instead of doing my education homework & studying for my finals, i taught myself how to french braid my hair properly & proceeded to take several self-portraits. all whilst listening to sinatra.
i think i know what i'm going to end up choosing.

. . . never heal, my heart's Still Broken
When will this feeling ever go away? I feel like I've been broken for years. I just keep reaching and reaching, but never ever grabbing anything. Feeling like no one could ever love you is a horrible feeling and I wish it would go away. I just feel like no one things I'm good enough. After all, who would want a divorced mom when we are this young? *sigh* I don't know, I know I'm probably looking at it the worst possible way, but I can't help it sometimes. I need something possitive to happen here. . . Maybe it will come tomorrow. lol
Day 32 : A picture of your most treasured item.
Random Fact : The word "toast,"meaning a wish of good health, started in ancient Rome, where a piece of toasted bread was dropped into wine.
The french braid I did today was decent because it's hard to braid so tightly when my hair is heavily oiled.
I started babysitting these girls when I was 11 years old, when the youngest was only a toddler. We took this photo in the yard between our houses, 13 years later, as they were about to move away.
For CWD (Old time photos) and GTWL (Beatles lyrics).
And in case you were wondering about my Valentine's Day (admit it...you know you were), it did NOT involve anything of an actual Valentine's nature. It DID involve copious amounts of alcohol, old school video games at Barcade, talking to a bunch of weirdos, some falling down in the street (not me), and a lot of laughing (me). I met one kind of cute boy and two pretty cute girls. But in protest against the Hallmark nature of this holiday, i went home with none of them. Valentine's Day is for suckers.
Oh yeah. Hhnsifowm! (Does a slip count as half naked if you aren't wearing underthings? i say it does.)
Question: should i crop this so there's not so much window at the top? i feel like it's too tall and narrow, but i worry about it being too bright if i crop. Thoughts?
Made Explore--highest at #139.
So busy with my son and job lately. Just something a little different, front hair puffed and a french braid.
My first french braid after coming back from India. Had an great time seeing all the women there with amazing long hair. For my best fans...chotlo, djh8123, poojashah497!!
Spun Sugar wearing a comfy but chic tropical print dress and dutch braids. She's my "travel" doll for the Legendary IT convention. She traveled all the way from the office to the living room! She will also be my drinking buddy..... boy that sounds sad. haha!
But no, I have my dog to drink with. She don't drink though.
It reminds me a lot of the late 80's and 90's Indian weddings and events when many women wore their hair like this. Very pretty even though I don't have the decorative pins women used to put up and down the braid.
I like doing a french braid ponytail because it allows me to do a braid and still show the length of my hair.
A salon needed a hair model for demonstrating coloring techniques so I volunteered. Afterwards, I asked the hairstylist to french braid my hair and here is the result. She did such a wonderful job!
I had a dream last night
That we lost the fight
I had a reason to stay in the back of my head
Still, I have to say goodbye
Here, in this bed
Free
You are free
Free
You are free
You oughta lay down low
Covered in packs of snow
Lay down low
Covered in packs of snow
Your hands they know
We're nearing the end
Free
You are free
Free
You are free
Stop telling me the right way to go
I'm on my own
You're selling our old ways
Stop telling me the right way to go
You are free
You are free
Living things need to be free
You are free
Like everything wants to be
-Mates of State
Cory and I saw Mates of State last night (the tickets were my birthday gift... I've had to wait for months!). This is in honor of one of my favorite songs of theirs...
I started babysitting these girls when I was 11 years old, when the youngest was only a toddler. We took this photo in the yard between our houses, 13 years later, as they were about to move away.
After seeing my hair up in so many different ways, my husband never tires of seeing me with these styles. I keep telling him most men would rather see their wives with long, freeflowing hair but he disagrees.
But it does show the many sections of the braid. Been a while since I've braided my hair this tight.
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms throughout the flickrverse. I hope it's been a good one and that your kids behaved better then normal. lol My day got a jump start at 7:45 with a call from my boss asking where I was. . . apparently I was scheduled for brunch today, not dinner. . . WHOOPS! So I started crying because I didn't have a way to get to work. . . So someone came and got me. . . it was embarassing. The day didn't get much better after that. I had to work 2 parties with another server and I did almost ALL the work and still had to tip her 1/2 of the tips from those 2 parties.. . bullshit if you ask me. She probably only earned 5 bucks, but I had to give her $40. Grrrrrr. And it was Mother's Day Brunch at Market Street, one of the most bussy days of the year for us. . . which isn't good for anyone. lol I have to convince myself on a regular basis that everything will be ok, but some days are harder to believe it then others.
*sigh*
Random Fact : I actually made dinner for me and Leilani tonight. I haven't made an actual meal for the two of us to sit down and eat in a while. It's usually just stuff for her to eat since I eat at work. . . it was kind of nice. But I have a ton of left overs now. . .
