Today, my heart is burdened


Confused
Hurt
Empty
Anxious
Lost
Unsettled
Sad
Guilty
Tearful
Bereaved
Troubled
Numb
Heartbroken

A sixth grader at my school committed suicide last night. She was eleven.

Rest in peace baby girl.

Early morning babble

It's 4 am and I can't sleep.
I hate this.
I hate those nights I watch so much darn television or play around on the internet so long that I can't fall sleep.
I have a headache.
I'm sitting in my living room half watching a Law & Order rerun that I'm sure I've seen 100 times.
I've moved from scoping furniture on every department store website to shopping for hair care products.
Ok, I really have to do something about my hair.
End of the year stress took a serious toll, coupled with my laissez-faire attitude about upkeep, I've ended up with hair looking like who shot john and why they ain't kill em. (Belizeans know about John)
It's dry.
It's brittle.
It's breaking.
It's broken!
I have to do something about it ASAP!
I discovered a video blog on YouTube called Scandalous Beauty.
The blogger documents her natural hair journey.
I've been natural for 8.5 years.
I'm so glad I found the video because she offers so many tips on how to hydrate natural hair.
She also offers PRODUCT recommendations!
I love products and I love trying out new products.
While searching for the items SB recommends, I discovered iHerb.
It's an online health store.
All of the oils and shampoos SB recommends are available at iHerb, so of course I created an account.
Too bad they don't have a full online community.
I love social networking sites.
NOTE TO SELF: STOP joining social networking sites.
I've already filled up a basket on iHerb with $40+ worth of organic shampoos, conditioners and oils.
Hopefully, I'll have better luck with these products.
While I don't want to spend the money without more than a video blog rec, I have to do something.
I tried Carol's Daughter last year and $75 later, NADA!
These products are natural, organic, blah, blah blah.
Shit better work.
I'm buying everything right on down to prenatal vitamins to aid my cause.
So not pregnant!
We shall see.
Must rest now.

V-Day


Usually, I hate this day, but not so much this year and not for any particular reason other than I'm just feeling good.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Say it ain't so...

I like celeb gossip as much as the next person, but this just makes me ill. We don't yet know all of the details, but I'm hoping for the best. This just
