Just to let ya`s know this is Lisabelle under her new name Isabeau :)


Dear Hair Diary,

Since I had log in trouble I haven`t been able to post.  We went to A`s wedding this weekend in Georgian Bay up north. We had fun, the husband got drunk ;D.  The food was great and A looked lovely.  I got tons of hair complements! :D The rose crystel clip ( see my other diary Lisabelle`s hair Quest) out shined all other hair toys.  One strange thing happened, the husband had a say in how I wore my hair.  He did not like the look of a french twist and had his mother do a half up half down style on me.  So I had half up in a bun and half down. I placed the rose clip through the bun.

The weathers been so damp my hair will not dry.  I washed it when we got home this afternoon and tis still damp.  I got tomorrow off work so I will do the laudery and clean the mess I am sitting in right now.

bye for now!

Congrats on your new journal.  I'm glad you had a good time at the wedding!  Did you get any pics of your hair??

Thanks love!  We got a few pics.  Mind my camera was acting strange so we used my sister-in-laws camera so i have to wait for her to email the pics. Hopefully that will not take too long :)

Dear Hairy Diary,

It was a intresting yet stressful day.  I saw my shrink and told him of the past month including the husband stuff.  The doctor wants to meet him, I don't now if that is a good idea.  

Anyway my hair is doing good.  I did a S&D to find only two spit ends! :)  I just oiled my hair with parachute coconut oil and am going to bed.  Alot of stress latley makes me very tiered.

Bye for now.

Probably not a good idea unless the two of you are deciding to work things out.  Although, it's odd that he never requested to meet him before. :-?

I'm still not used to your new name...I hope you don't mind if it takes me awhile. :)

Hi Love :)  The shrink has asked to see the husband before but I have never brought him.  I talked with the Husband and he wants to meet him.  I think the shrink can set him straight on some issues that we are having.

Hehe as for my new name not to worry!  I have many on-line names.  Just call me Lisa :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Washed my hair today and it came out great.  :) I noticed allot of neat updo’s on the bus ride home tonight.  My boss has long hair too, abet dyed reddish brass.  I caught her looking at my hair...hmmm I saw a bit of envy there. ::)  My hair is longer than hers, she likes updo’s I noticed.  Tonight for work I put back the front in an O clip and twisted the back into to ropes and clipped it back with a floral and crystal clip.  :)

Well I am bushed so I am off to bed.  ;)

Dear Hair Diary,

Life is funny..when everything goes nuts like yesterday at least my hair looked great!  8-)  The day started with an eviction notice from my landlord, proceeded with missing the bus to work, carried on withtthe fact that I need another Job as my boss is insane and ended with mssing the bus yet again then coming home late and having to wait for a huge skunk to leave my gabarge area before I could get into the house.  What a day! :P

Whoa!  (((((hugs)))))!  I like your positive attitude.  A good hair day makes everything OK!

Aw, honey, that certainly was a terrible day.  *hugs*  
But I thought you liked your boss--is this the lady with long hair who you've spoken of?  And what's with the eviction notice?!  *hugs again*  It'll be okay, you'll see.  Hang in there.

Aw,(((hugz)))))  it'll be ok,remember one door closes another one opens!

Thanks Gals!   :)

Trisha, my boss is a nit picker of sorts.  She makes me nervous and I mess up my work.  Mind I am getting better at it! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

I had a bit of a hair accident today. :-[  I was making a braid on the top half of my head when I got a small knot and yanked it a little too hard as I was in a hurry to get to the bus.  Out came a small chuck lof hair... :-/  Yikes!  I saved it in my shedding box but man that was scary!  Anyway it came out really nice, it was the half up braided bun Sakina did. :)  I put in some japanese hair toys and it looked great!  :D

Again I noticed alot of neat updo's on the way home on the bus.  Seems updo's are in! Tomorrow is my day off so I am going to sleep in and be lazy!

bye for now :)

Ouch!!!  With curly hair you have to be extra careful when braiding or you get knots!!  I'm glad your 1/2 up braided bun turned out great, of course Kanzashi makes hair happy!

Enjoy your day off!!!!!

I did! ;D  Yeah, have to be more careful :-/

Dear Hair Diary,

Washed on Saturday and been doing some interetsting updo's.  Been having fun with my Haragami.  Been feeling awful today so I am staying home from work tonight.  I am just going to rest, I should be good for tomorrow night.  I hate calling in sick....

I noitice that when I am ill my hair refects it.  I looks dull. :-/

anyway off to bed with me!
 

Get well soon, Lisa.  :-*

Feel better soon,hon!

Thank Angel and Curly!  I am feeling alot better now 8-) I had some awful dizzy spells which have now passed, thank god!  My medication brings these on once in awhile also my sicatica pitches in as well :P  I had one at work the other day but was able to handle it.

Dear Hair Diary

I'm feeling even more better today! :) I am doing my beauty ritual right now...having a nice cocolate mud pack :)  Been thinking of the things I must do to prepare my hair and skin for the Winter months.  Since I take the bus five times a week and at night as well I have been going over my hats and scarves.  I made a nice belclava last year and will be using that.  It's cute! It looks like chainmail :)  Also I need a pair of Thinsulated gloves, they cost alot but are worth it!  My winter coats are still good, so no need to get another one. I need to also get boots.  I have stocked up on Jojoba and emu oil and coconut milk.  It is so very dry up hre in the winter.  I see so many people with long hair that looks like a broom! :P

Say I got that kiss my Face night creme and love it...so I got the day creme...it is really good!! Work well with make up too.  Plus I get it from 3 bucks at work which is a bonus! I love employee discounts... Hehe...thinking of work...my boss had been wearing some interesting hair toys..neat barrettes and stuff.  Wish she saw me in the Kanzanshi the other day ;)  I got on made by an artist who us in his 80's and makes them for Geisha...ah Ebay!  Not to worry she will see some neat stuff and who knows...she might loosen up with me! :) ::)

Cannot wait to get the wedding pics to show ya'll my hair and dress.  Happly "the roommate" is not in any pics with me.  I have come to accpet that yes we are roomies and am getting more and more comfortable with it.  I do not have much interest in him and well we do our own thing, no fighting and this is good. :)  Ah...peace!!

Anyway I am off one more day of work then two days off!  hhehe!!  On to my next mask...powdered rose petals and yoghert! Heaven..... 8-)

Dear Hair Diary,

I wore my haragami lastnight to work.  I did a bun and then put the rest of the hair into the bun so It was a pony tail/bun thing.   I got lots of complements :)  hehe all from men btw... ::)  Wore my new bangles, got them from the Punjab lady at the gas station.  I love them, there so light I can wear them to bed with no worries.  I do take them off to shower as I do not want to ruin them.

Got to days off!!  So I am off to go shopping!!!

Dear Hair Diary,

I had a great day off!  Me and a friend went to the Six Nations Reserve. :)  On the way we stopped at Carluke Orchards and had apple scones and apple cider.  I got an apple cinniom candle that smells divine!  At the Res we had home cooked food and met with some native friends.  The drive up the mountain was beautiful as the tree as all turning red and yellow :)  We had such a good time I did not want to leave.  Wish I did not as all I have to come home to is a cranky man I do not love...  Ever here the song My Immortal by Evanences?  It's how I feel.... :-[

Anyway, I have been practicing with my Hair kimono...it takes time to learn but its fun!  Today I wore a double bun using two Haraigamis and put one of my rose clips on the side.  Well tomorrow I am back to work. :P  No rest for the wicked!!!

Sorry to hear that.  I'm sure it's difficult living in that situation.  How's the apartment search coming?

Thanks love.  I really do not now as he doesn't talk to much. :P  I checked out a few mayself..nothing worth 900 a month... :-/  So the quest continues...

Dear Hair Dairy,

Ah a day off from the grind!  8-) Mind its not a bad job, just not enough training and a looney boss.  Put my hair in a oragami double bun. I have a black one and blonde colored one.  The blonde one makes for a good contrast :)

My neck and back have been acting up a bit.  Need to find time to see the Quake! ;D When I get on and off the bus I feel like a 90 year old.

Oh jeez...have you ever been doing your hair in public and find that a pervert is watching you?  I am not going into detail but I was taked my hair down at the bus stop the other night and I was being watched by a man who...well ewwww!  Sorry folks..  guess it could be a complement... :P

Anyway I am off!

Dear Hair Diary,

Hairs nice and curly today.  Aunt Flo is hear right now, this time she brought dizzy spells with her.  Man I cannot what till it all stops!  

The mother-in-law is coming over today to have her car worked on... :P  I do not like having people in the house when I am getting ready for work.  I told the creep that I will not entertain her as I need to get ready and if I miss my bus I will be late and get fired.  He nows so if she starts on me I will just ignore her...jeez I wish these people wouls just get out of my life....

Anyway I am off! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Cool! I will try to get the other one I want called Love.  ;)

Had dinner with a friend tonight.  We had a pesto, mushroom, goat cheese pizza at a really swanky place. They watiers were a bit snobby..oh well!

Anyway I am off, got to work tomorrow!

:-*

I hate the Geek Squad. They charge waaaay too much!
But I still desperately want a lap top,l even if they're troublesome.

Do you have any pictures of the dolls? They're probably adorable and I wanna see them XD!!

Hi AmandaC :)  Yes I think I should just have a local guy fix my laptop.... Ah the Harajuku dolls!  You can see them here...http://www.hlfragrance.com/#/about/1  :D

Dear Hair Diary,

Got some Nutra Cap hair and nail vitamins yesterday.  And extra treat!  Did a bit f a S&D need to do some more later.  

Had a hell of a time at work lastnight.   My boss started blaming me for everthing that went wrong.  She has me going on circles..the @#$%.  I was crying and she just ignored me. :'(  She left at 6:30 so I went on my break at 7:00... Well the shop stewart saw me upset and ask me what was wrong and I told him what she was doing to me.  He went wild and has filed a complant about her!! :o So she is in trouble big time!!!He wants to get her dismissed.  I say good! I do not pay 20 buck's a paycheck to be in a Union for nothing.  You see she will not train me prorperly then yells at me for mistakes....and my review is on Monday.. :P  

Sigh...anyway I am off...wish me luck!

I hope the troubles with your boss are resolved soon.  *hugs*

Good luck getting everything straightened out at work, Lisa.

Trisha, Angel:  Well yesterday was suppose to be the review...se hadthe papers there and did them but said nothing to me.  Mind she was a little nice...uniion must have given her crap.  she got me really nervous ordering sme glasses for a customer.  The customer even compained that she was not helpful at all!  So we shall see....thanks ladies :)

Dear Hair Diary,

I have been wearing my hair straight, I should do my coconut heat cap treatment soon.  I need to rest! my back's been killing me... Plus stress with work and that creep of a husband.... :-/  I have two days off of work so I will try to make the best of them.   You now I got a book form the library to help me with dealing with the husband.  The book was very good and I followed its guide lines of being kind and repectful to him as I would like him to be to me.  Thing is he has made very little effort on his part.  He expects me to change overnight and not be upset that he is acting like a ass.  It's hard and I told him I am stressed out big time.  I do not think he understands.  :-X

Anyway life goes on...
I am going back to bed!

*hugs*

You can't change him, hon. You can change yourself, your mind and your situation, but you can't change other people. Accept this and move on.

Dear Hair Diary,

Been cold here at night all the time now.  Winter is on the way!  Got all my laundery done and slept alot!  ;D Right now I am giving myself a facial and relaxing, got the Shopping Channel on! :)

My hair decided to keep it center part today... :P  Need to re-train it.  I washed it and did not do any curl activator again.  Want to give my hair a break from that stuff.  Not that it is bad or anything.

Was drooling at the new Longlocks sticks.   All these years and I never bought some.  I should save my allowence and get some for my birthday in Feburary.  A friend of mine is making me a a box for my more delicate hairtoys.  He does stained glass so he doing it in milky pink glass with a mirror on the bottom inside.  This person also makes really nice windows for people. :)

Well I am off to eat my veggie lagazna :)

Dear Hair Diary,

I was a rainy day... ;D  Been praticing with my Hair Kimono, making a little progress.  Been watching updo video's on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq8SgFFwi_g  Check this ladies hair out!  She has a group of neat how to videos.  


Got a lovley brown rose clip for my hair at the dollar store, should go good for work.  I got fed up with my hair being straight so I put in my curl activator and have it up drying right now.  I will sleep on it and be all curly in the morning. :)

:)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Hairs been doing alright, nice and curly :)  I am getting a transfer at work!  No more optical!  I am now going to be in the bakery!  Ah right up my alley! I still will keep and eye out for the cosmetics dept as well.  

Woot got another bottle of Harajuku Lovers purfume...I got Love :)  So now I have Music and Love. 8-)  The other smell to much like candy on me.

There is a man who loves me very much and has for quite some time.  I just found out about it lastnight...  He is a nice guy but I do not want an relationship with him, not now.    Still he wants to be my friend and freindship is all I can give him.  He understands..mind you the tears in his eyes were painful to see... :'(

Well, today I am going to a garage sale, hope I find some neat stuff :)

bye for now  ;)

Aww, Lisa. Sorry about your sitch with your guy friend. I'm in the same boat, actually. Maybe he thought that since you & your husband are no longer on good terms, that now was the time to make his move. Men are so thick-headed!  :P  It's cool that you were able to stay friends with him, but remember that his opinions will always be biased because of his feelings for you. And remember that he will always have ulterior motives.

