It's been quite awhile since I've been around because I'm a bum like that :-pBefore I get directly into the dreading part, I gotta mention that I found myself a Very Nice Boy. He doesn't mind my dreading process. He doesn't have dreads himself but that's ok.Now onto the meat n taters part:Almost a full year without combing my hair and you just -can't- tell. Friends have put some dreads in and they may stick around for a little while, but they fall out pretty easy. When -I- put a dread in, it falls out within a few days or less.When the dreads stick around longer than a few days, they're nice and tight but seem to start thinning out over time. I'm careful when washing with them. What am I missing here? Am I not careful enough? not washing often enough?I'm so very tempted to post to Craig's List for some help, to try to get someone to do my whole head all at once so I can try from there. I'd have to bribe them with food and art but I wonder if anybody would go for that...Still... I will not give in to the commercial route. No products for my hair.

lately i been realizing that john and i are doing really good on hardly arguing at all. we been laughing together more then lately and hes been way less stressed out. im just so happy that i got to marry a man who meshes so well with me and im realizing how lucky i am. i know alot of people out there have problems finding the right man and i just hope one day they can find a match to them as good of a match as i found for me. i think our secret is that we are such wierdos.. i honestly dont beleive anyone else would know how to deal with us and this is a reason we are soulmates. ive also been seeing that since johns been home more bcuz of the break between semesters that him and gauge have been getting a even stronger bond.you can really see their love for eachother shine. i just hope that it wont be to big of a change when he goes back since he will only be going three days a week next semster. its just so awesome to see the two people you care about most have this great bond and love for one another. i mean u hear these horror stories of dads not wanting to be around their children or running away from the responsibility and im just so thankful that my husband is a real man who will do anything and everything for his son. i know that even if soemthing happened between him and i (im confident that it wont) that he would still be the biggest male figure in gauges life. anyone can be a biological father but it takes a very special man to be a daddy. i just been taking a step back and realizing how happy and thankful for my immediate family lately i mean they arent just my husband and son they are the main two ppl in my life they are my two best friends and i know that we all would do anything for eachother and that no matter what nothing can come between our love for one another. i know if someone would try to hurt either of them i would just lose it. they are my everything and ive never seen such a loving dad or such a beautiful smart happy loving little boy in my life. they truly are my entire world. I LOVE THEM MORE THAN LIFE!

I am 12 weeks pregnant!My last doctor visit was very long and not fun.He did a FULL physical and it was gross.I did not like it at alll..Baby is getting big and growing very fast!It it about 15 grams and 5 inches(not to sure)The dad is still not being to nice. I just hope he starts to think better about it.Thats all I really have to tell for right now.Oh and my Ultra sound is on Fed 16!

today me and my dreads had a nasty encounter with velcro. it seemed pretty blogworthy to me haha.in gym class we were playing elimination and mats were set up around the gym like walls to hide behind. mats with velcro on the edges. im just minding my own business next to one of these mats when a guy comes to whip a ball at me. naturally i ducked in close to the stupid mat to avoid getting killed. of course half of my dreads get stuck to the velcro and i get pelted with the ball, tipping the mat over as it took my dreads with it. It hurt soooo bad this huge heavy thing pulling down on my hair! and it probably pulled out a hundred loose hairs :/ of course on the way down i yelled veeelllcrooo!! i have no idea why, but at least that made it a lot funnier haha.so long story short...tomorrow im wearin a tam! :P

My dread's 4 month birthday will be on December 7th, but I'm just too excited not to post pictures now. There may be a few coming later as well. As you may note from the pictures, they are all developing nicely, and for those that were just a little too awkward and slow, I bound a few together (strategically of course!) with some wool thread that I had left over from a previous crochet project. My loops are running rampant and I just love it. Each dread has a life all it's own. Best part is, those dreads in the back of my head that I was so worried about at first are looking so wonderful now! A friend of mine was playing with my dreads and when she found the ones in the back she exclaimed "WOW now these are REAL dreads! This is what I was expecting to see!" xP Anyhow, PICTURE UPDATE!!

I was wondering how having dreadlocks has changed everyone. Personally I think I'm more accepting of other people and their differences since having dreads. Ive learned that what we're supposed to think is "pretty" or "normal" isn't what we should strive for. Our differences and willingness to show them is what truly makes us beautiful. I used to compare myself to other people and feel bad about the way i was, but now i know that being an individual is far more important than following the crowd and conforming to the norm. And I'm sure I'll learn a lot more in my dready years to come How has having dreads changed you??

So i've waited exactly a year to grow my hair out. I think its been a long enough wait and i'm starting my dreads on January 12th. I dont think i've ever been this excited for something ever!
