6:00 P.M. - Finally home. Had a rough day at work and then rushed home to drop the boys off and went to get my hair done. ObiWan hairdresser says Stacy used rods that were too small and overprocessed my hair because its so fine. Best solution? Cut it short and wait for it to grow out. So I did. Looks pretty good right now but I don’t know how it’s going to do when I do it myself. Guess we’ll see in the morning.  Brandie, I think I’m going to have to get some good product!

I got scammed! It really burns my butt that I’d fall for an internet scam. Crap! You’d think I’d know better than that. I got an email that I could get a free Crest tooth whitening system if I just paid S&H. I clicked on it and it was a full page of testimonials about how well it worked and how I would get it for just S&H. I checked that thing, dammit! I read all of it and then sent off for it with my Visa number to pay for the S&H. Got it about a month ago and it’s been sitting on my dresser. There weren’t any papers with it other than the directions. Today I get an envelope with two little refill syringes of the whitening goo and a note that my account was billed $90.00 as agreed for my monthly shipment. Holy Moly! I called the number and they said I agreed to a membership on the terms and conditions of my free kit and I argued with him that I DID NOT agree to a membership and I read every word when I ordered my “free” kit. He said he’d “cancel” my “membership” but he couldn’t do anything about crediting my account. Said I’d have to go to the website and send them an email to request a refund. I did. Ten minutes later, I got the email back as “undeliverable”. Damn! Guess I got had. Watch out for this one, chickies! I’m a great example to my students…teaching them to recognize scams and predators on the internet and then falling for one myself. I’ve been good today. Think I deserve a beer. Can’t have it in the spa, though….

9:00 - Heading to bed soon.  Didn’t have a perfect day today but then, I didn’t aim for a perfect day.  I did okay.  Got up and weighed myself, 164.5, ate yogurt and an apple for breakfast, had a Lean Cuisine for lunch.  Didn’t plan on exercising because I wanted to go get my hair done and I had homemade chicken soup with rice for dinner.  Didn’t count calories but I know it’s in the ballpark.  Easy day today but tomorrow I’m going for the gold.  Aiming for a perfect day and my first workout of week 2 of c25k.

G’night, girls!
