how many months?...

Umm...one month shy of 3 years?...35! Yes...35 months! :-)

I FINALLY got my computer/camera game back together so here is a bantu knot set I did back in January



I wasn't a fan of the style the first day. I almost washed the curls out but they settled.

Ok...a real post is coming :-)

Do I remember how to use this thing?

I thought I would take a minute to share a milestone I finally accomplished...





And SS's ponytail...which CRUSHES mine...

SS

I have been home to see SS and the rest my family a lot since it is the holiday season...but I always manage to leave my camera in my apartment. I dunno...I'm just not good at bringing my camera with me places. But I remembered this weekend!



Mom just read the paper as I snapped away.

Clu: Your hair is getting long
SS: I know...yours will be this long soon
Clu: I know...but isn't it too much for you?
SS: No
Clu: But...erra...umm...I thought you didn't want it to be longer than mid back and then you would cut it
SS: Hmm...its not so bad.
Clu: umm...
SS: Actually I was thinking about cutting it and donating it when it grows out
Clu: But Mom...your hair has to be REALLY long to make a donation
SS: I know... (smiles)

THIS WOMAN IS TAUNTING ME!!!

Starting off 2009 right!

Remember my scruffy little dog? Yeah...you remember! Just scroll down and look at his scruffy little self sitting on my desk at work. Go ahead...I'll wait...

Ok so I have been trying to contact his groomer for the past week but I suppose she is on vacation. (Why is everyone on vacation but me?!? wth?) Looking at poor Nicolay in his scruffy state made me feel bad so I felt that I had to pick up the scissors...

Yes...I groomed my dog myself. I just got scissor happy and before I knew it he was fly again! I just had to lay down some plastic and put him on a tray table so he couldn't get away. Nicolay has the Napoleon complex but luckily he knows his limits and will not jump off of anything high. After the cut he spent a few minutes in the bathtub with some shampoo & conditioner and *BAM*
Nicolay was good as new...

I would like to thank Nick Arrojo and his many makeovers on What Not to Wear where I learned to cut at an angle to avoid choppy cuts. You just saved me 50-70 bucks. Happy New Year!

Now...my hair?!? I NEED a retightening sooo damn bad!!! I am so not over reacting by the way

See...wth?!? I have an appointment next Sunday so hopefully I will have the mental stamina to wash and separate my locks this weekend. I LOVE the fullness of my hair right before a retightening but I hate the way my locks try to get all intimate and become one...

Although my hair is in a shitty state right now...I figure I should put up some pics since I have been locked 2.5 years. Go me! :-)

Happy New Year!

Luckily I finally ended up at a place where Nicolay can join me at the office from time to time. So while the rest of the world is at home relaxing today...Nicolay and I are at work crunching numbers. Nicolay isn't really helpful though...the 10 key seems to confuse him.

(I know he looks scruffy...he is in desperate need of a SERIOUS grooming! Don't call the ASPCA!)

Happy New Year to you and yours!

NYC Winter Fashion

And now...to highlight the stupidest shit I have seen in fashion this winter...

You know these hats right?


http://www.rusclothing.com/imp/ushanka-leather.jpg

I have seen alot of people wearing these. Whatever. NYC winters are very serious and since most people commute via public transportation you have to do whatever you can to stay warm...

BUT...

Dammit...wth?!? Can you explain the purpose of this?!? I saw someone with this hat on one day in the subway and I am pretty sure I stared at his hat until he got off the train. Is it really that hard in the streets?!? Can we just not let go of the fitted and move on to a real winter hat?

Hopefully the red & green hat will not show up under your tree tomorrow...

Random commercials...

This commercial didn't bother me...



but this ones does



I literally blink and just stare every time this commercial comes on...

...the kids in soccer costumes...the Chihuahua...puppets with hips (hips?!? wtf?)...dancing around with rollers in hair...THE CONGA LINE...a m*thafc-kin conga line!!!
