Hair Hair Hair

I was sooooo excited to wash my hair tonight. Ridiculously excited!

I had to mail a letter yesterday, so while I was at the drug store, I bought a Wet Brush detangler, a Goody wide tooth comb and a Wet Brush regular paddle detangler (that also came recommended for curly hair). PLUS  Herbal Essences curl defining sulfate free conditioner. I was pretty jazzed because the cashier knew what I was talking about when I told her I was giving the curly girl/guy method a try. It looks like next on my shopping list is a bonnet for sleeping or a satin pillow case since other materials can be hard on curly hair. My hair is too short to pineapple (put in a ponytail at the top). Yes, this method comes with all sorts of ridiculous word usage too :-D Hah! I cannot believe curls are happening. It's weird and exciting to find out at this age that your body can still surprise you in a good way ;-D

Workity Work

Working from home has it’s charms—good or bad. My birds decided to lose their minds during a tech support call while I was trying to give instructions to someone. I selectively muted to minimize the noise, but my co-worker still told me a hilarious story after my cockatiel flew away with a big eagle scream.

My co-worker used to work in a call centre as a booking agent and one caller stood out. It was absolute chaos in the background! What was going on? The caller apologized and said she had ten parrots and they were raising havoc as parrots will often do. One was singing Old MacDonald in the background (must have been an African grey or an Amazon!) and another one was yelling “Shut up!” While the other birds were presumably squawking. The caller said she had just arrived home, and as any bird owner can tell you...it’s happy scream time for a good solid hour when the flock is all together. I didn't feel so bad after that :-D
