Hi!\u00a0 I am aware that I have this little thing called a blog!\u00a0 I want to spend time posting pics and updates about our lives on here, but I’ve been trying to survive lately.\u00a0 I’ve taken very few pics, not because we haven’t been constantly doing things, but because I’m doing good to make it through the day…much less photograph the effort.<\/p>\n

As of yesterday, I’m feeling better.\u00a0 I thank the LORD that this first trimester mess seems to be passing, and I just pray for the safety and health of this little baby growing in my belly!\u00a0 As horrible as the nausea is, it is strangely comforting.\u00a0 As long as I’m sick, I feel like everything must be going well in there.\u00a0 As soon as I wake up feeling more “normal,” I start worrying that something must be wrong.\u00a0 That’s called a great big lack-o-faith<\/em>!\u00a0 I’ve tried to focus on praying for “Cletus the fetus” instead of fretting.\u00a0 I know I should just be thankful that I was able to cook for my family last night…and I was even able to eat what I cooked!\u00a0 PTL!!!<\/p>\n

On a totally different note…<\/p>\n

I went to Target today with THREE MANIACS!\u00a0 It was NOT A GOOD DECISION!\u00a0 They were apparently starving at 10:30 this morning, and I just needed to pick up 4 things…toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrush, pledge dusters.\u00a0 4 things.\u00a0 That’s all!\u00a0 It was painful.\u00a0 I got many looks from women who have obviously forgotten what it’s like to take 3 maniacs into a store (Lord, help me to not be one of those mean old ladies!)\u00a0 We made it.\u00a0 That’s all I will say about that.<\/p>\n

However, on my wonderful, long-overdue trip to Target<\/a> a few weeks ago, I found myself on the hair clip aisle.\u00a0 The pink sponge rollers caught my eye as I was wondering if my girls would like something like that.\u00a0 Then I noticed these Mega Self Grip Hair Rollers, and I decided I might need them.\u00a0 I usually don’t buy random things when I shop, but I have got to figure out something to do with this mop on my head!\u00a0 I wear it in a pony tail every day because I’m too lazy to straighten it, and I feel a little “80’s-ish” wearing it curly all the time.\u00a0 So, it just ends up in a pony or a bun….every.day!<\/p>\n

Well, I spotted these little Conair beauties and had no idea what to do with them, but wanted to give them a try.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I haven’t rolled my hair in 100 years, so I really had no idea what I was doing.\u00a0 I just put my hair in rollers while it was wet<\/strong>, to see if I could avoid drying\/straightening\/curling.\u00a0 I used little alligator clips just to secure it, because I did use a hair dryer a little.<\/p>\n

Purty ain’t it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This was the result.\u00a0 Again, not a clue what I was doing!\u00a0 Here’s what it looked like straight out of rollers.\u00a0 I think i shook it out.\u00a0 Can’t remember.\u00a0 Sorry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And this is 5 hours later.\u00a0 Didn’t do anything else to it.\u00a0 I’m lazy like that! :)\u00a0 Sorry for the weird color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yes, I know I look like a total TOOL taking pics of myself, but I wanted to show you my new “sponge” rollers!\u00a0 Go early 90’s!!!<\/p>\n

So that’s it.\u00a0 I’m back.\u00a0 Hope to have many more posts and recipes now that I’ve entered the real world again!\u00a0 There will probably not be any more self-photographs of my head.\u00a0 I’m sure you’re devastated.<\/p>\n

Happy Friday!!!\u00a0 I’ll be enjoying a fresh hot Shipley’s apple fritter and a McDonald’s coffee in a few short hours.\u00a0 Nighty night!<\/p>\n
