glad that you got some good sleep waves!

Oh Mari Happy belated birthday!!!!
I kinda get the Dad reliving the night you were born. I do that on my kids birthdays, it is an emotional time when they place that helpless fragile bundle in your arms and there is so much love that you created this little imaage of ourself.

The beach sounds like such fun, especially at night with the breeze blowing off and a full moon. The space station flew over again last night 10:05 est. DH picked me up from grandbaby sitting at 1 am and we had the sun roof open and music blasting. Reminded me of 30 years ago when we dated.

Bizi a canoe ride, oh how neat. Just like Haiwatha, Sacagiwaya, spelling...?
Waves, great to read you!Sending a huge hug,

We have the pool up, the water is bone chilling from the mountain spring, but I have a solar cover on it now.
Everyone have as good a weekend as we all can.

the canoe trip was great yesterday!!!!
we really enjoyed it....very challenging, she led us thru really thick vegitation....on the shore, in the dark she fed us this fantastic meal, mango salsa and taboulli salad and a wrap with chocolate cookies for desert.I am getting better at canoeing...but still need to practice.
today we went for a drive to Lake Chicot state park. about an hour away north of us.
and went for a hike around the arburitum, 2 1/2 miles took about an hour. then we drove around the park...and headed home stopped by a race track evangeline downs casino and race track to watch a couple of races...it was fun. bet on a hourse who cam in third...rats..it was fun to see all of the horses... had a huge dinner buffet which was fair but they had really good gumbo!
and key lime pie.
came home and went for an in the dark walk around the neighbor hood.
watched 2 episodes of lost and took a shower to get the bug spray off.
meds should be kicking in any time now....

glad you had a good time canoeing bizi.

thank goodness the weekend is over? not really. i don't know what to do with myself any more. not during the week. not on a weekend.

i just had a really stupid fight with my mother over something stupid.

i have more i could gripe about but then i'd have to gripe about the fact of griping...

i just feel ugly and pouty and cranky. it doesn't help the hairdresser did a horrible job. she took about 3 inches off ... going on 6 in the places she 'layered' ... my hair looked better before!!! and i went ahead and forked out the dough because i hoped it would cheer me up a bit to have nice hair again - but also so i could be more presentable at interviews without having to resort to a bun. now, i'm lucky if my hair will stay in a bun and it looks horrible otherwise.

i'm going on strike with hairdressers again. waaah. (there, i did gripe a bit...)

I am sorry waves that she gave you a bad haircut.
ugh!
Stupid arguements usually happen when tired, or stressed, or when you just don't feel good.
I hope you feel better tomorrow.

yeah i'm so upset i just don't know what to do about my hair. try to fix it myself or go to someone else. before it was too long for me to do it myself. now, i could probably manage. i have cut it before and done a good job, but usually end up taking a lot of length off by the time i get things even. and even a good professional will need to take a fair bit of length off, just to fix it at this point.

but if i cut it any more, with good or bad results i won't be able to put it up at all. at best, it will mean i will be hot because it is hot and i like to take it up. but, if it comes out bad, i will be forced to look unpresentable on top of being hot! so then, i'll have to resort to hacking it all off... like into a bob cut! that looks good but i didn't want to cut it that short! it was almost to my waist!!!!

i wish i had never done this. i don't have the money for haircuts so it was a double whammy. it was a treat so i could look nice and maybe feel a little better.

i wish i had just told her to cut it even all around and not layer it. it was wavy even without being layered, and looked good. it looked better then, even though uneven, than now.

I am sorry about your hair.....
