To a stylist, anything below the ears is "long." Roll Eyes

The general consensus of the stylists there was anything longer than armpit length qualifies as long.

It is suuuuper windy today and I've got to go out for my fancy pedicure.  I decided to try an English braid and, much to my pleasure and surprise-it is finally hanging properly.  (OK-I'm counting my blessings)  The thickness of my hair has heretofore made my English braid very stiff and it would not hang down properly.  I'm going to celebrate this milestone with an Iced Venti Shaken Passion Tea Lemonade w/3 pumps classic.  The classic in a simple syurp-otherwise its way too tart for me.

Well, basically it is passion fruit tea (Tazo brand) which is an herbal tea that is quite sour mixed with lemonade and some simple syrup.  A twist on an Arnold Palmer (you know, 1/2 iced tea and 1/2 lemonade).

Ack!  I've been running around all day w/hubby doing errands for my trip.  We had an awesome anniversary lunch at an outdoor restaurant that serves local organic food.  Very pricey, but the weather was beautiful and the food was yummy.

I did make it to Kohl's to buy a dress w/my $10 off coupon.  I've got some shoes on the way and I wanted to wear the dress w/the shoes for traveling tomorrow, but the shoes haven't arrived so I'll save the dress for Mother's Day.

GREAT NEWS:  the clinical trial my mom is in seems to be working for her!  There is improvement on several lesions!!!  Her fatigue has been quite extreme lately, so they gave her a week off while they did the CAT scan.  She sounded really good when I spoke to her today and I'll see her tomorrow!

I'm pretty much packed.  I have to get up before 4am for my 6:30 flight.  I don't know if I'll be on the boards at all until I get back on the 12th.  So, I hope everyone takes care and Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's on here.

Laters!

Thanks, Curlgirl64.  It is really great news!

I'm still hung over from traveling, so I'll write more later.

I'm glad you're back.  How was your mom?  Was the reality as good as she sounded when you talked to her?

Please let us know how you mother is.  I understand you need to rest first.  Happy belated anniversary.

Thank you, melusine and Drear.

My mom's scan showed no new cancer, and the lesions they measured at the beginning of the study have decreased.  All of her blood clots are gone.  The side effects have been nasty and short lived, with the exception of the extreme fatigue.  Oddly, the fatigue is not one of the listed possible side effects.

We had a pleasant time, and she was really happy to see us.  I was there a total of 12 days and hubby joined me for the last 5 days.  Mom was really happy to see him, and I was glad to have him with me.  We've been traveling separately for a couple of years now, what with his overseas trips for work and all of my trips to MI since my mom's endometrial cancer.  We have our Paris trip coming up at the end of August.

I hope the positive developments continue for your mother.  With your busy separate engagements it sounds really good and very romantic that you have this trip to look forward to.

Thanks very much, Drear & Angel.

I've been coughing since Saturday and generally feeling unwell so I've hardly been online.  I did manage to shower yesterday and wash my hair.  My skin has been drier than usual-to the point of discomfort. 

I've decided to go to my friend's party as a pirate.  I couldn't find my seaweed boas or white corset for Calypso.  So, I'll be Anne Bonnie's cousin, Bonny Bonnie.  I thought about Bunny Bonnie or Bambi Bonnie and be all ditzy and silly.  Still developing the costume and character.  I keep going back and forth about doing henna on my hands for it.  I was thinking about wearing sari pants, and saying that I had been kidnapped by a Sultan and I had escaped the harem.  That way my costume could be very mismatched and the henna would make sense.  I was looking for this very valuable book that how I got caught.  It has a funny name, something like Karma Sutra.  I already have a buyer.

Anyway, its sunny, my cat is lying in the window and I'm going to go make some tea.  I think I feel a tiny bit better today.
