As you may understand, I am extremely busy. I feel like I practically have no time to turn in a circle let alone participate my extracurricular activities(i.e. blogging and catching up with my unwatched shows stacking up on my dvr). I can leave without t.v. but I love bloggingg and I really miss it. Imma figure something out...I'm determined.
If u know me at all u know that I hate to keep my hair in styles for long periods of time. I know I could have easily worn my crochet braids for a good two mths but that ain't me lol. I took my 1 mth old crochet braids out on Friday while I was was practically on my way out the door. My hun asked me with a confused face "so we're about to leave?" I responded "yea, this will just take a second" I was making the time estimation up and he knew it lol. To both of ur surprise it really did only take a few minutes. I plan to do put two strand twists in my hair any day now but who knows when I'll actually be able to do it. This week I have two internship interviews(whowhoo), three labs to finish, and a speech to take care of :( So at the moment I'm trying to think of a quick/easy/fabulous way to do my hair for my interviews. Please give suggestions!!! I can afford to do maybe a 20 max style for my interview tomorrow. I know that prettydimples has some quick/fabulous styles but their never easy for me.

Just Thinking
This week was the first week at my new job. It is completely unclear to me what it is exactly that I am supposed to be doing here. I applied here with the hopes of getting a job as a computer assistant, but after coming into the interview I was told that he saw an opportunity to fill another need in their office. Therefore, I know that my position has something to do with database work, potentially training staff, and working on reports. Does that seem vague to you? Well it seems vague to me too. So far all I have done this week is play with software called HyperSnap. I'm hoping it will get better next week.
Today, my mother turns 60 years young. I'm so happy for her and I wish I could celebrate in some special way but ur girl is broke. She's in good health, happy, and always in a bubbly mood. Random but as a child I saw my mother is this abomindal woman. Despite the fact that she serves my father like she's his personal slave she seemed so strong. She got up every morning with my father and stayed busy all day. She is a semstrist and also a Sunday school teacher. She was always tired and falling asleep every time she sat but she never complained. I never saw her shed one tear until I was prolly in college. She was perfect by far but I'm happy she's my mother.
Ok sappy moment is over. I really wanna check out Chris Rocks Good Hair doc. I will prolly end up going to the movies by myself but I'm fine with that.
Have a good wknd everyone.

I'm really starting to think I have an issue
I swear to you if it not one issue it is truly another. Some of you know that I have been battling with my allergies all of my life. As far as I know these allergies include both outdoor and food. I have been faithfully taking a number of supplements to attempt to build up my immune system. Despite these efforts, I feel as though I have hit rock bottom. My body started to act as if I was sick, but in my mind I wasn't convinced. Once or twice I thought I might even had swine flu. Last Monday I decided to eat Salmon which is one of the few types of fish I know I'm not allergic to....SURPRISE had a bad reaction. I pulled out two different kinds of Benedryl and took double doses SURPRISE it didn't help much. Over the last few years, I've noticed that when I have allergic reactions my breathing gets out of my control and is a lot worse than when I was a child. So I curled up in a ball and tried to take a nap be for I marched off to work that night. Thankfully, my lungs cleared a little, but I didn't feel right. Issue over...nope. I went to the gym last Wed(I've been on a 2 wk hiatus) and within the first 5 min on the elliptical I was completely and utterly out of breath. This didn't even happen to me my first time back in the gym after a 2+ yr gap. I left immediately and couldn't catch my breathe until I made it all the way one. Then this Tuesday I was merely walking up one flight of stairs and boom couldn't breathe. I also have developed a nasty cough.
After a long debate and a horrible breathless night a work I went to the hospital. I received three breathing treatment and was given 60mg of Prednizone. I was told I seemed to be asthmatic and have been suffering from a broncospasm. The coughing was caused by this as well. So I could now breath but the steroid did not take well with me. I felt as if my heart was beating out of control and I was extremely nervous. The nurse assured me that it is a normal reaction to the drug. Even still, I'd rather not experience it again. Then when I arrived home boom insomnia hit me like a hard brick and my body tingled uncontrollably. This continued into the next day. Not ever again.
I now have a personal project. I am looking for a list of supplements I can take on a daily basis that will counteract my allergies and asthma issue. Currently, I'm taking Nature Bounty woman's multi, vitamin C, B-12, acidophilus, flax oil, and Allegra 180 mg. I am probably going to only keep the acidophilus and flax oil in my regime and add too those two. I would like to assemble a detox to rebuild my entire immune system. I'm convinced the FDA is working their hardest to weakened and kill us off.

Weekend Cap
I hope everyone had a great wknd...I know I did. Recently, I've been mentioning that trouble has been arising with my honey. Either I'm going crazy or he is really turning around. Some feel I'm wasting time and money by going out my way to visit him every wknd and I admit sometimes I feel like that. Other times I keep reminding myself that he is still one the first best friends I've ever had and I truly enjoy spending time with him. Our lifetimes are limited and heck we only live once.
With that being said I was damn near surprised how smooth my wknd went. Over a month ago I decided that I would take my friends suggestions and play games with the boy's mind. I hate playing games, but its working so I ain't complaining. One evident fault that I continuously see ppl make is going back on their word. It may seem small at times, but my model is "if your not really going to do it don't waste ur breath saying it." It results in disappointment and the ppl ur trying to prove a point to stop taking u seriously. I'm trying my best to keep this thought in my mind becuz right at this point several ppl in my life are hitting a wall face first(repetitively). My question for them is "for what?" If you just want to have fun, then u wouldn't even let words come out ur mouth like "I'm calling the police if you don't leave" and then the next day ur having sex with the person in the house u told them to leave. This may seem like common sense to u, but in the heat of the moment ppl really have difficulty with these things.
Anyways my point is I made straight forward restrictions for myself and I've stuck with them. In return, me and my honey had several nice conversations this wknd. He was able to open up about a lot of things that have been hard for him for so many years. He was more compassionate and understanding than he usually is. And we listened to each other. He's starting to notice that I do have other options, so he needs to either step up or step out.
As I was on my way to work this morning, FB statuses notified me that the weather is not looking to hot in the Chicagoland and NW Indiana area. Of course, my family didn't call to let me know if they were taking precautions or anything. My mother was still knocked out when I called and didn't have any clue that a storm is coming. Go figure.

Sorry for the Delay
Hey Hey Hey
I feel like I have posted in forever. I will not make a habit of it. No matter how busy I am I should be able to take 5 minutes to make a post every now and then. I've been busy with school and applying for internships for the summer. School is going well, but the internships not so much.
I haven't even had time to wash my freaking hair. Yea, I know some ppl think its nasty, but when I was relaxed I always waited 3 weeks before I washed my hair. I even dc'd the other night(with my castor oil) without washing first. Last night, I french braided my hair and today I'll be doing the crochet braids that I've been talking about forever. I plan on keeping them for at least 3 weeks, so I prolly should have clarified and washed my hair first but o well. Don't think I'm gross lol. I made sure that I rinsed my hair very well in the shower. I'll post pics of the crochet braid process hopefully tomorrow.
My hair has been growing like a weed and I love it. I have about 1+ inches of new growth from when I attempted to color my hair in July. Also, over the course of the week I've been noticing how much my hair texture seems to be changing. Don't get me wrong I think it possible, but I honestly don't think my texture is changing. I do think however that as my hair is getting longing it is getting heavier and pulling more on my curls causing my curls to look looser. It was harder to detangle, but it I love new look.
Have a good weekend everyone. I plan to spend the how time studying and chilling on the couch. :)
