My Weave

I have naturally curly hair.  I feel as though this is a blessing and a curse. 

Blessing = it is extremely easy and allows to get out of the door within minutes of getting out of the shower
Curse = sometimes my hair looks flat, sometimes frizzy, sometimes crunchy with gel...and because of the ease I rarely want to straighten my hair which is how I prefer it

A funny thing about my hair.  It was very curly when I was little (like until the age of 2 or 3).  Then my dear mother started taking me to this horrible hairdresser who proceeded to give me a boy haircut (another story, maybe with pics sometime)!  Anyway, I always had to straighten it as I thought it was just frizzy.  I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I didn't find out that it was actually curly enough to wear it that way until I was 20 years old!!  WHAT?!  Yep!  It took me going to backpack in Europe without a hair dryer for me to realize that I had curly hair!  Thank goodness Casey was there to introduce me to the correct hair products!  (That trip was AMAZING!!)

I digress.  Over the years, my hair has been given several terms of endearment...my weave, the dreads, doo doo curls.  Well, last night as I was getting ready for bed I hear Kevin talking to me from the bedroom.

Kevin: "What's this?"
(I peek into the room and see Kevin "holding" something in between his fingers, but I can't see anything.)
Me: "What's what?"
Kevin, looking between his fingers: "Oh, I thought that I had found a little bug on your pillow."
Me: "WHAT?!"
Kevin: "I don't know, maybe it crawled out of your weave."

Awesome!  Thanks honey :)  I mean, the dreads don't always look good...but they are ALWAYS clean!  I swear that I don't have a bug infestation crawling around in my hair! 

So, I will give you a visual now that you are SO anxious to see my weave in all it's glory!

This is a side view to give the "full" picture.  Also, please note that I am WAY more excited about the pony than I should be....Reese could care less :)
