| Birthday Cake |
Wow! I knew it had been a while since I
had posted to the blog, but I didn’t think it had been this long. Soooo let's play catch up in August I celebrated my 28
th
birthday!! I had a small birthday dinner
the weekend before with a few good friends and family. I always want to do
something big and grand for my birthday(s) but over the years I’ve realized that
friends that are reliable are few and far between. I always work myself up
because I invite people that I feel are my friends but they never show or give
some excuse as to why they can’t come. I’ve realized people make time for whom
and what they want to and I’m just not one….and I’m okay with that. Sorry about
that tangent I went off on. But we went to dinner had drinks shared some laughs
and called it a night. Chaz and I went
to the outlets and did some shopping and went to dinner and ended the night lying
in the hotel bed watching football. Great night huh!?! I enjoyed it and spent
time with those that really mattered so it was perfect for me. Plus I realized just how close to the 3-0 I am. It put into perspective that I've still got a few things to do in my 20's that I haven't done yet! Let the countdown begin to 30.
College Football season is here and U of SC has some
disappointed fans. Prior to the season they predicted us to go all the way. I
had confidence that our team was going to do something this year. But being a
Gamecock fan from the beginning of my life I knew that they would build us up
with excitement just to let us down. We
lost our first game of the season to Texas A&M. There was some sore loser
in Willy B that night! We beat Georgia and lost to Missouri and Kentucky….you
know our fans are really mad now. Chaz reads the message boards and the whole
time I’m saying I don’t want to hear it. I know the fans are mad and upset but
come on…you hype these guys and coaches up as if they are the President of the
United States. This goes to their heads …. No you aren’t the baller that you
think you are and if you aren’t making plays or catches that you should be then
you shouldn’t get recognized for anything. For any kind of recognition you
should be outstanding on and off the field.

| Hair Before Cutting it |
About two weeks ago I decided to go ahead and cut my hair. I
gave into the creamy crack addiction. My hair was breaking off around the
edges, my weave was nappy and I was over spending ridiculous amounts of money on
natural hair care products. When we
relaxed it and washed it out. I thought my hair was longer than what it was, so
I wasn’t too disappointed or emotional when she started to cut it. We decided
that we would add some color to cover up my premature gray hair. So now I’m a
red, blond, brunette…but it shows up as red. At first I was like OMG WTF…
YIKES, because I thought it was going to be the ghetto red but it doesn’t stand
out that much. The reactions at work were good; my boss stared at me majority
of the day. He said it would take some getting use to! Then he proceed to tell
me his hair journey. Right now, I’m
pretty happy with the change. I just want to make the color more permanent so I
can start doing my hair at home more (washes and deep conditions).

| NEW CUT |
People think I was crazy to go back to creamy crack when I’ve
been natural for over a year. Natural isn’t for everyone. When I started my
hair was short and uneven so weaves became my best friend all over again so it
would grow. It finally started to grow and I did bantu knots and it didn’t come
out the way I expected it so It was right back in a weave I went. Plus I was
always concerned as to what people at work would think. I work in blue collar
(mostly white) male dominated work place, they would have no idea what I was
going through if I would have showed up with my natural hair out. For now I’m dedicating myself to getting my
hair back healthy, with relaxers. I
think I’m going to keep this short style for a while—at least until after the
New Year.
I promise the next post won’t be in three months. It will be
within a few days. I have a few things brewing in this beautiful mind of mine.
Hope all my readers are doing great!
