It's been a Long Time

I just woke up. Mashed morning hair.
I pinned up the sides.
LockLoops. Interesting!
It really works. I used it all week. I used warm deep only and warmth.
This is what I paid $60.00 for.


My new baby and my big baby! (my sister's baby) not mine.

FRIED!!
More FRIED Crap!!

Well it has been a long time since I have blogged. Quite a few things have been going on. Well Penny has a new baby, a new little niece. My sister had her baby girl. My sweetie her song is "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers. I know it's corny. I gave my two boys theme songs when they were born so songs make me simile. My oldest was 'You are the sunshine of my Life" and I used to sing it to him all the time. I called him my sunshine because he always brightened my day. He still does.




****Work****


At work they will lay off 800 or so teachers. Enough said.... Mismanagement of the budget allocations. Some bull........ I have a tendency to internalize problems so I try not to think about about it but pink slips will be give next week. It's sad that in these tough economic times people have to lose their jobs due to no fault of their own.




****State Fair***


Last week I went to the fair. Dang must we fry everything. They are know for lots ot crazy food like fried oreos, fried coke, fried snickers, fried pralines, fried peanut butter and jelly and banana sandwiches and fried cheesecake. All kind of crap. Yes I tried the fried pralines and she said would like some ice cream and chocolate syrup and whipped cream as if the deep frying were not enough. Lots of food. Too much to remember. My diet is on the road to nowhere. I bought some Hydroxycut. Why? Oh because I can drink it. It comes in a powder packet like those crystal light koolaid instant packs for bottled water. I am sorry Nihuru. I suck!! Go weight loss team.






**** Oh yeah "My Hair"****


I bought some lock loops. I did trim my hair some more. I was trying to make sure it was evenly cut. You know picking up the layers and trimming in sections. I am still retightening myself. Actually I have an appointment but I have to get my car fixed. I smell gas when I drive and that trumps the treat to the salon. my kids were in the back seat and they said they smelled gas. Why is it that when your car is almost paid off(5 months left) mess starts to happen? I will post pictures with the lock loops results soon.






**** My Playlist****


I know I have a lot a stuff on my playlist. You know what I do. I load all that stuff so that I can work and sing along. I upload my blog and close the window and open other windows while my music plays. I do it while looking at other people's blog. I almost always mute the music on other blogs because I want to hear my music. Crazy! Music is therapy for me. It's relaxing.




***New Makeup****


I bought "bare minerals" I like it. I was breaking out with the MAC(studio fix). I went in my sister's mother-in-law because she swears by the stuff. I let her give me a mini make over. I was cool. We went into a cosmetic store and allowed them to give me another makeover and then I purchased the kit. It's all in the brush.


However you have to make sure you don't get all that crap so that you don't look gray. Don't use all that stuff. This week I had an allergic reaction to some lip gloss and my lips swelled up like "sherman Klump" in the Nutty professor. I had to take lots of benydral which took two days to get back to normal. I am still trying to find a nice shade of lipstick I like that looks nice on brown girls.

Wow Penny you and your sister have been busy. Congratulations to both of you on the lil bundle of blessings.

Don't worry about the weight loss or lack thereof. We all struggle and / or fall. I've hit a plateau and I can't seem to lose another ounce. LOL

I just got home from work; been up for 32 hours straight so I can't remember what else I wanted to comment about so I will stop here...

I'll keep all of you from the school in my prayers. Be Blessed!

Girl I didn't have a baby. Aint no way. Gotta have someone special in mine for that. Besides my diaper changing days are over and I like sleeping all night long. I call her kid's Penny's babies. My niece calls me Penny so I always say what does Penny's baby need. She is funny.

Sorry girlfriend, I didn't mean to imply that you had a baby...I meant your sister was busy (having the baby) and you with all of the things that were going on in your life...LOL

Locs2Envy said...

....but I feel you on "aint no way"...sh@t, someone special or not I'm not having another nothing. Hell, he better walk on water for me to even CONSIDER having another child. My baby is about to graduate high school in May...somebody would have to commit my butt if I found out that I was pregnant...hell, they almost had to 17 years ago....LMAO (crazy story-will have to tell it someday)

FRIED COKE, I saw a youtube video with three really, really plus-size(beyond ashley stewart sizes) making fried twinkies. One pulled out the ice cream. They dipped the twinkie in batter and fried it.

Congratulations on your baby niece.

Hey P,

The peroxide that you and your friend used - for sores, mouthwash etc worked because it is the same as the peroxide used to remove color or lighten your hair, it is just less concentrated so it took longer for you to get the desired effect....it's about 2.5 - 5 % volume of active ingredient whereas the developer (peroxide) you use on your hair ranges for 20 - 40% volume and can be diluted to other volumes by adding water. The higher the volume, the greater the lift (hair color lightening) and the shorter the time it needs to be on the hair because higher volumes work faster on most hair types. It removed color from your hair. You were probably stuck in the "red" zone because that volume of developer can only "lift" so high. The more lift (lighter the color) that you want,the higher the volume should be. When you mix developer (which is another name for peroxide and lightener is another name for bleach; which you should not use if you aren't experienced) with color, the developer removes color, and then the added color is deposited into the hair shaft. After you shampoo, you should always rinse with tepid water because this shuts your cuticles back down and seals the color. Ok now that's your lesson in color for today...go make some beautiful colors and show me what you have learned LOL...By the way, I only color with 40 volume creme developer (creme because it is safe for your scalp and doesn't burn)because I am very impatient and want everything NOW and I don't like to leave chemicals on my hair for very long.

Try mixing some Kool-aid with some 40 volume developer, sit under the hot dryer for 20 minutes and see what you get....hint: don't use bright red LOL

Be Blessed!
