Random Ish

I have watched more movies on Netflix than I can count this week, some decent, some, not so great.

I got an iPad for Christmas and I absolutely love it.

My manicures have not been lasting. Ugh.

Going back to work is going to be a struggle.

I wonder how many new people will be at the WW meeting I attend on Wednesday.

I need a new camera.

Mission Impossible was great!!

I am sick, and that sucks.

I am going to make me a bling case for my iPad!!!

I want to cut my hair short and get a relaxer!! But I don't know if I will actually do it. I told myself after I lose 50 pounds.

Happy New Year!!!

Huh

So, my meeting was today, and I gained .6 pounds. I'm kind of down about it. I can think of numerous things that I can and will do better this coming week. I am going to be realistic and understand that Christmas is going to be tough. I will not give up though.

A list improvements to make this:
1 - Exercise at least 3 times before the next meeting.
2 - Track as soon as or before I eat.
3 - Eat at least one fruit or vegetable with each meal.

I can think of many different things to add to this list, but I want to succeed, so I'm going to leave it with the three goals above!!

WTH

I hadn't painted my nails in a few days, so, last night I had to put a stop to the madness. I looked through my stash, an settled on a pretty glitter green.







 












Only to get to work and see this.

Ugh














How in the heck did that happen?

The Roller Set

I'm getting better with the roller set, and plan to keep it in rotation.  I don't think I'll do it every week, but it will definitely be regular!!  Thanks to shamiamglam.com for the inspiration.  I'm in the market for a new camera, so excuse my iPhone photos.

I tried sleeping in the rollers the first time I did a roller set, no bueno.  The second time, I rolled, sat under the dryer, and then wrapped, but some reason, the middle was really frizzy.  So, this time, I rolled, sat under the dryer, and pin curled, much better, and I slept great!!  I think I'm going to continue to pin curl until I wash again!!

Christmas Nails

I went to Sally last night to pick up a few hair supplies, mainly rollers, but polish junkie in me couldn't leave without picking up at least one bottle.














I didn't have any glitter polish in my stash, so, that's what I went for. I think I'm going to wear this polish until Christmas. Especially since I don't really see myself wearing it much after.

It's the same color as my Christmas tree!

Random Edition

  •  I'm mad that I just now tried a roller set on my natural hair, after being natural for going on 7 years...
  • I am almost done with my Christmas shopping, and may not wrap another gift...
  • I am looking forward to a break from it all - volleyball, WORK, CASA, tutoring, my nieces basketball games, etc...
  • I have been so busy, I haven't been keeping polish on my nails...
  • I refuse to wear my nails with chipped paint...
  • Weight Watchers works...monitoring what I'm eating really sheds light on why I continually gain weight...
  • Thinking about giving the CG method (to shampoo, no cones, etc) another try...
  • I have known too many people that are dieing lately, it's sad, a wake-up call, and depressing...
  • Sooo many young people are getting killed in my city...
  • The young lady that I tutor thinks school is for having fun and socializing with friends...her words, not mine...
  • Why is it so hard to find a vegetable side dish for Christmas???  I would appreciate any ideas!

SAMCRO

A couple of months ago, someone posted something on Facebook about So.ns of Anarchy, a show that comes on FX.  They said that if you like The Wi.re, you would also like Sons of Anarchy.  I didn't believe the person, because to me, there is no show like The Wi.re.  Well, I was bored one weekend, Netflix had the first two seasons available to stream, so I decided to give it a chance.  Now, I am hooked.  Is it The Wi.re, no, but it is a good show.  Drama, love, suspense, and most of all, it's not reality.  Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against reality TV, I just feel like TV is saturated with it right now.  Because of that, it's hard to find true fictional shows that are entertaining.  Season Four just wrapped up, and I am definitely left wanting more.  Because I watched the first two seasons on Netflix, I am spoiled.  So, I'm thinking next season, I'm not going to watch any of the shows until the season is over.  I'll DVR all of them, and then watch them marathon style!!