Congrats on the transfer at your work. The bakery sounds like it could be fun.  :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Well my hair is getting a heat trearment in the morning and then I am going to forget the world exists and just pamper myself.  The creep is going to his mothers so I will be alone and at peace (personally I think the man is insane but I will save that for my other diary.)   I worked today, the store was packed with people getting there Thanksgiving food.  I got to do some eyeglass repairs.  I was given some funky coloured contacts from the optician.  I got violet, blue and one called sunrise.  There so nice and soft!  Mind they do not fit well and move around a bit, but there fun to wear for a few hours.:)

Well it two in the morning and I am off to bed!

Yay-rah for the transfer at work--I hope the bakery dept. is kinder to you.   :)  *hugs*

I have a friend who has really coarse hair, it's salt & pepper and the grey is pretty rough.  Also being a guy he does not use conditinor ::) He once used my shampoo and loved it.  So I am giving him my Giovanni set.  My hair is way too fine for it.  He had wanted my other shampoo but I could not give it to him as I needed it lol! He was blown away to see how expensive they are.  Mind I now were to get them a cheaper :)

My back was killing me lastnight.  I had to take tylonal 3....ewwww!!!  Still feel a little high lol!!  

Well I am off to take a nap!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians! :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Hair is looking fab!  I made a autume hair toy today :)  I took some smalll material maple leaves I got from a friend and glued them with a glue gun to a clear hair comb.  It looked really nice and I got some complements. 8-)  Sorry I cannot post pics as my camera is gone... :-/

Today I had Tie food fot the frist time ever.  I loved it!  There deep fried tofu and the peanut sause was awesome! I had a rice dish with chicken and shrimps to die for!  My friend gave me his shrimps which were grilled and on a stick, he dose not eat seafood.  The palace was called Sigon and the portions were huge!  We got to go back in the winter and get some 5 alarm kim chi :)

I saw my shrink today and all went well.  He agrees with me on marriage matters and that I should move on.

I was invited to a dance at the Moose club friday night...should be fun!  Man it has been really cold at night here. I took down my tomatoe plants and cut down some of the herbs.

We I am off :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Yawn!  I am tired today... :P  Saw my shrink yesterday and gave him the low down on everything.  He thinks it is a good idea to just carry on with out the husband as I have no choice.  He says to take it slow with new relationships and I am doing so.   Something tells me he might move in with his friend D.  I say good! I can get help paying my rent.  I am alot happier when he is not around.  He does not say much to me anymore, Hi and bye...No fights or arguments.  However he will suffer...garentued...

Well this week I see when I start in the bakery at work ;)  Oh got my hair up in a gibson girl today, looks cute :)  For work I will be in hair nets all the time and that suits me just fine :)

Anyway I am off to get more sleep :)

I did my hair so cute tonight I do not want to take it down!  Using a Topsytail I did a inverted updo.  So cute!! I wore my crown hairtoy pulled out some side and back curls and woot!  I love it!  I had had the Topsytail tool for years waiting be able to do that do! ;D

A hairtoy with autumn leaves sounds so nice and creative! :D

I hope you have fun at the dance.  Around here, I see signs posted for dances outside of those lodges all of the time. :)

I have to say that I hope that your ex does move.  It'll help to both of you to move on sooner that way.

Dear Hair Diary,

Well my hair is looking good.  Washed it the other day.   Been so stressed out.  I have to move, I cannot be with my ex anymore.  Part of me is sad the other part is glad.  Strange.. Apartment prices are very high...  

Say a prayer for me folk...i really need it now. :'(

Thank you all...

I hope everything works out for you, Lisa. (((hugs)))

Angel and Sakina, Thank you so much :-*

Dear hair Diary,

Been sick today.  I am going to my GP tomorrow.  I've been getting dizzy spells a week before my period. It happened last month and I thought it was a fluke.  But this month it has hit with a vengance. Thank the lord I had a few days offs from work.  I a feeling a little better now but before I could not raise my head.  

I have kept my hair in a braid and it has gone all greasy... :-[  This is not the time in my life to have medical problems.... :'(  Life is hard enought right now...

*hugs* Feel better soon, Lisa. http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0054.gif

Aw, hope you feel better soon, Lisa.  *hugs*

Get well soon, Lisa!!!

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks ladies :)

Well the doctor says I have an inner ear infection and has me on gravol and Betahisitine.  Yuck!  I found that the ex wanted to move out.  I was not amused as I cannot afford this place alone.     My friend P want me to move in with him and share a place.  I do not want to live with him..I will not go there right now....

Anyway I should be off to bed.  The ex is getting himself drunk infront of his computer... :P

bye for now

Dear Hair Diary,

Feeling better today.  I looked on Craig list and found a room for rent that I can afford!  I will call the guy and make an appointment to see it.  Hope it's alright.  We shall see.   What sux is loosing alot of my posseions in the move.  I cannot take all of it with me - sounds like dieing... :P  Well in a way it is as I will have a new life.  The most important is winter clothes..  Must take my warmest coats and stuff.  Oh man this is not fun, but better then being with him for sure.

bye for now

I'm glad you're feeling better today. :)

Have you thought of or looked at any studio or efficiency apartments?  I lived in one for 2 years.  Prior to that, I was living with a deadbeat roomate.  When I moved out, I needed a smaller less expensive place so I could have an opportunity to restore my credit. :P  Anyway, it was a really cute apartment and the rent was cheap.  They're small of course, but larger than a room, so you'd be able to keep more of your stuff, and it's private.  If you already haven't, I'd look into one if I were you.  I'm not sure how much apartments are there, but where I lived, you could find pretty affordable studio's in nice areas.  

At anyrate, I hope you can find a nice, affordable place to call home.  Good luck with your search!

Thank you love :)  I have found a place for 90 a week.  I have to see it tomorrow.  I hope it will be alright for me.  I went to a Help Center today and they were very nice to me.  We even prayed and it was good.  Wish me luck :)

Best of luck, Lisa. If not with this place, then with another affordable place where you can feel comfortable.

Thank you Trisha :)  And would like to thank all my friends here at Longlocks.  You have been a loving suportive group.  The place turned out to be a dive.  It was all men too, so it was not for me.  Hopefully I will find some place to go.  I will keep you all posted

Dear Hair Diary,


Hairs not been very happy.  I guess it refects my mood.  That time of the month does not help.  I went to work today and did good, mind I had to take a advian but I did all right.    That place I mentioned was not for me...ewww.

I got in contact with an old friend today.  I had not seen her in ages and she had been trying to call me but my # has changed.  I was so happy to talk to her.  I missed her so much, I know she will stand by me :)

It been sooo cooled!!  Been oiling hair and creaming my skin.  Froze at the bus stop!  Now I am under a fleece and soon I will go to bed.

bye for now :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

I did a nice clarify the other day and my hair is alot happier.  Being sick and having a bad period plus other worries realy made my hair feel and look like poop.  My hair grew and inch! http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0100.gif

Dear Hair Dairy,

Had a very good hair day and nite!  The weather has been foggy and a bit humid and my hair loves it. :)
Life's been getting better, slowly but surly. ::)

Bye for now:)
 

Ooh, I know what you mean.  I love the way that my hair feels when it's humid out. :D

It's good to know that things are turning around for you! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Hairs been acting strange...I have been using the geovanni frizz serum and my hair hates it.  So I got the John Freda one and will use it today.  

Okay ladies I have met my future husband.  Hands down this is the one!  Never have a known such a man in my life.  God knows I have waited for this man all my life.  This is him :)   http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a90/Lisabunnie/Hair/n609645454_3733593_6063.jpg
 
His name is Donald and I could write all day about him!  He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.  I met him on a match making service.  Now I do not like using the Match Maker cause there's alot of creeps out there.  Don letft me a message I read his profile I was interested but I was so busy it took me a week to get back to him.  We finally met at a Tim Hortons for our "First Date" Don is a funny guy and we hit it off.  Loads have happend since our frist meeting. http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0031.gifPinch me for I am flipping dreaming!!  I have met his family he has two grown childern and two brothers. Don is the oldest at 43.

As for the ex...he know about Don and there @#$% all he can do about it.   If you want to see more check out my face book :)http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1621688688&v=info&viewas=1621688688
I wish I met him 20 years ago for he is the most wonderful man on this world.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0020.gif

Hehhe!  later....http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/winking0004.gif

Well, how much of a hunk is he?!   8-)  I'm very happy for you, Lisa.  I'm toasting you with a mug of tea and wishing the two of you many happy days together.   :)

Hehhhe!  A major Hunk!! Thank you so much Trisha :)

YAY, Lisa!  I'm sooo happy for you.  Please keep us posted!  :-*

I was thinking, since your hair wasn't liking the frizz serum that you might need to clairify.

Aww, Lisa...congrats on finding somebody you click with. :)

So are you using an online dating service? I was having dinner last night with some people who have tried it and they say it's a lot of fun.

Lisa, your new beau reminds me of some celebrity...I just can't put my finger on it....   :-?

Thank you Midnight Angel :)  Yes I used a sight called Plenty of Fish.  It was not easy finding Don, he contacted me and I am content with him. He is a PRINCE!! :) ;)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Last night I put in some coconut oil as a treatment.  I need to do these more often.  I did some henna on my hand lastnight, a little treat Don as he loves India culture.  I am very happy he does and he has taken me to an awesome
Sweet shop were I got to eat some Glam Jams (Milk balls in honey) they were so good!  Don loves his food and I cannot wait to cook for him!  Got to show this man the meaning of good food...!!!!!   http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0016.gif  Mind you keeping up with him is not easy.  He is a scorpio and always on the move.  We have a function to go to this weekend and I am spazing on what to wear!  I do not have alot of fancy clothes but I hope I can find something.   He also want to take me to a fantasy party!! OMG! ;D

Bye for now :)

hehehe Lisa....you're such a man magnet. ;) ;D

And what, pray tell, is a "fantasy party"? :o

Good grief, I should read more slowly.  --I thought that said a FANCY party!!   ;D

I attribute my magnetism to my hair!  Don loves to play with it and had gotten me some cute hair toys.  He is a pony tail fan but....does not like my hair up..I say tuff cookies!  http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0011.gif

A Fantasy party is on of those sexy underwear and toy party.  I was invited by his brothers wife.  I near died when Don said he would be there too!  (oh how embrassing!!)  ;Dhttp://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/ashamed0003.gif

Good grief, I should read more slowly.  --I thought that said a FANCY party!!  
LMAO!!

Here are the hairtoys Don has gotten me so far:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a90/Lisabunnie/Hair/004.jpg

The little hearts and butterflys are made of Femo and are soft and flexable :)  I have also tough him the fine art of removing a ladies hair decorations before ummm bed.  It is similar to a scene from the movie "The Last Emporer" when he undress his new bride starting with her hair decorations.  Heheh! no complains there. ::)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Hi Ladies and Gents!!  I am on another computer right now as mine died and had to go back to the shop. :P  I have been having a ball with my boyfriend, haven't been home in a week!  ;D

My hair has been suffering due to wear hats...man it cold here!!  And of course my man handling it alot.  I should do a scritch and a wash today.  Did a S&D the other day while out in the two truck (My guy drives a CCA tow truck)  It fun since I am a car nut I love going out with him on his job. 8-)  

Wensday was my guys birthday, he turned 43  ;)  I got him some Calvin Klein "Crave" colonge, a pare of Armani sunglasses and I have him a very speical ring I had.  He was over the moon!  His friends took him out for beer and ribs and we all had a great time. 8-)

Anyway I do not know when I will be in-line again but I will try and pop in as much as I can.  I will be moving soon as well.

Love you all!

Lisa

*waves*  Good luck with the move, Lisa.  Happy Holidays!!!!

Its great that you're having such a good time! :)

Thanks Sakina and La Doisa!

Dear Hair Diary,

I gave my hair a trim, it needed it really bad.  Took about 1/4 inch off.  Hair feels alot better now. :)  Don's been buying me tons of hair toys.....I am going to kill him!  lol!!!  I come home from work to find dinner made and hair toys around my plate!  Oh do not worry he gets spoiled back just as bad. ::)  and I love him to death and thank the Gods for him every day! (Did I say this guy is a wiccan like me btw! He cast a major protection spell on me and I on him.)

On a more yucky note the Ex and I have to figure out who is moving out frist.  Frankly, I want to go first at least by January 09.  The other night I came home and found the he has dividied up our DVD collection without asking me.  I was not impressed... When he got home I asked him about it and he opened his boxes and let me take what I wanted saying he did not want me to be angery with him. :o  So I am getting my butt kissed so to speak.  Huh, wait till I ask for the bed and sofa... it's a trade for the car....   I already asked for my Budgie bird and he said ok. There is no flipping way I am leaving that poor bird with him.  I was in shock when I saw he was packing and called Don. I feel so bad as he does not deserve this drama but he calms me and made me feel better.  It hurts me to hear the pain in his voice, he supports me and knows what he's gotten into to but he worries big time.  When were not together he cannot sleep.  I try to be with him as much as possiable cause I too miss him terriably.  Listen to me!  I sound like a teenager...sorry for rambling on.  This transition has been very stressful.  Once I am out I am filing for divorce.  I want Alamony, I deserve it after 20 years of BS.  I am going on Welfare to help pay for my new place when I get it.  Welfare will pay my rent and medication bills!  Canada rocks!  

Anyway lLdies and Gents this is my update.  I will be off line for a bit.  I love you all!
Lisa

I'm so happy you found someone with similar beliefs.  I think that really matters in long term relationships.

I hope everything works out for your highest and best good.  (((hugs)))

Take care of yourself, Lisa!  --Sounds as if Don is a "keeper".  I'm very thankful the two of you have found one another.  *hugs*   :)

Sakina, Trisha:  Thank you so much!!  Yes he is definitively a keeper!!  I got to cook him breakfast this morning and he loved it!  I was so thrilled as he loves his food! :)  

You don't sound like a whining teenager.  We all have stuff we want to get off our chests at times but getting it from your head and out of your mouth or down to your fingers so you can type, isn't always that easy.  

