I tried my new Mason Pearson rake comb in the shower today and I love it!  It glides through my hair like a dream, and detangles gently.  It is a big improvement from the plastic comb I've been using for years.  Perhaps I'll have less splits??  Time will tell.

I've been breaking in my new Dansko shoes for my Paris trip.  Rubbed a little skin off last night, so I guess I'll have to get some thin cotton socks.

I also got some dry shampoo powder to take along on my trip.  I plan on bringing only travel sized shampoo and conditioner and gel.  I'm trying to pack light (so I can bring more stuff home!) so I'm planning on washing my hair only a few times on the 11 day trip and using this powder as needed.  I tried it a couple of days ago and it works great.  I can really extend the time in between washings.  The sample size I got only comes in lavender/clary sage.  The big size comes in jasmine and tuberose so I'm a little not excited about the smell.  It isn't really noticeable, I just like jasmine and tuberose better.

You'll probably be grateful for the socks.  I don't mind the look but even if you do, I think it's a very good style sacrifice.  I wish I'd thought of it when I went to London.  Nothing like being lost and walking around with hurting feet.

Yeah.  Hubby and I went to Target and found some nice cotton blend short socks for $1!

Today I went to an awesome Latin dance class. Suuuuper fun!!  Thank goodness I wore my hair in a bun, with a lace braid-everyone else in the class had their hair sticking to their sweat.  Now I have something to look forward to on Saturday mornings!!

I've got to get around to doing a deep treatment.  I've got a sinus headache right now so turning my head upside down is not very appealing.  We've had crazy high winds today-on my way home from dance class I drove through a dust devil.  That was weird.

I hope you can get some sinus relief.  The class sounds great.  Good to have something to regularly look forward to.  I miss Target for so many things.

Drear:Thanks.  I took some Motrin and my sinuses are better.  Yeah, Target would be one thing I'd miss not living in the US.

I'm still having random weird sensations in my leg and arm.  Its so frustrating-I don't know what to do to fix it. 

Tomorrow my mom gets her nose unpacked.  One of the chemo side effects is nose bleeds, and they had to pack her nose for 4 days.  It really sucks.

Have to get up early tomorrow-might get in a 5 minute deep treatment in the shower.  If I get enough sleep tonight, that is.

Sounds like Restless Leg Syndrome to me.  You might want to mention it to your doctor and describe it to her or him. 
I take a generic for Requib.  I'd go insane without it. 
My RLS is painful at times,if I don't catch before it starts to happen.  My right leg or arms feel like they're jumping inside.
I think my case is extreme so don't pay too much worry to yours.  Alittle stretching or meds. may help!

My husband claims that magnesium supplements (combined in his calcium for his osteoperosis/sp?) aleviates his restless sleep syndrome.

I had RLS when I was on Paxil.  750-100mg of aspirin will relieve RLS for many people.  It worked like a charm for me.  Good luck.

The doc made no mention of RLS.  I have a 20+ year old spinal injury that I'm still getting treatment for.  I think the cause is from stress with my mom's ongoing cancer issues and from muscle tightness and spinal imbalance.  Dehydration seems to play a role-I have little or no symptoms when I'm drinking water and electrolytes but then if I drink iced tea (which means I'm not drinking as much water) then it flares up.  Also, I've been exercising a lot more than I was so the need for water is increasing along with the temperatures.

Thank you all for your good thoughts and suggestions.  ((hugs))

Good news:  my mom got her nose unpacked and she's feeling better.  Now she can breathe, eat and sleep!!!

I think I'll need a different pair of walking shoes for Paris from the Dansko clogs I bought.  I need something flatter for long distance walking.  Guess I'll be shopping later this month for that.  I've got a crack in my right heel, so I'm taking today off from rebounding and walking.  I have Pilates tomorrow morning, belly dancing on Friday night and Latin dance on Saturday morning.  Sunday I have a full body massage scheduled-I am so overdue for a nice, relaxing treatment.  I'm still sore from yesterday's neuromuscular therapy.  I feel better than before, but I need a pampering break from the intense therapies.

It's understandable that you're stressed about your mom.  I wish I had the time and money for belly dance lessons.  I've been wanting to take belly dance lessons since I was 7.

Drear: I hope someday that you get to take belly dance lessons!!  I'll think of you in class tomorrow night!  Do you have access to DVD's?  Perhaps the library?

I finally did the deep treatment last night.  Wow!  My hair is wavy, twisty and spirally.  So, essentially happy hair!

I got the result from my 2nd blood test-everything is fine!  Guess I was just a bit dehydrated the first time.

With so much on your plate, it's good to get a few little breaks like that, eh?

Angel: Yes, a little break now and then feels wonderful.

Yesterday I made a bunch of hello kitty molded onigiri (japanese rice balls) w/ume (pickled plum) filling and a bunch of small triangle onigiri w/spicy tuna filling.  Y.U.M.
I'm in love with obento-the foods, the boxes, the accessories, all of it.  I've started making bentos weekly, and even a few for hubby.  I'll convert him yet, I will!

Yesterday night I walked down to the CVS (in 100 degree weather-crazy, I know but this is AZ and I'm getting fit for walking in Paris) and bought the Goody spin pins.  I love them!!!  I got the brunette set, since I'm in between colors but figured the darker color would blend better.  Also, they twist down so far in my hair they're hidden!
I had tried the hair scroos in the past, but they were too small for my thick hair.
I'm really happy I bought these, especially with my trip coming up!!
