Dear Hair Diary,

Well its a new year and I wishing everyone health, happiness and great hair growth! :D

Yesterday we needed to get a part for our car so we went to the dealership.  I had a ball!  I sat in all the cars and played with everthing!  It was a Volvo dealership as I have a 20 year old 760 T.  All the cars there were 30,000 dollars and up the most being a 75,000 dollar convertable. Volvo dealerships are so sweet without be too posh.  They gave us coffee and catalogs, what a nice place!

Whenever a Canadian soldier dies in the middle east and his remains are flowen home to CFB Trenton I always say a prayer. :'(  At about 11:00 at night the plane will fly over my house as I'm two hours away from the base.  I wish this war was over and I pray we would just pull out of it....

Well it snowing like mad and it time to do house work. :P

bye for now

Lisa: My brother got shipped out 2 days after christmas. He's in Kuwait for a few weeks getting used to the climate, before being shipped to Iraq. I agree, I wish this war would end soon, before anybody else dies. :/

anyway, happy new year!

(((hugs))) The weather in Kuwait is 110 degrees in shade at 9 in the morning. :P  I too will praise the day we pull out of Iraq.
Happy New Year!

Dear Hair Diary,

Man it's been cold!!!  We had -12 yesterday. Eeee!!  We had to go out and drop off an old tv and mircowave at the dump, then get food and other stuff and true to form, my car gets sick.  Happly we got home and hubby fixed it so we could continue on.  For the cold I protected my hair with two hats under a woolen hijab, and then a cowl to cover my face up to my eyes. I then put  Elizabeth Adrens extreme cream around my eyes.   Whew!  Lastnight it was -17 so we all cuddled under a big fleecy blanket, bunny included!  :D

Picked up some almond oil yesterday and did a hair oiling.  I had read somewhere that for my hair type almond oil would be good.  My hair sucked it right up.  I also bought my shampoo too, thing is Jason is going through a packaging change, according to the store I buy it from so they did not have the one I ususally use which was the Sea Kelp one.  Now I have tryed the Biotin one from Jason and I had to give it away as I was getting rashes on my forehead from it.  So I picked the Henna one, haven't tryed it yet but will do today!  :)

Hubbies at work (praise Shiva!) and I get to do my workout, I'll do the Bellytwins Core workout (oh a tough one)! :o

bye for now! 8-)

Just wanted to say that I love the name of your new journal.

Rock on!

Dear Hair Dairy,

The almond oil worked really well!  And the Henna shampoo was awesome! Silky, shiney hair!

I was board lastnight and did some henna on a few candles

That's my Zen clock in the background!  Gaaa having trouble resizing the picture! :-[

Anyway it's lunch time! 8-)

That's exactly the smiley I was imagining when I typed that!!!

Your candles look really cool.  Will it stain the wax or do you leave the paste on permanently?

I have two Zen clocks-LOVE them!  They're the best alarm clocks EVER!!!

Hehe! ;D Right on!  
Thanks!  You leave the paste on permanently, now I know there's a way to seal it on but I haven't found out how. :-/  I don't thing it stains the wax, mind, if done on wood, leather or fabric it does stain.  People do it on drum skins, pictures fames and stuff.  

The Zen clocks are so neat!  I use mine to bring me out of a mediation. 8-)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Today is wash day.  The weather has warmed up and all the snow is melting.  The humidity has made the house really cold!  I've got the heater candles going to get the chill off.

I've been having fun with henna! Pitctures to come! Hubbies back to work so I've got time to do my dancing :D!

Oooh watched "The Seventh Seal" lastnight at around 1 am.  I haven't see it in years. At the end hubby came into the room with one of my black scarfs around his head.  I just about died!  I screamed and threw hairtoys at him! ;D  I told him he's going as Death for Halloween next year!

Anyway I'm having a hard time getting going today.  Its one of those dark days you just want to sleep...(kicks self in butt)

Dear Hair Diary,

Yawn, strech, ow!  Be working out alot lately.  I'm back to every day now.  It's been so humid!  The snow all melted away and eveything outside is soaked.  The parking lot is like quicksand, eeeww... :P

Hair is doing good.  PMS not too good. :-X Oh well, I never had a good time with it.

On other fronts there nothing much to say so I'm going back to bed!

bye for now!

Lisa, just wanted you know that one of your luver-ly bun covers (the blue one) is gracing the presence of everyone in ol' Academic Hall at Southeast Missouri State today.   ::)  Thanks again, dear!

:D Your Welcome!

Dear Hair Diary,

Today I did my zill practice and basicly took it easy.  My back has been killing me and Aunt Flo doesn't make matters any better http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/u/sheilaico.gif.

Had a wierd dream about being in a haunted haunted house and then going outside and seeing a train stuck in suspened animation at the rail road tracks.  I took a look around it and the minute I stepped off the train it came back to life to to speak and sped off, strange! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/k/vogel.gif

Hair needs a clarify, I'll do that on Saturday.  On Sunday I have my SIL's engagement party, well sort of, they want to met at Pizza Hut out side of the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) I know these people are strange....

Anyway bye for now! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/950/bird.gif

Dear Hair Dairy,

Was down most of the day yesterday with cramps but was able to wash my hair.  I did a clarify and my hair came out really nice. Later after my nap we went out food shopping and I got some Olay Classic beauty fluid!  I love it!  And so does my skin!  The scent brings back so many fun memories.  My mother knew a lady she woked with who told me that if I wanted to look beautiful I was to wash my hair with herbal essence and put oil of Olay beauty fluid on my face.  It's the same pink lotion and it does come in a crème form, which I am dying to try next.  I remember years ago being fed up with the skin crème I was using and went to the drugstore to get the beauty fluid only to find they had changed the formula.  So I bought what they had and it gave me a rash!  >:(  So the old lotion still rocks!  I wish it came in the old glass bottle.  I was lucky to get one as there was only two bottles left!  I guess word got out! LOL! I remember when Olay had there makeup line.  I loved the lipsticks, they had a good feel and taste to them. The mascara was good too!  Sadly they ended the line.  

Tomorrow were going downtown for the engagment meeting thingy..whatever.  :-?

Anyway I'm off! :)

Bye for now!

Dear Hair Dairy,

We went downtown to the engagment thingy.  I got to see my SIL A's place which was kinda neat.  We went to the resturant where A's boyfriend works.  Good food!  When I walked in I could tell the place was haunted.  I went to the washroom and saw a lady in 1800's clothes on the stairs.  Later I mentioned it to A's boyfriend and he was suprised I picked up on it as the place is known to be haunted.

Now here something I have to look into.  My neice M has an imaginary friend, okay that's normal.  However, M was not told her mother was pregnant.  She said her imaginary friend told her in a dream that mommy was pregnant.  This freaked out her mother.  I'm like okay this needs to be checked out.

Anyway time to clean the house and bellydance!

bye for now...

:o  You've just crossed over into...The Twilight Zone!

:o  You've just crossed over into...The Twilight Zone!

I've always been able to pick up other worldy vibrations, see ghosts and spirits.  It's a normal thing for me.  My Dad who was a no nonsense guy and whose favorite phase was "Bulls*%t!" Could detect parannormal stuff too.  Thing is this imaginary friend does worry me a little...

