Cold pin curl set

When you have hair as long as I do, about twenty four pins ain't enough.

So I got about halfway through my pin curls when I ran out of pins so I undid them all and decided to do bandana curls.

Can't find my bandanas either.

So I start to panic... and I find regular duckbills used to hold pins. About half of them, and then I realize I need about two per curl since I'll be sleeping with this set. Thankfully I have the other bobby pins I couldn't use and once I finished the whole damned thing.... I find the other bobby pins I knew I had.

DAMN IT

I should have done a practice run before tomorrow!

Its 11pm and the madness has begun

Sadly, I'm not talking about hair or beauty... although I should put on my mask as soon as I finish this.

See, we're having this night construction going on and I can hear it all the way over here. I'm like halfway down the property of my complex and all I can hear is the backing up of trucks, the honking of horns. It really makes me want to avoid the bedroom although I have a very comfortable, soothing, sexy Manthing to cuddle up to.

-sigh-

Lately I've started to spruce up a bit again. I've started to wear dresses that I've missed. Part of it is because, well, its easier to pull a dress over my head and let it fall than it is to pull up a pair of pants in my condition. Hopefully with therapy and rest my sprain (and ganglion cyst) will get better. Its almost crafting time for the Yuletide, damn it. I want my hands to work.  That, among other things.

So I did a very simple manicure today. Hurt like hell, but damn it, I'm tired of having dry, chapped hands with naked, brittle nails and as of late, superbly bloated and swollen as well.

I love the color, its by Finger Paints and a fantastic fuschia-purple. Its color is Pop Art Purple.

Maybe, if I could find my card reader, I'd be able to share.. as well as get some stuff out of the card on my camera as well.  I had a nice trip with my girls to the Pacific Science Center and I got some lovely shots of us being kids.

MY MUSE!! She has returned

For a little while at least.

I can't say that I've been doing much of *anything* at all.

Letsee..

It took us months to get settled into the new apartment.

Finally went on vacation after 3 years of nada. Let me just say that maybe I *don't* hate Disney as much as I thought I had. I suppose the trick is to keep me the FUCK away from Small World.

Hell, I even had a BLAST with my mom. I know. right? Shocker.

Then shit went downhill quickly.

I somehow injured my back during vacation. My balance off, I fell once, twice, THREE times on the same hand. I have a nice, gnarly sprain, an injured tendon (Thank the gods its only bruised, not torn) and a fanfuckingtastic Ganglion cyst on the underside of my wrist.

Work has been busy as hell too.

BUT I joined Dames for Dreams and my Muse has returned a little.

I cannot believe I'm doing a nude, artsy photoshoot with the possibility of the images being printed in publication. O.O;

I also cannot believe I'm writing again. That's super amazing.

WHEE.. I'm rambly again. I spent about three hours getting up the new blog up and going. Just as I thought I was about to get some friggin' sleep I realize there's this night construction going on and I get to hear everythign bright as daylight because .. I ain't asleep yet.

Great.

Imma go try and doze off some. I have only slept like, two hours in the last 72 hrs.
