New Do

This afternoon, I did something I haven't done in almost 3
years... I relaxed my hair! Now, that may not sound like a
major thing, but let me tell you. My hair is naturally
curly. Not wavy, not full of body, but kinky, tight, cork-
screw curls that no brush, comb or styling utensil can
penetrate. I mean curly. So, I bought an African Pride,
Super strength relaxer and I went to work. 25 minutes
later, I emerged from the bathroom with WAVY, long hair.
Down the middle of my back, instead of in a tight bun or a
poodle-like mound on the top of my head. No relaxer has
ever been capable of getting my hair perfectly straight,
but I didn't want that anyway. A little body is good.
Snookums was shocked when he got home. I have to admit,
it's quite a change, but one for the better. I've always
thought my hair was pretty, but extremely curly hair is
slightly limiting when it comes to styling possibilities.

I made myself a workout schedule this morning. I made a
Microsoft Spreadsheet of all the exercises I do and I
arranged them in a way that will keep me from getting
bored, but still lets me get in a couple of hours of
exercise a day. I'm trying to vary my routine and work in
some strength training and muscle sculpting, as well. I
can already see the difference. Today, Snookums and I went
to the mall to renew our cell phone contract and I
actually got into a pair of jeans that I haven't worn
since before I was pregnant. And they looked BETTER than
they did before! I was feeling so confident and happy with
the results. There is nothing better than the feeling of
confidence.

I'm exhausted (in a good way). Amanda came over for dinner
tonight and we played some games and watched a little tv.
She left around 10pm, so I'm writing a bit late, thus,
getting to bed a bit late. But, it's nice having a real,
flesh and blood, friend to hang out with. She's fairly
close in age to me (she's 20) and has goals and ambition,
so we get along just swimmingly.

My poor eyelids don't want to be open anymore! Ciao until
I write again.
