- I spent over two hours writing a "25 things" post...but not as a note on Facebook. Not on my blog, either (duh...have you seen one 'round these parts? :) No, I gave in to the meme on Sepia Mutiny, because I thought it would be more fun, useful and interesting to catalog a list of "facts, habits, goals" over there. I've been pondering various "things" for weeks now, discarding most as I devise 25. I keep coming back to our name, which is what we get asked about the most. Predictably, several of the "25" are about our name OR the names we almost chose.
- My new Hot Tools professional 2" barrel curling iron is no joke. While I have to leave my regular Revlon "multi-heat setting" p.o.s. on for a good 15 minutes before using it, to make sure it's extra hot, the hottest setting on the 2" almost singed my hair. I am in awe. My hair is coarse. Nothing breaks or affects it. In Soviet Russia, hair breaks you! No, seriously, I break elastic bands and barettes all the time. Once, on a dare, in the 8th grade, we yanked a long piece of it, threaded a needle and stitched something. Granted, that was "virgin" hair. I wasn't allowed to blow-dry or use anything heated; I also wasn't allowed to use any product. Since I wasn't going to run around with coconut or jasmine oil on my head, this meant my hair looked like STRAW. It isn't just coarse, it's extra dry and thick. That's why it requires dangerous amounts of heat. Finally, I have a curling iron which is dangerous! My hair looks GREAT (except for the one section which got a wee bit singed, but we shall never speak of this again. Deal? Deal.)
- Note to self: tweeting about craving something highly random, like Ritz Crackers is suspect enough. Following up with ANOTHER tweet about an upset stomach is just pure stupidity, especially after mocking everyone for going THERE with the pregnancy suggestions. Yeah. I totally asked for it.
