Thousands of birds falling dead out of the sky....Hundreds of thousands of fish dead?!?

I'm sure you all are up to date by now about the freaky occurrences of the US that are now spreading to other parts of the world. For those who have not heard yet, on New Years eve thousands of birds started falling dead out of the sky in Beebe, Arkansas. Many folks of the small Town awoke only to find their lawns and streets covers with dead birds.


A few days before over 100,000 Fish washed up dead in Arkansas.

Then on Monday More dead birds began to fall in Louisiana. It brought the number to over 5,000 birds. Then today the news has reported that on Tuesday over 500 Black birds fell dead in Sweden.
Crazy right? The craziest thing is all the birds seeming have all died from the same thing, some sort of blunt trauma. They all have massive damages to their eaks, wings, liver and heart as if they collided with something midair or that something hit them.




I want to know, What do you all think is going on?

What Happened to my bloglist?!?

Soooo my entire blog list has disappeared from my blog somehow. What the heck. I was looking into a new template and playing around with it but I didn't apply or save anything. Now I'm looking on my page and my entire blog list is gone. Does anyone know what happened or how to get it back. Will I have to create it all over again? Sadly aside from a handful of blogs that I frequent and who frequently update I don't remember all that I had on the list. Help!

Fantasising about an unearned reality.

Sometimes I wish Life was easy and came with all the answers you know. That it was already laid out for you and all you had to do was live. Everything in life that was for you would come to you naturally without work. Things wouldn't be so hurtful, sadness would never come, pain would be an alternate reality. But I guess there in lies my fantasy. I stare at this picture and although I am no longer a little girl, I find myself still doing the same thing. Staring into a mirror and imagining who I will be when I grow up. Yet am I not grown? Is this not my future? Am I the woman that little girl thought she would be those years ago?

reflections

Well its that time of year again. Preparing to close another chapter in my life entitled 2010. It has been an interesting one I will definitely say that. I've grown to become very comfortable in this city I'm in. Developed some really wonderful friendships that I hope will last a lifetime. throughout this year though I have had many experiences that have broken me, hurt me, strengthened me, excited me, brought me immeasurable joy and lots of peace. I thankful that God has allowed everything He did into my life this past year. Its hard at times but I know He is molding me and shaping me. One day I will be a finished product, right now though I'm chipped ill formed, mispositioned and soggy (lol). To be finished though I know I'll have to continue to push and one day face the furnace called life. No worries though because I know that I'll be a lot stronger once on the other side.

Stylze

So what have me and my hair been up to? Lets fill you in

My locks are growing like crazy now that I have colored it is a lot easier to note the change in length each month by the line of demarcation of color to dark.

My hair doesn't curl nearly as easily and when I do get it to curl afters hours- a day of having it in curlers it falls flat in no time, so I have not been using my lock loops or bantu knot sets lately.

I can get my hair into one ponytail and have it not look too stingy, or at least bearable LOL Yay!!!!!! BIg accomplishment especially on those days when spending time on my hair is just not an option.

I have been experimenting on styles a little. Something to spice up my locks and bring new life into our relationship. I find I'm favoring the pin up styles more and more lately and more tussled appearance to set of evenings out works really well with my length the way it is now.

I do still to the braid out but not as much as I used to. I find myself free styling a lot more now, mainly because of my length and the natural bounce my hair has it just doesn't look as bad to freestyle as it once did at my shorter length.

I'm still in search of a consultant in the central florida area that I can go to when I just dont feel like doing my hair.

I change my reti schedule from every 3 weeks- front one week-end then back the next to and every 4-5 weeks entire head or split, which just did not work for me. My hair grew out too much in that time and it just took way too much time to complete my retis, time which I just did not have. It didn't look horrible but my hair also didn't look that great at the 5 week mark either. Definitely not the tapered look I'd gotten myself accustomed to. ;-) So I'm back on a 3 week half and half schedule, it works for me.

I definitely don't obsess over my locks anymore, well at least not as much as before lol. I've kinda just been allowing them to do their own thing, but I guess that's just natural now that my ends are completely sealed I really don't have as much to worry about. I wash them when I want, style them how I want or just leave them alone and it all works out the same.

The only thing is now that I've colored, I realized that i need some new type of conditioning treatment or something to restore the moisture balance to my hair especially to my ends. Anyone have any suggestions?

