I'm sad to realize that I haven't answered the QotD or participated in one VoxHunt for ages. They just don't interest me anymore which is really the sad part. That used to be my favorite part! I find that I'm getting lazier and lazier with my blogging. I don't blog as much, they're boring and scatter-brained and I haven't even begun to post about Scotland. I find I go through these phases - I just hope I get out of this one quick.

The season finale of America's Next Top Model was good! I was so happy with it - the last few cycles I haven't been agreeing with the winner much so it was a nice change. I really like Anya (even though I liked Whitney more) and I wonder a bit if they chose Whitney because she was plus sized - just like I think they chose Jasline because she was Hispanic. Either way I'm happy :)

Next Wednesday I'm going to go get my hair done. I have no idea what I'm going to do and this morning I thought I had an idea, but then I asked around and now I'm not sure. I have healthy, fine, naturally blonde hair. I'm sick of it always being flat & limp as a noodle so I thought I'd do what I've never done before - get a perm. I wasn't thinking sausage curls or anything - more of a wave. One top of my flat hair though I'm also sick of the color - which I've mentioned in a previous post - so I'm thinking of dying it. I've heard that doing both is not a good idea though - and either way I'd have to wait at least two weeks after perming it before dyeing it. So do I perm it or dye it? If I dye it I don't want to go to a salon because I've had great results with having Jane do it in the past and that would ensure consistency when I want to touch-up the color. If I perm it then I don't get the discount that's offered by the salon I'm going to which is free cut with color. In essence: I have no idea what I'm doing but I have to decide by Tuesday.

As I posted, this weekend Paul finally bought his Wii. He's been having fun playing Super Smash Bros Brawl and I've been playing a bit of Super Mario Paper. However, this weekend was busy because of Mother's Day (we saw his parents on Saturday & mine on Sunday) and so we didn't get to play or relax that much.

However! I made it a point to make it to that produce store again so I've got some good veggies & fruits to snack on again today :) I just wish that all my hard work to make good food decisions would begin to pay off - but that's likely not to happen unless I pair it with some much needed exercise :(

Tonight Paul & I are going to go shopping for a mattress, and then Tuesday (hopefully) I'm going to get my hair cut. I'm tempted to color it as well, but I'm very undecided. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I've colored it pretty successfully in the past, but correcting the color once I wanted to become blonde again was not an easy or pretty task.

Over the weekend I got the last of my orders for Linnet and I tried out her new curly white wig with her new pale lavender eyes. I was shocked to see that yet again, the eyes (14mm blue ones seen here) were melted by the eye putty that I was using. When this happened the last time I thought it was just the eyes I'd chosen, so I bought new ones - but I was wrong. I jumped onto the DoA* boards and find that this is pretty common (which made me feel better) and the reason was because the putty had a plasticizer in it in order to keep it soft and so it begins to soften the acrylic. It was suggested that I try pillow-soft ear plugs, and so we went out late last night to find them. They worked differently - but worked just as well so I hope that I've found a good alternative. What was frustrating though was the fact that this putty was given to me by the doll manufacturer - so I would assume it would be safe. The eyes that Souldoll gave me appear to be acrylic as well - but they aren't being effected by the putty they gave me so I guess that's the difference.

I read a bit of The Host over the weekend, but not nearly enough :( My sister is already done! If only I could find enough free time... Oh well - I have until the 23rd to finish it so that none of it is ruined by the book signing (not really worried about the author - more about the crowd).

YAY! Today is Friday! I’m so happy!

This weekend I’m getting my hair cut (it’s been almost six months) and I’m going to be working on putting together my cloak (I’ve had the fabric for this for about three years now – Dawn & Jane, you bought it with me) and I’m also going to be testing out this “Custom Fit” corset pattern I got off the net – apparently they don’t make bodice patterns to fit my endowments. So lots on the schedule including taking some measurements of my room because I’m planning on buying a new bed (a full instead of a twin – I’m an adult now and my cats are fat) so I need to figure out how to fit more stuff into my already crowded room.

Monday I’m going to be posting a new short scene I wrote about hot pants! So look for it!
