My hair is orange.
Oh man did I mess up! I started turning gray about 10 years ago but about 2 years ago when I started a new medication it really started turning gray. I have pretty much been coloring it since then. I've always done it myself and haven't had any problems....until now. I decided to highlight it yesterday instead of color it. It's summer and the kids and I have been going to the pool a lot so I thought I would just do that instead.
It looked great! I was so glad it turned out since I don't normally highlight it. Well we went to the pool yesterday afternoon and when I got home it was ORANGE! AUGH!!!!!! I look like a dork now. Tomorrow we are going to a new church and we are having a party in the afternoon for the kids. They didn't get to say good-bye to the their friends from school so I told them we would have a "going back to school party" for them. I have no clue what to do with it now. Oh well, I guess it's almost fall so I'll blend right in. Mike said to add that he's wondering if I'm going to break out in a chorus of Time after Time. hehehe. I guess I'm doing a Cyndi Lauper impression right now.
We had a pretty cool thing happen to us yesterday. With all the moving we have put a bunch of stuff on our credit card. We always pay it off each month but this month it got up to $1800. We had the money in the bank but had to use it because Mike hasn't work hardly at all in June and July because of the move. Well, we had enough to pay $1100 of it. We really wanted to pay it off and thought we might be able to scrape up enough to pay it off next week online before it was due but we weren't sure. Well it was mildly stressing us out. We hate carrying balances and have never carried a balance that we didn't transfer to a 0% card. I hated to transfer just $700.
Would you believe that we got an $800 check in the mail yesterday!!!! God is so good! We just couldn't believe it. Apparently when we bought the house we paid the insurance twice and didn't know it! We were so excited! Now if he would just send me a Snickers bar in the mail I will be set! hehehe (Can you tell the no sugar isn't going very well. :-)
I don't know what to eat. It's been 12 days and it's not getting easier. If anything it's getting harder. I don't know if I will be able to make until October 30! I got the You, On A Diet book by Dr. Oz and am going to see if he has any good suggestions. I'm about to go crazy trying to figure it out. I might try the cookies below that a reader sent. They sound good and I love oatmeal.
Another good deal is that I've been going to Lowe's almost everyday on the way to and from swim lessons. They mark down their mulch and compost to .50 and $1 a bag if they are broken open. I've been collecting a bunch for when I start gardening this fall. They also have had plants that are on the way to being dead marked down. I've gotten over $300 worth of plants for about $20!! I am so excited! A couple did die but I only lost $1.50 so it's not a big deal. I got some plants that I've always wanted like hydrangeas and crape myrtles! Yeah!! I can't wait to start gardening in a few weeks. It's in the 100's right now so there's no way I can do it now but I'm getting my garden gloves ready! hehehe
Well, that's all for now. I better run. Have a good rest of the weekend! Tawra

I have been reading The South Beach Diet book. It is a diet that was developed by a cardiologist strictly for helping his patients with their blood pressure and blood sugar issues. His patients happened to lose a good bit of weight in the process, so that led to using his diet as a "diet". Dr. Agaston explains everything about how sugar and the "bad" carbs work against your blood chemistry, etc... and he does a great job in showing you how to eat properly. I would definitely suggest this book to you since you are not supposed to have sugar. He has sections with recipes and pretty much outlines exactly what you should and should not eat. The book really changed the way I looked at food and meal planning for myself and my family. Good luck!
Sorry your hair is orange. I had the green skunk experience a few years ago.
You are lucky that Lowes marks down the open mulch, I have yet to find that type of bargin.
But today I found the best bargin ever. My family had just gone to Sanible Island for the weekend. Sanible and Captiva are known for their great sea shells, so of course I came home with 3 or 4 bags full. I have collected shells for years and put them in glass or plastic jars. I went to Target to pick up some house hold things, but when I pulled into the parking space, there was a shopping cart with a VERY LARGE glass jar with lid. I looked like it had held maybe pickles or something like that. It wasn't new, it still had crud in it, but Iscooped it up, brought it home, cleaned it real good and now it has 1 bag of shells in it. The funny thing, when I went into the store to see how much they had the jars for, they had none even close in size and the ones they had were about $8 or more. So I am as happy as can be, but I still need about 3 more jars. ;)