Lisa,
I am so happy for you!  You deserve it!  :)  

Drear, Thank you honey!  It is so true what you said,  Even thought I am a writer I have trouble expressing myself.

Curlygirl64, Thank you so much! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

My hair came out awesome yesterday!  Don picked me up from work and could not stop raving about it!  I had done a emu and camellia oil leave in the night before.  Then washed in the morning and put in my frizz buster and some curl activator. When it was dry I put in a neat hair toy I got from Don.  I need to up load more pics once my computer is out of the shop.   Can you say awesome man?  Last night Don was to meet me at 7 before he went back up north to the cottage were his kids are relaxing.  Well, he had a tow to do after hours. He did not show up at 7.  I was a little worried but not angry at all.  He shows up at 9 and whisks me off to his car where he has a home made pizza, tea and treats!  Poor thing was so worried he was late.  We only had a short time before I had to go home but he made my night.  What a sweet heart!  My boss got to see Don ans asked me is that your boyfriend?  I said that's my next husband! :)

Well I am going back to bed, I got a lot of hours at work this week.  I cannot wait for the big sale to be over!

Love
Lisa

Dear Hair Diary,

Been so cold and dry latley!  I have a interesting cocktail in my hair right now.  Vitka oil, coconut oil, emu oil and a bit of olive oil.    We are supposed to get a major winter storm tonight. :P I worry about Don out on his tow truck in that type of weather. :-[  sigh...

Well the big sale is over!!  I did very good!  Now I am dead tired and I think I am coming down with a cold. :'(  My landlord is eviticing us Feb 1st.  Woopee Do!! I will be out by then no problem!  If I cannot find a place I can live with Don till I do.  Oh and were being sued too.  Huh!  >:(  Like the landlord is going to be able to find me! ;D He can sue my ex!

Tuesday I get the ball rolling with welfare.  Don will help me with this, he's a sweet heart! ;)

Anyway I am off to bed! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Well its crunch time ladies...my landlord is evicting us in Jan 31 2009.  Crap!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/fighting0050.gif  Time is not on my side either. Don's horoscope said that on Feb 1 someone will be at his door with there bags packed.  Mine said that on that day a loved one is going to ask me to do something I will not want to do. Whatever happens I pray it all works out.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sad0005.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

Well the heat is on!  I see my Welfare case worker on Tuesday.  I have to move in 10 days.  Don will help me get a new place.  I  hate all of this!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0067.gif.  I cannot wait for it to be over.  I feel like crap putting all this stress on my Don.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sad0064.gif  But I also look at it if our reationship can handle it then it is a good one and I belieive it is.  :)   Colin will give me a non-contested divorcehttp://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/jumping0046.gif    So it looks like I am taking another walk down the isle and this time I am doing it right!  Yes ladies he wants to marry me!  So figure in about 2 years I will take the plunge again.  My guy might might be "and angel with black wings and a bent halo" (his quote btw)  But I love him very much.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0031.gif

Bye for now! http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/innocent0005.gif

This angel's got black wings too. ;)

Good luck with everything, Lisa. Take your time. *hugs*

Hugs,Lisa.  All will be ok.  Hang in there! :-*

Good luck with everything  :)

Sounds like the good is outweighing the bad right now, honey, and I'm very happy for you.  It's about time you had a good man who has your back.  *hugs*   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Thank you all so much! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Woot!  I get my laptop back from the store tomorrow!  Don's bother who is studying to be an IT will have a ball setting it up for me!  I am so happy as I hate using the ex's computer. :P

Man its been so cold!  I was out at the bus stop tonight and it was - 9!  Eeekkk!! Thank the lord for Thinsulate!  lol!!
I have been oiling my hair alot to keep it from drying out.  I also keep my hair under my hat and coat so the wind does not get to it.  

I am still packing my stuff...gawd what a pain!  The ex will not let me have the bed....can you say jerk! >:(  You would think he would be a gentlman and let me have it...well he's not. Perhaps I will get a futon...


Anyway I got a real busy week coming up and need some sleep! :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

I got my new laptop!  It is blue a flower design, very cute!  So now I am happly typing away! http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0021.gif  Still packing for the move.  Oh man....I went to Welfare and was told I could not have it.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sad0020.gif.  I was very upset as I am an good upstanding citizen with a job, no record or any problems and Welfare gives the money to crack whores and losers!  What about women who like me are leaving there husbands and cannot aford to live alone?  Are we to become those crack whores!?http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sad0145.gif.   Welfare want me to sue my husband for support, okay, but what do I do in the meantime as I am being evicted January 31 2009? Pissed me off!!!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0245.gif Thankfully I have Don or I would be screwed.  Mind moviing in with him and his brother will not be a picnic.  His bro is supposed to be moving out soon.  Don wants us to have our own place and I agree.

Well my poor hair is hating this dry weather.  I have been doing alot of oiling and right now have to wash out a treatment I have had in for two days = Jojoba oil and emu oil.  My hair just drinks it up.  Got even more hair toys from Don. He really knows how to cheer me up!  God knows what he's getting me for x-mass, I am getting him his favoirte cologne Addias (mind you ladies I like the good stuff personally)  but its what he likes and I can afford it too!  Don's easy to please which is great, unlike the ex who was a fussy and I if he did not like a gift he would euther throw it out or just leave it around like garbage.  

Went thought my wedding pics tonight.  Think I am going to burn them on new years with Don.  New years would have been my 20th wedding anniversy. http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0262.gif  ah but mistakes are made my friends.  And correcting them might be a battle but at the end of the day I can say at lease I got the ball rollling on a new life


Lisa :)  

Wow, I'm shocked that they won't give you financial support until you get back on your feet.  I thought that the Canadian government was more progressive than that.  I don't believe in giving handouts to people who aren't trying to do anything with their lives and choose to make mooching off of the government a lifestyle, but you're doing all of the right things.  They do the same thing here too.  My younger sister is 25 years old, has 2 kids, has never worked a day in her life (so has never paid into the system) and lives off of welfare.  It's a shame how freely welfare can be given to those who don't deserve it.

Good thing you have Don to help you out. :)

*nods* I did the same thing with mine...only not on New Year's and obviously not with Don. ::) A word of caution, though, if you'll permit me...your new guy might not want to see all those pix of you marrying someone else. He might say he's fine with it, but in the back of his mind, it would probably still get to him a little bit. I know it's nice to have someone there supporting you while dealing with your past, but I recommend doing so with friends instead of with a new partner. It's not really fair to him.
   That being said, I do wish you luck with your budding romance with Don. Just take your time and don't rush. You have to be able to be strong on your own before you can be strong in a relationship. Trust me.

Congrats on your new laptop too! Mine just died. :'(

Midnight Angel,  Your right about Welfare, what a waste of time!

You know your right.  I will not do it infront of him.  Hell, I will save us all the grief and throw them in the trash! I did not even have a proper photo album, there just pics taken on a cheap disposable camera.  Thanks for helping me sort that out :)  Thank you for all your well wishes with me and Don :)

Oh shoot!  I hope you get you compuer fixed soon!

*hugs* No prob, hon. And thanx. :)

I know how crappy divorces can be to deal with, so if you wanna talk about stuff, feel free to shoot me a PM.

Dear Hair Diary,

It been so dry that I have been sprtizing with an jojoba oil/rosewater mix.  I even take it to work :)  I have been so busy!  I have 6 day work weeks with packing on top of that.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/char1/character0235.gif.  So I am beat!  Tomorrow is my day off so I will try to relax a bit.

Had a fight with the ex the other day, he was being an ass!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/char1/character0036.gif  I cannot wait to move out at the end of the month!  

Oh I got some plastic mistloe and am going to make it into a neat hair toy to wear for X-mass.  Don and I am going as Santa and one of his reindeer for the family x-mass get together!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0004.gif  It is bound to be a great time!

Well my hair is now soaking happly in Ojon and I am off to watch The Dark Knight

Bye for now! http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0171.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

Well I have an eight day working week starting today. :P  My next day off is x-mass eve.  My poor Don has to work on x-mass.  He is so upset :-[ But I am going with him to work  and will have him cheered up in no time! :) I told him I do not care were we celebrate x-mass as long as I am with him.  I enjoy going to work with him and we have had some great times on the tow truck.   I am a bit of a tomboy so It works out great.

My ex asked me for money for the little bit of milk and food I use when I am home.  Can you say jerk!  I am not telling Don about this as he would get really pissed and kick the ex's butt!  I am serious, he would.

Well I almost got my x-mass shopping done!  Just need a few more things.  It helps working in a big store where they have eveything. :)

I am all packed now and will be out before New Years. The ex said I could take whatever I wanted so I am.  Too bad I cannot take the car and sell it!  http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/evilgrin0039.gif

Well I am going to get more sleep!

Dear Hair Diary,

Holy crow has it been cold!  We had -14 the other day!  Talk about toes falling off at the bus stop!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/char1character0080.gif I have been wearing a peaked thinsualted cap covered with a ski mask and then wrap my neck with an shemga (arab headress)  My hair is hidden and out of the wind and so is my face!  lol!!  Been oiling every day, adding some BPAL perfume for a nice scent.  

Got my x-mass shopping done!  Got Don cologne, sunglasses and some underwear (he asked for them)  Wonder what he got me?? http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0056.gif  We shall see.  Poor guy was at odds not knowing what to get me.  I dropped a few hints here and there to help him out.  

Well I am off to bed got to start at 9 tomorrow

Lisa http://smilieshq.com/smilies/rolleye0008.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

It's been very dry and my jojoba oil has saved the day more then once.  I take it to work and put it in when I've been outside in the wind.  My store did not have my Jason Sea Kelp shampoo so I got the Jojoba one.  Wow it was really good!  

I had a great x-mass with Don and his family.  They are such wonderful people and I felt like I belonged.  Don has a lady who, raised him since he was small..He calls her Aunt Lynn and she is a wonderful women!  Needless to say we all had a great time and I am so very happy.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0146.gif

Yesterday I began my move to Don's place.  We still need to move more stuff but I am basicly in.  Was hard seeing the ex again but he caused no trouble.  If he did Don and Al would have done him in!  LOL!
So I am trying to sort my stuff out now....it slow going as I have killer shifts at work right now. :P  I am getting my eyes checked soon at work and getting my new glasses :)  I have picked a pair of really cool J-Lo frames.    I made a really nice hair toy for x-mass out of a plastic misltoe orantment. Pic to follow :)

Lisa :)

So glad your Christmas was wonderful!  You deserve it! :)

Dear Hair Diary,


Hairs been needing more and more moisture.  I used a leaving in creme conditoner lastnight as my curls were getting all locked and tangled.  Oh well another three months of winter  :P  I need to de a heat cap treatment soon.

My poor Don is sick.  He caught a nasty cold but is still out at work for a few hours today training the new guy.  I need to get him some more meds when I go out later.  My poor dear.... :-[

Anyway I am going back to bed

Lisa :)

Hi honey, no I haven't got the humidifier going yet but I will today.  Thank you Deb, I will let Don know.  He wa sup all night poor thing but is sleeping now and his fever is down.

Dear Hair Diary,

I had a great New Year Eve with Don ;).  We went to a friends of his house and played a game called Rick Band.  We sang and played gitaurs and drums.  I got to sing with Don which was awesome!  Here's Don haming it up!
http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo96/Junkboxxgirl/IMGP5879.jpg http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0046.gif

In my new nighborhood they have a SDM that has an awesome cosmetics dept. they have Benefit!  I blew a fortune on some neat stuff!  Plum mascara, Body balm, lemon aid eye primer (awesome stuff!) Lipstick and god know what else!  lol!!! I also got another Harajuku lover perfume:  I got G which smells like coconut then mellows out to a nice musk.  Don picked it and liked it so I went for it! :)

Well ladies there's a chance I am pregnant!!  We are very thrilled and are hoping I am as we both want more kids.  I of course never had any with my Ex-Creep.  Don has two a 20 year ols and a 23 year old.  So we shall see by the end of the month. 8-)

I heard tell one hair goes realy nice when your preggers. ::)

Anyway were off to bed!
Lisa :)

Whoa have you been busy! :)  

Good luck with the pregnancy and I'm glad that you and Don had fun over the holidays! :D

Wow!  That's awesome news, Lisa.  What a change!  I'm sending you (((big hugs)))!

La Diosa and Sakina,  Thank you both so much!  I did have a great time and am looking forward to many more with Don :)  Sakina sorry i missed what you said about my new avatar.  Thank so much, that is Don newfew Eli, he is 3 and such a doll! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

I did a deep treatment with Vitka hair oil yesterday. I left it in my hair over night then all day at work.  I put my hair in a bun and it looked okay.  

Don and I will e moving in March. I cannot wait as I do not like living in this basement.   I still need to get more of my stuff from my ex's house and start my divorce.... %^&$!  Just wish I has time off work to do all of this.  Tlak about stress.  I live out of a gym bag...sigh.

Anyway I am a bit depressed right now so I am going to bed.