Dear Hair Diary,

I'm loving my Olay classic lotion!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0021.gif  It works well under makeup and makes my skin feel soft and not dry yet not oily and gross!

Dancing went good.  I did my Bellytwins core workout, my shoulders always hurt from doing the weights.  My balance is geting alot better.  I'm still 140lbs.  I thing it is because the its winter that I cannot loose more weight.  Hopefully the summer will be better!

Been playing with different updo and did a S&D lastnight.  

At the moment were very broke and I hate it!  Hopefully that will change.

Bye for now!

*nods* Yup, the 6th sense runs in my family too. I have it, my father has it, his mother had it...

Perhaps what your neice is talking to is not just "imaginary."

You know, that's a good point...I wonder how many children talk about an "imaginary friend" when what they are seeing is actually a spirit?

Angel, Trisha: I agree, it's a good chance it is a spirit.  Sometimes it a harmless one, like it could be a grandparent or an angel . Or it can be a something unspeakable. :o  The feelings in there house is a little unsettled  but not "spooked" as far as I can tell.  When I see my neice again I'll talk to her and see what I can get.

I had an "imaginary friend" of sorts as a child. Her name was Samantha and she had long, gorgeous black hair.  :)  She also had pale skin and turquoise eyes like me. Makes me wonder if she was a figment of my imagination or a reflection of my spirit. Or maybe I just made her look the way that I wished that I looked...  ::)

But children are typically more receptive to those "other wordly vibrations" than adults. So who knows?

Dear Hair Dairy,

Man I'm sore today!  Some workouts are a killer :P.  I need to wash my hair and trim my fingernails today.  I'll make it my break/facial day.    No shrinks this month as he's been called away on a family emergency. :)  

Anyway off to pamper self! 8-)

Dear Hair Dairy,

 Well I rested and pamapered myself yesterday.  My back feels a little better today so I'll do my walk. The only thing that has me stressing is the school kids outside.  I hate them, ugh!

My paranoid neighboor K came over lastnight to use my computer.  He changes his pasword monthly and this time he forgot what he changed it to.   Oye vey ismir!  Then he locked himself out and we had to break him back into his place. >:(  Apprently he needs a operation (man stuff) and is on medication, thing is thought he's drinking on top of the meds.  I feel bad for him and I don't, its strange :-X    

Did some henna lastnight on my hand, can;t wait to see how it turned out.

Bye for now!

Dear Hair Diary,

Hairs been silky soft!  I've been spraying it with water mixed with jojoba oil that I scented and its really working out well.  Lastnight I was in pain... :-[  My hip was just screaming.  But a nice rub down helped (thank god!)  I did got for my walk yesterday.  I did half and hour in the morning and half at night.  The school kids were around the corner braking up some garbage in the street and being rude to cars driving by.  I was thinking not today!  But they knew who I was and moved out of my way and did say a word.  They know they can be suspened for bothering people on my block, the little butt pains.  http://smilieshq.com/smilies/rolleye0004.gif

On other fronts the henna I did on my hands is still going!  It went black after the first day and is fading very slowly.  I started using an AHA cream to help it fade.

Tonight is pizza night!  I get a whole wheat crust pizza with veggies!  Yum!! :D

Bye for now!

the little butt pains.

Hey Lisabelle,

Just thought I would drop in, check how you are doing and say HI!!  Ya, school kids can be soooooo bad.  I live in the middle of nowhere and one of my neighbours keeps getting egged and some houses have been broken into (videos and booze stolen so you know it is kids since they took no jewelry etc).  I figure I am safe from break in since the kids seem to be hitting houses that have teenagers in them (as in they have been in the houses to case them) plus I have a really noisy alarm system and neighbours that are home all the time and keep an eye on me.

Hi!  its great to hear from you!  I was wondering how you were doing!  Man its been cold latley in our neck of the woods.  We had -17c last night hope your keeping warm!  :)

Dear Hair Diary,


Yesterday was babysitting. :(  I had a good time but still, who the hell leaves there 3 year old to go tramping around? Boils my blood!  We were suposed to stay overnight but hubby said no way!  He went back this morning to help his mother.  My neice has been acting very bad and mom just can't cope anymore. Oye....

Anyway its been very cold -17c.  I froze!  My poor hair!  When I got home I oiled the whole thing, it feels beter now.  My skin was just screaming, thank god for Aveeno!

During a quite time, I spoke to my neice about her Imaginary Friend.  He's a yellow and white cat called Mugga who come in her dreams.  He hasn't frightend her or anything... So it could be a spirit, I need more case info on this.  I do know that her evil grandfather's ashes were kept in the house for a few years.  I don't know what they did with him.  Must check this out further. Case log still open...

Well, I'm off to clean my messy house and do laundry. Woopie do! :P

Dear Hair Diary,

Couldn't sleep lastnight.  I had a nagging sore throat that kept me awake. :P  Its been so dry and that hasn't helped nor has the humidifyer. :(  So now I'am having a cup of tea.  I did use some throat spray (god that stuff is gross).  I am out of my herbal throat drops. I use Thayers slipper elm drops, they really help.

Talk about dry!  I oiled my hair and it just sucked it up.  I washed and let it dry and hubby said it looked like it needed more moisture, rats!  So I've been using my oil and water spray a few times a day.  My skin is not impressed with the dryness either.  More lotion!

Watched Paranormal State last night.  I think they made a mistake with the native spirit they were dealing with.  From what I was taught you do not mess with things you do not know about.  Alright, they got some natives to help them but, they did not listen to them, not good. They just went ahead and did what they wanted to do.
:-/ :-X

Any who I'm going to crank the humdifry up and see if I can get some sleep

Dry weather sux. I live in desert territory, so I can sympathize.  :(  Remember to drink lots of water.

Will do!  :)

So you too huh?  I've been going through the same thing here with dryness and I've been going through lotion like crazy.  I even have to keep water on my night stand because my throat has been getting very dry as well.

I hope we all find relief soon. :)

I hope we do too. :P  My sore throat is now a nasty coldhttp://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sick0026.gif  So I'm taking aspirins, Buckleys Mixture and Recola cough drops.  I do the herbal thing when I'm sick.  I find it works better for me.

Ugh...a cold, thats terrible. :-[  Hope you feel better soon.

If you can - try to add humidity to your air.  It will help with your sore throat as well as your skin.  A couple of ways to do this:

• run a humidifier
  
• have lots of plants indoors
  
• keep a warm kettle of water on the stove
  
• if you have a fireplace or wood stove, add a kettle of water near the fire
  

Hope  you feel better soon.

Feel better soon  :)

Bikerbraid, Trisha, La Diosa:  Thanks so much! I hate being sick :P

Hi Lisabelle,

It is cold here too.  How about snow storms this year?  Do you get snow storms?  Heck, we had one where we got 4 feet!!!!  I am reminded of people on this site complaining about the heat in the summer.  Heck, I HATE winter.  The sun is only around from about 8 am until about 4 pm, the driving is terrible, the cost of snow removal (my driveway is about 130 feet by 40 feet so doing it by hand is not happening) is killing me.  I hate the whole different wardrobe and all that.  PLEASE SUMMER, COME BACK!!!

