Alright y'all, we're gonna have some extra visitors...I've decided to invite my coworkers over to see the pictures from the greening trip (I'm back BTW!). I debated and debated, because I don't like for my real life and my online life to mix, but it was just the easiest way to let both y'all and them see the pics. So I'll be adding these pics very soon. There will be a lot of pics of other people, but don't worry, there will be a HEALTHY helping of hair pics in here as well, lol...so stay tuned!! ;)

Pictures from our first greening trip back in November.

Don't forget about August week 1!! I took GOO-GOBS of pictures this week, and there are a lot of great ones in the bunch. Stay tuned!! ;)

My girl Kalaida (http://public.fotki.com/CarolinaSweetgrass) gave me a good chiding in my guestbook about taking so long with the Week 4 album ,lol!!...so here it comes. Should be done either tonight or tomorrow, stay tuned!! :-D

tonight or tomorrow, stay tuned!! :-D

Finally got a little time to play in Photoshop my dang self! ;) Just thought I'd share a few of the pics I played with.

***Pics are previews of August***

Jet's drawings from the "Let's Draw Each Other!" thread.

Yaayy!! The wonderful week 3 has finally arrived!! I'll try to get these (many) pics in by this weekend. Stay tuned!! ;-D

***UPDATED FRIDAY JULY 29, 2005***

Added some more of Shatani's photo artwork to the end!! :-D

My first "real" loc style is contained in this week!!! :-D This album will cover July 9th to the 15th. Stay tuned!! ;)

9th to the 15th. Stay tuned!! ;)

MAN Y'ALL...I'm not sure why, but I've been doing the taking-pictures-like-a-madwoman thing again lately...I hope you're sitting down as I tell you that I've already taken well over *700* pictures this month...I said ALREADY. That's as of July 17th. I don't know what my problem is, except that I am just LOVING MY HAIR AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT. And of those 700 pics, a good 683 are usable, and dare I say VERY GOOD...I don't even want to delete any (but I know I have to...*sigh*). I'm having such a ball this month!! I've already done two styles, and I'm just tickled PINK about 'em. SO! Long story short, I've decided to divide July up by weeks so that you guys aren't overwhelmed by the sheer volume of pictures. I've been deleting a few, but there's just NO WAY I can get the number below 3 or 400 for the whole month...so this is a necessity. So stay tuned, I'll try to get the pics from the first week of July in as soon as possible!!

And through it all don't forget...JET IS LOVING HER HAIR!!!!! ;-D

A quick detour from my locing journey (with maybe a few pics thrown in from this year here and there)...miss murewa has requested an album showcasing styles that I've worn or would wear for special occasions, and she asked so nicely I just couldn't say no!! ;-D So here you go girl, let me see what I can put together for ya.

Stay tuned!! ;)

***UPDATED JULY 13, 2005***

I added about 30 more pics, beginning on page 2, picture #90.

I tell ya, the months are just FLYING by. My hair is nothing less than fully locked right now even as I type, the only thing I'm waitin' on now is maturity. I HAVE LOCS Y'ALL!!!!! I'm so excited, I REALLY don't think y'all GET IT!!!!! I'm beginning to see more and more that this is gonna turn out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made and I wish I had made it sooner, I'm talkin' bout it's up there with a select few other decisions (like the decision to stop perming). My hair has gotten fuller, each loc has condensed and now feels like a loc, my hair is getting shorter and shorter (my shrinkage just does NOT quit y'all...it's a-MAZING! how much hair is hiding in these locs o' mine...just when I think it can't get any shorter...it does.). I might have to do some reminder comparison shots so y'all can see how much hair I started with...my hair is SHORT y'all, lol. But yeah, I'm chattering too much again, let me get to uploading some more pics so I can bring y'all up to speed. Stay tuned!! ;)

Come in and enjoy! ;)

Alright here I come y'all!! I got a minute set aside here, and I'm gonna put it to good use...updating of course. ;) I'm so sorry it's taking me so long, believe me I KNOW how frustrated *I* get when I keep checking back to certain albums and it's like that person fell off the face of the earth...I'm like, don't you know I LIVE for your updates??! LOL, I'm a SUPER album junkie though, so maybe that's just me. ;) But yeah, enough jabber, let me go ahead and try to catch this here album up.

***NEW PROGRESS UPDATE (May 30)***

Finally finished!! I'll have to go back later and add the length of time that I've been loced to each pic for you guys' information, but I figured I'd go ahead and open it now since that would take too much time and I've kept you guys waiting long enough. I hope you enjoy, and I'll try to get more pictures in as soon as possible!! :-D

Man I'm tellin' y'all...they're not givin' a sista a minute to breathe over here!!! I am SO SORRY y'all...don't think I'm playing games with you guys or anything, I am just unbelievably busy and it seems to keep getting worse. I just finished three intensive weeks of simulations and classes, and now we're about to start back with our MBA classes for the summer, and my schedule is gonna be even busier than before! *sigh* This is really hurting my feelings too...because I'm so excited about my hair and I want to share it with y'all so bad. But what I'm basically saying is: continue to hang in there with me!! I'm really trying to get to this as soon as I can. Hopefully I can bring my album up to speed very soon. ;)

P.S. And to those asking for my password, don't worry, it's just locked for now until I finish updating. Everything'll be free and clear once I get everything squared away!! :)

All done with edits!! Album is open for viewing, come on in and I hope you enjoy. ;-D

I...finally...finished uploading. *lol* Who KNEW it would take that long...SO sorry about that, more than y'all could know. I picked a horrible day to upload pics apparently, cuz Fotki was having some SERIOUS uploading issues. But y'all see where my priorities are, lol..."must...upload...pictures...at all costs!"

So here it is guys, come in and see if your vote was right or wrong!! And thanks for participating in my poll, y'all REALLY cracked me up!!! :-D Enjoy the album, and DON'T SCROLL DOWN to see what I did...start at picture #1!! I'm trusting y'all...;-D