Goodness, you've been busy while I've been on holiday!   ;D  I was going to ask who is the good looking young fellow in your new avatar, but you already answered that one.  --Such a cutie!  
Lisa, I'm so happy that you and Don found one another.  There's a world of difference in your mood; anyone can tell how connected the two of you are.  I know the current living arrangement isn't ideal (basement).  But try not to get discouraged and stressed about it...these things have a way of working out pretty quickly.  *hugs*

Oh yeah I've been way busy! lol!  Heheh Don is a cutie! ;)  Young guy? Nope he's older then me!  Yes the living condtions bite.  We live woth his brother who is a total slob. :(  Mind you Don kicked him out so he should be gone in little over a week.  I cannot wait cause I do no think it is far to have to live in such a mess and Don agree's.  Plus we have no privacy, another thing that is a must have for me.  So yes things will work out. :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Dispite the treatment I gave my hair its still on the frizzy side.  So I grabed some Giovanni leave in condotiner spray at work last night.  That helped but I need a good curl cream.  I think that's the only way to handle my hair.  Jason has one but its very hard to find.  This winter has totaly sucked for my hair.  With wearing hats and taking the bus in the frezzing cold, plus stress.   Tomorrow is my day off!  Praise Chirst, Buddha and Allah! lol!!  I need some alone time as living with two men is in a open concept living area sucks!  I feel like I am in the locker room of the LA Rams sometimes! Or Danny Devito in One flew over the Cookoo nest LOL!!!  A little ankle biter!

Dear Hair Dairy,

Right now my two kittens are al curled up on the floor besides. Awwwwwww!!!  Tis not going to be fun giving them back to there wons when they return from holiday.  When we move in March Don will get us a kitten of our own.  He likes Perisan cats,  me I would love a Turkish Van :)   It is funny how Leo (the tiger striped one) loves Don and Jazz (solid black)  loves me but hates Don lol!!!

My hair is quite happy with the Giovanni leave in spray.  I never liked there other products but this one is a keeper! :)  

Well I am backto bed! :)

Dear Hair Dairy part Duex,


I have been checking out the SDM in my new neighborhood.  The have some awesome things there.  Plus a totaly gorgous cosmetic area.  Wow, wish I had that when I worked for the company!  It's fancy like Macy's.  They have Smashbox, Beneifit, Gosh and tons more.  Wish they had Stilla and Kevin Aucion.  I got some Benefit Lemon Aid concelaer.  This stuff is the bomb!  I blew a whole pay check there last week 500 bucks!  I needed that!  And Don agreed with me!  What a man!!

Well today is Spa day for me.  I will do my facials adn relax!

Lisa

I'm sorry you'll have to leave the kitties behind, but I'm sure you'll find one that's just right for the 2 of you!

I love Kevin Aucoin.  I was so sad to hear he died.  I have 2 of his books and I got back to them over and over.  I wished he could have done my make up just once!

Is SDM a drug store or a department store?

Enjoy your Spa day!  Mine is today and Saturday.

Yes I will try to but at times I get so pissed off I want to kill the both of them!!!  >:(

*nods* I know how that goes. :P

Dear Hair Diary,

I am a little under the weather lately.  Felt like crap lastnight but I am hanging in there.  Don's worried about me and has been keeping an eye on how I am doing.

I rinses my hair yesterday with just water and then put in some conditoner and rinsed that out at the end of my shower.  I then put in my frizz serum and more Giovanni leave in.  Hair came out really nice!  Lastnight I tried a bit of Pantene curl creme at work, just a dab.  It was okay.  I traded some colour contacts with the cosmetices lady at twork and got a bag full of new makeup testers!  Lots of Marcelle and Revlon!  Cool!!!  

There is a war going on in the house we all live in.  You see this is a boarding house so to speak.  Don, Allan and I live in the basement.  Mohammed and Ted have there own room upstairs along with the landlady Beth.  Ted has it in for my Don.  Ted is a self rightious bugger who is a CDN boarder guard at the airport.  He has yelled at me a few times for not geting the front door open when it was frozen and it woke him up. Piss Don right off!  He makes trouble for us all the time like saying were smoking in the house and making noise whill he is trying to sleep.  He even faked a note from Beth saying we were in trouble for smoking and then put a dirty ash tray on her kitchen table!  I am very upset with him cause he gives Don a hell of alot of stress he does not need.  Don wants to kill him and so do I.  Happly were moving in March.  Even Beth is moving she cannot stand Ted as well.  As you can see some people have nothing better to do with there time.  And Ted is very jealous of Don becasue of me...  I said well if he wasn't such a bugger he would be able to have a girlfirend too!  http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0045.gif  Ted can kiss my arse!  I just do not want him to give my Don a heart attack or he's dead meat!  Jeezzz it like a soap opera!!

Bye for now!

Dear Hair Dairy,

Feeling a little better today.  Having a nice big warm man in your bed helps the healing process!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0084.gif

Having most of my hairtoys in storage is a drag...But I do have a collection growing!  I made a pair of hai sticks from some chopsticks Allan gave me.  8-) I had to cut them down and they still need to be filed a bit on the ends.

Hair been behaving thanks to the leave in.  Only thing I have to do is spray it with rose water scrunch and go! Well at least 15 mons before I leave for work as its cold out there!!!!

Anyway I am off! http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/char1/character0263.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

Hair needs to be washed tomorrow.  I will do my clairfy.  Tonight I will do a S&D.  Yesterday Dan and I took his daughter out shopping for her 21st birthday.  We had lots of fun and I got some neat hair toys.  I got Hawian flower clips that will look great this summer. 8-)  Alsoi I made a set of hair sticks from some really nice chopsticks Don gave me. :)

I really liked that Pantene curl creme. :)  It helped keep my hair in curls for a few exrta days of no washing.  I only used a dab as I do not build up.  I just wet my hair in the morning and scrunhced it.  Having the humidifry has helped with my hair alot. :)  

Tomorrow is my day off!! then I have eight day on... :P Got in trouble today at work :'( Nasty floor manager gave me hell and made me cry for picking on some food in the back warehouse that was destined to be tossed.  I made him apoloize for making me cry.....bugger.  So I will probably get written up for it. I do not care, I would rather a job in my new nieighborhood.  Less travel and more money saved.

Anwya by for now
Lisa :)

Dear Hair Diary,


I washed today with the clarifying shampoo but and hour before I did I massaged me scalp with Giovanni tea tree conditoner.  Felt really good!  I even had Don use the clarifer as he uses a spray gel in his hair between washes.

Been feeling yucky, do not know if its pregancy or pms... :-/  We will know soon enough.  Did my S&D lastnight I did not find as much as I thought I would.  Shedded alot tough...

Anyway I am off to bed...have to go into work early tomorrow.. :(

Lisa

Dear Hair Diary,

*hugs*  Keep your chin up, darlin'    :)

Sorry to hear that, Lisa.  Perhaps once you're in your new place and less stressed, things will work out for you.  (((hugs)))

Thanks ladies, Iwill try

Dear Hair Diary,

Feeling a little better today.  Been so flipping cold!  Had to really oil my hair to save it from the dry conditons as of late.  Don is such a love!  He knew how upset I was and so was he regarding no privacy for us so he called his brothers girlfriend and got her to take him to her house till next Monday!  Thank god!  Now thats a good man for ya!

God, everyone is pregnant except for me :'(  Just found out Don's other brothers wife is pregnant again.  At work my boss found out and was rude and partonizing about it. Sigh  :'(  Well we will try again.

In other news Don daughter really likes me.  She says I remind her of her late mother in a way, this made Don cry as he was so happy.  I cryed too. I never thought I could nor dreamed of replacing someones mother but she likes me alot and wants me to stay with her Dad a long time. This is really good. :)

Today is payday!!!  Off I go to the drugstore!!

Cheers!
Lisa :)  

Dear hair diary,

The cold weather continues up here.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/char1character0080.gif  Were freezing out beeps off!  I got the stove on right now and all my clothes too.  Been loading up on skin lotion and hair oil.

Lastnight I went shopping with Don at east indian supermarket.  Got lots of really nice insnece plus some Vatika naturals Nourish and Protect hair cream with Aloe, henna and almond oil.  Nice stuff! It very light weight!  My hair just drank it up!  Also got my rosewater and my Ponds sandelwood body powder, this stuff is to DIE for! :)

Yesterday Don got his tow truck liences and is now a full felged vulture hehe pardon the pun!  This mean lots more money for us. :)  I am very proud of him as he, unlike my ex, makes and effort to improve himself.  So today is his frist day looking for wrecks. Please join me in wishing him luck! :)http://smilieshq.com/smilies/party0002.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

Rinsed out my hair yesterday did a condtioning then put in some giovanni leave in and Pantene curl creme.  Hair is noce and curly no frizz and looking great! :)  I unpacked my Lady McSnood snood and am wearing it now. I need to get my siclia gel and my biotin as my nails are really peeling up a storm.

This weekend I move the rest of my stuff from the ex's house.  Ewww I hate seeing him.  But what must be done must be done.  Next time I contact him will be when the lawyer starts the divorce.  Blah! :(  

Any how, Don brother is out now and were enjoying it alot! :)

Lisa :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Today was my day off so I gave myself a facial and manicure. 8-)  Don came home with some awesome indian food for dinner.  Man was it hot! ::)

I got a request from Don to wear banana clips in my hair and gave it a go.  Wow these really take my back to my teenage years!  My curls are behaving alot better now.  Tonight I will put in some rosewater then some leave in conditoner before bed.

This weekend is the final move from the ex's place.  I am very stressed about it and cannot wait till its over and done with.  Don father will be storing my stuff for me in his garage.  He is a very nice man.:)  He saving us alot of money doing this. :)  

Well I am listening to Yo yo ma....:)

Lisa

Dear Hair Diary,

Tonight I need to do my ACV rinse and add my condinoners.   I got some of my vitamins...One a days and cod liver oil.

I got to see an old movie I really liked the other day.  It was M butterfly with Jeremy Irons.  It's a twist on the madam butterfly story...good flick.   Tonight I plan to scare the crap out of myself and watch Ringu and Ju-on.  heheheheh!

Woo Don made dinner!  So I am off!

Lisa :)

Dear Hair Diary,

I did my rinse last night and my hair came out all nice and curly! 8-)  I got some no slip jaw clips today from Zellers plus some Hello Kitty lip gloss.  Speaking of Hello Kitty...I got a adorable HK nose pin! It so cute!  It so tiny but you can see her! :)

Tomorrow is my day off so I am doing a mini spa and bath!  Woo hoo!!  Came home to a cute stuff bear holding a heart and sitting on one on my laptop tonight.  Awwww Don is too much!  He got me sushi for dinner and some Honey Green tea drink.   :D

Anyway I am off to bed!

Awww!!!  It was a pure fluke I found that nose pin.  It was on a big card at a mall kiosk jewley cart.  I had to do a triple take when i saw it lol!  Wow I love the bento box!  I have a Usagi one :)

Dear Hairy Diary,

Wow we got a nasty snow storm yesterday! :P  I was suprised the movers even showed up!  But the move when without a hitch thank gods!  My ex had eveything ready for me, he even took the bed apart! hmmmm...I wonder why.....  Anyway I took a flying leap on the ice in the back of the house...my arm is as sore as hell!  Don took a leap too...poor thing!  He was such a prince though the whole move.  http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0033.gif  I am very happy that it all done now.  Thing is when I was there I found a letter from Landlord and Tenent people saying I have to go to court!  >:(  The landlord is looking to sue me for damages to the apartment...um...what #$%! damages!  Grrrrr!!!  not to worry we will fix him!

Hairs been in a bun lately as I have been so busy!  I made Don some Irish lamb stew the other day.  I did it in the slow cooker he has.  Talk about yum!! He was so tickled pink that I made it for him!  I had never used a slow cooker before and I have never cooked lamb before but it came out great! :)

Lisa :)

Glad your move went well.

Aren't slow cookers great! :D  I've been so addicted to mine this winter.

Dear Hair Diary,

Hair's been okay I guess.  I need to get a trim. Man this winter has been horrable on my hair and skin. :-[

Today I find out what the hell is going on with my ex landlord and court hearing I have to go to.  This is so flipping stupid and a waste of time.  The man cannot get blood from a stone!  My boss had at me last night.  She wants to get rid of me, says I do not do my job right and other bullshit...I told her straight to her face want me to go now?? She was like oh no no!  I said look lady I am going in March anyway.  It's sad when jealously gets in the way at work.  I would rather do an at home data entry job...Don suggested it and can get me one.  This I would like alot.

It so sad really, I got that job to save my marraige but it was an exsercis in futality....I was reading a women magazine the other day and I fall into the 40, divorced and now dating scene. Seems like it happens alot to women.  

I had a blast from my past lastnight at work.  An old co-worker from SDM came in to do food shopping.  I was so thrilled to see her.  She is now married and doing well.  She was shocked to hear about my up coming divorce.  She got to me Don too which was great! :)  Wow, it has been at least 6 years since I saw her last.

Well I have two days off so I a going to relax, do a spa day and sleep!!

Dear Hair Dairy,

I saw shades of my mother lastnight when I looked at my hair.  It's getting all grey on top...lots of stress does not help.  My ex landlord is sueing me for rent money and I have to go to court next week...fun fun. :-[

Had a spat with Don lastnight.  I am not impressed with him right.  He bought me a cute stuffed bear to cheer me up.http://smilieshq.com/smilies/rolleye0005.gif

I washed my hair yesterday and it came out really nice.  I used the Vatika leave in treatment a hour before I washed.  I gave myself a facial and watched a spooky movie.

Anyway I am going back to bed.

Lisa

Dear Hair Diary,

Had some retail therapy today before work.  I went to a dollar store and got some cool stuff, plus the ususal hair toy!  lol!  I then when to an Ardene and got this gerogous black feather and bow clip, very burleques!  Lol!!  I got huge complements from Don on that one!  I found this really neat foot scrubber that attaches to the floor of the shower with suction cups and you scrub and massage your feet.  Oh my lord...heaven!  and only a  dollar! :)

I bought some mineral makeup and have been playing with it.  The Maybelline and Physicans Formula ones are pretty good so far...need to try the Rimmel one next.

