wOw!! ok, so my body is THAT out of shape!!! just woke up with R foot KILLING me!! must have pulled a tendon, as this pain is wayyy beyond pulled muscle level :O well, i guess it's just old-fashioned "elbow grease" that i used last night to clean that bathroom. i have no regrets of course. just walking by it and looking at how clean it is, is enough proof for me to know that i did the right thing. since i go thru times of being completely incapable of physical labor-ie: housework, when i get the energey and desire in one, i capitalize on it! as well i should, considering it can be months of doing nothing :( the floors need desperate vaccuming, the livingroom needs to be tidied, must get all those "donation" bags, make a sign saying, "free, plz help yourself" and bring them ALL to the laundry room :) ppl do that here. i've acquired a few interesting and nice things there. ummm, on 2nd cup of coffee now, watching, or rather, listening to "Charmed" on TNT, one of my most watched channels, on my 13" non-flat screen, $65 walmart tv :) a new 20" or a lil bigger flat-screen tv is NOT on the top of my list of things we need. at the TOP of my list currently, is hair eXtensions! the GOOD kind. i have 2 right now, each has a large clip, you are really only supposed to wear one at a time and make one ponytail in the back, but i have always worn them as 2, "pig-tails", and having that longer, thicker, wavy blonde hair makes me feel supremely GLORIOUS! in fact, i am going to wear them today :) haven't done so in ages! i put lil braids in a few places on them, sort of near the front, and used pretty hair ties, which i also kind of collect! where is the best place to buy those, you ask? humorously enough, it's the "girls-7-14" section at walmart. i've gotten quite a few things there, including a 6-pak of sparkly/glittery? barrettes/clips/w.e. which i never seem to wear. i have tiny hair decorations that i've had since December 2000, which i don't wear. some are tiny flowers that have velcro to keep them in. stuff like that. i do believe i'm going to break out that drawer in my jewelry box today and do up my clip-ons, which rena calls "chipmunks", lol....most ppl are fooled into thinking they are real, when i used to wear them aLOT back in late '07, all of '08. they cost me $12 a peice at walgreens :) Margaret did my hair on march 25th, the day my car broke on the way home from that appt! and she did "foils" of color instead of bleach. i like it MUCH better because there seems to be some kind of "dimension", not as much as rena's of course, that's because she did a full and i did between a partial and full. i haven't even held up my eXtensions in the mirror to see if they match this new glorious color! it def looks best in the sun. when i wear them, i HAVE to wear "pig-tails"-(dislike that phrase, i just call them 2 ponytails). i'll post those 2 pics of me with them in, even tho i posted pics of me way back in the stone ages, when i created this journal, lol, which would be april 15th i believe. at one point i had bought expensive eXtensions at the mall, 2 for $85-$90, the clips were soooo small i couldn't maneuver them, not to mention she lied to me and said they matched my hair color. not true! they were more of an ashy-blonde, which is lovely and looks amazing on my rena, but NOT on me. i am more goldish, with maybe some honey in there. so after i bought those, i crazily went back and bought aNOTHER pair :O so now we're talkin $180, currayzee!!! what i ended up doing was, attaching them to my regular clip-ons, covered where the 2 connect with thick black cotton headband, and braided them. i will show that pic last. now THAT looks fakie :( but i wore them anyways!! cuz i am completely, out of my mind, currayzee for super-long hair!! since my hair is baby fine and thin, it has been hard to grow it. i spent way to many decades self-coloring, thereby ruining it, or breaking it, and up until 2005 it was not in good shape. i discovered Margaret in early 2005 and in 5 yrs she has been able to do something no one else could ever do, she saved my hair! no layers, all one length, it seems to be that i actually have "more of it" than before (as i saw a friend a yr ago, who i hadn't seen since 2000 and she said that exact same thing :) i am very careful with my hair. i use shampoo (currently VO-5, $1.00), but am open to trying a "color-preservation" type shampoo. i don't use conditioner because it makes it look/feel much to fine/no body or volume... i do NOT blow dry, or maybe once a yr. i do NOT brush it when it's wet, i use a pick, like she told me. i do NOT perm, i do NOT use curling irons or anything else. no mousse or gel, and unfortunately, "root lifter" doesn't even seem to make it feel better, so i forego that as well. last summer i was excited about the length and started wearing really high ponytails, with a wispy, or thicker peice, left out and framing my face (will show that pic as well, in my ballerina costume). those wispy/frame peices never seem to get longer, although i know they must be. so! i was doing that last summer and the hair ties were starting to make my hair break. i would have my ponytails "done-up" and would even sleep in them. in by doing so, i was def causing problems. so this summer, i will try to not overdo that. right now i have "low-ponytails", which just means they are tied right around my ears as