As much as I hate being a rambling fool, i ramble. on and on. until i get irritated with my voice and stop myself. I will stop myself after 2 paras.
I remember saying to my groggy self one morning, after 3 months of getting the hair straightener and spending 15 mins in front of the mirror each morning, meticulously straightening my hair, in sections mind you, that i will most definitely take the plunge and invest in rebonding/ceramic straightening and all sorts of other nonsense that will negate the 15 mins spent each morning with hot irons. 15 more mins to sleep in. wow, that sounds like a plan... until you find out that it costs $600... haha! that changes things now. would i spend $600 on something that will only last for a maximum of 3 months, given that my hair will grow out curly? perhaps not. i don't want to have half straight half curly hair. so that plan has been thrown out of the window.
I also recall saying to Matt one day some months back, that given i've been good wife for almost 3 years here in Bermuda, and I've tried to earn my share of the household expenses, although as of today, i'm not even earning half of what he earns, could i please get myself a nice watch? it would be a nice 5th anniversary present, i told him. his response was mildly negative. not totally negative, but mildly. when i recently told him that i wanted to rebond my hair for $600, that sort of changed his perspective. he said, is it worth it? if you're going to spend $600 on something that won't last more than 3 months, i might as well get you the nice watch. at least that's permanent! wow. so this plan is back in action.
it's all relative.