Sorry you have a cold.  I dunno about where you are but here the temps have gone from +10 to  -20C overnight.  I think everyone is getting sick.  Hang in there.  

JD

I used to just hate the hot summer heat (anything over 90 degrees) but now I am hating the very cold winter :P

I used to cross-country ski and went sledding so I do not mind the snow unless I have to drive in it.

But the bitter cold is something I am really getting sick of.  Bitter cold to me used to be like -20 but now 20 or lower degrees is very cold to me now.  And then there are the wind chill factors :o

I hate it so much I am thinking of one day moving to a place like maybe somewhere in New Mexico or possibly lower Colorado (even though it can get cold in that region too but for not as long).

This past weekend we were around -14 and some places very close to us even got down to -35 :o

Thankfully it might get up in the high 30's Sunday so if it does it will feel like a heat wave to us ::)

Jerry

Sorry to hear that you're sick, Lisabelle.  :(  It's definitely going around.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks Joey. Angel and Jerry  :) http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sick0026.gif

I went to my shrinks today and found that he's moving his office to the new hospital.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0034.gif Not good, it's on the other side of town, two buses away(bugger...)  And its in the G-ward of the hospital no less.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0261.gif I don't like the idea but there nothing I can do.  His offices are shutting down and he's beening moved thanks to the old hospital being closed. He had his office in a building off the hosptial grounds.  I told him if I have to deal with mental patients I'm not coming anymore.  He said no, they are on the other side of the building and not to worry... http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/scared0001.gif

Anyway I had a shower and feel a little better, hopefully this cold will be gone soon as I have a play to go to a this weekend.

Cheers! 8-)

Aw,feel better soon,sweetie! :)

Thanks Curlygirl! :-*

Dear Hair Diary,

Well, I'm feeling a little better today, still got the cough though.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sick0026.gif  Hubby woke me up at 5 o'clock this morning snooring away... :P  So I got up and had a tea and got on the computer.  I put bunny on my lap as ususal.  Well it wasn't long before bunny desided to pee on me. :o :D  Little bugger! ;D

Today is more rest, at least my fever is gone.  I started writing again so I'll do some of that.

bye for now. ;)

Lisabelle,

I am glad you are feeling a little better and sorry your bunny was naughty!!

Sorry to hear about your shrink moving and the hassle it will be for you to get there but OUCH about the comment about "mental" patients!!!!  Heck, if you are seeing a shrink you are a mental health patient!!!  You know, they don't let the Charlie  Mansons walk around the building free!!!  Really, having to go to a hospital for an appointment is not that bad from the point of view of patients!!

Thanks and yes I have a very naughty bunny!  Personally I am afraid of going near the G-ward.  I know nothing will happen, it's just me being paranoid. :-[

Dear Hair Dairy,

Still battling the coldhttp://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sick0026.gifwhich has now become a dreaded runny nose. :P

My hairs been holding up pretty good. I did some more writing lastnight and might do more today.  I got a kick out of hubby making cookies for himself!  He did a good job! 8-)

bye for now

Dear Hair Diary,

Feeling better today!  I washed my hair and shaved!  Heheh!  I can breathe!! 8-)  Can't wait to get back to dancing!  My muscules have been very stiff some laying down alot so I will welcome the streching.  

Got a new keyboard as hubby dumped his coffee on the last one.  I love this one!  Its the old curved Microsoft one and typing is so much better!

Anyway its lunch time!

bye for now! 8-)

Dear Hair Diary,

Well I started my workouts again.  I gained three pounds when I was sick :-[ :P :'(.  I did a half hour walk this afternoon and an other one after dinner.  Then I did my back streches and 30 sit ups.  It feels good to not be sick anymore! :D

Been trying to do a low bun but it doesn't look right :-/ My hairs very fine and  I cannot use my bun rats anymore as my hairs too long! ;D Hopefully I can figure it out as I want to wear my hair like this for my SIL wedding in September.  

I don't know if I'm liking the Jason Henna shampoo, I usually use the sea kelp one.  I would like to try the super mosturzing hemp poo and condish.  Some of these things are hard to find as lots of stores do not carry the whole Jason line.  

Anyway it bed time!

Glad to hear that you're feeling better, Lisabelle.  :)

Lisabelle, one of my students gave me a prefilled mehndi cone.  I want to put it on my skin Thursday night.  She told me to put sugar and lemon on the paste after it dries.  What do you recommend I do to cover it for sleeping?  I'd appreciate any/all of your suggestions-you're my mehndi guru!

Mehndi guru!  I like that! :) 8-)  Okay here's what you do after doing the suger lemon juice thing let the mixture dry till its tacky then lay down some unrolled cotten balls on the design, it will stick to the lemon suger mixture then wrap in good old toliet paper!  The cotten helps keep the paste on the skin and prevents it from coming off and all over your bed sheets, husband..etc.  Get the cotten balls and eventhing ready and at hand before you start.  Now, if you've done you hand after the TP warp place a nice big sock over it (have hubby help) ;) mine knows the drill.  For feet, same thing.  Keep yourself warm, have a nice cup of tea then off to bed!  And, if your like me and do your boobs ;D again with the cotten then put on a soft bra.  Oh and here's what I do to make the lemon suger mix - I take about half a cup of lemon juice fresh or bottled out in a heaping tablespoon of suger and mircowave it for about a minute or so.  I let it cool before using.  If you need anymore help let me know.  Its my pleasure to help!  Oh and take pictures! :-*

Dear Hair Dairy,

Need to wash tomorrow. I have to do my heat cap treatment as I missed it when I was sick.  I think I will use my Alma oil mix.

Holy smokes!  I won a Bellytwins T-shirt!  I get there newsletter and they have a contest ever month and I won it for next month,  just in time for my b-day!  I'm soo tickled!

I did my walk again today, I think I will start dancing again tomorrow.  All my Henna has faded so I think I will do more.  

Anyway I'm off! 8-)

Thanks soooo much!!  In the past I've gotten mehndi done by a couple of ladies so when I got home I put plastic bags on to sleep.  It makes a mess, and the mehndi that falls off gets color on places it isn't supposed to go.  I never would have thought to put cotton on it!  I can hardly wait til Thursday to try it!!!  Should the sock be loose?  I won't be doing my boobs this time-my students specifically requested to see what I do.  I'll keep it in mind for the future, though.  Hmmm, maybe one of my Halloween Party themes will be body art.  Hmmm  8-)  :oi  Thanks for the idea!!!

:) Your welcome!  Yes, a big loose sock and your on your way! 8-)

Dear Hair Diary.

I washed my hair yesterday and it came out nice and soft.  Having a little frizz trouble with the ends. I have been doing S&D’s but maybe I need a trim? Haven’t given myself one in a long time. And like Samson I don’t want to cut it but maybe I should.  No way am I going to a hairdresser.  Maybe hubby will do it?

One thing I like to do once in a while is apply Kum kum powder to the part in my hair.  Hindu ladies do this to signify marriage. The powder is a deep red and looks great against dark hair.  I like the way it makes having my hair parted look less marm-ish.

