  • Beyond the point of no return

    I did it.  I made the appointment.  I am getting my hair colored tonight after work.

    I was going to get it cut, but Sebastian is out of town until the second week in March, so I’ll just wait.

    I’ll post pictures.

  • My Conservative Identity

    Kinda stolen from Tyche – except I had to search for the conservative complement to her Liberal Identity.  Haha, we never talk politics – that’s how we stay such good friends!

    How to Win a Fight With a Liberal is the ultimate survival guide for political arguments

    My Conservative Identity:

    You are a Free Marketeer, also known as a fiscal conservative. You believe in free-market capitalism, tax cuts, and protecting your hard-earned cash from pick-pocketing liberal socialists.

  • I think I have a repetitive motion injury

    My index finger on my right hand hurts like hell.  From using my mouse.  Playing World of Warcraft.

    Is that pathetic or what?  LOL

  • I want to ignore my diabetes!

    Fat Tuesday is coming up.  You know what that means.  Pacski!!! (pronounced poonch key)  These are polish donuts that are probably a gazillion calories, mostly carbs/sugar.  But maybe with a double-dose of insulin, I can have one (or two).  I normally don’t like jelly-filled donuts, but these are….mmmmmmmmmmmm almost better than sex.  (I said almost.)

    I am marking my calendar right now.  February 24 this year.

  • Inspired by my gray hair

    I’ll be the first to admit I color my hair.  In fact, when someone asks me what color my hair is, I usually respond with L’Oreal 5C – which translated means Medium Ash Brown.  The other day I noticed that I must have a few gray hairs right at the front where the color is fading faster.  Those strands look golden brown – a shade or two lighter than my other hair.  And I think I kind of like it.

    I think I’m going to make an appointment to have my hair colored a lighter ash brown with golden blond highlights.  Kind of like this picture of Jaclyn Smith (I wish I could get her face, too LOL)  There’s probably some air brushing going on here, but damn she looks great at 63!  I digress…  The coloring in her hair is kind of like what I had in mind. 

  • New web cam :-)

    I got a new web cam and recorded a bunch of videos at MySpace (karaoke).  It was a lot of fun.  So for anyone who is curious: Here is the link

    If you have a MySpace account, feel free to leave feedback   Let me know you came from Xanga, though.

    And since I spent my whole day off at MySpace karaoke, and there’s not time to do anything else on my list, I’m going to go play World of Warcraft LOL

  • I have tomorrow off work. I have so many plans for the day.  But I have a feeling I may sit in this chair and not move for the whole day.  But just so I have it written down somewhere, I want to:

    1. Clean up the kitchen
    2. Have my brakes looked at on my car
    3. Take my car somewhere so they can put the spoiler back on
    4. Fill my gas tank
    5. Do the Wii Fit (I haven’t touched it since the day after Christmas!)

    I’m also thinking about having my hair colored professionally.  I keep it dark brown, which is my natural color, but sadly enough, I am starting to get some noticeable gray (I guess at almost 53 years of age, I should expect this). I’m thinking I would like to have it done a lighter shade of brown, maybe a rich medium to light brown, with some golden highlights.

    I tried red once, but on the train I noticed almost every woman over 40 had some shade of red hair, so that was the last time I did red.  I have always liked my natural color, so I’ve basically tried to stick to it.  (This is what it looks like now.)

    I doubt I’ll get all that done in one day, but at least I have a list and maybe I can check off a few things lol

    Mac is playing this:

  • Happy Valentine’s Day

    Happy Valentines Day to everyone   Do you do anything for Valentines Day?

    We don’t.  We consider our Anniversary the special day for us. 

  • What is your earliest memory? How old were you at the time?

    My earliest memory was being passed to my aunt in a room that was bright yellow – gray marble-like table top and yellow marble-pattern chairs.  I later described it to my older brothers and they said it was impossible for me to remember that.  It was my Aunt and Uncle’s kitchen and I was only a few months old.  They moved away shortly after that. 

    Probably around the same time, I remember telephones always ringing with two long rings, then two short rings, then a long ring.  I made all my play telephones do that by dialing 0-0-1-1-0 all the time.  I later learned that the house we lived in until I was about 9 months old we had a party line and our ring was two long and two short.  My mom said she always let it ring that next long to be sure it was our call.

    Both memories were sensory (visual and audio) but not language.
