almost there

I started putting in my dreads last night. Well, to be more accurate, I put my hair in sections last night to prepare them for dreads today. So far the sectioning was the worst part. Imagine trying to put all of your hair into little pony tails all about a square inch, on a round head. Not the easiest thing to do, especially by yourself. It took me 5 1/2 hours with minimal help from my loving husband. In his defense he doesn't have a clue what to do with hair. He has never had to so much as part hair (and when he tries with Harmony it's a disaster), so to expect that he would be any help at all was moronic on my part. But, he did help with a couple tough areas and for that I am grateful.

Anywho, that pain in the ass over I started a new pain in the ass today. Or rather pain in the neck, arms, hands and scalp. It really isn't that bad. I bought a dreading kit on DreadHeadHQ.com and it along with their directions have made it alot easier than it could have been. Actually, I don't think I would have even attempted it without that site. So I have about 2/3rds done already and my friend Mel was going to come over after work to help finish them, but she has a horse show tomorrow and has to get up at 5:30am. I didn't want to be the one to make her late or tired in the morning so I'm going to try and finish them myself. Plus it'll be a great feeling of accomplishment to know I did it all myself. I do have her on call for tomorrow afternoon in case my arms fall off though. For now I'm taking a much needed break and I think I'll go take some asprin and perhaps do some yoga. I think that would help. The next time any of you see me, I'll look like Medusa. Pretty extreme for a Halloween costume, but damn it, I'm going to win this year! Peace out in the hood ya'll!