I did 100 sit-ups!  I’ve been doing 30 a night for a while and today I did not feel like dancing so I did a stint of floor exercise and among them was the sit-ups.  My abs are sore but it was worth it.  Hopefully I can get rid of my muffin top soon. It was sooo windy yesterday!  I had to chase the garage bins down the driveway.  Then one rolled down into the marsh.  Bugger!  So here’s me climbing down a hill to go fetch a bin that stuck between two trees twenty feet down a slope.  I was getting blow around so bad I thought we were going to have a tornado! Hubby said next time just leave it and he will get them. Mind you they would be in Oz by then.

I did some henna on my hand.  I just did a little doodle. Once it’s ready I’ll post it.

My neighbor K has been to the new hospital last week for test and told me the place is truly as horrible are people are saying.  He ate food at there café and got really sick.  He had to wait four hours to get his tests and then the doctor was not available to talk to him.  He has some scary man problems, poor guy. The place is understaffed so badly it an atrocity. Any way after that I thought fine, if something happens to us (Allah forbid) were having the ambulance take us to the hospital in the next town.

Bye for now!

That sounds really cool!  I'd almost consider doing it myself...

If you cannot find Kumkum try using a dark red blush instead. ;)

Yes I bellydance too. Wow I would love to have been taught in the middle east.  Right now I have no teacher.  I use DVD's.  Not many teachers in my area.

Dear Hair Diary,

It snowing outside and I've got a bunny on my lap!  Were supposed to get a foot of snow today.  I'm in and relaxing my sore body!

Been putting my hair in a "Bubba Tail" for sleep and that has help tons with the frizz.  My henna is done and I wll post a pic later today.

Anyway I'm off! 8-)

Here's my lastest henna creation!  8-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/22331106@N03/2234361759/

Wow!  I love the crystals, and the design.  Great job!!!

That's very pretty! :D  How long do the stones stay on?

very nice job! have you ever done henna for feet? that's fun for special occasions. and now i sometimes refer to belly dance videos to remember the moves, since i haven't been around other dancers for a while.  was looking up dina on youtube. she's a very famous belly dancer.

Ooh la la! Your henna designs are always so pretty.  :)

Thanks everyone!

La Diosa - They stay on for a few hours as long as you don't put the hands in water or scrap them arcoss a hard surface.

RTG - Yes!  Just flip through my photos on the link

Angel thanks again!  I love your new avatar!

hehe Thanx.  ;)  And you're quite welcome.

Dear Hair Diary,

Here we flipping go again!  My landlord, in his infinte wisdom, was trying to plow the lot yesterday.  We got alot of snow.  Now if you remember, last snow storm the truck broke and we had to dig ourselves out.  Well, dumb bell strikes again!  This time he trys plowing and forgets to raise the plow and hits a tree root and breaks the plow!  I was watching this from the window in utter disbelief. Can you say dumb arse!  So instead of getting someone else to move the snow (Allah forbid he spends some money)  He just leaves it. So here's me out there making a parking spot for my car with a broom...  Thankfully hubby came home early and moved the three foot mound of snow from the entrance of the lot.   Right now my back is sore as hell.   :-[

On other fronts hubby is off babysitting for the morning. His sister has to get a sitter, she can't keep thinking were gong to drive 80 miles everytime she wants to go out and have fun.  I told hubby get gas money from her!  Crap, gas is $1.09 a gallon! :P  She needs to learn that nothing is free...

Ah, sorry for ranting :-[

Oh I got to measure my hair today!  

Well, I'm off!  Happy Ground Hog day! :D

Dear Hair Dairy,

I think gas prices blow everywhere!  :P  Hairs okay, mind you PMS makes it a little yucky.  Yowl! My back is still killing me from shoveling snow.  Mr. Bunny is asleep on my lap right now. ::)  Need to make a new batch of henna soon.  I made an Indian sweet lastnight call Coconut Barfi.  It was yummy!  Its like fudge and very sweet, hubby loved it! :)


Need to do my nails today then I'm going to relax and take care of my sore back.

bye for now!

Dear Hair Diary,

Looks like I might be getting bellydance lessions this spring!  The cities parks and recs catalog has them listed this year.  Prices are alot better then the studio's and I can get to these classes alot easyer!  I figuered I needed some instruction on what I'm doing.  It can be fun and not as stressful as a studio IMO.

Well I'm off to clean then wash my hair.

Cheers! 8-)

Thanks Lisabelle! :D  I'm considering trying something new with my hair and I'm weighing all of my options.

Lucky you, getting to take bellydance classes!  I would love to be able to take lessons in NYC from my favorite dancers, but oh well for me. :P :)

I'm so glad you'll have a class available!!  I take lots of parks & rec classes-can't beat the cost!!!

I'll bet you're in the intermediate class right away!!  You've been doing so good practicing at home, you already can do lots!!!  Lisabelle, the star pupil!!  ;D

Awww thanks!  :) It's almost been a year since I started on my own.  I do not know what style of dance they are going to teach.  The classes are all beginner as far as I know. At least I will not be too clumbsy! ;D

Dear Hair Diary,

Got my visit from aunt flo http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/u/sheilaico.gif today.  What fun!

We got more snow lastnight, not as much as before.  The plows have buried the trash cans, looks like the garbage man has to go digging! ;D

Anyway I'm off! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/9971/deepsleep.gif

Holy we getting buried!  It has not stopped snowing since 3 this afternoon!  I went for my walk and the snow was almost up to my knees! I went back in and got my snow shoes.  Needless to say I got a good workout.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0005.gif

Hubbies sick so he's be home tomorrow. :P :-X  
I just finished watching "The Shining" for the um-teenth time.  What movie to watch during a snow storm!  http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/scared0016.gif

The shining is one of my favorite movies 8-)


I even like the tv mini-series with Steven Weber in it.

Jerry

Right now it's so hard to fathom the snow.  It's been feeling so spring like here lately.  

The Shining, I watched that for the first time this past Halloween.  Very creepy movie! :D

I saw The Shining at the movies in 1980, been a Steven King fan ever since! 8-)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Was up at 6:00 this morning moving the snow from the driveway. >:(  Hubby, who is sick, had to go to work today.  His boss is such an arse! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/0/rail.gif
Talking about arses - its ten to twelve and now my landlord starts moving the snow.  Grrrrr...  and he will not do the walkway of which has three foot drifts, lts of fun! Screw it, I'm not moving it!  There's three able bodied men in this building. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/0/maniac.gif

Any who, it lunch time!

Dear Hair Diary,

I just finished my workout, sweaty!  I did the Belly Twins Core workout and just about shook the bells off my hipscarf! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/r/biggrincurtain.gif  It like dong the choo choo shimmy! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/f/wiggle.gif

Hubbies in bed sick today poor thing.  It's the same cold I had and the only way to get rid of it is to sleep it off.  I'll make him some soup when he gets up.

We watched "Ratatouille" light night.  It was fun and I enjoyed it very much.  I would not call it a little kid cartoon at all.  It's more for grown ups.

Anyway I'm going to relax http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/r/winknudge.gif

Dear Hair Dairy,

Hairs been doing okay, I've been spraying it with the oil and water to keep it soft. It's been very cold out and were in for more snow.

Poor bunny is really getting old.  :-[ This morning I found him all askew.  He was having trouble getting up so I righted him and placed him on his favorite blankie.  Poor little guy :-[

Today is cleaning and bellydancing.  Mr. Were not doing Valentines Day, is at work so even better. >:(

So as you can tell I'm depressed and not liking life right now, but I must Sally Forth.

bye for now.

