I'm back and I'm on fire! Not literally of course.

Wow. A new post? What? Whaaaat?! I'm coming back. For real this time. No more bell pepper from May taking up the coveted spot of latest post.

So much time... So little happened. Except that I've been keeping up with my hair, finding the BEST stuff on Pinterest, still Jazzing it out every chance I get, and trying... ooooh how I'm trying... to keep up with friends/family and making a happy home. My BFF got married and the other BFF went all mother Earth and had a baby without.any.meds. Talk about proud. Perhaps they'll follow in posts to come. Who knows what fun stuff we'll see this year. (can you hear the sarcasm? I sure hope so)

First up... the hair:
I've been bad... like putting my hair in braids since the beginning bad. Braids aren't a bad thing... until you start to abuse them. Like not washing your hair for weeks a time, or being careful not to let product build up take over and make your hair so matted you have to practically have the beginnings of awesome dreads. Um yeah. We were at that stage.
I don't really know what my hair likes. We're strangers passing in the night and in the morning when we look at each other, it's with mutual shame. Shame I say. But alas the 30 day challenge is upon us. My hair and I decided that we were going to become fast friends. No more braids for 30 days.
I'm sad but what can I do? I must make this work. Natural is the angel on my shoulder and that devil of a creamy crack (you know, relaxer) wants me back. He's promised me jewels, fancy clothes and a happier life. And I want it all. Doesn't everyone?
So here we are:
Fourth day braid out, praying it will last one more workout, and thinking that this picture makes my hair look much longer than I think it really is. (I'm also thinking it's making my neck look much longer than it is in real life... right? just lie to me)

Pinterest:
Pinterest has become an obsession. I'm sure everyone's on it. I'm sure I'm the last to know about it and that's okay because I can't imagine what I would have done for 4 years of knowing this was out there. It's a black hole and I'm a sucker... I got sucked in the first day. You should too! Come and play. Look me up. I'm right HERE!

Okay I don't want to spoil you guys so I'm going to head out. But it feels good to be back. I've missed you guys... all 2 of you.
