Committing and Tagging...

So...Today is a rough day. Headaches, bills, etc, etc, etc. But I was driving along, and noticed this car had a McCain/Palin sticker on the back of the window. Well, hell, this is South Carolina and McCain will most likely get South Carolina's eight wack-ass electoral votes, so this not a unfamiliar sight. Maybe down pass Columbia and the low parts of the state but definitely not here.

But look closely....the bumper sticker is attached on with TAPE from the inside of the window as if this driver might change their minds. Are you committed or what? Why is not on the outside, pasted on with the ready made adhesive like the others. Are you going to take off after November 4th? Then if not...commit to sticking it on the outside of the window!!! lol!

Get out and vote folks...for somebody.Hope to have to video footage of election day down here in the sticks for ya'll.

As for my hometown, We have a Mayoral Write-In race that has about 15 people running in it. I'm writing....NONE THE ABOVE AND NONE OF THE WRITE INS EITHER.

now on the tagging:

Here's the rules: Each player answers the question themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve answered the questions on your blog.

Nailed Down....

I finally got it nailed down...my hair regimen!! After about a month of research...I figured out what is going work for me to obtain healthy....(pause) long hair.:)

First, I set my goals:

1) work on the health and thickness of my hair

2) obtain healthy hair( no breakage!)

3) shoulder length, all the way around by May 2009, then push for Bra strap length for my 1st "hair-versary" (9/11/09)

So with that set, I got my plan of action, that so far, since September 11, 2008 has been working!

Shampoo(2x a week)(Tuesday and Saturday)

Pre-poo( 2x a week)

Deep Conditioner w/ heat( 2x a week)

Air-dry(99% of the time)

Co-Wash(1x a week)

Protein Treatment( 1x every two weeks)

Relaxer( 10-12 weeks)( currently 10/28/08...week 8)

Clarify( 1x a month)

Moisturize and Seal in sections (2x a day)

Dust every relaxer or when needed( since I'm fighting much breakage)

Drink plenty of water

Take supplements daily( currently Biotin, a multi-v,garlic...adding MSM soon.)

Protective Styles all the time!!!

I'm pretty sure I can reach my goals with my hair. I set goals when I wanted to strengthen and grow my nails and clear up my face and they worked. It just takes consistency and faith! I've never, ever have had long hair in my life. Even as a little girl, my hair was considered short in standards to my cousins and school mates. I've worn my hair natural, short, bald, braids, weaves, you name it( except color..I've only colored my hair twice in my whole life...). So I right now, I'm trying to make it work relaxed and healthy and by the looks of hair communities like K.I.S.S and Hairlista, it can happen!
