My New Curls

I am going to be very girly today and talk about my hair.

I have always envied girls with curls. My hair has always been almost straight, but mostly just a little wavy that ends up looking straggly. As a result, I usually blow dry it straight and then either flip the ends up or under with a large round brush. That's on a good day.

I am also known to tie my hair in a knot on my head (as opposed to someone else's head) or throw it in a ponytail.

But, I have discovered that Little Bear has given me this lovely gift- new curls.

One day I was taking Toots to preschool summer camp and didn't have time to dry my hair so I let it dry by itself. When I arrived, Cher Bear, one of the teachers at the school, said something like- Oh, your hair looks absolutely fabulous. Look at those curls! You have the Brazilian Blowout, I'll have to bring you my magazine that shows the hairstyle. It's the new thing. You are absolutely the most in style and put together mother I have ever seen.

Now, Cher Bear reads my blog so she is probably thinking- that's not what I said. Okay, so I did take a teenie weenie (laughing as I write that) bit of liberty with her words, but it is pretty close. Well, not pretty close, but close enough.

We both think it is hilarious that she said I had a Brazilian ANYTHING, but now I am feeling really cool with my completely effortless, as seen in an actual magazine, hairstyle.

Wanna see the curls? Well, aren't you just having the best day because guess what? I have a picture. I know, shocking that I am actually in one of my family photos. My niece took it. Thank you Miss B.

Can you tell I cropped my buns right out of this photo?

So what do you think? Actual curls, right? A little straggly but we're at the beach. I think it must be some hormonal thing after having the fourth child so I am giving all the credit to Little Bear.

Oh, and to Cher Bear for pointing them out.

GO BEARS!

By the way, if you are reading this Cher Bear, please forgive me for not turning in my preschool registration forms that were due ages ago and which you requested before your vacation which starts next week yesterday. If its any consolation, I mentioned you in my post!
