| I resisted! |

I can't resist a sale, but today I did. I was passing by one of my favourite optical stores. If my eye sight wasn't so damned bad, I'd probably have a *lot* more pairs of glasses (mmm...accessorizing!). Glasses are like jeans. If you find a pair that makes you look hot, get them. So the store was having a sale on their Chanel sunglasses; they were 50% off!!!!! FIFTY!!!!! I tried on this really nice pair, and I was tempted...sooooo tempted. But I had the guy put them away, and said I'd think about them. I figured if I see them again and they're still on sale, they're meant to be mine. But in the 3 hours since I've left them, I've talked myself out of buying them -- EVER. So that is $270 saved. *sigh* but they sure were nice. Instead, I picked up some fake Chanel studs at my hair salon of all places. They're the Chanel logo in all encrusted in "diamonds." BWAHAHAHA I'd seen them on other people (always cashiers for some reason) and really liked them. One day I'll have some real Chanel, but not today. Or any time soon. I also got my hair cut today. I think I have reached my hair goal. I don't want my hair that much longer. It's past my waist in the back. All this hair makes for a heavy head and not very fun workouts at the gym. My hair dresser tried to sell me hair products today, which I thought was weird. She knows I don't really like using anything. And when I decided to buy some hair straightening stuff, they were out of stock. I told her I was going to look for it elsewhere, and her face just fell. I felt so bad! I finished my first season of Nip/Tuck. I thought the season 1 finale was too... perfect. Let's see what Season 2 brings!! My legs are stiff today. I tried HIIT yesterday at the gym to save time. I warmed up for 5 minutes and alternated between sprinting for 20 seconds and jogging for 40 seconds 12 times. Then I cooled down. It was good! I also told my coworker about possibly not going to Vegas. It was difficult. I just told her that money was an issue right now. But she still offered to pay for my airfar now and then have me pay her back in December. Nice, but that is not going to solve my money issues! I really should budget. |

Yes! A wardrobe of glasses if you can afford them is a good idea!
My hair is long too. After I wash it I put it in two "Indian" braids to dry. After that, I usually use a barrette to tie it back and then roll it up and under. I am not wearing it down like I use to as much. Easier to tap dance with a roll under do. LOL

Wow! You sure have long hair. Mine is always kept fairly short... I think it frames my face better short! Long hair makes me look fat! :P
What is HIIT? Is it a type of workout? Is it effective?
PS... good on you for resisting the sale temptation... I know, I'm like you and can't resist a deal!

I usually just have my hair loose or in a bun or ponytail. I don't have the patience to do anything fancier!

I think I just keep my hair long because I get compliments on it, but I feel like a "before" from those makeover photos!! I'm sure I'll go shorter one day when I feel like I have had enough!
I thought I was doing HIIT, but I don't think I was (it was probably more like regular interval training). HIIT is high intensity interval training when you do a ratio of 1:3 of high intensity cardio and then recovery. It's like sprinting at full speed for 20 seconds and then walking for 40. You do about 12 rounds of this! By the end, you should feel like you're dying!
I am trying to find out more about this on the 'net!!

Oh. I *know* how hard it is to save. I'm really bad at it. Like, REALLY bad. I'm getting better but I still make more than my share of compulsive purchases. I've discovered that I do better if I just carry cash so I've started to do that. I have my bank card hidden in my wallet, I take out cash at the begining of the week and it has to last to the end. And I don't carry credit cards. It works for me because I have very little self control.