Grrr...sounds like hubby needs an upgrade.  >:(

Sorry about your rabbit friend, Lisabelle. It sucks watching anything get old and fall apart.  :(

Hope things look up for you soon, love. *hugs*

Thanks sweetie :-*  
Upgrade? how about a refund.  Yeah poor bunny, I know this must be his last year on earth.  So I'll make him as comfortable as possiable.

Sorry about your bunny, poor little guy. :(

Yeah, that sucks about your bunny :( .  I bet he was real glad you were there to help him out though.  I'm hoping too that he's comfortable.  No doubt with all the love you give him!  You're a great bunny mommy! ;)

La Diosa, Curlygirl  thank you so much :-*  It's so sad to see bunny this way he keeps falling all over the pace and I know he's in pain.  He keeps trying to bite me as well.  I know we should have him out down :'(  Thing is were dangerously broke right now.  Goddess forgive me but I wish she would take him :'(

I'm sad about your bunny, Lisa.  I pray that he passes into the arms of the Goddess, pain free.

Probably best to leave him be as much as possible. Most animals don't like to have company when they're trying to die. Fussing over him too much will put unnecessary stress on both of you. I pray that his (and your) suffering will soon be replaced with peace and relief.

Light and grace.

Sakina and Angel, Thank you so much.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0028.gif  

Dear Hair Dairy,

I'm feeling better. :)  Bunny is resting next to his bed.  He's not acting as painful and has settled down.
 
Need to wash my hair tomorrow.  We are getting hit by a huge snow storm right now.  It was at a foot when I went to put out the trash at 9 o'clock.


Anyway, I would like to thank you all for everything.  I love you guys! :) :-*

We love you too, Lisabelle.  :-*

Any chance that you could send some of that snow this way?  ;D

Our "governator" is from Austria...it probably snows there all the time.  ;)

Dear Hair Diary,

My hairs been shedding due to stress, I expected this :-/.  Woke with a killer backache this morning.  I took an Advil.  Hope it clears up so I can do some dancing today.  

Been hangng in there the best I can.  It's hard :'(  

There doing my birthday on Sunday.  My SIL S is protesting and will not participate for some reason or another (these people are bats. :P)

I need to cut my nails, I can't type right anymore.  Tonight I'm going to do some henna.

bye for now.

I hope you feel better soon!  Take care. :-*

Dear Hair Diary,

Doing okay today.  I cute down my fingers nails and have hennaed bracelets on my wrists.  Hubbies been really nice to me through my mourning.   He let me henna him this afternoon.  I did a knights shield on his forearm.

Tomorrow is my party and I hope there's no fighting between Mum and S.  S is upset cause now her ex husband wants to lower the child support he's been paying (almost $3,000 a month for one child)  That's alot and S has been spending it wildly not saving so that's why she's pissed I think. Also she says we do not give her b-day parties!  What bull!  We did last year, I made her a homemade cake, got her flowers and all.  Mine you, she told me to take the cake home, of which is rude.  I though OK if you don't want it wait till I leave then break it up and feed it to the birds.  I wasn't that hurt bit now its strange that she says we did nothing for her b-bay. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/950/cleverman.gif  Like I said she BATS!  Don't worry, I'm not fretting over her stupid sh*t. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/aiw/boredom.gif

Otherwise I've kinda meloncoly at times but what can you do? Listen to the Smashing Pumpkins...loud.

bye for now

Dear Hair Dairy,

Had my party yesterday, the food was horrid :-/  It was really crappy sushi followed with a cake that had Splenda in the icing....ugh... :P  Even hubby was turned off.  I got some clothes and some bath stuff.  Mum and S fought as usual.  What else is new.

Have to wash my hair today and I will try out my new bath stuff as well.  Weve had lots of rain which helps wash away the snow.  Thing is I'll need a canoe to get to the laudery room on the other side of the house! :D

bye for now...

Dear Hair Diary,

Hairs been behaving, I’ve been experimenting with wearing it down.  I pulled the front back and make a braid and leave the rest loose.  I still bun it for house cleaning and working out.

Been doing lots of henna lately.  I did my wrists, my feet and the palm of my right hand.  Here’s a shot of my feet.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/22331106@N03/2281958846/

I know it’s only been a week since Bunnicula died but I am looking forward to another bunny.  I would really like a dog but we are not allowed to have them here. Nor would I get a cat with my budgie.  This is funny!  This morning at about nine o’clock, I was woken by something hitting my bedroom door.  Then I heard what I thought was my budgie.  I opened the door to see my budgie perched on a chair outside my door singing! It was so cute!

Did my workout today – core conditioning - whew its tough!  Advil time!  I find the dancing helps with my over all balance and makes me feel stronger.  I don’t think I will be getting the bellydancing lessions this year.  There’s just not enough money right now.  It’s the slow season for hubbies work which is such a bummer.  :P

Anyway I’m off!

Love the henna!  My hand would never be steady enough to do that to myself.  You did a great job.

Hubby had his snotty friend S over lastnight. >:(  Wish the guy would bathe! :P Now I have to spray the chair he sat in with Lysol... :P :-X :-* >:(

Today is food shopping day.  We have a super market that is bigger then a Lowes!  Its a workout to walk around it. :(

Anyway I'm off!

Dear Hair Diary,

Hairs been good, a little dry.  Todays the day I go to the hosptial :P  It's really far and with the snow I'll be out all day. :P Wish me luck. :'(

On other fronts we finally got my landlord to fix the kitchen faucet.  He brought his dog with him and it shed and drooled all over the house. http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0121.gif

I did some henna last night, pics to come!

I'm off! 8-)

Thanks Sweetie!  I've never been there before and the place is huge.  I do have a map of the place and will be packing water, gernoal bar, medications and a travel pillow.  I think the last time I was on a bus was 2003?

You probably will not read this until you get out of the hospital so I hope your trip there went well even though going to the hospital is never fun no matter what a person is going in for (I know because I am speaking from experience).

Jerry

Thanks Jerry!

Well it took a while but I got to the hospital okay.  The place is a maze, even with the map you can get lost.  Thankfully someone showed me to my shinks office.  He now has to share wth five other shrinks.  Gone is the nice office with leather chairs and lovely pictrues of India.  The room was small, cold and sterite.  We both were uncomfortable.  I could tell my shrink was not too happy with the situation an suggested he buy a house and run his practice from there.  Other wise everthing went good. :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

It’s been very dry and cold so I’ve been doing extra oilings.  I have also had to up my skin crème to the thicker Olay one. And have been layering on the Aveeno like mad.  

Been being razzed by nasty people lately… http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/b0/tomato.gif  I try to be nice to everyone I encounter but there are just some people who are born rotten!  It makes me sad and pissed off as well.  Hubbies been home early almost every day this week, of which has also had my nerves on edge.  Blah!  I wish I could go to a deserted island for a month and just relax…. Alone! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/s/asthanos.gif

Watched “The Taming of the Shrew” the other day and enjoyed all the nice snoods the ladies were wearing.  Make me want to get out my threads and make some more!

I'm in the middle of yet another ebay dispute...fun!

Anyway I'm off!

