New Years “Resolutions”

1. I am trying not to spend money in January at all (no take away food, no fun extras, etc.. just food/bills) and really cut back after that. I like to buy stuff, but I think we can do without so much stuff.

2. I’d like to lose a bit of weight.

3. I’d like to move a little faster with my apprenticeship – it’s been left by the wayside the last few months due to other house-type things that needed to be done. I’d like to be working on real live people sometime next year.

4. I’d like to stick to my raw diet a little better (see #2). I’m aiming for a constant 80/20.

5. I’d like to keep my home cleaner (though I do know a clean home is not nec. a happy home)

6. I am sure there is more, but those are the really big ones that spring to mind.

Dor got his ears pierced today!


He’s ready


He’s got a dot


Mal wanted to watch


Michael was still across the room during this shot


Blowing out right before the needle went in


and it’s in. Whew!


The second one going in


The deed is done. He is happy.


If you ever wondered what *I* looked like from the back in my youth, here is a good facsimile.

View the entire album here – but I posted the good shots

So, my son was very … delicate before. He is outright feminine now. I hope he doesn’t get shit for it. I think he rocks, I just think it’s a shame I cloned him.

Dreads, week 3

I washed all the wax out, I am using this lock & twist gel product. It’s got coconut milk and stuff in it… it’s not quite like jello, but it’s a similar consistency lol I like it, it’s not flaky or sticky or anything and doesn’t attract gunk to my hair.

I actually want to order some of this, but I think I’ll wait till I use more of the jar of stuff I got just last week. I’ve ordered that brand from Sephora before and I liked it, tho not that product.

All in all, I am super happy with my hair and cannot wait to see where it is a year from now.

Oh, some people asked. I have 68 dreads.

Happy Is as Happy Does

The Happy-Thing-A-Day Meme. I got tagged by Diana. I am not tagging anyone else, but feel free to join in the happy fest :-)

1. Post about something that made you happy today, even if it’s just a small thing.
2. Do this every day for a week without fail.
3. Tag 8 of your friends to do the same.

Yah… I don’t blog every day, so if I forget, forgive me.

Today I am happy that my kids slept past 6 AM. All the way to 7.30. They were up to 10 or 10.30 last night. I thought kids slept a lot?