I have been using Johnsons Baby Creme o my body all winter and IU just noticed that now it giving me body zits!  ewww!!!  I think I will switch back to Aveeno.

I had a really nice bath tonight and relaxed.  I put in a rose bath bomb and just melted away...

Lisa :)

Dear Hair Diary,

I think my hair is at termial lenght now.  I has not really grown in a long while.  I do not think it will get past 30 inches.  Mind I and still do alot of things with it and all.  I am going to my old niehgbor soon and will get some biotin and start that again, maybe it will grow?

I just waxed my upper lip. I used Veet facial wax with Aloe.  I am not a big waxing fan but plucking stinks.  I am trying to get one of my eyebrows to grow in better.  

Well another day another penny

Other:  I could not talk about this untill the case was over but my ex-landlord was sueing me for late rent charges.  I won the case as my Ex twit paid the day before the hearing.  He is still not out of the house according to the para legal and need to pay 150 bucks plus give in the keys.

I am back!  I did not go to my old neighborhood today..dud not feeli like it at all. So I stood in Mississauga and found a hairdresser to do my hair.  I got two inches removed.  They kept teasing the stylist saying your not cutting off enough! lol!  They put some jojoba gel in it and srcunched it up.  It came out nice. :)  Still need to get some biotin.  Got some rice and nori to make some onigrui's!!!  I visited my bonsai today in the backyard.  I was hoping it would not die.  I watered it a few days ago when it warmed up.  I watered it again today and it starting to turn green again!  Yay!!!  I swore I would not leave that tree at the ex's place and I got her here now.  It was hard trying to explain to Don that these tree's do not come into the house for more then a few hours when you want to dispay them for company.  Oh well he will learn..heheh!   Well I am going for a nap.

Cheers!

Why did you decide to get a trim... and what did you make in the slow cooker?

Hi honey!  I realy needed a trim as my ends were so dry and I hadn't had a proper trim in ages.  I made this

http://www.mccainslowcookersolutions.com/  I did the Chicken Cacciatore.  It was okay but I like making them from scratch better :)

I was just wondering, because I thought that if you didn't put chemicals or heat in your hair that you would never need a trim.


I didn't even know that they had pre prepared meals to go in the slow cooker.  I always make my meals from scratch.  Typically, I'd be tempted to use their prepackaged meals, but since making meals from scratch doesn't take long anyway, I'll just stick to that.  

Dear Hair Dairy,

My hairs alot happier now that I had it trimmed.  It holds a curl alot better.  I washed my hair lastnight and just put riose water and Ojon and it came out nice and curly this morning and still has its curl.

Been so pooped latley...:(

Anyway I am off to bed
Lisa

Dear Hair Dairy,

Don and I am still looking for a place to live.  Hopefully we can find a place soon.  I am trying not to get a basement apartment as I do not like living in the dark.  Plus I have a phoibia about living underground so its been really hard for me living here.  

Today I will ust relax a bit.  I was thinking of doing a heat treagtment cap with coconut milk and maybe a facial.

It ging to be nice today so I am going to go out and enjoy! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Last night I put in some Vatika cond and did a rinse.  Hairs been acting thin and flimbsy. I have been wearing it straight latley.  I guess I am having one of those "I hate my hair" moments.  It happenes, I just want to tie it up and forget it.  

Been depressed lately, got to much on my mind.  We got to move, got to get my divorce going and get a new job.  Crap... http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0018.gif

Anyway I am off...http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sad0121.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

Washed my hair yesterday and put in Pantene curl creme.  My hair seems to like the stuff.  I cannot wait till summer, then I can put my hair up in my neat hair toys and have some fun with it.

Don and I are still looking for places to live.  Last night we saw one, sadly it was way too small for our stuff plus the parking was not big enough for a tow truck.  Besides I tought it was way to much money for a one room place.  Don was very dissapointed but I told him there will be more.  I wish we do find one soon as I hate living out of boxes (T-T);;

I am dreading tomorrow like all hell!!  Valentines day has bad memories for me...geezz I need a shot of Sake!!!  lol!!!

Bye for now!

Awwwwwww!!! Thank you love!  ;)  Yes I know he will :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Last night I had my "tow truck date" with Don.  I made dinner and bought it in the truck.  I made Onigiris and took along some Perrier water.  These dates are really cute!  Don works long hours and this helps use spend much needed time together.  And since I am a bit of a tom boy it works.  Lastnight I was out on the road in a refective coat directing traffic while Don pulled a car out of a ditch. ( note:  this is not for the timid ladies!)  lol!!!  

Today I am getting my makeup done at a SDM by a Lise Waiter makeup artist.  I hope she does a good job.  Most make overs they put so little makeup on you and they usually botch up the eyeliner large.  Well we shall see!!!

Don already started V day lastnight.  He got me a bottle of some very rare Sake. :) ;)  I feel bad for him some times as I am a really different person then anyone he has ever dated. But he tries thought which is what counts :)

I gave Don a blue and white Lava lamp!  He loved it!  :) ;)

Anyway I am off! :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

I had my make over at Shoppers...my eyes came out okay but she did not do the rest very good.  Oh well eh?  I redemed my 10 dollar enternce fee and got a new Quo blending brush for 10 cents.  

Had a bad night lastnight so I should get back to bed as I have work this afternoon

bye

Dear Hair Dairy,

Feeling a little better today.  We went to the Imperial buffett lastnight for dinner.  I enjoyed the wonton soup and the cocolate fountain alot :)   Don had fun trying all the different types of sushi.  The Imperial  was our very first dinner date back when we met and is still a favorite with us.  They had lamb stew last night and Don had some.  He took one bite and said mine was alot better and did not finish it but went on to eat his rib roast!  ;)

Today is a holiday up here but Don still has to work... :-[  Oh well, I will do my heat cap treatment today.  Its been a long time since I was able to do one.  My poor hair needs it.

Anyway I am off.

That sounds like a great date!  Chocolate fountain...yummy! :D

I'm a big tomboy, too, so riding along in the tow truck sounds like heaven to me!   8-)

Cool!  It is alot of fun and Don makes it even more fun with his humor. :)  The neatest thing is to watch Don push a car.  No word of a lie he can push a car from a stand still up a hill all by himself.  I'll make a video one day on our Blackberry and show you all :)

Dear hair diary,

Hairs getting greyer by the day.  I sort of look like Rouge from the X men.... :P  did my heat cap treatment, it came out okay.  My poor hair, I noticed that the cut I got the other day was not done very well, she missed alot of split ends.  I need to nail them with my sissors later.

Yesterday Don and I went shopping at Square One ( a really big mall) in our area.  I got a pink and a blue clip on hair peices to wear for fun! I love them there so cute!  Later we had lunch, I had soba noodle soup and he had chinese buffet.  Shopping with Don is always fun as he loves to shop!  Most men I have been with hate shopping but not Don.  

Today I am making Split pea soup with ham hocks in my slow cooker...Don's going to love it

Bye for now!  :) :) :)

Oh man that's scary... :P Nope, he would not do that...cars way to important to him.  Its his only friend now. http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0256.gif  If he ever does wreak it I hope Don's the frist on the scene and gets the money for it!  

Now THAT would be a big ol' case of irony...   :o

I had a great birthday!  Here's a pic of what Don got me :)

It's my birth stone, I also got a pair of black onyx earrings with tiny dragons on them..  Plus I had a little shopping spree at the mall and Jamacian food for dinner - Fried chicken and rice with ox tail sauce and fried Plantaines.  Yummy!!!

Pretty ring! :D  

I would've never thought that you could get foods like ox tails and ham hocks in Canada.  I thought that those foods were considered "soul food", for the lack of a better term. ::)

Dear Hair Diary,

Washed my hair lastnight and put in some Ojon and curl spray.  Been doing alot of packing as Don and I got a new place to live.  I cannot wait to move as being in this basement has been driving me nuts.  I have trouble living under ground plus its so dark its depressing.  

Well I am off to have some breakfast

Lisa :)

I soooo relate to your living conditions!!!!  C and I are in a basement apt. now and I find it very depressing without as much sunlight as I'm used to!

Wow, I'd gladly trade with either of you!
There are no basements in California and subterranean structures have much better climate control! It would be a welcome escape from the sweltering, dry and blindingly bright conditions "above ground." :-/

That's funny.  I've always talked about 'making a cave' in my place when the weather is hot; you've got to close all the windows and blinds during the day to keep out the heat.  Of course, it is nice this time of year to open the blinds all up and let the sunshine in...

I need sunshine and not having it is very depressing.  In Canada above ground living area'a are ideal as basements are freezing cold and damp.  My bones have been though hell and back living in a basement..

Dear Hair Diary,

Oiled my hair lastnight and added some BPAL perfume to it: Embalming Fluid.  Been wearing my hair straight alot.  Got a hair insult yesterday.   :-/ :'( :-X :-[  PM me for the details.

Right now I am very stressed with the move and am not feeling well to boot.  

Lisa

Dear Hair Diary,

Did a clarify today, hair is back to curly for now.  I found some hair tonic at the chinese market today.  You put it on you scalp to help hair growth, its called Morim.  I looked it up and could not find anything on it.  I gave it a go and massaged it in.  Felt wild, its has ginseng and placenta extracts plus oh dear 190 proof alcohol!  ;D  Think I will give it to the wino next door!  

Last night Don and I went out for Sushi.  We went to a Japanese/Koren resturant.  I had my fav: Sashime and he had Kim chee.   Don loved it but I did not like the way we were rushed out of the resturant, couldn't even finish my sake!  The prices were good though, still I must find a better place.  I am not a big fan of Korean food and it was more Korean then Japanese.

Well were not moving yet...we could not find a place we both liked.  Me I need to be above ground with windows and a yard.  My heath has been pretty bad living in the dark, I cannot even see to put on my makeup or do my hair at night.


Lisa

Dear Hiar Dairy,

I got some Biotin today! :)  Finnaly!  Also I bought some herbal hair color and am going to do my hair tonight...wish me luck.  I bought Hesh Kalpi Tone which is an powder that darkens the hair.  I have used Hesh products before so I trust them for the most part.  I have mixed it with tea and black instant coffee to help the color and am letting it sit till later.  I hope it works good :)  Some of the herbs used are: Amla fruit, maka leaves, shikakai fruit, and neem leaves.

Made Japanese winter stew lastnight for dinner.  It went over very well, tomorrow is Onigiri night in the tow truck again. :)  I bought some cool sparkling eyeliner today.  I got a pink and a purple one :)

Anyway I am off to relax ;)

Dear Hair Diary,

Well I did the herbal dye thingy lastnight.  It did not color my hair but left it nice and wonderfully soft and shiney.  The smell of it alone was enough to get stoned!  ;D  I bought two packs @ $1.29 and only used one.  Good bargain I say.  I shall be adding it to my hair care regeme.  The trick to this stuff not sicking to your hair is to wear a plastic cap when your waiting the hour for it to work.  Hence I do not have any "gravel" still left in my hair.  

bye for now :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Hairs doing good, hopefully it will do some more growing now that I have the biotin.  Been depressed lately...living in a dark basement does not help mattters.  Were still looking for a place to live.  The last one was too much money and small too. :P  

Anyway I am off

Lisa

Dear Hair Diary,

Hairs doing alright, I washed it yesterday.  I had done an all day oil treatment before hand with coconut, emu and camilla oil.  Don got me a really pretty hair fork at the mall yesterday!  Need to up load the pic from our blackberry.

I tried, but not luck, to get a japanese koto from a Flea makert in my area.  I was willing to pay 200 for it.  But the guy said 1,500 and would not budge and was rude to boot!  He told Don, not me, that it was becasue it was a made of a rare wood.  I said what wood is it made of.  He said he did not know and I said well buddy when the ice age comes you can burn that koto in your fireplace casue you not moving it!  Man was I pissed.  I can get one brand new with all the extra`s from Japan for 700.  Don mentioned this to him and the twit still would not budge.  So my dream of a koto contuines....



Had a wild night ladt night ::)  Poor Don`s still sleeping... ;D

bye for now! ;)

Koto, a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument...(I had to look that up   ;)   )

I would not mind a shamisan either.

The quest continues! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

I noticed when I wash my hair that it still has the scent of that indian treatment when its wet??  Interesting...

Hopefully Don has found a nice place for us.  The last one proved to exprensive for us so we did not move yet.  The place he saw yesterday was just right. I cannot wait to see it.  

We went to see The Watchman the on the weekend.  Walked out after an hour.  It was not for us...
Been doing alot of cooking latley, made a cocolate cake, onigiri, welsh rarebit, fish, japanese stew...
Don's loving it! :)  

We cannot wait to move.  Me I cannot wait to do some decorating!

bye for now! :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Been trying to look after my hair more studiously.  I put in my vitka oil treament lastnight and will be washing it out later.  We will be putting in the application for the new place today!  I cannot wait!  Anything beats the place were in now.  

Been looking at the ads for the Bumpits.  They would really help in making a geisha hairstyle :)

Tonight Don is cooking dinner!

Anyway I am off!

Lisa :)

Good luck on getting the apartment.   8-)

Dear Hair Diary,

Been so busy lately.  We got approved for our new apartement!  Its a nice set of buidlings right near the Lakeshore area of Toronto.  It's on the top floor and is really nice. It has hardwood floors a nice bathroom and enough space! :)  It nice and bright and I can even put my bonsai tree right outside the window!  No more trughing through the snow to find it! lol!  We move next Monday and I got us basicly packed already.  

Hairs been okay, still feels very dry at times.  It was out of control yestersay, would not stay in it clips for no one! lol!  And....I gave Don a hair cut the other night!  He looks alot better now. :)I clipped the sides and back and left the top.  Smmers coming and it will keep him nice and cool.

