Sadly my beloved Colorado Rockies did not win the World Series, or even a game in the World Series. It was a miserable few days that reminded me of 1991 and 1992 when I used to follow the Braves (before the Rockies existed) and I almost pulled my hair out watching my team lose in the World Series in back to back years. This time around every pitch was intense and I think I was gritting my teeth for about 17 hours in the past week. I’m glad it is over, and I am so excited for next season!
My only wish is that everyone else forgets about the Rockies. The amount of bandwagon jumpers has disgusted me. I had so much fun at the beginning of last season when they were just mine.
So my hurt boob (“righty”) is still sort of hurt. I’ve seen some doctors and I have to go back tomorrow. I’m sick of the bandages and I can’t wait to be back to normal. It is getting better each day, and yesterday I was able to move boxes and clean the apartment.
In other news, I recently made a very fantastic purchase. Sometimes I’m a sucker for infomercials. I hate watching them, but when I do catch them I tend to believe that the product they are peddling does everything they say it does. So when I kept seeing the Maxglide hair straightener on TV, I was intrigued.
A promise of hair straightening fast and effectively, with the added benefit of not having to blow dry my hair straight in the first place, made me incredibly curious.
So I posted a question on Yahoo Answers to see if real people thought it worked. I got so many responses back about how awesome it is, that I was set on getting one. This is a pricey piece of hair equipment, running at $80 or so. I waited a couple of months, acquired a Bed Bath & Beyond coupon for 20% off, and finally made the big purchase.
The results are truly amazing. I’ve used it twice now and my hair looks awesome. Instead of taking an hour to straighten my hair, using this tool only takes me about 20 minutes. The best part is that it works on my already wavy hair. I could not be happier. I will try to take some before and after pictures some time this week to demonstrate the coolness.
Tonight is my first class for Intarsia Knitting. When knitting intarsia, blocks of color are worked with separate balls of yarn to produce only one layer to whatever it is you’re making. In the class we’re going to make a hat with five different colors of yarn. We even had homework to do to get ready.
I’ll post more about the progress of my hat in this very blog when it starts to come along.
