"Love Actually"

Love Actually

I just recently saw this movie the other day. I am a sucker for romantic movies and I'm more of a sucker for accents! They just drive me crazy! This movie has a whole lot of storylines - 8, I think to be exact - about love. The movie also has Alan Rickman - in a nice casual kind of role where he's not the bad guy (almost), Colin Firth who is just gorgeous! and it has Hugh Grant in a role where he is not playing a cad! It also has great looking (and nice-bodied) Liam Neeson - all gorgeous guys! I was probably watching the movie mostly because of the men! But I got that the meaning of the movie (and it said so in the opening scene) is that Love is Actually All Around!

Heat!

About the only kind of heat that I like is the heat of passion (-; The weather is getting so much warmer now and I'm thinking about my hair and I'm thinking about sweating! I hate when I sweat! When the weather gets hot and humid I sweat even more! Sometimes I think that I sweat more because I worry about sweating more! There's this old comedic joke about how black people hate hot weather and I know that this black person hates the hot weather! I'm more of a fall/autumn, wearing a jacket kind of girl. So as the weather is getting warmer and more hotter and more humid I must find ways to keep myself cool!

I Was Supposed To Wash My Hair Today

Had a lot of other stuff to do today so I really didn't get around to doing it. Sometimes I just dread it and put it off as much as I could. But you know what happens when you don't wash your hair? It starts to itch and then it starts to itch real bad! And since I got this "not too happy with it" perm I'm hoping the perm I gave myself will fare better after I wash it! What kind of shampoo do I use? Pantene! It's one of the most expensive shampoos there is but I like the way it smells and it just makes my hair feel clean! When I don't have enough money to buy the Pantene I resort to the Johnson's Baby Shampoo that I can usually get for around 99 cents! But if I can manage it I buy the Pantene which should last me about a month and a half. But for now I have the Pantene - now I just have to wash my hair!

The Hair Thing

Well this wasn't one of my better perms but I'm stuck with it for the next three months. I shouldn't have bought the one on sale. Instead I should have gotten the one that I alwyas do! Well like they say "that's just the way it goes". At least my hair is sweating out with the hot weather so I should be very grateful for that! I have never been one for wearing wigs. They are so hot and even more so in the warmer weather. For now I'll just usually wear my hair in a ponytail or just put on a cap and be on my way! Hope nothing fancy comes up because I don't know what I'll do with my hair then!

A Hairy Subject

I don't like the way my hair sweats out during the warm weather so I perm it. I do it myself as opposed to getting it done because number 1 it'st cheaper and number 2 I just can't sit still. When I do it myself I can do other things besides. If you're not familiar with this process, perming my hair makes it straighter and more manageable so manageable in fact that I can just get out of bed and have the most gorgeous looking hair without having to do anything to it. Plus I can just put it in a pony tail to have a decent-looking hairstyle. I permed my hair today mostly because I have to go to a funeral and I know that its going to be hot. This perm will last me three months so I won't have to worry about it for a while. I have been doing this for many years now and I like the results that I get. I don't go in too much for the "newest" and latest hairstyles because I like the one that I have. I thought about getting a weave but so far I just don't want to go through the hassle and since I never had one before I don't know anything about how to maintain it. The whole process takes me about three hours but the results are worth it and like I said once it's done I don't have to worry too much about my hair for the next 3 months! I'm mostly a tomboy at heart but you should have seen me today with my blow dryer and hot comb. The only time I even use the hair dryer is when I perm my hair. It does make me feel "girly" though - (-; and I think the men like the results too!
