My Hair is Boring…So I ramble

I know I should be talking about my hair, but it is not doing anything. I could talk about cooking some cool and new recipes, but I haven't been doing that either. So I'll just ramble as usual.

• I am going home after work today to wash my hair. Why? Because I will be retightening it tomorrow and Friday and hopefully I'll be done before Sunday. On Sunday I plan to soft spike it and let them suckers sit in my head for over 24 hours as I bask in nothingness on Monday. It is Labor Day and I plan to do no labor.
  
• Um, is anyone besides myself disturbed the 18 and counting folks are pregnant again? I know they don't believe in birth control and such, but at what point is it too many? I wonder how her body is handling this. The baby isn't even a year and she is already 3 months pregnant. I have tried to watch their show, but I am such a pessimist and I just can't believe they love living like that. I also wonder how much parenting is being done by the actual parents instead of the children. I see the older ones doing a lot of hands on with the smaller children. I guess I shouldn't worry about their life, but it is just disturbing. Will she continue to have children until she reaches menopause?
  
• I wish someone besides me would interview on my second job. The constant calling for interviews as soon as I get to work is working my last raw nerve. The applications are horrible for the most part. One precious mama's son called me a minute before closing asking for an interview. I politely and firmly said, "Are you kidding me?" Just kidding, I told him to call back on another day because I was in the process of closing for the night.
  
• I have young worker who is on some rebellious shyte right now. Right before she graduated from high school her mother put her out the house and she has been put out about 4 times since then. I had to have a come to Jesus meeting with her yesterday since she called in Sunday saying she was sick. Dayum lie, she asked me if someone could work her shift and I said no. I let her know that was her last time pulling that stunt. I also told her with her life being so chaotic she needs to sit down somewhere and get it together because the mess she is running around in the streets doing isn't going to make her future lovely, it will be the exact opposite.
  
• My book club had a family and friends meeting on Saturday to discuss Steve Harvey's Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. We had several female guests and two males. Let's just say the discussion was lively. Guys really think about the cookies A LOT! The one thing I can say is black women and men really need to learn how to communicate with each other, because we do not know how to effectively. It was a really good discussion. Do I agree with everything Steve said no, but a lot of the stuff he had in there was common sense things I already knew and have said to folks.
  
• My birthday is next week and I have absolutely no plans for it. I plan to sit on my behind the entire weekend and just rest. I am supposed to go have drinks on my birthday, but I'll probably cancel. I am supposed to go to book club's member's birthday the day after mine for her B'day celebration. I am going to show my face, but I ain't staying. For some reason, the idea of overindulging in alcohol is not on my agenda. Watching folks get drunk isn't something I want to watch either. My time is too precious now.
  
• Oh, I'll be 40. That is why folks seem to be haggling me about a birthday celebration. I guess this goes back to my childhood where we didn't have many birthday parties. My mama did the best she could by having a dinner and your favorite homemade cake. So I although I recognize the occasion, I have never really gone all out for them and a birthday party is out of the question. Blah!
  
• I wrote a Dear Daddy letter that will appear on my book club's website in a week or so. Make sure you check it out. http://imanivoices.com
  
• My youngest niece starts kindergarten on next Tuesday. The time has gone by fast. My sister better get ready for the constant school calls because my niece has an interesting mouth. LOL! Plus, she is very intelligent.
  
• I will post some recent pictures at some point. Seriously, my hair is boring right now. I haven't been styling. My braidout lasts a couple of weeks or at least until I wash it. I'll take a picture after my soft spike set for sure. I just ordered the reconstructor because I think my hair needs some extra nourishment. It is still growing, but again it is boring right now. Oh, I have a new camera so I hope the texture pictures will show up much better.
  

Hope everyone on SL blog world is doing great. Most folks aren't blogging as much and I can understand why, but I hope to blog longer even if I have to change the direction of the blog. Lata!
