Install done, 11th month, piggy

I just finished Miss A's hair!!! YAY!!

Another beautiful sister has been added to the fam!!  Not sure how many hours total..will have to add it up...but that's not important right now!

She has started her journey! That's what's important!

Today marks my 11th month locked-up!! WOW! It'll be a year May 31!

Times flies when you are lovin' your locks!! ; )

Hmmm..what else...?

I have a retightening for Client # 2 on Saturday...Miss E next Monday...they are keeping me busy!!!

Still watching the reports about the piggy flu!...ughhh...tryin' to ruin my cruise plans!

No More Bundles For Me!!!!!

When I saw Miss Blenna in Charlotte, she said I did not have to braid/bundle any more when I wash...well, still in the front because my hair doesn't like to stay in the locks there!

So, I washed my hair for the first time last nite without bundling the back! It was SO weird! It felt like...I don't really know...it was just weird. I am kinda scared that maybe my hair is really not ready or not stable enough...now, I am sure Miss Blenna knows what she's talking about, but I just don't know~....It almost made me feel more comfortable bundling! Here's an after shot (yes, I was sleepy!):

Who'dathought I would WANT to bundle!?!?!?

Swine Flu!?!?! WHAT!?!?!?

uh...this really needs to go away!

QUICKLY!

i have a cruise schedule for May that stops in Cozumel, MEXICO!!!!!

yeah, there have been no cases in Cozumel yet, but, er, uh....

what am i gonna do!!!???!?!!

Miss A's Install - Start date: 23APR09

I started my (play-play) sister's install last nite! YAY!! I'll update as we go...we have a lot going on this week/weekend (work, funeral, bowling, baby shower, church, etc...), but we wanted to go ahead and get started anyway - need the new do b4 we go on our cruise!!

Day 1

Sisterlocks Refresher Training!

I attended the training class again this as a refresher student! OMG! I am so glad I made that decision!! Since I have done about 5 heads of locks, I had some 'REAL' questions this time around and I got them all answered! ...I think! I'll be going back again within the next 12 months! I wanna be the best consultant as possible for my clients!! ; ) If you have attended the training once, I definitely suggest attending again, and again and again!! There were ladies in the class who had taken the class 5 years ago and had several clients; they learned stuff!!! SO, I know I'll be back!

30th Birthday - April 5, 2009

So on my birthday, I was finishing up a client!! Miss L!!

My sister surprised me and had a brunch for me at the house! I am sitting there just lockin' away and people just kept ringing the doorbell and strolling in!...and my client was in on it!!! It was pretty cool!! Even though I was working (not such a bad thing!), I did have a lil' gathering at the house!

I hear life begins at 30, but as I was looking online, I came across this:

So I wonder...is it 30 or 50!?!! If it's really 50, then what is going to happen between 30 and 50. Has life not really begun?
The quote on this mug is not too encouraging either!
But you know what, regardless of what anyone says..for me, LIFE BEGINS @ 30! That's what I am going to believe! Even better than believing, I am gonna make it happen! I can't wait to see what 30 has in store for me! Plenty I'm sure! The 20's were very interesting - full of good, bad, blessings, discouragements - some of everything! hopefully most of the 'good stuff' for the 30's!!! ; )
