Curly Mo

First blog entry, first thought that came to my head.

Sometimes I feel like the quality of my day is dictated by the quality of my curls.

I know that this statement seems silly, but let me explain. One of my last years of college I found myself on campus one early winter morning for a final. That morning I had hopped in the shower, now I don’t own a hair dryer nor do I have any clue of how to use one, so as usual I walked to school with wet hair. As my hair froze I had a strange realization, I don’t ever want a job that I can’t walk into the office with wet hair.

Now I find myself a professional (or so I’m told), and I still don’t own a hair dryer. Instead every morning if my hair isn’t dry by the time I pull into the parking lot, I put it up and sneak in hoping that no one will notice. There’s the occasional day I don’t put my hair up before I make it to my desk, but usually it’s not till my days off that I can just let my hair do whatever it wants. However cliché it might be, quality curls usually come from “letting my hair down” and that usually coincides a good day.

I'm looking forward to the weekend...

Whateva!

It's the "man" that likes it down. Fight the patriachal power, cut it and give it to the children.
Dang, pipsqueak you're gonna catch cold. Use my secret... Put the heater on full blast in your Ford and by the time you get to work no more frozen curly locks.

as a fellow curly haired gal who refuses to own a hair dryer, i feel your pain. fortunately, mine is so short i can't pull it up... but the quality of my hair can effect the quality of my mood as well. sad, but true.
