Brass tacks now. I made a long list of things to accomplish in advance of Saturday's meeting. I'm getting very pumped about it, sleeping very poorly last night. My brain was racing, trying to maintain a mental to-do list. I can't afford to miss beauty sleep just now, so I wrote it all down today to allow my mind to rest.
Today, I picked up my package from Newport-News. The pink skirt was a little too large, and not at all to my liking. I will be sending it back. The cocoa denim pencil skirt, however, more than made up for it. Quite tight around the waist, just the way I like it. It's nice to wear clothes that improve your posture, making you stand up straighter. I picked out a blouse to go over my cream colored shell, so I have an outfit chosen. That's a big one crossed off the list.
I worked on my wig for about forty minutes. I'm not sure if synthetic hair gets split ends, but the evidence here says yes. The tangles stayed no matter how long I combed. My wig had more knots than a Boy Scout camp. I think it's passable now, but it will require special attention soon. My inattention to its needs is starting to show.
After I finish typing here, I am going to paint my toenails. I haven't had them polished in about eight months. Living large, huh?

I'm with you on the lists thing, Mrs. J is sick to death of my obsessing already and the meet here is over a week away.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if synthetic wigs get split ends or not, but I do know that as you move your head from side to side, the hairs roll against your clothing and twist together. The coarser the fabric, the worse it tangles the hair. Silky polyester tops with scooped out necklines, seem to tangle the hair less. Sweaters and tops with collars are the worst. To get the tangle out, you need to lightly brush, never comb, starting at the tips and slowly working you way up the hair. The tangles can get pretty tight, and some of the hairs will break off in the process of brushing them out. Eventually the wig starts looking ratty on the ends, like it has split ends. I wear a wig every day, so they only last about a month, before they need to be replaced.
