Pooless Wonder

I have been trying to go without shampoo for around 10 days now.  I think I actually caved twice during that time and used shampoo.  My biggest issue is itchy scalp.  I have had an itchy scalp for as long as I can remember (42 years maybe).  Steve thinks I should go to a dermatologist but I will probably not get around to that unless I happen to be walking past an office of one while I am out and about one day.  So instead I go to my own doctor, the internet. 

The pooless recipe is baking soda.  And the anti-itchy scalp remedy is also baking soda.  For pooless you use it mixed with a lot of water, but for anti-itch you use it like a past.  So I tried that this morning.  I have gone several hours without itching, which is pretty good I think.  But now that I started thinking about my scalp I feel the urge to scratch.  So the next remedy is yogurt on my head for 30 minutes.  My problem is not knowing where to sit while I wait those 30 minutes with yogurt on my head.  Do I sit on the floor of the shower?  And what should I do while I wait?  Maybe I could paint my nails or something like that.

I don't know if I can make it to completely pooless status, but I am trying.  I like the fact that I will be saving money and it sounds cool to be helping the environment.  An added benefit is that it keeps my shower a bit cleaner too.  Oh, it just occurred to me what I can do while I am waiting the 30 minutes.  I can clean the shower with my head.

Hot town!

Of course you have heard me complain about the heat lately. This will be a regular thing for the next couple of months. I looked on CNN weather page to see just how hot it was and it said at midnight that it was "99 and dreary". So true. We are thankful for electricity and air conditioners. When I do aerobics I turn the a/c on and it makes it bearable. You would think that the fat would just melt off. The problem is that ice cream is so cold and refreshing. Then there are mango shakes. yum.

Redeemed

Psalm 49:7-8 “No man can by any means redeem his brother.  Or give to God a ransom for him.  For the redemption of his soul is costly.” It is an amazing thing when someone comes to faith in God.  Last night I got to witness my brother in-law give his life to Jesus.  His life was redeemed.  The ransom for his soul was paid by Jesus long ago, but yesterday he was set free. My brother in-law was in darkness.  He knows his life was full of darkness and demonic presence.  He has been hearing about Jesus for years and knew that if he ever decided to become a follower that he would do it completely, not half heartedly.  He finally saw that he needed Jesus.  So yesterday he prayed a beautiful prayer acknowledging his need to get rid of the darkness in his life and knowing he can’t do it on his own.  Jesus filled his life.  My brother in-law said he felt something leave.  It was the darkness.  Jesus has filled his life...

The Party

Last night I went to Allison's (sis in-law) batchlorette party. It was at a mexican restaurant/bar. It was a very crowded place so we weren't able to get a big table all together. Allison and her girl friends were at one table and the old folks (me and others) were at our own table (feeling awkward). Allison showed up at the place drunk already, from a bit too many drinks in the limo. I thought it would be embarrassing to be around your mother in-law to-be and your grandmother in-law to-be, but she didn't seem too worried about it. Allison wasn't a bad drunk really. She was a little loud, but not obnoxious. I felt old. I had a new dress on, but I ended up looking like an old lady instead of a young thing. I had some nice shoes on too. But my purse, which looked fine at home, turned into an old lady purse. It was also cold out, so I had a shawl. I'm glad I had it but it just added to the old lady look. I don't drink for two reasons. First, I am che...
