Another weekend gone by

Well my weekend did not start off too well. I can't seem to get my scanner to work. I can't seem to figure out what is wrong with it. The light keeps blinking. I think I may need a new cartridge but it usually tells me when the ink is getting low. I can't seem to get it to stop blinking. I need it for work too! I looked high and low for my instruction manual and I can't find it. I have used it frequently and I definitely have misplaced it. I don't know where it could be. Totally frustrating!

On to another blight on my weekend I went to get my hair done. I have worn braids for the past four months. I dyed my hair in December to try something different. I have dark hair. Very dark hair which tends to be hard to color. It's also very coarse and dry. My picture on blog was taken shortly after I got the color. To make a long story short. My hair began breaking off. I mean really breaking off! It became shorter and more brittle. In April I began to wear braids. I love braids! They are so nice. Well I tried to make an appointment on Friday to get my braids redone and the woman who does it was out of town. For the next two weeks! Arrghh! I was so sad. But I needed to get my hair done. So I had it permed and styled. She had to cut a lot of the colored part out which left me with shorter hair than before. I now look like Florence from the Jeffersons. I hate this hairstyle! I mean really hate it. My mom thinks it looks cute but I hate it with a passion! It's definitely an older woman's hairdo. What do you think?

Well I at least think it is a pretty good self portrait of myself. I had to tweak the hairstyle she gave me. She had it styled away from my forehead which is not flattering. I have a very square forehead which needs framing. So I combed some angled bangs to the front. The back is short (where most of the breakage occured) but not tapered. I can't wait to get my braids back. I do not enjoy rolling and styling my hair.

Well I am not going to continuing whining about my my weekend woes fortunately. One good thing came out of this weekend. While I was searching for my instructions to my scanner I found a recipe I couldn't find for years! I am so excited. It's a really good one too! Very tasty. I can't wait to make it but it won't be soon because I will be out of town for the next two weekends. I will post a picture when I make them!

I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Smooches!
