If You're Too Lazy to Get a Hair Cut Like Me...

I'm going to be nice and share a secret with you ladies who happen to read this.

 So if you're like me you probably fry your hair daily and you also probably don't make it to get your hair cut nearly as often as you should. Over the past few weeks my hair was was really starting to look awful. I'm talking split ends and dry craziness. So last night I decided to try olive oil. Now olive oil is a little pricey but the great news is you don't need a lot. Even if you have a ton of hair like me. 

Basically you just put a little bit in a bowl and heat it up for like 45 seconds in the microwave and then massage it into your (wet) hair. Now if your ends are just bad you can just use it there, but it's also really great for your scalp. You're supposed to then put a shower cap on, but I personally don't own a shower cap so I got creative with saran wrap. And then you leave it in for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight. Due to my much damaged hair I decided to leave it in in overnight....

And it totally worked! Now I still need a hair cut within the next few weeks , but my hair looks so much healthier. 

On a more "Susan-like" note, Jon Huntsman dropped out of the race today and threw his support to Mitt Romney. It's a shame his campaign never caught on more. He was much more interesting than most of the others.

A Few Thoughts on the Election

I just knew I'd be bad at blogging. I don't think I've done this since September. I definitely think that qualifies as "bad at blogging." So that puts a lot of pressure on this post to be pretty dang good.. Don't get your hopes up.

Unless you've been living under a rock you know that election time is nearing (well kinda) and hopefully you have some sort of an idea of who is running. Surely you at least know that Barack Obama is the Democratic candidate. That's the easy one. Now I personally do not fall into the "anyone is better than Barrack Obama" mindset. In fact I think that is a cop out response. Because in reality it could be worse, much worse.

Now the GOP field does have a few more names to remember. But most of them won't be able to hold on much longer after the Florida primary anyway, which is on Jan. 31st. Right now there are six candidates left: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Ron Raul, Rick Perry, and  Jon Hunstman.

I have spent a great deal of time following this election (probably too much time) and have come to several conclusions: Rick Perry needs to stay in Texas, Newt Gingrich can be quite a baby which is a shame because he can be terribly intelligent sometimes, and Jon Hunstman would make an interesting Secretary of State.

Now for what I can't quite figure out. Why is Ron Paul so popular among young college students? And how can Rick Santorum say "when I left office" when he lost his re-election by 17%, the largest margin of any incumbent Republican Senator ever. He didn't leave. He got fired, big time. And of course the biggest question of all, can Mitt Romney grab the nomination?
