Memorial Day

Here it is Memorial day The day set aside to honor our fallen heros, and remember the price that was paid for our freedoom. My Dad told a story in church on sunday about a guy he had been good friends with back in highschool, and how he had (through some baseball thing) inspired Dad to carry a black comb with him everywhere, and then his friend died in Vietnam. He was a door gunner, and got killed. Dad went to "The Wall" iin '99 and found his friends name, and laid a black comb at he foot of the wall.

I always thought he carried the comb cause it was Army issue, but then i would wonder why he really needed it since he hardly let hisI hair grow. Now i know.

Its a day to remember for me, 7 years ago, I was Raped. On this very day.Wow .. now im married, happily so, and i have two adorable kids, and it doesnt hurt so much, I can remember little details like it was yesterday, and yet, it still seems like a dream. But like i said, things are much improved these days, Life sucks, but it does get better if we let it. :)

Update

Well, life got crazy for everyone. Updating a hair blog didn’t seem very important, but as we stand and look forward at what is sure to be an even more bizarre year end, I find the need to be thinking about something frivolous and fun. I’ve had some serious health issues lately that are still working themselves out, so I really just needed a pick me up. Who doesn’t? So here are some pics, my hair is crazy curly these days, and recently I even cut it, by myself, after doing some online reading about how to do it, and I LOVE my hair right now! It’s so bouncy and light and off my neck!  My last hair appointment before the quarantine shut down.  Got pneumonia had to go to ER for Covid tests and all the fun stuff. Thankfully it was quickly fixed with antibiotics  I am trying to grow out my grey and embrace the “sparkle” but, it’s hard without a good colorist, or cut, so I made it through the shut down with manic panic ultra violet. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 4th of July, didn’t go anywhere of ...

Why my phone is part of my life......

Yup, I admit it, I am one of those. One of those people who cannot put down my phone. I am one who needs to be told "it's not phone time now" or "we are doing real time here, face to face, no phone" I used to deny it, (sometimes I still do) I used to feel bad about it, (sometimes I still do), but you know what? Deep down, the real me, the rational me, says, 'Yup, thats me, and that's ok!" You want to know why? I am an introvert, through and through. I have anxiety and battle depression. It's part of who I am and knit into me, and I will be dealing with it my entire life. The Deal here is, find ways to live a meaningful life around all that. This is where my phone comes into play. I am not ant-social, I love hanging with my BFFs as much as the next guy, but I don't have that many really, I don't have a need to gather a whole gaggle of besties to surround me at all times, I like to have a few solids, that I can go to, no matter what...