Amyway I am off!
Lisa ^-^

Woohoo! Congrats on the new place! :D

Ooh, your new place sounds very nice! :)

Angel, La Diosa:  Thank you so much! :-*  I wil post pics in the future :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Washed yesterday and have it all up to preserve the curls for tonights party.  It Don's father's 69th birthday.  
I wanted to wear my kimono coat over my dress and Don had a fit. :'(  The coat is beautfull, black silk with red flowers. He said he would be embrassed if I wore it in front of his family. Needless to say I was not impressed. >:( :'(  I do not like to be told what to do or wear, I am not impressed in the least about this.  His brother Al has been making snide comments about me as of late calling me a Bubble Head.  Like I need this crap after what I went through with my ex huband and his crazy family...please...

Anyway I am off... :(

Whoa...what is going on with them? :-?  

I don't like being told what to do or wear either.  Perhaps Don felt that the coat was too dressy or showy for his family?  Or since it's a kimono style coat, maybe he thought that they wouldn't "get it".  

I know that my familiy thinks I'm weird sometimes because my life is more varied.  Their world is so small that anything outside of what they are accustomed to can seem odd to them.  I remember visting one year and I was wearing an Indian pashmina.  To me it was nothing, but to them it was such a spectacle.   I don't get mad at them or anything because I understand.  I actually think it's funny.  

Of course, I don't know if that's whats going on with Don's family.  I'm just throwing a possibility out there based on my experience. :)

Hopefully, you'll have fun at the party anyway! :D (((hugs)))

Egads. Well, that isn't very polite, is it? Perhaps he was just trying to spare you the extra teasing. Or maybe he hails from a racist family with no appreciation for other cultures. Or perhaps he himself isn't fond of the "white girl trying to be Japanese" look and doesn't want to be seen escorting it around in public. Maybe his family wears nothing but Old Navy & Gap (or whatever the Canadian equivalents are) and the kimono would've freaked them out a little. http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/confused0024.gif

Your man should have first informed his family that his new gf has a more *ahem* eccentric way of dressing before tossing her into family functions. Until he does, you have the option of keeping your wardrobe more mainstream while in their company - maybe putting in exotic touches like a shawl or a hairtoy and gradually introducing more as they get more comfortable around you....OR dress as you please and face the music.

La Diosa, Angel.  Don's family is not so prime and proper just uncultred to some exsent and so is Don.  I gather I scared him with my japanese stuff. :P  Notwithstanding, I wore my mink jacket instead.  Don knew I was dead angry at him so he took me to China Town for some shopping and I got some neat bowls and spoons.  We did have a good time at dinner.  We, besides his father and stepmother, were th only ones dress properly ( his brother Al looked like a begger form Bathhurst and Finch! :P Don told me how beautiful I was all nite.  We had surf and turf.  Anyway now I know not to wear my japanese stuff infront of his family.... :P  such a dumb freakin arguement.... :-/

Dear Hair Diary,

Four more day to the move!  I am all packed save for hair stuff and food.  Ah and of course its that time of the month!  eeek...  But I shall preserve.  Got to take home some cake lastnight from Larrys birthday party. :)  Lastnight I wore my had in a bow clip that has a mesh bun bag on it.  It was easy and come out nice.

Remember my old bonsai?  Well it still alive and kicking. 8-)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Did a CO wash yesterday with a vinger rines, hair come out nice and soft.  I followed up with some Ojon.  
Here's a pic from the birthday party the other day.

http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo96/Junkboxxgirl/n588976320_2796109_2176218.jpg

Remember I said Don brother Al called me a bubble head?  Well...according to his girlfriend he said it again in front of the family at the party when Don and I were out of the room getting the cake...  Apparently his stepmother ripped him a new one on the spot and then when Don found out yesterday he drove his truck to his brothers house and tore him a new one too!  http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/fighting0054.gif

I am very happy Don and his stepmother defended me.  As for Al, hey I know where it'S coming from.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sign0058.gif

Well I am off to clean :)

It's good that Don and his family stood up to him.  Perhaps now he'll stop saying silly things.

Dear Hiar Diary,

Don and I are all moved in!  Now the task of getting all our stuff put away and done is on.  It's a really nice place  and we should have everything together by the weekend.  Right now I do not have interent and am just catching the wave from another computer in the building.  I should have my own internet connection by next week.

Washed my hair lastnight and did an ACV rinse.  I had a nice bath in my new bathroom :)

Cheers! :)

Yay rah for the new place!   :D

Dear Hair Dairy,

I finnaly got my interent conection back! :)  Now its surf city!  Be getting the place set up as best as I can.  Still need to rearange things a bit.  The kitchen and washroom are very nice.  I love the tiles. :)  Bedroom is big and airy.  Livingroom is cosy...we need a sofa as Don's was to big :P  They have nice ones at Ikea but...Don hates Ikea with a passion! I believe this has something to do with my ex.  

Anywho, hairs been doing alright.  I have been shedding alot but I put it down as stress. We went on a trip to 6 Nations Reserve on the weekend and I got some all natural native made shampoo and conditioner.  This stuff is lovely and biodegradable too! :) :O)

Been having nightmares about my ex...Don bought me a dream cather at the Reserve, such a sweetheart :)

Anyway I am off! :)

I thought their kitchen appliances were good for the price and I was going to brace myself for their crap parking facility in Tilst near Århus and get hub to give me a ride but now you're giving me second thoughts.  Their furniture was fine in the 80s for what you paid for and functional for most families but I'm no longer impressed with their ever expanding ranges but lowered quality.

As far as I know Ikea uses prisoners to make there furniture in the corrections programs in Sweden.  That aside, the only thing they make good anymore is still the Pong chairs.  Still I like there lamps and stuffed toys... as for goth bashing they can kiss my @$%!

Dear Hair Dairy,

Did my speical oil mix and left it in lastnight.  I will wash it out later.  Been picking through stuff while unpacking.  Its hard to go throught those old memories... :P  I threw out alot of stuff my ex gave me.  Man that marraige was a waste time.  Gaaah...just having a retrospective moment. :P

I noticed the biotin kicking in as my body hair is growing really fast, got 5 o'clock shadow going here on my legs! ;D  Today is facal day!  I found my face steamer and my parafin wax.  Gave Don a pedi the other night.  He loved it.  I used one of those pedi eggs to get off the callaus and followed with a foot massage.  Being a 250lb guy his feet see alot of wear and tear.  He loved it btw ;)

Today is fire alarm testing day at my building :(  They have been at it for 3 hours now...Still I like the idea that these things are done.  God forbid we get a fire at least the alarms are working.  We have a smoke detector and carbon dioxide detector as well.  This is a good place, we have 24 hour securty and a good super as well.

Anyway I am off! :)

It's always something like that. Needing to escape, but not being able to for some reason. Dreams can be excellent metaphors for real life situations.
   In mine, I was always trying to run away from my ex, who was chasing after me with murderous intent. But I could never run as fast as I was capable of, and would end up having to dodge him around corners and whatnot. Outwit him since I couldn't outrun him. But he always managed to find me.


Quote:

Amen, sister. Many moons ago, I used to buy their candles on occasion since they sold bags of 500 tealights for like $5 or something ridiculous. And their pillar and taper candles were dripless and a total bargain. But their one and only location in town is rather out of the way from where I live...and their ad in 2007 was the last straw. I refuse to shop there at all now. The fact that my ex-husband also liked their crap was just one more reason to avoid them. ;)

;D Pedicures are practically an initiation ritual for the guys that I date. ;D Their toenails are usually a fright for sore eyes until Angel gets ahold of them. After a little clipping, filing and laquering, they look fab. ;D Most guys have been really into it.

Dear Hair Diary,

Gave my hair a good S&D yesterday while Don and I were waiting for calls in the truck.  Was thinking of doing a heat cap treatment today....need to find my heat cap! lol!  It taking awhile for me to settle into our new place.  This is normal for me.  I have moved twice in four months is very stressful but I will prevail.  

Anyway I am off! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

I did the coconut milk/hear cap thing the other day and my hair came out realy nice. :)   Lastnight we did some more rearraging of the new place.  My poor fingernails are just spiltting like mad... :-[  I've been taking my vitamins and all...sigh.

I am up now getting Don ready for work...its 5:30 in the morning here :P

Yawn!

Dear Hair diary,

Lastnight we had a cash call to Nigara falls.  We dropped off the car and went site seeing :)

They light up the falls with pretty coloured lights! It was so magical and romantic 8-)  This is a pic of the American side taken from the Canadian side.

Here's me haming it up large with a mounit suit!

We had a great time.  This will add to my book of wonderful memories with Don.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0008.gif

:o Oh my goodness! Having never visited Niagara Falls, I had no idea they did that at night...gorgeous! :D

Ahhh...that is lit up very nice.  I'd been to Niagara Falls several times as a little girl, when visiting my family in Buffalo.  However, we only went in the daytime, so I've never seen it like this.  It's so pretty!  I bet that was romantic! :)

The pic of you is very nice too, you look very happy! :)  

I've never visited Niagra Falls either and I don't even know exactly where it is so I guess I'll google it. :-[  That's beautiful!

Thanks Ladies!  Not to worry Drear, it's more or less a a crack in the earth between the US and Canada. lol!  I call it the big drip. ;D

Dear Hair Diary,

Shedding like mad...things have been stressful as of late.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sad0121.gif   Way to much drama I say.  Those want to know can pm me.

Anyway I am off.

Dear Hair Diary,

Did a clairfy the other day.  I am still finding alot of spiltends here and there.  I keep a little sissors with me to cut them.  It kinda strange seeing a grey hair with a splitend!

Yesterday we went to Chinatown and I got some really nice japanese Shoji screens for the bedroom.  They were a steal at $50.  I also got a string of really cute lanterns.

http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo96/Junkboxxgirl/lights3.jpg
 While we were there I treated Don to some Peking duck for lunch.  We then went to my favorite Japanese food store "Sanko" and picked up some pickled plums and spices. The store own is a cute little old man and he gave me some rice candy for free!  This is the stores web site.http://www.toronto-sanko.com/en/  Its heaven!

Today I am going to relax and watch a movie :)

I really love your screen!  The price was great too!  From what I can see of your appartment, it's pretty nice also!Good for you! :D

I bought a screen for my bedroom but just recently put it out on the  patio.  I like it better out there.  Only now, I need another decoration for my bedroom. ::)

Thanks sweetie!  I finally bought some houseplants.  I got three different breeds of Ivy vines.  There great cause we have filtered light so they should do well.  I believe my poor bonsai is dieing.  :'(  Maybe I wil get another one.  I will save the pot, never know what I can creat from that.  Thiniking of bedroom decor how about a fountain?  I saw some really nice ones while I was in china town last week and was thinking of getting one.  I am so embrassed...I cannot decor to save my life! lol!!!  I need a nice picture for my washroom.  The wall in there is just screaming for it!  I was thinking of ladies at a bath, a nice classic nude.  

Dear Hair Diary,

I've been so busy I haven't washed my hair in a bit.  I gave away the native conditioner I was using as it was not proved to have not enough mostuire in it for my curls.  I went to Wally World to pick up my meds yesterday and was pissed off that they stopped carrying Jason products.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0002.gif  However we walked around and Don found some Avalon Organics and at a half way decent price too!  He picked out the Lavender nourishing conditiner with Beta Glucane and Babassu oil.  So I gave it a shot, hairs nice and soft so we will see how it holds up.  I already use there Lemon clariflying shampoo..so does Don :)  

I just watched one of the best suspences/thrillers I've seen in a long time:  Number 23 with Jim Carrey. Awesome flick!  

Oh my lord...last saturday we had a bad rain storm and the power went out in my area.  Don and I had to go out so we figured the light would be back on when we returned.  Nope!  Even the street lights were out!  Very scary and dangerous.  What I reallu did not like was when we came home the hallway emergecy lights were out!  How did we find our unit let alone the key holes?  Leave it to me!  I have a lipgloss that has a light in it!  We used that to find our way up the stairs, down the hall and to our place.  It was pitch dark and I was scared stiff!  The power did not come on again till around 2 in the morning.  I have a large candlebra and lit that which really helped plus lots of tea lights.  We have since stocked up on more candles as we were told this happens alot.

Well I am off to make dinner!

Lisa :)

;D Light up lipgloss - I love it. Having worked nights, I learned to carry a small flashlight on my keychain at all times.

That looks really nice.  So that's what those screens are called...

*ough!*  When you can't rely on someone to keep stocking your favorites.  

Number 23, thanks for the recommendation.

Love those screens!! :)

Angel, yuppers! The brand is Rimmel.  Don stole the little flashlight I use to have lol!

Drear,  Thanks Hun and enjoy the movie:)

Curlygirl64,  Thanks Sweeite! :)

Oh...I know what you're talking about. Passed by it a few times in the store.

And I like your new av, btw. ;)

Dear Hair Diary,

Happy May day!  I played with my hair alot today.  Tryed diffferent looks and clips.  Got some green rugs for the bathroom.  We have mice!  So I got some glue traps.  Don said he will deal with them so ewwwwww! he can have it!!!

I got something neat today!  Its a salt crystal lamp http://www.naturalsaltcrystallamps.com/order-salt-lamps-natural.html at my local Home hardware store.  I got the large one.  It a nice pretty shade of pink and a great light!  They have some great health benifits like reduceing stress, depression, headaches and breathing problems.  Hope it works!  If anyone has one of these lamps let me know. :)

Anyway I am off!

Lisa :)

Happy May Day to you, too!

I bought my hubby a salt lamp a couple of years ago, and oddly enough just got one for myself Friday.  I like them a lot.  The lady at the store said to leave them on all the time, so I'll be trying that to see if it makes even more of a difference.  I got the one for hubby to help him reduce stress and I'd say it works even with the lamp on for fairly short periods of time.  Enjoy!!