Poor Lisabelle. Deep breaths, girlfriend.

Sheesh, your husband seems to spend a lot of time in the doghouse. Now I think I understand why you like looking at other guys.  ;D
Men, eh?  :P

Waiting4longlocks - Very true!

Angel - Yeah there even a little house in the yard with his name on it. :D

Dear Hair Dairy,

Hairs been behaving I just wish my body would! :-[  I hurt my neck practicing spins and turns yesterday.  I was dizzy for hours.  I should have taken an T3.  So today is rest day, no housework just relax.  Hubbies working today which helps.

Well I'm off to relax! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/950/bird.gif

Yikes!!!  Spins are my weakest thing, which of course means I need to practice them more!  ::)

Try some heat and gentle stretching-don't let those neck muscles freeze up on you.  If you can get a chiropractic adjustment that would be a big help.  You don't want to lose range of motion in your neck!!!!!

I just got the nicest black silk veil from www.flyingskirts.com, its funny I suppose, I've been thinking about working on veil and spins.  I'll be careful!!!

BTW, you said you were dizzy after- did you unwind yourself??  That makes you undizzy faster.

Take care!!!

I gotta laugh or I'll scream!

Hairs been acting like a mean witch today so I bunned it up. Well at least the house work and the snow moving is done.

Sigh! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/b0/cobra.gif

OMG! :o  How did you do that?

OUCH :o


I hope you heal really fast.

Jerry

*groans*Oh, Lisabelle!  Your poor foot!!!  If you can get some arnica gel, it will help reduce the pain, swelling and bruising.  Yikes!!!

You are definately do for some really good stuff to come your way!!!

Yeeeeeee!  :o
Hope your toes heal soon!

Thanks everyone! :)  I walked into a coffee table http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/z/gusch.gif.  Foots feeling a little better today.  Stood off it yesterday.  This is like the tenth time I've done this.  Last time was on my 40th birthday.  My poor toes! :P

Oh my god, that must have hurt like a big dog!   :P  

Yeow!!!!  Feel better with those tootsie!

Dear Hair Diary,

Toes are feeling a little better today. Still sore as hell which makes walking a pain.  Washed my hair yesterday and did a clarify.  On the weekend I am going to do a coconut heat cap treatment.  This has been such a dry Winter. :P

Anyway I'm off to do one legged house work! ;D

I'm glad you're feeling somewhat better.  Don't work too hard doing your one legged house work and watch out for your toes! :D

Dear Hair Dairy,

My toes are doing okay.  My hip hurt like a big dog yesterday.  It was the frist time I had to take two advils in one day.  Talk about being stoned! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/k/jarswim.gif

I've been thinking about the old Renn Fest we use to have.  I wish we could have another one.  There's one in Ohio and one in Maryland which would be fun but I need passport, exit card blah blah blah.  Money would help too! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/u/heykitty2.gif

And now that my hair is longer and I lost weight I would look really nice.  Oh well, maybe someone will try an make another one, I hope. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/950/onion.gif

Anyway I going to get some more zzzz before starting my day http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/9971/deepsleep.gif

You get stoned from just 2 Advils? Oh honey...you would not survive in my shoes. LOL I have to take at least 3 to kill a headache. And there have been times where I've had to take 20 at once.  :o
   What really stones me out though? Benadryl. OMG...  :P

Anyway, hope your various ailing body parts recover soon and you're able to walk, dance, clean, etc. without any pain.

Thanks Angel!  I can get drunk off the wiff of a wine cork! ;D

Okay today I did my heatcap/coconut milk treament.  I'm all washed out and now in a snood.  I am trying to embrace my curliness.  So no combing :-[  If I do comb out my curl I get frizz. yuck!  I'm just afraid it will get all knoty.  Toes are better so I will do slow excerse today, man do I need a strech!

Anyway bye for now!

Dear Hair Diary,

Toes are back to normal :D  The bruising is starting to fade.  Now that I have embraced my curliness I can wear hairsticks!  Wooo hooo!  Hair has more texture now and is fuller!  

bye for now! 8-)

While it can be tough to figure out how to manage curly hair, it is really fun to have in my opinion.

I like your new avatar-I had to double check the name several times since this is so different color wise from your last.

I dig your new avatar too! Reminds me of my Irish ancestors of old...  ;)

Thanks Ladies! :D

Dear Hair Dairy,

Washed yesterday and my hair is so soft!  I did a emu oiling the night before wow it feels great!

And now for some sad news:

My SIL A's flat burned down there other night.  Thankfully they were not home, but there cat, Snack Bar, did not make it. :'( There staying with friends in city right now.  I've been gettng together clothes and stuff for them.  The poor things are to be married in September and now they have nothing. :'(  Fire is my worst nighmare, the fire was started by a child playing with lit candles on a bed.

Anyway I'm off.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL.  I think losing all of your belongings in a fire or any other disaster would have to be everyones worse nightmare, but in the end it's all just stuff (not including the pets, I know that's tough). Fortunately, they weren't hurt so eventually they'll come out okay.  You take care and try not to stress too much.

OMG, poor cat!!  :'(

And contrary to what La Diosa said, it most certainly is NOT all "just stuff" in the end. Having lived through several fire threats, I have had to prioritize belongings in terms of what I could bear to part with in an emergency and what I absolutely needed. Certain things cannot be replaced. Ever. So I can completely sympathize with the total devastation they must feel. That's a sucky way to start married life.  :(

I'll save a prayer for your SIL and her fiancé, Lisabelle. Hope they are able to recover and rebuild as much as possible.
   As for a silver lining, they will at least have a story to tell in years to come, and I'll bet they make something really wonderful out of nothing.

Wow, I didn't mean to come off as unsympathetic. :o  I believe what happened to them is absolutely horrible.  

I just feel that regardless of how much you love your "stuff", pets or even people for that matter, if a tradgedy happens and you lose something or someone that is important to you, life still goes on.  That's the beauty of life.  It's fine (and most likely necessary) to mourn your losses, but in the end it's necessary move ahead with life.  Yeah, some things can't be replaced.  However, how can anyone  ever be happy if we're continually sad over all that we've lost?  In this life nothing is forever.

I've lost my mother, grandmother, and grandfather all of whom I was extremely close to, but in the end, life goes on.

:'( Poor kitty.  How terrible.  I'm glad they weren't hurt.  They're really lucky to have you, Lisabelle.

Thanks ladies :)  Been a hard few days getting everything oranized.  A and B are doing fine and will be going to live with his family for awhile.  

I've just been phsicaly and mentally exsaused..... :P

This weekend is Easter dinner, I think I'll sleep through it.. :-[

I've lived through a housefire in which everything was lost, including my two cats and one of our dogs (and her seven puppies, who were only a week old(and were born on my birthday))... So my prayers are definately with your SIL and her fiance :( If you get a chance, give them a hug for me.


It's definately not 'just stuff'. Indeed life goes on, but... you still miss what you had... and at least for me, I'll never stop regretting the fact that I can't pass on my baby blanket and stuffed tiger to my future children (if I have any)... Maybe it was the fact that we were away at my great-grandmother's funeral, and got stuck in a snowstorm (and almost killed) on the way back, only to find our house and everything we had completely destroyed, but... Some things just scar you for life.

