Sunday is the beginning of my weekend with some exceptions & I always try to go out & do something. Most times I try to dress up & yesterday was one of those times. My hair was in a stretched out updo Pompadour looking style for the entire work week, then I took it down, finger detangled in sections, twisted each section, left overnight and then undid for that very sexy fro with a side part in the above picture.



I ran errands for my mom before I visited my friend & my 3 month old beautiful chubby little god-daughter. I went to the dollar tree & Kmart. At both places dudes told me I looked nice, I responded graciously & whatnot; this one woman at Kmart actually stopped me to ask how I got my hair style & complimented me. That was the first time a stranger ever did that. I loved it. *giggles* So I was driving back home & I stopped at the light on a two lane road. I stopped beside a car & was still looking ahead not paying attention to who was in the car next to me & all I heard was, "YO WHAT THE FUCK???!!!" followed by hilarious laughing & inaudible words. Funny thing, the car was quiet for the first couple of seconds as I was pulling up then when I completed my stop I heard the huge burst of laughter. I still haven't looked at then at this point but they sounded like young boys, early twenties maybe. I'm pretty sure it was directed at me but who knows... I just know it was a little coincidental that the commotion happened when I completed my stop. I was thinking 'these snot nosed little rugrats need to go siddown somewhere'. It got me to thinking about guys & the hair they are used to seeing. They can't be expected to just jump into accepting & liking natural hair, fros, & other natural hairstyles because they grew up seeing the women in their families wearing their hair straight whether it be weaves, wigs, or relaxers; {but it did bother me a tiny bit & I do think that people should at least respect people's choices instead of reacting like that}. For that, I wasn't mad at them but mostly because I was looking hot & was feeling myself waayyyyy too much. I really don't think I've ever had that kind of reaction before either. I have gotten stares though.

Closer look at my fro.

So yup, that was my Sunday.
