Happy Times

Happy Times at the Lowe House tonight! We had a little fun with orange goggles and sunglasses...and not to mention Silky the Cape and other random toys that doubled as hats! Enjoy the smiles - oh how blessed i am to have those beautiful smiles each day in our home. We are so richly blessed.

Super Girl! Flying with her 'Cape' (hey Lemons Gap Crew...notice the 'cape' - it sure is a special part of this Super Girl's life!)

Newsflash!

okay, for all of you who have the same HAIR dilemma that i do...nasty flat hair on Second Day Hair (see previous post...). Thanks go out to my precious dear friend Jennifer....she told me that our hairdresser has the solution to the problem!

Nicole (our hairdresser) said that most hair products are 'water activated'...meaning that they work - or reactivate - when they get wet. SO...say you put hair gel on your hair after you wash it....it's still on your hair the next morning. All you have to do is lightly spray the crown (the top) part of your hair, and then reblowdry. Here's the key though - when you re-dry it, you brush it in the opposite direction that it lays (if you brush your hair down while drying, you make it even flatter b/c of the natural oil in your hair...So you dry it from the underside to create the First Day Body you had the day before!). Waaa-la! First day hair again!

On a different note, Meredith is sitting her with me, and she would like to write her name on the computer.....here she goes!: meredith lowe Good job Meredith!!! She is now requesting to write my name. Nothing like a learning opportunity on the computer! Here she goes!....

well, i will close, Mere is telling me stories about cherry trees and george washington!

Hair....

First of all...I absolutely love the days when i have just washed my hair. Usually this occurs every other day. So say, Sunday, I wash my hair....and it looks great! Lots of body, no kinks or odd twists, everything in the right spot......good stuff. And it never fails...folks make comments....'oh your hair looks good today' or 'I love that haircut on you.' Things like that....and I think, yeah! The problem occcurs on Monday..........I call it...Second Day Hair. It's that day when you don't need to wash again (too much shampoo dries out your hair!)....but it's just not quite right. No matter how i poof and tease...spray or hair wax, it just won't do what it should!! I can straight iron, re-tease the top, even get the blow drier out and 'fluff'....nope. Still looks funky. Oh it drives me nuts. And I'll admit, I'm a wild woman at night. (no, not like that).......I toss and turn and mess the everlovin' fire outta my hair. I remember my Nana's hair....she had 'beauty shop' hair. She'd go to bed at night with beautiful hair, and it looked the exact same the next day. Amazing. How'd she do that?! Not me. It looks like rats have taken up residence in my hair overnight. Seriously.

Second Day Hair stinks. So....just know that if you see me, and you think, 'what went wrong with her hair today?!'...now you know . It's my Second Day Hair. I think I should invent hair products that are specifically for Second Day Hair. I think i'll call them Repoofers. Or Day2Fix. Maybe this one - 2DayHair - or Poof Fixer........or............Funky Fixer! Yeah, Funky Fixer.

Super Tuesday!!

Well, all I can say is praise the Lord for Tamiflu and Z-packs. It's been a rough week! I have NEVER had the flu in my whole life! Then, to have the flu and a nasty sinus infection all at the same time..........well let's just say I'm glad to be better!

Of course, it didn't help that me, John, Meredith and Cameron all had the flu also.....all at the same time! We were like an MASH unit....dosing out Tylenol all over the place, snuggled in our respective blankets on couches, recliners, kleenex boxes close at hand.......it was nuts! All is better now...YEAH!

As for me, today is a good day - it's SUPER TUESDAY! Yes, I am a political junkie...and even though my guy, Mike Huckabee, isn't gonna wrap up the nomination today on the Republican ticket, there is something cool about the election process. All over our nation (well, at least in 24 states) folks are casting their ballot for their 'guy' (or gal for you Hillary fans. Is anyone I know a Hillary fan?!).....WHat a cool country we live in that we have the freedom to vote. And I think by the end of the day today, we will be looking at John McCain as the next Republican nominee (joined possibly by Mike Huckabee as his VP running mate)........but those Democrats......I have a feeling it's gonna get interesting for those guys - poor Hillary, she's losing ground to Obama...it's so close in the national polls that it's considered a dead heat! What once looked like a slam-dunk for her is now ominous........especially with most of the Kennedy family stepping up their support of Obama......

okay.....I'm sure none of you give a rip about my political opinions....but hey, there you go...that's the beauty of blogging! So when you turn on the news tonight and Tim Russert and Chris Matthews are breaking it all down....just know that I'm happy as a clam watching all of it!

So..........Who are you excited about? Which one of these guys is your "Agent of Change?" - I'd love to know your views...that's the beauty of this country - we have the freedom to CHOOSE! Let me hear from ya!
