Tried the Bantu Knots...

Well, I tried them, buuutttt it didnt come out how I was hoping. Due to the limited time I had to get ready for church, I did what any self-reapecting lady would have done... Threw on my clothes, accessories, make up, and rocked that fro like it was the best thing under the sun. (smile).

I went to church, and service was another life changing message (praise God), then went home to play in the pool with my AFRO! Today is the 4th and I have basically decided to do a slickback pony and sit in this crazy heat to enjoy good food and drinks with some friends. I have 9 more days and trust me, I can't wait!!

P.S.  Shout out to my new followers... Hope u r enjoying my rants :-). Feel free to leave any comments ...

AFrooooo

So I am wearing a twist out fro.  I had a little bit of fun with my hair today and I am continuing to get more and more comfortable with my afro.  But, it is just as much work as a straightened wrap.  I gotta twist the hair, then curl the ends, then let it sit, then pick the twists and make sure that the strands are doing what they are supposed to do.  (I am a little anal about my hair sometimes).  I am looking forward to my SLs... They are more of a "style" to me than the 'Fro.  Unless I pin my hair or put a headband or barrett/clip in my hair, I don't feel like my hair is combed.  And my hubbz don't make it better as he looks at me with a facial expression of "ooohhh-kay... but I love you (smile)".  I should have taken a picture of my hair today... Maybe tomorrow.  It will be interesting because I will be going back to work tomorrow (been on vacation) and it will be on my 2nd day on my new per diem job in the nursing home.  This means that I float around to sites that need me to provide therapy... (I am a Speech Language Pathologist - but pay no mind to my grammar on the blogs....  I am a product of text talk when I am not in my professional mode)  This also means that I don't truly have rapport with the patients or staff because I am always floating around....Well anyway, I find that the elderly patients have no trouble with speaking their mind (I usually work with children).  It will be interesting to hear what they have to say, if anything...  I will try to remember to take a picture tomorrow and add it to show my look.
