So, this is post #99… and I haven’t been posting because I have had so much to say and didn’t want to pass my 100th post without it’s due celebration and answer the questions that were asked of me.
Anyway… I have a lot to discuss.
For starters, my braids:
I think they look amazing. I didn’t get them braided all the way down. Instead, without realizing it, I chose to have her braid like 2 inches of hair and leave the rest loose. When I realized the error of my decision I was devastated but it was too late for me to have her go back and do more braiding. She did these itty bitty braids that I personally doubt I could be patient enough to do for 30 minutes. It took her over 7 hours to do mine.
When she got done, I was pain free, but I looked like some off version of Diana Ross. I had so much wacky hair and she left it the same length it was so it was down to my ass. Not fun.
I got home and opted to not take pictures cause the braids were stiff and the hair was too long. I had no idea what I was going to do with the hair because there was no way in hell I was going to walk around with Diana Ross hair down to my ass. SO, I grabbed my scissors and got to cutting. It’s finally loosened up, and it’s fallen and acting like normal hair. One of the things I am not too happy about it that I wasn’t able to get the hair I wanted to. I bought some really cheap human hair which gets tangled and easily looks frizzy. But next time I will not make the same mistake.
Anyway, here is what I look like this week (I look awful so don’t look too hard):
I am having so much fun with it, and I get way too many compliments on my new slimmer version of Chaka Khan’s hairdo… not that Chaka is any better than Diana’s wide fro… But it’s my hair now and I’m loving it. Plus it’s really entertaining when people stare at me and then want to touch it and ask me a million questions. I’m not allowing myself to think about when I have to take them down or even when I have to sit down again for another seven hours. How ever will I duplicate my amazing haircut?!?!?
Godiva Chocolates – Go Buy Some Today!
I love love love the chocolate covered marshmallows from Godiva. I try to go to their little store and pick up a few every week. The mall is in the opposite direction of where I live, but those little marshmallows are so good I must waste gas to buy their overpriced stuff.
Anyway… the other day I went to the mall and had to make my required stop to get some chocolate. My DH bought a few items as well because he too has become obsessed with their chocolate covered goodness. He also decided to be adventurous and get a truffle or something from behind the counter. Whatever it was cost me 2 dollars. We went and bought a few other things in the mall and then headed home. The drive back is like 20-25 minutes, sometimes more depending on traffic, which in Dallas means it can take an hour to go 10 miles.
Well, we got home, started eating the chocolate and discover the truffle is missing. DH really wanted his truffle so he insisted on calling to complain. I’m all for complaining so I was like, whatever, do you…
So, he called and you will never guess what happened.
I promise you… you won’t ever guess this.
They apologized and offered to drive it to us.
One piece of chocolate… 30 minute drive… with these gas prices.
Even after they were told how far they’d have to go they still insisted on bringing it to us.
We decided to not have them drive the $2 chocolate to us, and instead we’d get something the next time we go for our weekly fix.
Now THAT is customer service. I will forever continue to give them my business… especially that particular store.
I’m Knocked Up! I Blame Angelika!
Soooooooo, teenage girls are getting knocked up. In particular, seventeen dumb girls in Massachusetts decided to enter a pact to get pregnant together so they could raise their babies together and all be lifelong friends. None of these girls are over the age of 16… And who’s fault is this?
Jamie Lynn Spears and the movie Juno.
I need someone to explain to me how the media and parents and other bozo fools can think that because one semi-celebrity got pregnant, she is now responsible for the increase in teenage pregnancies. I don’t get it. Maybe I am stupid but to me, the people responsible for these girls getting pregnant are their parents. Where were mommy and daddy when they were out getting laid? I know I was watched like a hawk by my parents. Granted, I still “snuck” out and got my groove on when I could, HOWEVER when I did my sneaky-sneaky I would come home to a mother AND father waiting to let me have it with both barrels and then and maybe an ass whooping afterwards.
And HOW did THEY not know? SEVENTEEN GIRLS CAN’T KEEP A DAMN SECRET!!! Hell, two girls can’t keep a damn secret. I refuse to believe that some of these parents were clueless as to what these girls were doing. It’s not even a big ass city. Thirty thousand there? Come on. They knew… and now they want to get on TV and act shocked and blame celebrities and some independent movie I am sure most of them haven’t even seen. Get out of here with that nonsense.
