July 29...Sorry for My Absence!

Top of the Afternoon to you all,

I'm back with a quick update. I will be attempting to at least make a weekly blog post. I just haven't been able to make a blog post. No computer (and trying to figure out how to get another one) has my mind pre-occupied. Among other things, the new school year is fast approaching and I have some major stuff on my plate for this school year. And I know y'all might be tired of just reading words so I will try to include pictures and talk about stuff that actually matters!! Or stuff that I like (cosmetics, hair, shopping, life).

I will be posting a new 100 in a year list...some of the goals from the original one were unrealistic because of my current financial situation so I will be changing it up a bit (great since we are 7 freaking months into the year!!!). I gotta do something else LOL forgive me. Like I said, I will be restarting my list at the turn of the new year, meaning everything that has been done will be replaced with a new goal. All others that have not been accomplish will just roll over to the new year. And believe me, I've got many ideas of new things I want to do like figure out what to do my Thesis on...honestly. I just want to be done with grad school...I swear I am burned out completely on school. I have been in school since I was 4 years old and I swear I need a freakin mental break!!!

My hair...it's healthy...no I'm not natural nor am I ever going natural. I do not like the texture of my natural hair. Everybody was not blessed to have curly hair or soft textured hair so...as long perms are made...I will be getting them. Kiss my azz...I will not jump on the fad wagon of going natural. Not saying that everybody is following the trend...but I know some people who are chopping off their hair just to be able to say their natural and their hair ain't a bit healthy as them saying it is. I do however, do stretching between relaxers. My last relaxer was June 21 because my bestie got married the day after and I was a bridesmaid so I had to get my hair done. I think I was 22 weeks post relaxer and I got also got my hair trimmed. As of today, I am 5 weeks post and I keep a hair journal. I wash my hair every week to two weeks depending on my schedule. I am seriously considering getting either a sew-in or some type of braids, preferably box braids or Senegalese twists to give my hair some protection and give me a hair break LOL.

My weight...I am currently 256lbs. I lost ten lbs and I am quite proud although I have not been doing anything to contribute to serious weight lost. However, my boyfriend and I are seriously considering joining a gym. He works at a welding plant and I know since he started working there he has lost at least 20-25 lbs. I swear...its noticeable. So I'm like I know I'm not losing weight because I don't do anything, so when I move next month I must figure out some way to work out and change my eating habits. I am seriously sick of fried food and I am on Allrecipes.com looking for new stuff to try.

So that is what is going on Tara's World...any questions, comments, tips and concerns...leave em!! I will answer them.

Blessings all,

TaraBug