I hope your foot is feeling better, Lisabelle :/

Dear Hair Diary,

Well I've wahsed amd plopped my hair, man it needed it :P  My other sister-in-law's cat died, she had cancer. I swear this is the year all the family pets got there ticket. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/q/dissapprove.gif :'(
 I need to cut my nails, there like talons, I poked my left eye the other morning and cut the skin on the lid. :-[ Sorry I'm so down, just things have sucked lately.  I made a friend on a on-line game and even he pissed me off. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/q/depresse.gif

Note to self: Do not play on-line games with morons. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/aiw/beee.gif


Anyway I hope you all have a good Easter. :)

Aww, come here, Lisabelle (((((hugs)))))
Spring is here and something good will happen to you today!

Aww ((((((((Lisabelle))))))))))

I'm sorry about all the things you've gone through lately, Lisabelle.  I'm sure things will look up again soon.  (((Hugs)))



I guess I ruffled a few feathers with my "it's only stuff" comment.  I'm sorry I said it.  Whatever stance we take in regards to it (stuff), it's all a matter of personal opinion, and how we personally, choose to look at things. ;)

Thanks ladies! :)  La diosa, don't worry about it sweetie. ;)

Ahh... we did Easter dinner yesterday.  My neice stressed me out and punched me in my eye.... http://smilies.sofrayt.com/aiw/black-eye.gif.  So now I have a shiner.  My SIL was like she hit you then hit her back she has to learn.  So I hit her back, not hard or in the face.  Well little M cried for 20 minutes.  I was freaked http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/950/cleverman.gif, but her mother said she has to learn.  Needless to say I wanted to go home!

Today I'm going to de-stess and relax http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/9971/deepsleep.gif

OMG!!!, now you have a black eye!?! :o  Poor thing! :'(   You really do need to de-stress, relax and take it easy.  (((more hugs))) :)  

Even more messed up is that she didn't discipline her own child herself! WTF?!

That's not your job, Lisabelle.
Perhaps you should spend time/holidays away from your husband's family until they can all learn to behave.  :o

I know, this kid has no disicpline, she is as nurotic as her freaky mother! >:(  As for staying away till they learn to behave, that would be never.  His mother is a jeoulous cow!  We have the brats birthday party next week then we have to babysit the week after.  Someone please shoot me! :(

Dear Hair Diary,

Today is wash day.  I've been dpong the curly thing and I like it.  lastnight I did a S&D and was happy to find less splitends!  :D

My eye looks like I've been in a prize fight with Holifield. :P  Talk about fights, had a fight with the husband lastnight. :'( &^%$, I cannot stand him....

Anyway I'm off! :)

Sorry, Lisabelle. (((hugs)))

hugs!  Sorry about your "shiner".

Dear Hair Diary,

I washed my hair yesterday and today is bellydancing.  Yesterday after my shower my landlord called to say the ceiling under me was leaking.  This is an old problem with the houses structure.  My landlord is too cheap to have a plumber come in and  fix it.  So today he's coming by today to chalk the bathtub. :P  The smell of that stuff make me sick! :( And he makes me sick too... http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/k0/smashfreak.gif http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/k0/ameba.gif

My eyes feeling a little better which is good.  I think I will start my day early so I will not be disturbed when the Landlord comes over.

bye for now! :)

;D  Oh, Lisabelle...your hatred for your landlord is so profound that there really is nothing left to do but laugh.

Dear Hiar Diary,

Been practice doing herringbone braid, they come out nice!  Been having a rough PMS this month :P
Otherwise all is good besides being broke. :P  Got my doctor tomorrow.  Hs new office in the hosptial is really cold.  Even he doesn't like it poor thing. :-[

Anyway I'm off!

Congrats on your harringbone braid, Lisabelle!!  I hope to do a nice one on myself someday.  I'm just starting to get the hang of bringing a braid that I start at the back of my head over my shoulder to finish.  Maybe I should say I'm a work in progress.

Are your temps getting warmer yet up there in Canada?

Thanks Sweetie! :) Yep practice, practice!  Well it still a little cold, the snow is starting to melt.  This weekend I looked at my garden and its starting to come back.  My bonsai tree survied and is growing!  I am really happy as I thought it was dead.  Hopefully I can get more herbs and maybe some veggies and plant them this year. 8-)

Maybe you could post a pic of your braid, I'd love to see what a herringbone braid looks like. :)

Oh, Lisabelle, I forgot to tell you.  Some of my friends from the gym and I are going to get together on Tuesday afternoons at the gym and do bellydancing videos together.  I wish you could join us.
I've ordered a few new DVD's-if they're any good I'll let you know!

That sounds like fun Sakina.  I'd like to know which DVD's you got as well.  I just purchased a DVD called Fantasy Bellydance: Desire.  I only half looked at it though.  I need to watch it again to see if I like it or not.

Hi Ladies!

La Diosa!  Here a pic of a herringbone braid
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a90/Lisabunnie/herring6.jpg

That's not me thought LOL!  It a hard braid to make look good.

Sakina the DVD's sound like fun!  I wish I could come too! 8-)

Dear Hair Diary,

Yesterdays trip home from the doctors was crazy!  The bus was 1 1/2 hours late and then arrived packed like a sardine can!  I am still sore from be squished by people.  It felt like a Roman orgy, we all had to hold on to each other on the turns. Talk about dangerous!

I ran out of my med so I'm stoned... :P  Will get them tonight (thank god!)  

Hair's doing good....Got a hair insult from my bastard landlord - he said your hair looks so dirty -  >:(  I had just wash it the day before and well he can shove his comment!

Anyway I'm off to lay down. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/9971/deepsleep.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

Today was my nieces 4th birthday party.  They had people come in with animals from a pet store to let the kids pet them. Snakes, lizards, a puppy, genue pig and a bunny.  I got to hold the bunny, who was a velvety soft brown Rex.  I teared up as I kissed his head. :'(  I nearly traded my car for that bunny.  sigh...

Anyway hairs doing great.  Hubby gave me a great hair completment today.  He said mine was the most healthies, most pretties hair out of all the mums at the party. ::)

Otherwise I'm flat broke, phones been cut off, which is good in a way - no bill collector calls!

Bye for now http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/b0/togo.gif

Thanks for posting a pic of that braid for me.  I couldn't even imagine how to do a braid like that.

The nerve of your landlord! >:( He can go you know where with his comments.  Where does he even get off making a comment like that anyway?  Besides, I'm sure your hubby knows best and your hair was the prettiest and most healthy of all of the mothers. ;)

I hope you get your meds and feel better soon. (((hugs)))

Thanks Sweetie!  I have my meds now (thank god).  If you go here http://www.dreamweaverbraiding.com/Braiding_Tips.htm  you can see how the braid is done.  

Dear Hair Diary,

Hairs doing good. I've been finger combing to help prevent knots.  I'm on the libaries wait list to take out Curly Girl.  I've been enjoying waring my hair down. ;)

Anyway it's 6:30 time to wake up the husband  ::)

Thanks for posting that link, Lisabelle.  I could never do most of those braids though, they look too difficult for me to even attempt.  Although, once my hair gets longer, it might be fun to try some of the easier looking ones.

