So basically this is day number five I believe. My hair is a trip and a half and has a mind of its own. It's doing it's own thing. Like I'm not even here. But anyway, I was in class yesterday and it's been interesting the comments I get about the new "do". One of my students said I looked like a Jamaican. Another student in my class at Kozminski asked if I was married to a former administrator. Hey, I got kind of excited with that question. I almost never get asked if I'm married. I told them the truth that I wasn't married. Awww~ I saw one of the students that used to be at the high schoool, he tried to rip on me saying, "she looks crazy", I just ignored that boy because he's a little kid, but it didn't really bother me. It just was funny as hell to me.
Thursday night I went to Three Brothers and a Mic poetry Anniversary (3 years), took a minute and a half to get the show started but it was nice, very packed over 20 poets represented, I recited, "Fireflies" in the Open Mic, and that was it. It was a three hour joint. Thus, on Friday when I had to get up to teach I was so tired. But I did do okay with my lessons.
Today, I plan on taking it easy (what?) no real work to be done. I'm taking myself offline for a few days so I can be "me" and relax and work on some things without being drawn in by the internet pressure. See, for me, I have to be online to update blogs, send emails, do research, update my listserve, yada yada yada. It's like so much to do, so little time, but I have five days off from the regular school teaching and I want to take advantage of it.
Anyway, take care and I'll talk with you soon.

I like your new hairstyle. Finding a beautician that you trust to do your hair is so hard. I know I miss my beautician in Dallas.
Thanks Sheila. I was always intimidated to allow someone to style my hair, so it was surprising when I was introduced to Shavon, saw her locks and her children's. She's got an awesome way of dealing with different textures, and keeps it simple by telling me what I need to know to maintain them. I never knew my hair could be this pretty in its natural state. So, it's a win-win situation. And Yes, a good beautician is very HARD to find.
Hey there my true and trusted friend, i should say, most trusted..You looking mighty fine with that do! I can recall having that one but not as pretty. Now I got to deal with the microbraids, but I am a telling you, theylook good to other people so something must be on the up and up! I like that experience you had in class them young boys are c-u-r-i-o-u-s. that's how they are, i do recall. most precious and refined, Diamond!
