Is this thing on?
Remember me?
I haven’t posted much lately. It feels like I’m busy but I haven’t been up to that much either. I do know one of the things that has taken up some time is BSF. It does take time to do the homework. Sometimes the questions are ‘easy’ and other times they require a little more digging. But it’s been good. Yippee.. this week Jesus *finally* gets to raise from the dead. I’m so glad. It’s hard to stay with His walk to the cross and His time on the cross for such a long time. So this will be an especially good week of study.
And now for some little bits of random… remember the other day when I asked your opinions on hard anodized non stick cookware. Well here’s the deal.. I bought this the other day.
It’s made out of aluminum and then it’s got some fancy-dancy coating on it and I just wasn’t sure I wanted to cook with it. So it’s been sitting on my floor for a while now while I made up my mind.
Well I made it up. It hit me yesterday that I already have some really nice non stick cookware.
They’re called IRON SKILLETS. Aaaand, I can buy a universal lid for the bigger one and it will work exactly like the pricey model with the fancy coatings on it. So, that’s what I’m going to do!
I started using some new shampoo recently.. told you this was random.. Dove. And I really liked it. I really really liked it..more than Sally Field. Sorry, couldn’t resist throwing that in. Anyway, I went to buy another bottle the other day and they had changed the packaging. That drives me nuts. But I read all my buzz words… cucumber…cool moisture.. and thought we’re all good. And got it home and started using it.. and and and.. I can hardly say it.. they CHANGED IT. I guess I missed the words weightless formula. Y’all, they added conditioner. Kiss of death. It makes my hair all slippery and limp and it won’t do a dog-gone thang! So! I had a chit chat with the girl that does my hair, who knows I have a leaning toward wanting to pick up my shampoo at the Walmart instead of hoofing it over to Sally and paying an arm and a leg. She told me to try TRESemme. I went straight to the Walmart yesterday to get some and I thought I was gonna have a stroke just trying to find the right ‘formula’.. no, not color treated, not extra body, not damaged, not breakage control. I was thinking good-NESS, y’all, I just wanna wash my hair and without it leaving an oil slick. And then I found NORMAL shampoo on the bottom shelf about 4 inches off the floor. Evidently there aren’t very many people out there with normal hair. I feel special. I got home and used it and felt even more special. I’m in love again. Yay!
And speaking of fancy-dancy and hair... we had a hair rehearsal last weekend for a fancy-dancy par-tay the girl is going to on Saturday night. I am not much of a hair ‘doer’ and didn’t have a clue what to do to make her hair look special. So the girl who does my hair make a couple of suggestions and viola…
I think I did a perty good job, thankyouverymuch. And just an fyi.. no she won’t be using the orange clippy. That was just to practice.
The end.

Kay, I'm like you -- it drives me crazy when they discontinue or change a product I love. Especially jeans -- don't even get me started on that! :)
oh gosh... you make me giggle :) so.. ar eyou returning the cookware? and just sticking with your cast iron? the only cast iron we have is for camp cooking. and the shampoo? why oh why do they redesign the packaging?! and then, like you, just when i fall in love with something they change it or discontinue it. shoes. bras. shampoo... jeans... you name it! glad you found something great though! (i bet we have the same hair... i use "fat" hair by sammy that i get at walgreens. it is not cheap ($8) but it is worth it to me! and i love the party hair-do! i love her hair period!
I'm glad to see that you are back!
I hate it when they change the packaging or the formula of my favorite products. It drives me nuts! You are definitely not alone.
And the hairstyle is gorgeous (even with the orange clip)!
Very cute hair for "the girl". I know what you mean about the shampoo!!! same thing with toothpaste, lotion, etc. sooooo many variations. I don't want to use that much brain power in the health & beauty aisle at Wal-Mart.
Nice random post :) Who knows, I may get back to blogging one of these days. I keep meaning to ask, what does BSF stand for?
I LOVE Cast Iron!
I use it for most of MY cooking....in MY kitchen. *a-hem*
Look up the benefits of using cast iron. I read somewhere that it is actually more healthy for you and something about it actually adds IRON to your foods. Interesting.
I get what you're saying about all of the fancy additives. In fact, my favorite soap-shampoo is Dr. Bronner's Biodegradeable Liquid Castile soap (the mint scent). It smells wonderfully refreshing and it cleans everything - you can even hand-wash your delicate laundry in it. I kid you not! Try it!
LOVE the cast iron skillets; have trouble lifting them.
Your girl's hair looks fabulous; not too fussy, natural, yet special. NICE WORK!
I love your random-ness.
I also don't like the shampoo that has conditioner in it...but I use it daily...do you know why? Cause that is what the husband likes. And I don't want to clutter my shower. Crazy huh? Ok, I am going to try the plain tresemme stuff now.
Daughter's hair looks amazing!!!
The hairdo is beautiful!
And I am WITH you about changing stuff.... didn't "New Coke" teach the world ANYTHING???!!!!
Believe it or not, my very favorite jeans are from Wal Mart and have been discontinued. I have 2 pair and I love them. They fit me perfectly and I can't find any others that are as good (or cost as little!)
As far as the iron skillet, good thinking! Those get better w/each use, PLUS it adds a small amount of iron to your food (added bonus!) I found this out when I had low iron and my doc told me to start cooking with a cast iron skillet... who knew?!
