<\/p>\n
This morning I wrote a blog about communication and just how overrated it really is.<\/strong> This afternoon, my link to the outside world left at the office (aka home), I venture out with my 3 Chiclets and a girlfriend to get our hair done. It\u2019s my youngest daughter\u2019s 11th<\/sup> birthday.<\/p>\nWe aren\u2019t visiting just any hairdresser, we are getting our hair done Bo Derek style; corn rows. <\/strong>This is quite an adventure, especially for a 40 something woman. Yes I have grey hair, due for a little \u2018enhancement\u2019. Having your hair pulled back like it\u2019s caught between elevator doors, a few crow\u2019s feet and a pasty white face; you have a visual that is so not Bo Derek. More like a desperate housewife but the real kind.<\/p>\nNow this process will take a long time, so I justify bringing my computer to type up a few blogs<\/strong>. It\u2019s really busy in here. To my surprise it\u2019s mostly guys getting their hair gelled, teased and dreadlocked. I never thought guys would spend so much time on their hair. When you see someone, a guy, with dreadlocks, and they look so cool and earthy, you think the style is natural. Believe me it is not natural. It\u2019s actually a really un-cool experience.\u00a0 Picture a guy with pig tails. Little Bo Peep or Cindy Lou Hoo come to mind.<\/p>\nAnyway, we are having a blast. Thy kids look great with corn rows, their mom does not<\/strong>. \u00a0It\u2019s great to be present and communicate without electronic devices. I must admit, I don\u2019t know what to do with my hands. \u00a0I have kicked the habit, at least for today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This morning I wrote a blog about communication and just how overrated it really is.
