Skyepuppy - I am not ignoring the tag. I just have to sit down and write it out! That will appear soon, I promise.
In the meantime, I watched American Idol last night and have to tell you that I cried over the girl who auditioned 2 days after her dad died in a car accident. I can't remember how to spell her name, and I don't want to butcher it too badly, so I won't even try it. Anyway, that took incredible courage to stay and sing - and to sing the song she chose. I liked everything about her. I thought she had more than a good (and interesting) voice. She had a lot of personality. I hope she does well. (And it was nice to see Simon's softer side.)
I also watched the Biggest Loser. Or I tried. Between interruptions for Super Tuesday and interruptions for weather, it was tough to actually stay with the show. But anyway, I had a "fat day" yesterday, so I was hoping the show would both motivate me to get back on the elliptical and make me feel that it might not be quite as bad as it felt in that moment. Apparently it worked. I was eating a turkey sandwich by the end of it. (Not sure that is quite the way that should work.)
Braving the rain and the potential bad attitude, I also went to Wal-Mart to purchase a new curling iron. I'm in the middle of an "I hate my hair" phase, and I can't decide if I need to just tough it out until it grows a little bit longer or if I should just start over with something shorter. I thought (rather than killing almost a year's worth of work with one chop of the scissors) I would try a new curling iron to see if that helps. Apparently some irons require a certain amount of skill. Apparently I do not possess said skill. My trial run last night left me looking a bit like a frizzy eight year old. Fortunately it went better by this morning. Still not sure how I feel about the project as a whole.

I can identify with your curling iron challenges, though probably the other way. My hair-dresser usually fixes my hair with a straightener after she cuts it so it looks fabulous. Of course, the next morning I can't make it come even close. Just looser-than-normal curls that won't behave. Most of the time I don't even bother to try (see my cruise pictures, which show my not-trying hair).
I'm rooting for you to get your curling iron to mind its master!
Thanks for the comment. I was wondering if anyone besides Keetha and Jaena still read.
As far as curling irons go, my current curling iron has many settings, but regardless of what setting I would put it on (usually 6 out of 30) it would still act like it was on the hottest setting. I found this out when I curled my bangs one morning and part of them disintegrated into the sink. They have now completely grown back, though a little frizzy, and up until about a week ago I would turn off my curling iron a few minutes before I would use it so it would cool down. Then about a week ago it started working normal again. Yes, I could go to Wal-Mart and replace it, but I think I will take a tempramental curling iron over a trip to Wal-Mart.
I cried when that girl sang for her father who died. It was so sad. :( I hope she does well.
That girl was awsome, I cried too. I also like the biker nurse with the raspy, Janis Joplin voice. I hope they both do well.
It must be something in the air, or lack of moisture, I'm ready to chop my wig as well. I'm holding out until spring and putting it in a pony tail.
Skyepuppy - We need to have personal stylists, huh? Then we can have time to read while someone else messes with our hair! :) I'm going to have someone with a hair degree show me how to use the one function of the iron because CLEARLY I am not smart enough on my own!
Deb - Hi!! It's good to hear from you - and I remember that burned hair story from your blog. I felt horrible for you! I have to admit that after you reminded me of it here, I turned down the heat setting.
Sarah - I can't wait to see what Hollywood week brings - looks like they've made some interesting changes!
Janice - We can make it! We will not get mad and get impulsive haircuts......maybe??? Today (day number two with the iron) I looked like Nellie Oleson from Little House. Come to think of it, my attitude sort of matched hers too...
This will be the first season that I've seen the Hollywood stuff! I am excited!