Hubby and I got one for Christmas as a gift.  It doesn't plug in though,it needs three tea lights.  Hard to light those little cups when they're way down in the salt lamp.  I did try to find votives that would fit,but no luck so far.  
I like the effect of it though when I do have it lit.

Sakina, wow that's cool!  8-)  I really do think they reduce stress as this morning Don got up at he usual work time even though its his day off but after sitting in the living room for a bit he went back to sleep. This is very rare so I think the lamp (which is on in the living room) relaxed him.  We had it going lastnight and it felt very peaceful :)

Curlygirl,  Cool one with candles!  They even have ones with a little pot on top for fragrant oils.  I suggest getting really long matches or a bbq lighter to light the lamp.  I like the bbq lighter as I always use to burn my nails lighting candles in deep holders.

lol!  You and me both(lighting fingernails)  C has a long lighter,but it's out of fluid :-[  I used to use long wooden matchsticks to light the fireplace when I was a kid living in NJ.  The sticks were actually made to sparkle with colors when you lit them.  They were so cool!!  
Thanks for the tip!

Anytime sweetie http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0159.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

I just oiled my hair with Amla oil and put it in a braid. I did not put my curl activaor in after I washed the other day so my hair is now straight.

Did not feel to well today. Don and I just lazed around the house and then went for a nice walk.  Ever have one of those days when you need a good cry?  Well I did and felt a little better afterwards.  No matter how I try lifes changes can get me down sometimes.  I always manage to bounce back thought.  I guess trying so hard not to let things bug me built up and I just cried.  Maybe I am just getting old...

Anyway I am off
Lisa

Lisa I hope you're feeling better.  I remember seeing that Amla hair oil in Indian shops but I didn't understand why anyone would use oil in their hair at that time so I never tried it.  There are no Indian (or other immigrant) shops in my local area.

I finally bought some houseplants.  I got three different breeds of Ivy vines.

Hmmm...what types of ivy did you get?  I was thinking about growing ivy in an area of my house where there isn't much light, but then decided to perhaps just go with a silk plant.  Are the real ones easy to take care of indoors?

Thiniking of bedroom decor how about a fountain?

Actually, that's a great idea.  I have one in my garage because I didn't know what to do with it.  Only thing is when I moved it upstairs it didn't go well.  The wall where I want to put it is such a large area that the fountain, eventhough it's a floor fountain, just looked dwarfed in the space.  So it's back to the drawing board for me.

They sell those salt lamps that you mentioned at my local Whole Foods.  My husband suggested that I buy one because they are so pretty, but I don't know where I would put it.  I had no idea that they were theraputic.   I was considering getting a happy light http://www.verilux.com/light-therapy-lamps/happylight-light-therapy because I always get winter blahs.  I'll read up more on the salt lamp...perhaps it will help with that. :-?

I've had times in the past where I'd hold in greif too but sometimes you just have to cry and let it out.  Hope you're feeling better now. (((hugs)))

Thank you love!  Maybe you can order Amla oil over the net if you want to try it.  I find that in the winter my hair craves it alot.

Hi honey!  I do not know the names of the ivy I got but here's a pic of them.
http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo96/Junkboxxgirl/ivy.jpg
They were only a dollar each at the store down the block. :)
I tryed a small bowl fountain but I need to find the right place for it.  I use to keep it in the window of my old place and put plants around it. Which had a nice effect I am just trying how to do that here.. :-?
I say give the salt lamps a go.  There very pretty and perhaps they will help with the blahs. :)  
I am feeling a bit better now.  I do know that the sad feelings will come and go.  I guess it all part of changes in my life. Thankfully I have my friends here at Longlocks. :)  I love you all! :) :-*

Dear Hair Diary,

Washed my hair with Shikakai powder yesterday and followed with lavender conditioner and a dab of Ojon.  Woot!  Hair came out very nice!!  

Today I am making a speical treat for Don.  It's an Itailan meat pie.  It stuffed with cheese and ham.  I know he cannot wait! lol!!!  

Been a bad girl and have been up late watching scary movies.  I downloaded some freaky crap...J horrors. ::) Not for the timid!!!

Anyway I am off :)

Thanks for posting the pic.  The one on the right looks the most familiar to me, perhaps English Ivy.  Anyway, I may go with silk plants.  The area where I'm putting it is high so it's fakeness probably won't be noticable anyway.

Can you put your fountain in between the plants where they are now?

I like fountains and plants together too.  I had a set up like that on my meditation altar but my plant got too big so I recently had to repot it so now I need a new one. :P  Too bad I don't have a store close to me that sells plants for a dollar.  That's a sweet deal. :)

Thank you la Diosa I am feeling alot better :)

This is what I did with the plants in the window.

http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo96/Junkboxxgirl/window1.jpg
I added my buddah fountain and a new plant!  I think its a Pothos (sp)?  I got two and out them in one pot. There is also Don's lucky bamboo plant to the left of the green bunny.  The other ivy is on the tv.  My bonsai is gone..oh well.. :-[  I might get another on though! :)  You peaked my interest with the silk plants. I want to get some sort of tree for the hall way...a fung shui thing...to detract attention from my bedroom upon coming down the hall from the front door.  Once we get blinds for the windows I will be putting plants in the bedroom too.  That leaves the washroom...was thinking of a Boston fern...don't know yet, mind you a stag horn fern would be awesome!!  My area has tons of house and outdoor plants at the convences stores..cheap too! The green thumb is at it again :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Hairs quite happy with the previos treatment :)   Need more Shikakai powder. I am back to religously oiling my hair at night.  I spray down the ends with rosewater and then just add a dab of Jojoba oil.  Sometimes I perfume the oil as well, mostlly with BPAL scents.  Been doing the bun thing alot.

Don got me a calligarphy pen and I have been having a ball!  He was quite impressed with my Japanese characters http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0025.gif  It fun to see how our realtionship is growing.  We learn new things about each other.  Don`s other girlfriends (after his wife passed) were, for lack of a better word, airheads.  Hence he was never exposed to alot of art or culture.  He is getting use to it and is learning to appericate it which is really cool.  He is also a water sign so this helps a bit.  We are pieces and scropio and interesting combo.  (Ìm the pieces)http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sign0192.gif`

Today is D day the the mouse that has been running around our place!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/fighting0002.gif  I have reset the traps. this morning I got up, came into the kitchen and the little bugger was sitting on the floor looking at me like haha!!  Wooo it s war now!!

hehehhheh!!!

bye for now!

Dear Hair Diary,

Washed today and put in some curl activator plus frizz serum.  What a day!
We had nasty rain storms and hail the size of marbels!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/scared0016.gif They were hitting the windows so hard I am surpised they did not break.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/ashamed0006.gif and of course I was watching a scary ass movie to boot!

In other news...Don's Grandma on his fathers side, passed away today, she was 96.  Wakes on Monday, funreal on Tuesday. Poor Don, he has dental surgery on Tuesday morning.  He is dreading this funeal with a passion.  All I can do is be strong for him.  http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sad0137.gif  I plan to wear my hair in simple bun with a small white flower in the middle, along with a black dress, pearls and my mothers broach.   Only thing I am missing is the purfume Anise Anise. (sp?) I find it quite soothing in stressful times.

Anyway I got some busy days ahead me.

Lisa

I love the smell of Anais Anais!

Your outfit sounds very nice.  Sorry for Don's loss.

I love to watch scary movies when its storming-I light lots of candles and hope the power doesn't go out before the movie is over!

I wore Anais Anais all through my twenties.  I,too found it calming.
I'm sorry for Don's loss. :(  My sympathies to you and him.  My only surviving Grandma is 97 and I know it will affect me deeply when she goes.
I think your outfit will be perfect for the funeral.

I still buy Anais Anais from time to time.  It's a good price for the amount you get and it's easy to wear on most days.  Well, it depends on the individual body chemistry.  It's nice to have one to return to that they don't suddenly discontinue.  

Thanks so much ladies.  I will pass your condolinces on to Don.

Still trying to find the right purfume for the funeral.  This is what I have...
Eliz Arden Green tea, Beauty and 5th Avenue. Chanel #5 Coco and Allure.  Opium  by YSL, Chance by Jeffery Bean, Celine Dion notes, Amarige by Givenchy, French Connection UK, and Harajuku lovers in G and Love.

I was thinking maybe the Chanel #5??

My condolences to Don and his family. He's very lucky to have had a grandparent around for so long. 96 years is a long, healthy life.

5th Avenue and Chanel #5 are both good choices. Classic and elegant.

All the best.

Thanks Hon :)  I think I am going to go with the #5.

My sympathy to Don on the death of his grandmother.  *hugs*

I'm sorry for Don's loss.  Your outfit for the funeral sounds lovely.

Don says thank you so much for your kind words :)

Poor thing is having surgery in one hour :-/  His past drug use has really messed up his teeth. We have  two tow truck driver friends, Paul and Brian, willing to pick us up from the dentist if Don cannot drive (stubbon mule!) They will just put the car on the hook and drive us home.  I hope it goes well as Don is NOT looking forward to this... :-/

Uh huh.

Say no to drugs, kids.

Dear Hair Diary,

The last few days went well.  My hair behaved!  Don's surgery went off without a hitch. The wake and funreal went well.  I am so tired I can sleep for a week.   :P

Dear Hair Diary,

Had an awesome Victoria Day weekend with Don.  Saturday night we saw Star Trekk!  Way cool!!!  Sunday we had an adventure down town we took the streetcar and visited all sorts of shops and street vendors.  We saw a lot street performers; my fav was a cute little old Chinese man playing a Erhu ( a Chinese violin) one stringed guitar with a bow.  
http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo96/Junkboxxgirl/sliverguy.jpg

http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo96/Junkboxxgirl/chinsesedudeandme.jpg

I did my hair in to little buns on the top half of my hair, covered these with little black lace bun covers and added some pink tiny clips that had ribbons ending on diamond hearts.  I saw a beauty outlet and went and had a boo.  Don found some ez combs!!! I almost fainted!!!  I have not been able to find that hair toy in my country and have been looking like mad.  Needless to say Don loved it and got me one.  It has light lavender pearls and bits of pink crystals.  I LOVE it!!!   I think they were mentioned here as African butterfly combs?

Later we watched the fireworks at the lakeshore from our backyard. It was the best Victoria Day I ever had! :) :)
 
Lisa ;)

That pic of you is too cute! :D  I'm glad you had a great Victoria Day...although I'm not aware of that holiday. ::)  What is it?

Nice pic!! You look de-stressed and happy!

La diosa -  Thanks so much!  hehe I tend to be leaning a bit to the more Gothic Lolita thing lol!  Ah, Victoria Day is when Canadians celerbrate Quenn Victoria's Birthday :)

Curlygirl -  Thanks so much!  :)

I used to like the EGL styles when I still had a face that could get away with it.  I discovered the style when I was frustrated that I couldn't find a functional combination of Victorian and 1950s styles.  Now I just like mature 1950s styles and I don't think my face looks young enough for EGL anymore.

Hi, Isabeau, have you seen Star trek yet?  I'm interested in your opinion.   :)

EGL sounds really cool!  Mature 50's styles sounds great too. Ala Dita von Tease would be neat to try :)

Hi Hon,

Yes I did see Star Trek!  The only thing I did not like was the new Kirk...he did not pull my chain!  Otherwise it was a thrill to all the other characters!  I hated how they made us wait to see Scotty.  I liked the new spock, got a kick out of Mccoy and loved the fight sceen with Sulu!  All in all I liked the movie. I Had tears in my eyes to see how old Lenord Nemoy has gotten :'(  I give the movie 4 stars :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Spent the last three days looking after a very sick Don.  He seems to be getting better which is good.  I feel kinda crappy...not enough sleep I guess. :-[

I have been enjoying using the ez comb :)  My hairs been nice and curly. I got a nice floral and feather hairtoy in black and teal at the dollar store.  I glue gunned it to a french clip.  I also got some cute clips shaped liked cocolate muffins :)  I also got some nail polish, black, pearl light blue and clear with hearts floating in it.  We got some neat dollar stores in the area.

Anyway I am off http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/indifferent0028.gif

Dear Hair Diary,

My Don is all better now and back to work!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0100.gif  I went out with him yesterday on the truck as it was his firit day back and I helped him.  He's still taking his meds and ventolator and has to finish them off.  I made him Goulash and biscuts for dinner tonight! :)

Been having fun with my hair.  I go some cute hair ribbons and clips from the dollars store.  I also found some vintage clips in a old little drugstore in my area.  I got the ones shaped like cups cakes!  Too Cute!!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0176.gif

Had the pest control people in today putting down bait for the mice. Still waiting for the super to come with the screens for the windows.  According to my neighbor upstairs there will be a big bug plague very soon.  http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/scared0001.gif We already got the eel flys, but the next lot are big and nasty things lacy wings. :o

Tonight I am taking a long bath!!  :)

Lisa :)

Dear Hair Diary,

It's a rainy day...time for more scary movies!!  I watched The Grudge 3 lastnight, it was really good! (Poor Don hide in the other room)  Hairs doing good.  Been collecting the shedded hairs and now have almost enough to make a nice rat :)  Been using Giovanie leave in spray at night before bed instead of the oil with great results! :)  

Well, I am off to do housework..  :P

Dear Hiar Diary,

Don came home for lunch today and gave me a bottle of Harajuko Lovers perfume!!  He got me his fav with is "G".  I was so tickled!! That plus a phone card and $50 bucks to got shopping!!  What a sweet heart my Don is!!!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0003.gif I go through that perfume alot so it great to have more!!

