congrats on the back stuff!  I know you must be thinking of doing a happy dance! Cheesy
Just curious,do you practice Pilates on the mat or are there Reformers in your class?
I have the Pilates Chair and I just replaced my Performer of 10 years with an Aero Pilates.......a few of the accessories to go along with it...................

Curlgirl64:I'm doing mat Pilates.  Its called 21st. Century Pilates by Laura Peralta.  She also has a set of 3 dvd's (basic, intermediate and advanced) and I use the basic one at home to supplement my walking and yoga.  I've never used a Pilates machine of any kind.

I'm waiting on the happy dance.  With my history, as soon as I'd really get grooving my SI joint would go out and I'd be done dancing.

20 years, holy smokes!  Here's hoping you experience a sense of relief for that long.   Smiley

Trisha:Yeah.  Thanks for the good wish.

Last night I did the Steam hair oils and left them in overnight.  Then my alarm didn't go off and thank goodness I got a phone call that woke me so I had less than an hour to shower, take care of the kitties and try to get to my appointment that's 40 minutes away.  I wound up being 15 mins late but am glad I made it.

I'm very happy to report that my hair is long enough to make a Hawser braid. (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=torrinpaige#p/search/1/8y3LvWpncQQ)
I just used the 1/2 up portion.  It turned out really cool.  I need more length for a Hawser to look good as a regular braid but I really like it and it made a cool bun, too.

Gonna go pick up hubby from the airport!!  Bye!

Very cool that your husband is coming back.

Angel:Yeah, me too!  She has awesome tutorials.

Hubby's almost over his jet lag but not quite.  I'm really glad to have him home, though.

August 18th we leave for PARIS so I hope he's done with the jet lag by then!!

Today I got some good news, my blood pressure is getting low and my med. dosage is being lowered.  I'm on my way to being free of HBP!!  Yippee!!

So far, I'm still the only one who measured this month.  Did I miss a memo or something?

I'm so anxious to get to waist length.  Today is humid, so I'm having a fat hair day.  My braided buns look so fat at the top and it bugs me.  Its probably because of the layering but I think it looks funny and uneven.  Humph.

Ugh.  Have been having a headache off and on for two days.  Storms have been moving through, perhaps a pressure system has stalled-I wish we'd get a good downpour.

Today I went running errands w/hubby since I've been feeling like crap I thought getting out might help.  Um, nope.  It was windy and humid.  I did something I rarely do-I wore my hair in a braided pony tail.  I used a rope braid and it turned out pretty well.  By the end of our errands the little elastic that was holding the ends broke and suddenly my rope was unwinding.  It was a strange sensation.
We came home and I slept for almost 5 hours.

I have a trim on Monday.

More headaches.  Bleh.  I got an adjustment today so I hope that's the end of that!

Got my trim-looks nice.  I'm glad I get my 12 week trims, my hair looks very healthy as its growing long.  Just a few inches away from waist length!!!

Curlygirl64: Yes.  Although now I'm a little bit farther away since my trim.  Can't have it both ways, huh?  Doesn't mean I don't want it both ways, though.

I got my pocket sized Mason Pearson boar and nylon brush today for my trip to Paris.  I love it, and am happy to have  a decent brush for my purse now.

Got new walking shoes yesterday, so I'm almost done with shopping for my trip.  I still need mascara and some small bottles of devacurl shampoo and condish and gel.  I'm going to look for a short trench coat since it rains almost every other day there.  Oh yeah, and I need a smaller size belt.

Congrats on the smaller belt size.  It is always nice to lose a few pounds when needed.  Especially since you are going to Paris.  I always gain weight on vacation because we eat out all the time.  Have a good time.

Gosh, you're leaving for Paris in 2 days!!  I've always wanted to visit Paris, so there's a fair amount of envy coming your way.  LOL  Take lots of pictures, have a great time and safe journey home to you.   Smiley

Melusine: Thank you!  Yes, it is very nice to lose weight right before a trip.  We'll be walking a lot, so I hope it offsets the cheese and the bread and the pastries and the wine, etc...

Trisha: Yippee!  Well, you're not dead yet!  You might make it one day.  I plan to get lots of good pics, which we'll post on facebook frequently (I hope).  Thanks for the good wishes, I'll take 'em!

I've started a new night time routine: pineappling.  I think I'm leaving my sleeping braids behind and will continue to pineapple.

I think it is less stressful on my neck and the scrunchie stays in all night.  It is better for my waves than braiding, that's for sure!

Getting the last of the laundry done for the trip, and just a few more errands tomorrow.  Yay!

Curlgirl64: You're welcome!  I get a lot of information from that site and love to browse all of their products for textured hair!!  You might want to sign up for their newsletter-they offer sales and coupons in addition to info and trends.

Thank you-I hope you have an easy time watching the boards while I'm gone.  We are taking the laptop, so I intend to keep up as much as I can.  There's a 9 hour time difference between AZ and France so I'll be on at odd hours.

I got all of my makeup brushes washed this morning, and a final run of my Paris makeup kit.  I'm happy-just waiting until after breakfast to try the lipstick sample I got.  I may have to go to the mall and pick up a tube.

I have a pedicure today, and lunch with a friend.  Hubby and I might be shopping for rain coats tonight.  Might just be buying one in France, though.  The temps there in August are considerable cooler than AZ and it seems to be raining every other day, so I hope I can make it there w/o freezing if I don't find a coat tonight.

I'm thinking about pineappling on the plane.  I usually fly w/twin low braids but they can bother my neck w/my pillow so I'm considering wearing it down for the trip and just throwing it up into the scrunchie when sleeping.  I did a deep treatment this weekend to help keep the frizz down.
