I'm Back!

Hey Blog Fans,

I know I’ve been gone way too long, but it’s great to be back! Thank you so much for checking up on me with your comments and e-mails. I really appreciate it!

I’ve been really busy since the holidays with work and travel, and a cold that laid me out for several days. Last week, Wednesday - Saturday, was particularly full with multiple shows in multiple climates: Panama, Costa Rica, Colorado and Florida. Thank goodness my Sisterlocks don’t get jet lagged. (This photo was taken of me on Thursday on my way to the airport in Costa Rica.)

By the way, no photos of me from Colorado. It was too damn cold: 13 degrees - real feel one! Surfice it to say, I wasn't feelin' it.


On Saturday, I had the pleasure of opening for Mr. D.L. Hughley (of Hughley's fame and currently Weekends at the DL on Comedy Central) at University of North Florida's Homecoming. I've worked with D.L. once before and he was great as usual. His hair by the way appears to be twists; very, very precise and neat!

I was scheduled to return home on Sunday, but Mother Nature had other plans. The Blizzard of ‘06 has brought an end to our mild winter. With Airports closed and flights to New York cancelled, I stayed an extra day in Jacksonville. I happily spent the day watching African American Lives on PBS and retightening my hair. (This was interruped only by a jaunt to the local Cracker Barrel. I have a dumpling addiction that no 12 step program can cure.)

I don’t normally do my whole head in one sitting, but it was over due. I usually retighten every four weeks, and I was approaching week six! When I can run my hands through my hair and get my fingers caught up in the new growth, it’s time.

I throughly enjoy retightening my own hair and I don’t travel without my tools. They’re one of the first things to get packed in my suitcase. It they ever get on the banned list with scissors, lighters and nail files, I’m gonna be in trouble.