Hairs been nice and curly.  I wore it down today when I went shopping.  Got some cute ribbon hair ties along with other goddies.  I got another Lucky Cat figurine at the candy store and some herbs and houseplants as well.  

Later Don is picking me up and I get to work with him tonight.  He's been working every nigth till 10:00 trying to make up for being sick for a week. I was so scared when he was sick.  I did not sleep for three days!  Don has asthma and high blood pressure so having pneumonia was dangerous..coupled with his weight and age eeeee!

Before I forget! Saw the cutest thing the other night.  I was laying in bed with Don and I heard a squeaking sound from the window.  I got up and saw two bats hanging from the window sil!  They were soo small and fuffy! Kaweiii!!!!  Now we do not have screens on our windows yet so I made sure the curtain was closed.  Happyly they did not come in for a visit. ::) I told Don not to kill them if they did, just throw a towel over it and let it go.

Anyway I am off!

I'm sure that was pretty cool to have them outside your window.  I had one fly in my apartment once.  It was the first close encounter that I'd ever had with a bat.  To say that I was extremely frightened and freaked out would be an understatement.  :P

Angel - I have always loved bats, my three tattoos are all bat motifs :)

La Diosa - I loved that perfume! :)  I understand you being afriad of bats. (((hugs))) I am terrified of centapieds and had one in my old place a flew winters ago. :o I never thought I could get up on a table that fast!

Dear Hair Diary,

Hairs been doing good.  Woot need to get measured tonight!  I should do a heat cap treatment soon.  When out on the tow truck with Don yesterday. I made onigiri and fancy cut veggies for our bento boxes.  
Lastnight when we got home the neighbors cat was in our place. Thank god he did not grab my budgie bird! :( Don just looked at him and he ran to the window.  We had to lock the windows and put on the fan cause it was very hot.  I got to go complain to the super today. :P

I got a really cool short tartan skirt and some nice blouses at Talize (second hand store)  The school girl look is really cool and I was able to pull it off quite well! ;D  I wore black tights and my mary jane shoes with a white blouse.  Got lots of complements and googles... ;D

Oh I found this really neat product!  Its called Body Glide anti blister and chafing stick.  It works reall well on the back of my heals to prevents blisters!  My mary janes are a little tight on me so I put this stuff on and not problems all day!  www.bodyglide.com

Anyway I am off :)

I love bento!!!  You must visit www.justhungry.com and the sister site www.justbento.com for tips and recipes!!!

Dear Hair Diary,

I have been exprementing with rolling my hair to give it a more managed look.  I tryed orange perm rods.  What I did was dampen my hair with rosewater and a bit of curl spray.  Then rolled my hair and left it in till it dryed.  My hair looks a little more managed but a bit more straight :-?  I used papers on the ends to protect them and all.  Still do not know if I am going to keep with this...

Don is gone till Sunday doing church work so I have some free time. I miss him already.. :-[  His kids are coming over to see me tomorrow and Saturday which will be great!  His daughter is giving me this awesome japanese/chinese cut out picture that her boyfriends brother has.  I had seen it at her place and loved it.  When the guy found out he said I could have it.  Too cool! 8-)

I finally got the one perfume set I have been drooling over since last year!  I saw it at SDM priced down from 60 bucks to 40!  It's the Harajuku Lovers solid perfume.  It's he doll heads from the perfume bottles.  I saw them when I was out getting some tights with Don the other day and he was like oh that's the ones you were talking about!  Poor guy, needs to get out more!  LOL!!  Anyway I got them now! Don's a big cologne person himself everthing from Axe to Baldessarini.  Wish I still worked at SDM, we would have tons of free perfume and cologne.  Well, not that I did not try to get back into the company...I must be on there shit list...oh well...there loss. ;)

I finally found my ipod nano!  Now I have tunes to go!  We had Manderin last night for dinner.  We got the promo coffee cups free with out coffee and tea. My god they are sooooo big!!!  I can use them as soup cups. There a spring green with pink writing.  Roght now the Manderin has the 30 year anniversery thing going.  there giving away 30 trips to Japan!!! :D They give you a faux passport thingy you get stamped everytime you come and I have two stamps so far, once I get 5 I put the page in the drop box.  Wish me luck!!!

Anyway to day I am going to do a heat treatment on my hair, facial and my nails.

Bye for now :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

Was saddened to hear the new about David Carradine this morning :'(  I was a big fan and was so happy his life was on the up and up.  I met Mr. Carradine years ago at one of my Ex husbands work fuctions.  He was so nice.  Poor thing... :'(

Today I am repotting house plants.  I got a really neat plant from Don's brother Lance a few weeks ago.  It looks like a cactus but lives outside on lawns.  Its like a flat rose with spkies on the end.  I got some herbs, rosmary, basil, and parsley.  Having trouble with a small madian hair fern, can't find the right window to put it in... :-/ Larry (Don's Dad) gave me a baby spider plant and it too doesn't want to grow.  :P  Other wise my vines are taking over!  I recall the time I had over 100 houseplants...welcome to the jungle! LOL!!

Bye for now :)

Dear Hair Dairy,

This morning I was awoken at day break by the man down the hall singing "Oh Canada" on top of his lungs, needless to say he could not sing >:(  After he finished I went out in the hall and yelled Play Ball!! ;D Stupid bugger...

Don's coming home tomorrow!!!  He's been calling me three times a day to check in.  I miss him alot :'(  His childern came and visited yesterday and today.   I like his kids very much and they cheered me up alot.  I have not been sleeping well but that goes with missing my Don :'(  I have a problem that I cannot be alone at night.  I wanted to borrow his father's dog, a collie named Cuddles,  but his step mother is too attached to it. :-/  We plan on getting a cat.  I have been looking at Scottish Folds, there soo cute! :)

Hairs been curly and behaving.  The coconut heat treatment worked like a charm :)

Anyway I am doing laundry right now so I am off!
Lisa :)

I have the same problem when my husband goes away and it usually brings on an anxiety attack.  However, after the first night alone I'm ususally fine.

Thats a good idea.  But, why did you decide not to get another bunny?

I hate hub being away too.  It takes me forever to fall asleep alone.

Oh honey I would love another bunny but after 15 years with Bunnicula no other rabbit could compair to him... :'(  Hence it is high time I got a cat again. I haven't had one in years and miss it.  I did want a dog but a St. Bernard is way too big for this place.

Dear Hair Dairy,

Hairs doing good despite that time of the month is rolling around very soon. :P  Been working on my houseplants.  Got new pots and saucers. The mini jungle is growing!  I saw something awesome today!  I have flowers on my polka dot plant! Little tiny pink ones! so cute!  I miss my bonsai tree... :-/  But you never know I might get another one.  Pinched back my basil and repotted the lavender I got the other day. The Pothos vine I have its getting ready to take over! ;D

Here is a pic of the chinese bird picture Shawn gave me :)

http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo96/Junkboxxgirl/birdpicture.jpg

It is made completey of feathers!  I put it in Don's area of the bedroom as it reminds me of the hawk he has tattooed on his forearm.  The was a bit of posturing between Shawn and Don nothing serious...men are silly. lol! ::)

Yawn!  The nieghbor had us up at 2 this morning taking on her speaker phone...dumn %^&*!  Don told her off and she shut up.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/char1/character0029.gif  Needless to say I am falling asleep.. :P

Beautiful picture!

Thanks love! :)

Dear Hair Diary,

I've been sick these last few days...yuck!  Nothing worst then having a cold and then Aunt Flo comes over! :P  Don came home last night and cooked us dinner. Gota love it! :)

Been watching some old movies I had...they brought back some sad memories, ah well...

Well I am off to watch Twilight, Don's daughter gave it to me so I will give it a spin!

bye for now :)

Dear Hair Diary,

Been vey hot in my neck of the woods!  Have beem wearing my hiar up lot.  For bed I put it in a very high pony tail.  I saw some Sauve condtinior at the super maket lastight and it got me thinking of doing CO's again.  

In other news I might be getting a weekend job at a gas station.  It would be great to have my own money again. :)  Found some intetesting things in the dumpster the other day including a 3 foot tall champange glass.  I am going to use it as a fish bowl. :)  As for the movie Twilight, it was interesting, but I think geared more for the younger crowd.
Emailed my Ex and told him he can pay for our divorce...I have yet to hear from him. >:(

Anyway I am off
Lisa :)

I hope you find employment soon.  Is it hot and dry or hot and humid where you live?  Just a bit of humidity on a lukewarm day is enough to wreck havoc on my scalp.

Thanks Drear :)  It hot and humid here.  I live on the lakeshore so at least there a breeze at night.  We got fans going but they make arthritis flare up. :P

Dear Hair Diary,

It finally rained making it alot cooler here! :D  I got caught in the rain and my hair  went a bit frizzy but fixed it with some leave in condiinor.  

Other:  Got a message from the Ex regarding the divorce.  He was away for two weeks and had not aswered my mail (yeah right!)  He did answer when I said I was going for a full divorce.  He is willing to pay the 200 for the none contested so I have to hear back from him were we are going to meet.  I would rather slide naked down a 50 foot greased razor blade then to see him again but the least the bastard can do is pay.http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/fighting0050.gif
The job at the gas station is a no go.  It a full service station and pumping gas is not for me.   Ugh...there's a man in my complex who has been getting fresh with me.  http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0099.gif Don is ready to smash him! God I hate it when some men just cannot help but be perverts!http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/mad0127.gif It's like @#$% off buddy I am with someone... pisses me off!

Well I am off to have spa day! I need it!
Lisa

One door closes and another one opens!  Don't sweat the gas station thing,bigger and better are coming for you sweetie!

Enjoy your time at the spa!  Makes me wish I had some time to go,too!!

Have you said this to him?  There comes a time when women must stop being nice and/or trying not to offend anyone.  --Speak up and tell hiim plainly and simply.

Geesh, there's some serious verbal imagery! :o

Some men? Try ALL men. Modern guys act like animals because it's become socially acceptable - even expected. All women have to do is not tolerate it...yet, they do. So nothing changes.

Even if they aren't acting on it, they're thinking it.

Some women tolerate it because they're afraid of being seen as being hysterical.  I'm fine with that label>>>hysterical woman.

Curlygirl - Thanks hon! I do my "Spa Day" at home :)

Trisha, Angel and Drear, Its sad that men are asses..but if you know me I do not take much crap.  I did tell him were to go so not to worry, plus he had no idea which building I live in.  Don is getting me some Mace as well.

Dear Hair Diary,

Hairs been dong okay.  The hot weather does not help at all.  Got to go to the beach yesterday and cool off a bit.  Actuallly it was lake ontario, not the ocean :-[  I was the only person trippng around with a hat to protect my hair and was wearing spf 50 sunblock.  

The Ex got back to me and agree's to give me the money for the divorce.  So I am waiting for him to contract me.   I gave him one week to come up wth the money and he sad no problem.

Anyway I am off
Lisa

Dear Hair Diary,

Went to the Pride parade on the weekend.  It was fun! We met up with Don's son and his girlfriend. When I got home I found, too my horror, that I had a glob of gum in my hair! :o  Lots of peanut butter later it was out.  Oh man I was not impressed. >:( Don sat and painstakingly helped me get the gum out, he's very good at it. :)

Anyway I am going back to bed!
Yawn!
Lisa

That's just awful with your hair! :o  I hope the damage isn't too extensive.  On anything but hair I'd recommend freezing the gum to pick it off.  I have no idea how you get gum out of your hair.

It wasn' the first.  When was a kid I had some put in my hair and had to have it cut out. :-[ As far as we can let there was no too much damage.  It was at the back of my head.  Being slathered with peanut butter was a whole new exprence! :P

Dear Hair Diary,

Hair looked like a Medusa this morning. I got it all gathered in a bun less it strangles someone!  ;D
Today is laundery day so I am getting it all done.  I have a little "guest" over right now.  My next door neighbor's cat comes in my window and visits. http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/Animals/animals-29.gif She is never home and this boarders on animal abuse. The cat pushes open the window and comes to my sile.

Anyway I really want to try the cherry blossom shampoo and condish Curly mentioned.  Also I am getting my own website soon and will be selling hair stuff I make.

Anyway on to the laundery...

Absolutley wishing you the best of luck! :)

Thanks ladies!  Its still undercontruction but here's a look at it.http://www.lisastreasures.ca/index.html  The colors are not what I wanted...too dark. the web designer seems to have ingnored the color palette I sent him.

We looked high and low in two towns and still could not find Suave Wild Cherry blossom condtioner.http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/Sad/sad-030.gif.  The only thing we found was the coconut and the strawberry so I stocked up on them.  Don tryed a CO wash lastnight!  I was suprised. He did his goatee too. His hair came out nice and soft.  I should not be suprised really, he is Metrosexual. LOL!!

Cool site, lady. :)

I wouldn't be too bummed about not finding the Suave wild cherry blossom conditioner. Smells like an old lady's bathroom IMO. ::)

Dear Hair Diary,

Been working on my websire a bit.  Photograped some hair toys I made and sent them to the web designer.   Hopfully he can get it together soon.  

Having trouble with the Ex.  No word from him regarding the money.  Don mailed him so we will see what happens.  I do not think anything will happen.  For some reason Don is pissed that I want to get the divorce. http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/Confused/sorry.gif This confuses me.  He says that things happen in time.  Right, but if I do not start the ball rolling on this then when?  I want that stupid man out of my life!  Lock, stock and barrel!http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/Unhappy/cursing-042.gif

Today I get to see my shink - whoop de do!  I did some are lastnight, made a few pastel drawings.  Something to ease the boardom...

bye for nowhttp://freesmileyface.net/smiley/Sleepy/sleep-029.gif