Dear Hair Diary,

Been busy!  Poor hubby smashed his hand and cracked his knuckles.  :-[ :-X :P :'(  So I've been helping him with stuff like dressing and all.  He's still working, bless him!

Hairs been good, just trying to find a way to fingercomb with cause knots (ouch!)

Anyway, just wanted to check in!

bye for now! :)

I hope hubby's feeling better soon!  Maybe some henna on his hands will help them heal.  :-X

Dear Hair Dairy,


Washed my hair today and now it all curly :)  Did my dancing and had lots of fun, cleaned the house, washclothes...man I'm pooped!

Babysat on the weekend, little Morgan is still begin very difficult.  Its sad to see her mother just leaves her for days and goes off like that.  I wonder how she's going to do that when she has the next one in July?  Truly I beleive her to be nuts.

Anyway, the sun is shining, the birds are tweeting and Spring is sprung!

Sakina:  I tried the Henna and it helped hubbies hand! :D

Wow, actually, I was joking.  I'm really glad it helped though!

Sakina wrote on Apr 14^th, 2008 at 7:07pm:

Heheh!  Yes!  The henna gets cold and helps bring down the swealing! 8-)

Lisabelle, your response confused me because I wasn't aware that henna had healing properties, but I get it now. ;D

When Sakina mentioned it, I thought she meant that it might help his mood or something...which could possibly work too... I guess. :D

Henna is used for headaches in India, the cooling sensation helps the with the pain.  In Saudi the women do the soles of there feet to protect them form the hot desert sand along with there hands and palms in on solid glove. :)
This is great for arthritis too! :)  What I did with hubby was place a thick layer of unterped henna on his sore knuckes, put a construction glove on him and he washed it off in the morning. 8-)

You're so clever!  If henna is not terped, does it not leave a stain?

I'm glad hubby's hand is better.

Thanks :) It did leave a stain unterped just not a strong one.  Beside hubbies hands are always black with floor stain so it sort of blended in! ;D

Dear hair Diary,

I did an S&D yesterday.... I found it hard to do on curly hair!  I had to comb out my curls to get a good look at the ends...ouch!

Today is break day, I've been cooking, cleaning, working out and god knows what!  I'm just going to realx and do my facial today, and perhaps play with my hairtoys and hair.  I should go visit Bunnies grave, thing is I cry like a baby when I go there. :-[ :'(  I was thinking of getting a guenie pig, they had one at Morgans 4th b-day party and it was so cute! Sigh... :P

Anyway I'm off!

Dear Hair Diary,


Yawn!  It 6:30 in the morning...Blahh!  Hairs still in a bonnet and I'm blery eyed. :P Its hard to sleep when hubbies alarm clock goes off and he's snoring up a storm >:(  Today I am going to go though my hair toys and play a bit.  Now that I can use hair sticks I will dig them out! 8-) ::)  Hennaed my feet yesterday, there starting to darken up!

Blah... that's it for now! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/9971/deepsleep.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

I'm having fun with the curl lotion I got from La Coup. 8-)  I found it works best of I dampen my hair down with a sprizter bottle first then spray on the lotion, scrunch and put on a snood for 15 mintues or so till it dries.  I just hope I do not dry out my hair with this stuff!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sad0011.gif

Oh here's the henna I did on my feet!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/22331106@N03/2423372796/
Today I did my boobs in a pattern that is similar.  Sorry no pics!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/ashamed0007.gif ::) heheh!

Hubbies hand is getting better, apperently he broke a few knunkles! :P  That hasn't stopped him (if you know what I mean)http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/ashamed0002.gif

Right now he has a throat infection so I'm going to make him a herbal drink that will help kill off the bactiria and soothe his throat.  It tastes horrid but it works!


Anyway its almost bedtime!
bye for now  ;)

Very pretty hennaed feet!!!  I was at Kim's website yesterday, her work is gorgeous!

Poor hubby, broken knuckles.  Ouch!!!

Dear Hair Diary,

Washed my hair today and it came out great!  I need to NOT comb it when its dry.  I have the urge to do it then wind up with knots (Bad Girl!) http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0235.gif  The frizz stuff I got is okay, would like to get something more organic.

We racked up at a garage sale on the weekend!  Of all the neat stuff we got I found a carpet sweeper and hubby got a new, in the box Braun shaver!  The one that clean dries and charges itself. 8-)  I alway thought a man should how a good razor, the bill was still in the box, $230!  :o

Weathers been great!  The garden in going fab! I took my bonsai tree out fthe ground and it nice and green and growing! 8-)

Today I made some Lotions Bars!  There soild hand creme and are very neat.  It was like making soap and fun.  They came out pretty good!

Bye for now! 8-)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Hairs nice and curly today, I love the volume it has and all the stuff I can do with it!  Viva curls!

I got a pediometer hehheh!  So I 've been using it on my walks, it's neat!  I got it at that awsome garage sale in the weekend.  

Lastnight was hilarious!  I went to put out the garbage and there was three raccoons on the dumpster waiting of me.  They jumped down ran up to the bag and grabbed it from me! ;D  I'm like Hey! Don't I get a tip!  LOL!!!
I am thankfull we don;t have to take our trash to the dump. If you live up north you do and have to bring a rifle with you because of the bears!   :o

Got lots to do today, bye for now! ;)

Dear Hair Dairy.

I washed my hair today.  I let it go over a week this time and did a clarifying shampoo. I'm still looking for Jason Hemp shampoo in the stores up here with non luck. :P  I feel I need more mosture in my hair.  Everytime I see people with dryed out hair in stores and stuff I just cringe!  :P  Have lots of split ends lately. Did a S&D lastnight, there was hair everywhere.  

I found that my hubbies new razor is awesome for doing my legs! :D Heheh no more rashes!! I got some neat bra's yesterday.  It hard to find my size in anything that doesn't look like it belongs to Nana!  ;D  I got a red one with fishnet details and another in red tarten.  I put on the tarten one and ran around the house yelling "Scotland!" much to hubbies delight! ::)

Well its latenight tea time, bye for now! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/x/coffeecup.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

Washed my hair yesterday, I had did a oil treatment the day before and it came out great!

My nerves are still bugging me a bit. :P  Sorry I haven't posted as much latley :-[  That Aveeno Auto Bronzer is awesome!  My skin is so smooth and now nice and tan.  I have found the joys of and electeci razor!  NO more cuts, bumps or rashs.  I would like to thank Braun for making and awsome product!

Yawn!  Well I'm off! 8-)

Glad you're happy with Aveeno and Braun!  I picked up Loreal Sun Glow for the first time for Fair Skin.  Used it twice and it's pretty good.  No orange color or bad smell.  I think I'd like to try the Aveeno next time though!  Does it come in Fair Complextion?

Dear Hair Diary,

I've been trying to keep myself calm during this taxing time I'am having with hubby (he has midlife crisis) I did not know it could happen at age 44 but there it is. :-[ :'(

I have been looking after my hair.  I did an emu oil treatment tonight.  I found I have to use Frizz ease and Curl defines on my hair or it looks like a mop. :-X  However I clariy once a week and wash once a week.  It does look s nice with the curls and I make pin curls at the sides of my head for an added cute look. ::)

Anyway it almost 1:00

Good nite Ladies ;)

Still chugging along.....trying my best everyday.
