I Thought My House Got Eaten

Thursday, February 12th, 2009 | 26 Comments

This storm passed through last night that first had monsoon-like rains and then at 4:30am woke both Mike and I up simultaneously with winds that sounded like it was eating the damn house!! I was certain there was a tornado roaring over us. Thankfully I was wrong, but there were wind gusts up to 60mph they said. It was so hard to fall back to sleep too. My body is so quick to pump adrenaline that I was pretty nauseous for the next half-hour that it took to fall back asleep.

The winds are still crazy today but thankfully I was working at home so I didn’t have to travel in them. Had builders come by today to fix their crappy heating duct work from when they built our home. That took HOURS and left my place extremely dusty not to mention it was distracting while I worked especially during some online seminar I had.

They cut 4 huge holes in my ceiling too MEGA CRINGE but they seemed to have patched them up pretty well so it shouldn’t be noticeable

I found some random curling tutorials I scanned in and thought I’d share them






tighter curly curlsss

I don’t know why but I just love this hairstyle pic! It looks so good on her~ I’m not sure it would work so great with my narrow face shape plus I don’t know if I’d be happy with 1-layer/length hair 100% of the time. Also I sometimes think long 1 length hair has a fine line between looking cute & mod and looking like plain Jane on me…. I tend to want lots of layers. I grew up with straight 1 length hair so that’s like the ANTI-GROWN-UP-JEN look in my mind~ But still it’s so cute I can’t help but think about it every now & then as an option.


VALENTINE BALLOONS


BITCHES BE ROCKIN’ BALLOONS!!!!!!!

YOU KNOW I BOUGHT THEM ALL! PSSHAW~~~!!
Do you like my poupee’s layered hobo look?? Hahaha it was quite a random day so whatever. Feel free to add me and a little msg saying you know me from my blog or w/e helps too!!

thanks for posting the curling tutorials! My hair is naturally wavy but it never really curls, and I always like Japanese girls’ small curls, so thank you. :]

extreme winds always scare me because I always imagine my windows crashing down, eep~

hope the winds have died down over there!

i don’t think my hair works with curls. my hair is extremely fine and i don’t have a lot of volume and it never seems to work. maybe i shall try again when my hair has grown. for now i’m enjoying my boyish cut. ~ you look lovely with curled hair! hmm, i think you should look nice with that hairstyle. a narrow oval face matches most hair dos~

oh goody that the storm is over. please be very careful of your surroundings, you never know, right?

thank you for the curling tutorials! I have naturally straight hair but sometimes it becomes a little boring being straight all the time so I bought my own curling iron and the scans are going to be a big help!

Man I love the extra ribbons Poupée’s been giving out lately. 30 ribbons for 1 non- interesting upload?! Holla!

I’m gonna have to bookmark those curling techniques. My hair is SO BORING x_x

I wish I could have bangs like that but I have this crazy cow-lick so it ends up looking super 90s x_x (& not in a good way, LOL)

I’m glad your house survived the storm! The chimney rattles and sings right behind my bed when we have storms here… spooky

Omg crazy! We got winds like that during the zillions of hurricanes coming through Florida… It can be scary!

GASP O.O *turns curling iron on* I love. I have natural curls but they aren’t that amazing. I wanna try too. ^.^ I wish we could have hime gyaru hair in America and it not be wierdo-ish… :\
