Oh Hair Mon Fraire
I like to talk about hair, really I do. Mostly because our lives would really suck without it. Since I've relocated to a new town, the water is hard and my hair is suffering. The hard water makes it tangly, coarser, and is messing with the color. It makes it look brassy, and lightens it. Since I'm in rental heaven a water softener is not an option, so i'm on the prowl for a good product that I can apply to my hair post shower to detangle, and make it silky.
I use conditioner after I shampoo, so that is not the trouble, and since my hair is straight, I need something that does not weigh it down or make it look greasy. My stylist sold me Bain de Terre Recovery complex, anti frizz serum, and you put this on when your hair is dry and styled. She used it on me before I left, and I ended up not liking the way it felt. Sort of like barbie doll hair. So I didn't use the product, and will return it next time I go in because it cost almost 18 dollars for a 2 oz bottle.
Then I bought Biolage Daily Leave in Tonic, and while I'm sure this made my hair feel silkier, it did not much help with the combing out tangles. After much searching, I have found a really good deep conditioner by Aveda but would rather not use it on a daily basis, because of the cost.
So that leaves me at a dilemma. If only all of lifes issues were just about hair tangles, oh how we would be bored!!
I fuss with my hair because it's one of the only things about my features that I actually like. Sometimes I worry that God will take it away from me if I fuss over it too much or like it too much.

Mortal
Ok girls, whether or not you know it, I've been having a crisis about my age. I think this is what has driven me so hard to get a job in law enforcement, push past my physical limitations and attempt to succeed at this.
Now I've decided to do something else thats weird...
SHOCKER, I ordered an electric guitar today and I'm going to learn to play it. I have some free time waiting for this job to start, so I need something to do. I've always wanted to do this, and what better time than now, when I'm knocking at deaths door?
I'll keep you posted on how it goes. It will probably be like everything else I do, I'll fizzle out on it, either that or become the next Bonnie Raitt.
A friend and I were discussing tanning beds the other day, and really when it comes right down to it, you are rolling the dice and taking a chance with many things you chose to do for beauty reasons in your life.
The way I see it lately, I'm not in charge of my destiny so much, therefore I just do stuff, and as long as it's not too reckless I don't worry about it. There is safety in moderation, with all things. Of course if you are prone, or predisposed to certain conditions, it's better to be safe, but if not, why live your life scared all the time of various conditions and diseases?
I believe the day I die and the cause of my death is already decided by God and I can't change this. As a mother, I don't do things that are blatantly putting my life in danger, and I'm not looking for a debate, I'm just trying to explain my thinking about mortality.
Life is too short to fret about dying, just live, and if there is something you've been wanting to do, DO IT, don't wait. Don't let your life be consumed by busyness and mind numbing tasks. Leave a legacy for your kids, and not one of just a clean house and meals cooked to perfection. Leave them a spirit of adventure, and memories of all the crazy things you did.
