Drum roll please………..
General, Mental Health October 14th, 2008Here they are… pictures of my hair. Now, here’s a disclaimer…. hubby took these pictures and it was late last night. You are not seeing “fresh salon” hair. I had to wash my hair after the gym yesterday so it lost it’s “freshness”. I’m feeling a little frustrated with it because they make it look SO good when you get it done and once you wash it… POOF!! It never looks the same. But I need to have some time to play with it and figure it out. I still like it and I like the color. If anything, I’ll just start growing it out again.
Here’s a view from the front with me and a weird face b/c hubby was being a douche with the camera…

I like my hair cut, I really do. I just wish I could make it look as good as the girl did on Saturday. She got it perfectly straight and soft without using a flat iron. I flat iron it and I still get waves. And it isn’t nearly as soft as she made it…although I think it was the deep conditioner she used. She said my hair is really coarse (which is why it didn’t hold the color the last time I did it myself).
In other news…. I jumped on the scale today at the gym and I am DOWN a pound!! I am just on this side (the larger side) of 200. It was less than 201 though!! WOO HOO!! I guess I didn’t do as bad as I thought last week OR it will bite me next week. I had my session with the trainer. We did total body workout and I almost threw up!! I had to stop at one point for a few minutes because I became nauseated. That never happens, so I’m not sure why. I’m wondering if it was because I was low in my calories yesterday and didn’t get enough. I was going to eat a banana before I went today since I felt a little hungry, but I didn’t. Hmmm…. something to ponder.
AND in house news…. we will close either Wednesday (yes, tomorrow) or Friday. It was moved to Friday, but our mortgage guy (Jason Veritek’s (from the Red Sox) brother btw) called last night and said as long as the sellers were okay with moving it to tomorrow we could. We’ll know for sure today!! Exciting - but yet scary as well. At least I’ll know I’ll get some exercise this weekend since we’ll be pulling flooring out of the house. Anyone want to join us? Anyone? Bueler?
Oh, and getupnow…. my husband ate the enchiladas and he is not a bean person… but he IS an enchilada person. They do not taste “beany” so maybe you could get them past your husband

Good job and being so close to ONE-derland!
I like your cut. I have a hiarcut that is pretty close to yours. I have to blow dry it upside down and then flat iron it with slightly damp hair. I also flat iron it opposite of the way my hair waves. I also use a pomade which helps with making it smooth. I do think yours looks cute with the waves!
Take care
Joy

OH!! I love the hair!! I always think of Sophia Bush (from One Tree Hill) when I see your pics.
Congrats on the pound! I do wonder about the effects of insufficient calories. To me, it seems like there are times when my body can take it and times when it can’t. I just wish I knew how many calories my body really needs for just basic biological functions. I know there are calculators out there, but for some reason I never trust them. Anyway, it just seems to me like dipping below whatever that amount is could be rough on the body.
Have fun this week with the house stuff! How exciting!

I LOVE the hair! I’ve been wondering if it’s worth it to pay $150 to go to one of those super stylists who take your face shape, hair type, and everything else into consideration and give you the perfect cut that you don’t have to do anything to. DIL totally fried mine and I don’t know what to do about it.
Yeah, we’re in Madison. Up there in the boonies! Nothing but farmland and woods! (and my clawfoot tub in the garden). Hope we can go down there in a couple of weeks.
