Can I change my mind?

Today’s post will only discuss a few things, as opposed to everything that’s occurred since the last post.  I’ll do another post next week with the rest!

So Tierra has experienced a rough couple of weeks.  Last Saturday, she had her 2nd set of shots including rabies.  She became possessed by a demon and scratched skin off of the vet tech as well as herself.  I WAS SO EMBARRASSED! I felt like one of those parents you see at the grocery store and their 3 year old is screaming, biting, and hitting and you're thinking to yourself, "why can't they control that kid? Shoot--that kid wouldn't act like that if I had 'em!".  Yeah---it was like that. 

The only time she's an angel--when she asleep!

This weekend she was spayed.  I asked my coworker if I should give them a warning of her head-rotating tendencies and was told firmly, "NO!"  We dropped her off around 8am and then I picked her up at 3:30.  No complaints or reports of injury!!!  I had to put an e-collar on her to keep her from licking the suture and she ran face first into everything. 

There are treats in here! *nom nom nom*  Wait...where are we going?

Running into the entertainment system.

Learning to eat with plastic around her head.

Trying to clean herself.

Her shaved belly.

My cousin, Tiffany, had a 1st birthday party for her youngest daughter on Saturday night.  After making sure Tierra was comfortable and somewhat fed before she fell asleep, I headed to my aunt's home.  It was good to see the family and celebrate another birthday.

The birthday girl! 

Now to the title of the post, Can I change my mind?  Yeah--my hair is finally at that stage where I want to go back to relaxers.  I'm definitely not going to---I just really, really, really want to.  I washed my hair Friday night with a new product, Hair One (the "generic" of Wen).  I'm not really sure if I notice much of a difference in my hair than if I had co-washed it, but I'll know more after using it a few times. 

If you look extremely close--you may find remnants of a part in my hair.

Right now, the only thing I can do with my hair is toss it in a ponytail. It's really frustrating, because I feel that hair is a woman's crowning glory and I'm am not showing any type of glory right now.  Hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.   I'm taking a trip in a few weeks, so I've made an appointment to have a straw set done a few days before leaving.  It's supposed to be a great transition style, so I'll definitely post pics once it's done.  

Left side:  Flat ironed.  Right side:  NOT.

Daniel and I are baking blondies, so I've got to go.  More updates soon!
