Ok, here's the business...
I grew up shuttling between Updtate NY and NYC (Da Bronx Baby!!) and transplanted myself to the DC area in January 2006 to do this post-college adulthood thing (but shhhh, don't tell Sallie Mae I'm here). I spend my weekdays doing the 9-5 at the office plantation and the rest of my time tap dancing and getting into stuff I've probably got no business getting in. I think hard, play hard, and love hard. I'm kinda shy, kinda outspoken, kinda crazy. I don't have a problem saying what's on my mind. Sometimes I get deep, sometimes I get mad, but most of the time I'm saying "What the f**k!?" to something or another. I'm enjoying my life journey so far--missteps and all. Certified Oddball, Phenomenal Female and this is my take on life as I live it.

It's Friday, and I'll be at work fakin the funk pretending to be working like a field slave. As soon as I get out of work, D and I are on the road. I'm dragging him to NY to see my mom and to get my braids re-done. I'd get them done in DC, but the only recommendation people give is "The Africans on Georgia Ave". There are 900 different braid places on this one road alone, I need more specifics like maybe the address or how bout a phone number!? But I digress.
It'll be nice to go home for a little while and see some of my people that I haven't seen since Christmas and maybe hit up a cookout or two. The weather today seems great for travelling and BBQ, so I dug up DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince/Will Smith's "Summertime":
LOL... there are a bimillion braid place here too...dag. I want my hair braided since I didn't manage to get it locked. Well have a wonderful road trip and weekend lady.
You guys have a great weekend! A friend of mine went to one of those African braiding parlors (not Georgia Ave) and had a horrific experience...for her...I was laughing my ass off!!! You are probably doing the right thing! Have fun and be safe!
Ms. Claudette's Hair braiding on New Hampshire Ave. It's in PG but near the DC line. The near the intersection of New Hamp and University near an IHOP.
