Who Knew??

It is true, I have delved deeper into My Little Pony Land. Last night, we took Precious Gem, washed her hair, conditioned it and then curled it with straws. While she was in curlers, we took a Magic Eraser to her and cleaned her up. This morning, she looks like her ravishing self once more. I took the 4 most frizzy ponies today and treated them to a make over. Rainbow Dash was washed, conditioned, combed and styled. Flower Flash got a similar treatment. Star Catcher had a more extreme make over, she had the tinsel removed from her mane and tail and then she was washed, combed and styled. She is currently wrapped and drying on top of the fridge. Also on top of the fridge, with deep conditioner, is Tink-a-Tink-a-Too. Can you tell I looked up all their names? I found a fabulous, for MLP anyway, website that you can search for who you have by color. I can click on Pink and then look at all the symbols to find which pony I have. Of course, Kierynn is not entirely thrilled with my interest in her ponies and told me to get my own. Guess what? I did!

I got some from eBay and plan to make some custom ponies for myself. These will be display ponies only but way cool if I pull it off. The ponies I got are already beheaded and had the hair removed. I need to dye, rehair and then customize. I have in mind what I want to do. I probably will try a few before I make the ones I really want to.

Enough of ponies, I know not everyone find it fascinating but who knew there was an entire My Little Pony fandom out there? There is even a group that collects fake MLP. Okay, I will stop. I promise.

I had a sick kidlet home today and 2 more are barking like seals. I ended up down on the deadmill rather than going out in the 33F weather. Our basement is cool, maybe 62F so it was a nice temperature. It was kinda weird to be on the deadmill with the mp3 player while the three wee ones were running around the basement playing and had on Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

It is interesting to note that I am not quite as anti-treadmill as I used to be. I still find it difficult and boring but I do have to admit that I went faster and didn't feel like I was putting the same amount of effort. This is a switch from a year ago when I felt like I went slower and was working harder on a treadmill. I didn't make it as far as I would have liked but I count any milage on the deadmill as a success.
