important updates

1. i had a breakthrough yesterday morning. i used ONLY my brush and hairdryer to do my hair.... no straightening iron... and my hair stayed straight allllll daaaay looong!! for too long i have operated under the assumption that i either have to iron those curls out, or use some scrunchie gel and let my hair air dry. this latest discovery is exactly the combination i was searching for: an efficient use of my time, minus the bum-like hair that air-drying produces.

2. did my third night of jillian michaels' 30 day shred. still on level 1, though its getting easier... a little. 

3. just got back from a delicious vietnamese dinner at pho bihn with friends. it's a little hole-in-the-wall place but it will knock your socks off. the lemongrass tofu is breathtaking. and no, i'm not exaggerating.

ok, time to study.

saturday = pampering

new haircut and massage in the same day!? who can be that lucky???

ME.

sean gave me a massage for my birthday, and i have yet to use it. so i'm heading over to massage envy on saturday for one whole hour of complete and total bliss.

but before that, i'm getting my hair cut. i'm going to a new salon, since my regular place is too expensive for this economic time. so i'm taking a little leap of faith and going to a new place and new person. which is kind of a big deal for me, since i get a little protective about who cuts my hair.

i cannot wait to get pampered!! eeek! I LOVE IT.

decision '09

OK.

having no job has forced me to get creative in my daily activities and thoughts. here's what i came up with today:

1. i am not completely sure that i want my hair as long as it is right now. especially because the summer is fast approaching, i am leaning towards getting a little chop chop. nothing too drastic, still below my shoulders, but not as heavy and hot as my current 'do. to illustrate...

2. i think i will need a hat for the beach. mexico AND FLORIDA (that's right!! family vacation has been added to the agenda... it deserves, and will get, it's own blog post... so stay tuned). for the next two and a half weeks, i will be on the lookout for the perfect beachy hat. loves it!
