Comme ci comme ce...(so so...)

Wow, I've almost been NaPpTuRaL for a whole month! I think my hair has grown a little bit. It was a teeny tiny bit shorter when I cut it and after Momma shaped it up for me. Some of the shallower spots don't feel as shallow anymore. I could twist some of my hair if I wanted, but for some odd reason, I just want to wait until it gets longer.


My mom said if I let it grow back out, I am going to go through stages. I'm already trying to prepare for this, b/c I'm already starting to see the beginnings of a stage. I used to watch my little brother go through these awkward stages when he thought he wanted to grow his hair out and get braids.



And now it's time to post some more natural hair pictures for inspiration. Just b/c I'm fully natural now doesn't mean I no longer need motivation... I'm gonna need it badly now since I'm growing out...

WOOOoooOOOO

I'm back from the shadows!!!! MUHaHaHaHaaaaa!!!!! Okay, time for me to stop talking crazy...
The library had started closing at 330. I don't get out of school 'til then, so... yea, no internet for me!
The first day of school was very funny. I got a lot of shocked reactions the first few days. One of my friends is making it clear that she does NOT like it. Everytime we pass each other, she hollers out 'Baldy!' I don't even call attention to it. I am far from bald.
I tried baggying to get rid of the 'Morning Mat', but I'm too lazy for that, so I just do morning wash n' goes. I don't too much mess with the proteins that much anymore... they make my hair too hard. I only use proteins once in a while (as long as I'm rinsing them out). Especially ORSRP for DT's. So yea... my hair and Giovanni had a not-so-painful break-up. He's just a 'hit-it-and-quit-it' now, lol (as is Cantu Shea LI. I couldn't deal with the hardness AND the white flakes. SO not attractive)! So the two condishes I alternate as LI's are Aussie Moist and HEHH. I use Suave Moisture milks just to wash out. And when I shampoo once a week, I use J&J No More Tangles Shampoo+Conditioner for curly hair.

I also just (now a few minutes ago) finally ordered some AOHSR! Yaaay! I've heard so many good reviews on this that I can't wait to try it myself!

The bad stuff: The work schedule is WACK. Last week, I only got 3 HOURS! 3! I was supposed to work from 1-5 sat. and 2-5 sun. I got sent home around 3 on both days! And I only have 5 hours scheduled for this week. Mickey D's just isn't doing it for me... Yea, I've asked for more hours before. But there really isn't any point in asking for more now, especially b/c I'm in band and in school. But there are people in school with me that get way more hours than I get... So yea, still looking for a new gig in the work world...
I think the week that just passed has been PMS week. I've been depressed and everything else all last week. But that's over now!


And before I go, I have to tell you that I'm planning on writing a letter to my superintendent. I think that our school should have a dance/step team. Wouldn't that be a great idea??? I already have plenty of reasons. But a few more ideas (and tips on how to write it) from you would be great!
