Changes

Since its Monday night and I'm supposed to HAVE read but didn't, guess I'll post something:

Sunday was a VERY busy day. Got up and took the beau out to see a friend that's going to the Marine's soon. Took the time without him and ran crazy errands. Went to the beauty supply store first. Almost went to the liquor store, but decided against it. Went to CarSpa and got and oil change. And a transmission flush (damnit). And a free car wash (yaay). Went home, grabbed all the dirty laundry I could find and went to the wash house. I cannot WAIT until I have my OWN place with a washer and dryer IN IT! The last place with T wasn't bad at all, but since we've moved on, can't wait to have it again. This crap sucks! Anyway, did laundry then ran to the grocery store for a few provisions. Went home and put the beauty supply store's provisions to work. Big announcement:

I NO LONGER HAVE NATURALLY CURLY HAIR!

Yep. I did it. I went back to the relaxer. Its like this: I have always loved my comb. The fact that I could run one through my hair and curl the ends and wear hats and hoodies...all of that stuff is me. Plus, I'm the type that gets bored with my hair very easily. Its weird, because I can wear braids for ages, but they have to be in some kind of style that I can change. With the natural hair, its more of a lazy, laid back kind of thing, and that was cool because it was really hard to have a bad hair day. No matter what, rain, wind, whatever, it would look the same. But I want my hats and hoodies back. I need to be able to wear stuff on my head...I get too sick in the winter without it. That and my natural hair is not like others. I understand that naturally curly hair is very fragile. On other people. My hair could get in a fight with a brick and win. Its tough, thick, and it loovvvves itself, meaning it liked clinging to itself. I have nothing against my natural hair, and I believe its some of the most beautiful stuff ever, BUT I like my comb and hats and hoodies and being able to do more with it than I could. If I could braid I could have done more but I probably still wouldn't have. And straight hair can be braided, so whatever. I do love my natural hair, and will probably go back to it, especially when I start releasing spawn upon the earth but I probably need to either 1) learn how to braid my own hair, 2) have enough money to pay to get it done when I want to or 3) lock it up because it would take in a heartbeat. Also, most people go from relaxer to natural because their hair isn't thick enough or other reasons that just don't really apply to me. My hair will and has always been strong, no matter what state its in (except when I overprocessed it which is why I went natural to begin with, to start over).

Went and picked up the beau before I was really ready, which led to my hair coming out a little thick in a few areas, but I never gave myself a virgin relaxer before, so I expected that anyway, plus I need haircut now, BAD. Spent the rest of the night snacking it up and chilling out.

Got up today felling like complete crap (probably from all of the activity yesterday) and laid around thinking about dinner, the fact that I ate almost NOTHING yesterday, not cooking dinner and eating tuna that was still in the fridge, reading, and then doing some of what I though about. Boo on the I Want to Work For Diddy winners. Just boo. Good job Hoopz for winning $250,000, wish it was me right now. Boo on CWTV for not showing new episodes tonight.

Will possibly go on a snack run. Soon.

G'Night.
