My hair has exploded from the humidity

Oh Tina  . . . . . you have no IDEA !!!!  That's the way my hair looks on a GOOD day - so you can guess what it looks like now with all the rain and humidity we're getting.  It always cracks me up  . . . . . when I was a teenager my dad used to say "What did you do??  Comb your hair with a hand grenade???  whenever I was having a really bad hair day.  That describes my hair perfectly these days !!!

Hot and humid here too.....my hair doesn't seem to stay dry for more than a few minutes, and I've basically given up drying it during the day.  But, we did get like a 3 minute shower yesterday afternoon....no where near enough run, but it did cool things off a bit.  I'll take that.  Sat on the porch last night and did NOT sweat up a storm, which was a nice change.

Yeah, those carpenter ants are mean and they do mega damage.  The exterminator told us to use instant grits to kill the fire ants, so maybe that would work for yours?  You just sprinkle some around the mound, they eat them and when the grits expand internally, the little jerks explode basically.

Think I'll go to the station and lay the bathroom vinyl today.  Such fun!

Glenda I have the same problem.  It's hot and humid here too (last night I checked and our temp was hotter and heat index the same as my friend down in central Florida).  I either sweat and my hair is damp, or I take a cold shower and it never dries.

What makes it worse is I have a staph infection on my head.  Ew.  Seeing the Dr. at 2:10 today for my antibiotics.  I hate taking cephlex but whatever, better that than going septic!

And even worse, this weekend we are going to Wisconsin to visit DH's grandma who was moved into a nursing home, so I'll have to be uber careful not to touch her or anything.

What's really weird is that for years my hair was poker-straight.  About 3 or 4 years ago, I noticed it started to have a little wave to it.  I haven't had a perm in maybe 15 years, and even then I think I only did them once every 2 years.  I never permed my hair until I was 18.  Now when it is humid - FOOF! 

I can relate with bad hair!  I think our water softener is working too well?  I don't know, but since moving, my hair has been kind of frizzy, which is never was before, first time ever!  I know some people use mousse, but I don't know anything about it, or what kinds are good, any suggestions?

After work today I am going to this HUGE cleaning products sale at a convention centre, so I'm excited!  I love my new house.  But I want to plant more flowers out front, but I dont know anythign about gardening, so I don't know what flowes are fool proof (me being the fool :P)

Ya'll crack me up!  Texans live with humidity on a daily basis.  We know how to deal with our hair in a humid climate.  Now give us a few days of low humidity, & nobody has a clue what to do with their hair!

Anyone care to take a dobe off my hands for a few hours?  He's in full blown psycho mode this morning.  He has sat at the front door, looking out the window, & barked for close to ten minutes before he realized that I had walked out of the room.  Then, he had to locate me as quickly as possible.  He found me, in the bathroom, alone, with the door closed.  I'm never in the bathroom alone, & he let himself in to make sure that I hadn't escaped.  I went to start a load of laundry, & he swiped a pair of my shorts, & took off in full blown zoomie mode around the living room.  Then, he grabbed a pillow off the couch, took it to his bed, laid down & started sucking on it.  I took it away from him, & now, as I walk back through, he is laying on my coffee table.  I may strangle him before the day is through....

Ain't it the truth!  

I have a clogged oil gland near my lower eyelid.  It's red, swollen all the way to my upper cheekbone and hurts too.  It doesn't look too attractive either, kind of like one half of me went on a bender.  Warm compresses three or four times a day according to my eye doc.  He did just have to add the little nugget that it could get bad and spread over my face and cause what sounded like cellulite. WTH!  I told him I had that already but thankfully not on my frigging face!!!  He said it's not the same thing, worse.  Sheesh.  I was supposed to get my checkup tomorrow with the laser eye doc but cancelled because this is too painful to have him messing with my eye. The other eye doc said if it's not better in a week  he might have to lance it!!  **going off to apply warm compress**

But will it help my face not look like Deb's butt?????????? 

 Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one with bad hair right now.  I gave up on straitening it this week.  It only stays straight for an hour or so then it starts to wave, and heaven forbid I walk past a body of water without jumping in....I have had a bathing suit of some sort on for the past 8 days straight.(4 different ones, but still)

Its nice and cool in my house this morning.  The temps dropped quite a bit last night I guess.  But I can see steam rising off the grass outside, so I'm thinking its back up.
