  20. love it, especially about the curly hair. my hair is just like yours. i leave it curly in the humid months and i can't help myself -- i spend a ton of time blowing it out straight in the cold, dry months.

    embrace the curl!

    ps -- have you tried curls rock? best product for curly hair ever. the stuff in the blue pump. awesome.

  22. I teared up when I read your mom was your biggest fan, teacher and best friend.....that's exactly how I would describe my Mum.......she passed away the day after Christmas.....

    Laughed when I read about your hair.....mine's not super curly....but in need of a cut and just plain icky today.....

    Totally agreed about your head swimming with ideas.....OH MY GOSH....I wish I could slow down for a few minutes so I could get something done!

    And I LOVE the antique malls in Agoura......I actually saw a tole tray there years ago and regretted not buying it.....now I have about 25! I've only been to LA twice, but dream of going to the Santa Monica flea market and Agoura Hills all the time! The last time I went the tole trays were hundreds of dollars! WHAT?? Holy cow....

    Enjoy your cute jammies, honey and weekend!

    Warm hugs.......
    Spencer
