Goodness Gracious, great balls of fiya!!

In less than 2 weeks, I'll be on the road again with my honey. Sonny and I are driving out east. I've been a diligent little bee, working on him for a brief detour to our old Fair city. Not only do I need a little pickmeup (the kind that only NY can offer) but we're out of the 1) Colgate shaving soap he loves and 2) the dishwashing sponge refiller (the sponges are shaped like flowers and attach to the top of a wand filled with dishsoap). These things can only be found at 1) a little old-fashioned pharmacy in the village and 2) Gristedes. I can tell he'd love to try it, but our time and cash is strapped to the limit on this trip. That means little to no spending pleasure on this go.

I'm getting smarter about my travel, and writing up a list of Things to do before we leave. One of them is to take one of our cats to the doc for a couple shots. We decided we didn't want to leave them to roam wild and free in the house...the way we did last time. That created too much confusion, anger and resentment with our landlords. So, we're doing the right (but oh so expensive) thing this year and shipping their lil furry asses to the pet motel for the full 6 days. Fun.

I finally found the remaining things I needed for the outfit...

Bored stiff, totally

Yes, I'm sure you can tell from my previous post that I'm a lil on the bored side. But seriously, I bought that dress and am looking for alternatives to the accessories that I'm considering. Any ideas, do participate.
Thanks :)

Cutting Caniption

Ok, soon I'm going in for the big chop. The single "Natural African American Hair Care" shop in Cleveland gave me the willies. So, I've decided not to press so much emphasis on where I go to get the bc but when. Right now, my hair is dying to not be inside these braids. My scalp is a tad itchy and I can't contain my excitement when I finger the new growth on my head and it's an inch long! As exciting as it is, it's also frightening....and annoying. I had wanted to have pictures in my digital camera of my *journey* from the braids to the messy tangled nest to the beauty salon for the chop to my own home for the first styling. It's interesting to have that! To be able to show an album that chronicles the afternoon that you were reborn.

Unfortunately, my camera was stolen during a wild and racially motivated attack in Downtown Cleveland. So, I'm sorta waiting with bated breath for my tax return to come around so I can rectify this. Gggrrrr some people are such asses!
