Good morning ladies!

I woke up and looked in the mirror and went "ack"! My hair looks so dark now with my pasty white face with no makeup on it! I'll get used to it I guess-it was just a shock this morning lol. I dyed it the darkest color it's ever been. I've always been blond until I let it go natural back in January and wasn't happy with my natural color. Too many different shades, not to mention a few gray stragglers. So I went with a "medium brown" and just LOVE it---it has reddish highlights. I'm happy with it, but adjusting.

Ok enough about my hair lol.

I really need to get a workout in today! I haven't worked out since Sunday! I am really feeling it. My back feels really tight in the morning (not to mention my pants lol) and I think I'm going to try to do a short bosu workout BEFORE I go into my office.

What's everyone else up to today?
Jill

PS-Robin I hope you feel better now about v-ball!
 
Morning BB's,

This week started out slow, but I just realized that it was Thursday today. So I guess the week went faster than I thought. :7 Today will be PS Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and a 30 min. Run. I did Imax 2 last night, that interval 9 is a killer.x( But I'm glad I did the work out. Not that I was thinking about putting it off!!! :+

Jill, It took me a while to get used to my hair when I first started with a different color. Mine was a little redder than it currently is. Love the picture of Mace, makes me want one, but of course not prepared for the proper care and feeding as of this point. :D

Have a great day!

Jill - can't wait to see your hair! What brand did you use that gave you body? Mine is stick straight and coloring it with OTC brands doesn't seem to help that.

Who is coming on Monday and what time can you get there? I could get there between 5:30-6 at the earliest.

I am hoping to get by without Nyquil tonight so I can workout tomorrow. Friday is floor decision day! Can't wait to have that final decision over with!!!!!
 
Marie, I can be there at 6:00. Need some time to make sure the girls have their homework done.

Laurie
 
Okay I look bug-eyed kind of and I don't know why. But you can kind of tell it's a bit reddish. I do like it! It looks much better when I have makeup on---I feel like Morticia without makeup lol.

Marie-I used Loreal Preference. My hair was/is flat against my head in it's growing-out stage and this gave me at least a little "poofiness"

Good morning,

Today is a rest day for me. Full day of work, then I have to go to my algebra class to turn in an assignment, then we're hitting the road for Indiana for the weekend. It will be a late night!

Jill, the picture of Mace is so cute, and your hair color is great! I know what you mean about going dark... a few years ago I dyed my hair the color that yours is now after always being dark blonde, and it was weird to adjust to! It's a good color for you, very flattering.

I'm jealous of all the fun you all will have at the get-together on Monday :) I hope you have a great time!

Take care,

Ellen
 
Hi, ladies! I'm definitely going to ask you guys about haircolor advice when I decide to give in. Believe it or not, I'm 41 and have never colored, highlighted, steaked, etc. my hair. I told a young girl at work here that recently and she freaked out. She's only 23 and she's been highlighting her hair since she was 15 so she thinks I'm weird. I DO have gray hairs but I just pluck them for now. I think it's because some of my sisters had some bad haircoloring experiences in the 70s (remember frosting your hair?) and I told myself I didn't want to look like them! LOL Luckily, the technology is better now.

I can be there on Monday by 6 - give or take depending on traffic on the freeway.

Did Lowmax on an 8" step this morning. I normally use a 6" step so I always feel like I'm tripping over my feet at first but by the end of the workout the 8" seems normal. This is a killer workout! }(

Have a great day!

Forgot to mention that I've been in contact with Meecher (Michelle)a few times since we're still trying to get together to exchange photos since the Road Trip. Told her about our get-together Monday night and it looks like she may be able to make it. She has 2 small kids so her life has been too hectic to post but she'd love to meet y'all. Hope this is okay with everyone.

Sue
 
Fine with me Sue-the more the merrier!! Especially another Cathe fan. :) OMG I remember frosting! Too funny. Don't worry---OTC products work a lot better now. I have only used OTC a few times as my sister does hair. But since I live about 45 minutes away from her shop I didn't want to spend an extra $20 on my hair (gas)! And oh yeah, LM fries those legs. Didja feel the fire in the thighs? LOL

Ellen, sounds like you can relate. I was blond my whole life. Last year about this time I had my sister dye it dark like this. Everyone freaked out and not ONE person said they liked it. So I had her dye it back to blond. It wasn't bleached blond---just a darker blond with lighter highlights. I was sick of driving there for it and it was drying my hair out and I couldn't grow the hair cuz it was getting too dry. So I let it go natural. And the funny thing is, the dark color I had it dyed to earlier WAS my natural color. Nobody noticed as it grew out I guess, but the stark change was too much. This isn't that much darker than it was, but noticeably red highlights that I'm really liking.

Wow, my hair has become quite the topic today. Sorry!
 
Looking forward to meeting Meecher! It looks like 6 is a good time. Will the first one there get a table or what? If yes - for how many?


Sue - Ask away regarding coloring. I am very experienced and even hair stylists have commented on what a good job I have done and stopped trying to convince me they could do better unless I want to get into highlights. I just want it to look like my natural color when I was much younger. I use L'oreal Excellence now but used Preference before. I think the same color names in Clairol seem to be darker. If you want professional advice without the regular expense you can check out Color to Go. It is professional color that is sent to you regularly after the first time. They work with you to find a color that works for you. I used it but then went back to OTC. Last time I stopped in for hair products, he commented at how good the color worked for me. I didn't burst his bubble.

THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT MANICURES! I DO AS GOOD A JOB AS THEY DO PUTTING THE POLISH ON. OF COURSE IT'S HARD TO GIVE YOURSELF A NICE HAND/WRIST MASSAGE LOL.
 
I just have to say, that's so funny that you said not one person liked your darker hair. I think I was the only one who liked mine when I darkened it. My mom was traumatized the first time she saw it dark. She said, "My beautiful blonde baby!" :)
 
Hi, all -
Responding a little late to yesterday's questions:

- I moved to NY after visiting with a friend. It was just such a vibrant, cool, amazing place and the folks I knew at the time all encouraged me to move, so I did (half of them have now left!)
After almost nine years, however, I do have moments where think about moving back. We'll see where that goes.

- I've not been back home since early 2001. May be back early next summer for a brief visit, however. I'll let you all know if I'm coming in anytime.


Pedmom, love the puppy!! He's so cute!!
 
NY25 - are you in NYC?

Jill - The hand massage is the best part of a manicure. I never have time for that anymore though. Sigh!
 
Hello BB
Today I did MM. My biceps and triceps are fried but I love that feeling. I also have a Spinning class tonight at 5pm....I love that class too, I have met some really nice supportive people in that class. Do any of you belong to a gym beside working out to our queen Cathe. I do Spinning twice a week and I am looking into getting a personal trainer. I hope you all have a great day!:)
 
Hi ladies! Sorry I've been a lazy poster here! Can someone give me the details about Monday?? What was the final decision on the location? How do you get there coming from the Madison direction??? Thanks!!!