opposed to almost the top of my head. see pic below to explain that :O anyways!!!!! tangent much?? lol. i do go on. however, in defense of that, i am def noticing that the more i blog/journal, the more my vocab increases and the more i shed the ghetto talk/spelling :) mom was happy when i told her that yest. it kind of grows on you, like moss, lol....when you LIVE in a ghetto, which we DO, you tend to take on that "low-life" way of acting, talking, etc. i was not raised that way, so i am glad that journaling is helping me to rise above that "ghetto gurl", lol....alas....spelling "gurl" like that will probably stick. but i am trying NOT to spell "the" "tha", and "just" "juss". i notice also that i am speaking differently. mom noticed it as well. i was super polite when i called my "road-side assistance" yest. i was super polite to the woman and was saying, "yes maam" etc. instead of anger ruling my calling ppl like that, ie; like companies; verizon, t-mobile, and such. i am also trying to not swear as much. it's very hard because it's something i've been doing since i was 12 :O let's see....how many yrs IS that? ok, since 1975, which would make it 35 yrs, yikes! lol.... that's a tough one. however! i DO notice that when i flip out and do cuss like currayzee (that sp is going to stick too ;) i pray afterwards for God to forgive me. i have learned that i AM a human, a person, i HAVE mental frailties, i am NOT them. that means instead of saying, "i am borderline" or "i am bipolar", or "i am an alcoholic", i can now say, "i HAVE borderline personality disorder, i HAVE bipolar and i HAVE the disease of addiction! it definitely brings down the level of shame attached to these "frailties", which is the word i choose to use :) k, rambling now, must "reel myself back in". going to leave pics of me, with my eXtensions, as well as me withOUT them (ballet pic) to better explain the "wispies/front peices" that i leave out. and one pic of when i had BOTH sets of eXtensions in, and hair was down to my waist, WOW :)))))))))))))))) THAT was soooo AWESOME!!! k, here they are :)

this is my regular hair, trying to show the idea of "wispies/front peices", outSIDE of the ponytails. the ponytails themselves don't look that fab here, used "Aussie Scrunch spray", which is the ONLY product i use and only once in a blue moon!! this was Oct '08. i was a sz 0. i weighed 91 lbs here, too thin, alas.... now i hover around 100 even.
these are the 2 dif types of eXtensions attached together. ok, i admit, it wasn't the best idea, but! i was desperate for superrrr-long hair!!! they're not even the same shade/hue of blonde :O the 2nd pair are the ones braided at the bottom. this was april '08. i weighed 104 lbs.
this was supposed to show just the PINK outfit. Shianne couldn't fit my head/legs in, so she centered it. i like it because i aDORE that PINK mini-skirt :) that was the same weekend that Dana painted my walls PINK :)
April '08.
this shows more of the hair peices together. Shianne's dig-cam did something strange to my chin, it does NOT look like that :O was also trying to get a pic of the PINK walls with natural sunlight. this is NOT a fav of mine.
the reZo on these next 2 is not that great. Shianne's dig-cam had settings wrong and pics came out huge, like larger than 2000 X 3000 pixels :O again, this is NOT a fav, just trying to show the 2 connected hair peices.
April '08.
LOVELOVELOVE having hair THAT long! what i wouldn't do to get the actual "real" eXtensions, where you go to a salon and it takes 6-8 hrs and costs around $1200 :( no can do! April '08.
these are pics with just the one pair of clip-ons. this pic is one of the better ones of me. thankfully i occasionally get a good one that is worthy of showing ppl :) not too horrible for a gurl MY age huh? lol ;)
luvin the silver glitter eyeliner :) April '08.
this one shows what a pretty shade of blonde my hair was then, and it matched the clip-ons. this was Nov. '07, i hadn't lost all my weight at that time. i was approx; 123 lbs, so my face looks very dif than other pics. i was playing a partial "scene gurl", or atleast a "wannabee". i was BEJEWELLED :)))) love jewelry!!!
this one also shows the pretty shade of blonde. i feel uncomfortable about posting this pic as i look "aged" in it :( was playing with my jewelry and LOVING it :))) Nov '07
i DEF don't really like this pic, again, OLD-looking :( but it shows the curly, wavyness of my hair. also shows jewelry, as well as my Nov '07 weight/look. you can also see behind me, my walls are not yet PINK :O
unfortunately, this one is blurry, because it didn't come out that bad :) playing with jewelry. the PINK you see behind me is my PINK fuzzy lamps, which give off a PINK hue to my room, as this was before dana painted it PINK. Nov '07.
unfortunately, this pic came out super dark!!! plus i shrunk it too much, reZo turned to kaka. ahhh well, my friend Jen said i look pretty in this pic, thx Jen :) Nov '07 - sz 11 pants are getting too big. approx 123 lbs.
this is a very special picture :) i can't remember what program i used online to do this. there are sooo many. i'll have to ask rena. she turned me onto it :) k, that's it, atleast of me.
ok, i just went to my "long hair" folder. there are 238 pics. i need to prioritize them. so i'm going to publish THIS entry and then after i get those in order i'll put up the very best/my extreme favs!!
