All to no avail... her hair curled whatever direction the curling iron told it to, but mine on the other hand had, and still has, a mind of it's own!

I did the course back when it was offered for free online through what was once called Barnes and Nobles University - it was free to join and basically a place where authors offered free courses, of course buying the book for the course was recommended, but I was able to get it at the library. I wish Barnes and Nobles still had that service but I suppose too many people started branching out on there own and charging (and profiting) for themselves instead.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500564300569765406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-10626151283707718902012-01-18T20:24:50.714-07:002012-01-18T20:24:50.714-07:00Aldra - It took me many, MANY years to make peace ...Aldra - It took me many, MANY years to make peace with my hair.

Hey... it's <i>frugal!</i><br /><br />I just stumbled upon Janet Luhrs' web page when I was trying to make sure I spelled her name right. It gave me mixed feelings... I totally LOVED her book, and I'm sure the online course is great... but the fact that she charges money for it made me queasy. Not that she doesn't have a right to make a living, but somehow it just seems wrong to charge people nearly $50 to teach them how to save money!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-30638761566385780292012-01-18T17:51:43.643-07:002012-01-18T17:51:43.643-07:00Believe it or not I haven't read that book but...Believe it or not I haven't read that book but I did do the online course with the book "The Simple Living Guide" by Janet Luhrs years ago and loved it - it was life changing for me.<br /><br />I had to laugh when I saw the photo of you and your best friend. My first thought was that I could cut out the faces and replace them with me and my best friend from back in those days - same clothes, same hair and for me cats back then too :-)<br /><br />Congrats on your pen epiphany and so glad you got in touch with your friend!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500564300569765406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-75342794943160478982012-01-18T16:28:39.621-07:002012-01-18T16:28:39.621-07:00Roxanne - Power to the slackers, I say!
