So Much For That Plan
Ok, so I didn't quite get around to posting today like I had planned and indicated I would last night. So here's the quick-and-dirty version of random thoughts and subjects I've been meaning to discuss. (In no order whatsoever.)
Ok, I think that's enough. I want to take a shower tonight so I can color my hair tomorrow. (You need to give it a little time between shampooing last and coloring to protect your scalp.) It's only a semi-permanent color (No ammonia/28 shampoo things) and it's a color called "Cinnaberry." It's reddish. I thought it might be fun to brighten it up a bit since it's been like two or more years since I've colored it. Anyway, if I want to do it, I need to shower now, so I'll close here. Besides, I think I babbled enough.
TTFN!
Ok, so I didn't quite get around to posting today like I had planned and indicated I would last night. So here's the quick-and-dirty version of random thoughts and subjects I've been meaning to discuss. (In no order whatsoever.)
- Only found the replacement brush assembly in one vacuum repair store but they wanted $30 for a $17.95 part. No thanks. Ordered it last week online. Finally arrived today. (Why it took FedEx a week to get it to Florida from Texas I'll never know.) I installed it and vacuumed this afternoon. Success!
- Thank goodness David Cook won American Idol. He totally deserved it. Archy has the personality of a wet piece of paper. On a good day. I was totally expecting the annoying kid to win so I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong.
- Monday night as I was getting ready for bed I started to get the twinge of a migraine arriving. But I thought, "oh, I'll just go to sleep instead of taking something." Bad idea. I tossed and turned all night, and kept waking up. (Not fully enough to get up and take something, just enough to be in pain.) Tuesday morning, I woke up with a full-blown migraine around 9am, so I took some Excedrin. Tried to lay back down but then my stomach got into the mix. A couple hours of tummy issues plus now feeling queasy from all that caffeine on an empty stomach, I managed to sleep for another hour and change before getting up and running an obscene amount of errands. (We're talking like five hours of errand running and like eight stores/stops or something.)
- I got to see the brown color of the Canon PowerShot SD1100 in person at Best Buy. I think I like it. It's sorta root beer like in color. I've got a $35 gift card sitting around for them, plus a $5 off and a 12% off one item coupon. Combined, it's cheaper than I can get it on the internet. So I might be buying that tomorrow. Yay birthday present!
- Felt bad because I had a person email me once in April about four pairs of earrings. Wanted to send a money order after May 1st. Replied with the info but never heard back. Assumed they changed their mind. (It happens. I get drive-by inquires that never turn into sales pretty commonly.) Flash forward to Monday when I finally get the stuff from my PO box for the first time all month. (Because it's a half hour drive away by my mom's.) Inside? A money order from the person. Jeez. I emailed to tell her I received it, apologized for the delay and got the order out today but still never heard from her again. Weird. So many people are all "ZOMG! Where's my stuff?!?" like a day after sending payment and she emailed once and that was it. Felt bad, but how was I supposed to know she followed through...? (Still, oops.)
- Also speaking of Monday, I went up to Mom's to have my family birthday celebration. My mom, Nanny and sister came over and we all had a nice lunch and cake. Mom gave me the clothes and pair of shoes I picked out back in March and sis and Nanny gave me cash. (Whoo hoo! I get to buy more stuff for myself!) My sister's looking great. It's amazing how much her hair's grown in a month since I last saw her. It's not just fuzz, it's actual hair now. It looks like an actual hairstyle. (A short one, mind, but actual hair.) And her eyebrows and eyelashes are totally back too. She's doing great and it's so cool to see her with actual hair again. (Though she's grumpy that it's too short to show off in public yet. *chuckles* Mom and I agreed it was looking great.) Oh and it's so soft. Totally new hair that's never been mistreated or over processed, you know? :) Anyway, for those of you who've inquired, she's doing great. Happy to be done with all the treatments and eager to get back into normal life again.
Ok, I think that's enough. I want to take a shower tonight so I can color my hair tomorrow. (You need to give it a little time between shampooing last and coloring to protect your scalp.) It's only a semi-permanent color (No ammonia/28 shampoo things) and it's a color called "Cinnaberry." It's reddish. I thought it might be fun to brighten it up a bit since it's been like two or more years since I've colored it. Anyway, if I want to do it, I need to shower now, so I'll close here. Besides, I think I babbled enough.
TTFN!