New landmark revisited, its awesome to have my hair tickle my neck, shoulder and face and freak out because I think something is crawling on me, only to realize that its my hair at its new length. :-)

I'm still totally in love with my SIsterlocks. Every new stage brings new life and a new quest to learn how to manage this hair of mine.

Year 1 of Chiropractic school FINISHED!!!

WooooHoooo. Last Thursday marked the completion of my first full year of chiropractic school. I am so thankful to God for keeping me and showing me favor throughout this year. My program is very challenging and time consuming hence my absence from the blogging world, but I loved every moment of it. Every quarter filled with new and interesting facts, experiences and knowledge that just excites me more and more about my soon to be profession. The holistic, caring and patient centered approach to health care that chiropractic presents is just so amazing and I just can't wait to finish and be amongst some of the finest physicians in health care! ;-)

TRYING TO GET BACK ON TRACK

Hey all so sorry for my delayed absence but I'm trying to get back on track. Ok so from the pics below I tried coloring with Clairol textures and tones but I also attempted to lift my hair with Clairol's professional basic white, now I wasn't sure if i was suppose to lift, rinse it all out and then mix the Clairol box color as is so I decided to mix the hair die with the basic white lifting stuff just to be on the safe side of not double bleaching my hair. When the color was in it looked great I loved it and I made sure to do my hair line last because I've been told that takes the fastest. So i let it sit the allotted time then 5 minutes before I was to wash it out I wrapped my head with a plastic bag ( had to make do I didn't have any plastic wrap or a shower cap) and I put the blow dryer on it to really speed up the process and to try and make the color seal a little bit more. The mistake I think I made is that I started to rub my hair but I should have just let the heat penetrate on it own. When I washed it all out none of the color was on my hair and my hair was a bright orange. Oh my goodness talk about nightmare. I calle dmy firends screaming My HAir My Hair My haaaaaiiirrrr!!!! Hence my blog entry a little while ago lol. The next day although it was still very bright it had toned down a notch and I received a lot of compliments which made me feel a lot better about my hair mishap. My friends loved it and didnt see what I was freaking out about, they said the bright color really looked nice and those areas where it didnt take as brightly just made it look like a more natural color and like i had natural highlights. The topping on the cake, I was in Walmart and this girl comes from across the aisle and stops me to ask me where I got my hair done when I told her they were Sisterlocks and that I colored them myself she asked if she could get my number so I could do hers LOL I was like ma'am, you just dont know the drama I went through to accomplish this lucky mistake, unless u wanna go bald I dont think thats a good idea lol. All in all I may not have done it right but it turned out well. The color kept darkening day by day now its more brown than red or orange, a much calmer color and I definitely have started appreciating it. I'm glad too becaus emy roots have started to grow out already and I couldn't imagine what it would look like with a brighter contrast, yuk. Anywoo I'm definitely loving my locks more than ever.

Now I'm just trying to find a product to use to moisturize my locks, it been almost a year and a half and all I've been using is was and an occational EO mix but I feel with the color My locks definitely need a little more TLC to keep them moist and soft. They were a little stiff at first but now they are back to being bouncy and they are still pretty soft. Any suggestions?

Update

My Ponytail is getting up there :-)

Update

Hello everyone, Life has been so hectic for me blogging became just a distant memory but not to worry even thought I was not blogging I was definitely taking pictures. My hair has grown a lot I think and it was very healthy. For the past 3-4 months I've just been in need of a change so I started on the coloring binge. I started with a rinse which did not take and then went to henna which was a lot of work and still did not take then I resorted to a do at home permanent color which also failed. At this point I was totally over trying to color my hair myself. But this morning I said to myself, self, give it one more go. It became very obvious that my hair is too dark and in order to achieve any type of color that I want I have to lift the color. So that is what I did. I bought some Clairol products, texture and tones dye and the BW lifting agent and went to work. OOOOMMMMGGGGG I do not recommend this to anyone. My hair my hair my hair. What have I done?!?!?!?!?! Some parts of it are orange some parts are brown and light brown ohhh just one big mess. Surprisingly though I'm not upset. I think its because I knew the risk I was taking before I opened the box. SIghhhhhh another hair mistake. I will post pics soon.

My Hair, My Hair, May Hair!!!!!!!!!!

What have I done?!??!?!?!? AhHHHHhhhHHhHHh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
