I was chasing Angry Kid around in the front yard over the weekend to try and get some pictures for Valentine’s Day cards. He was not cooperating very well. Meanwhile, our dogs wanted to hang out with me. They were tired of being chased by the kid. Our dog, Wolfie, rolled on her back, as usual, and wanted me to pet and rub her belly. She is wild and crazy for a twelve pound dog. Most of the time, she thinks she is much bigger. She looks so sweet and angelic in this picture though.

Some people think that it is much easier to have short hair. You just wash and go, right? I actually spend more time on my short hair than I did with my long hair. I used to live with an eternal ponytail. I got tired of doing nothing with my hair and decided to cut it short.
My hair is extremely thick and curly naturally. You probably can’t tell, because I maintain it frequently. I have to have my hair cut and razored every few weeks to thin it out. If I don’t, I start looking like a Q-Tip. Let’s just say that my hair is looking rather fluffy right now. To bring out the texture in my hair, I use several hair products. I start by combing out my hair and add in some texturizer, water wax, or gel. I prefer the thick creamy products. I have to be careful to not use too much product because my hair tends to look greasy. I may use some silicone gel after that for shine, and finish it off with hair spray. So much for easy hair styling.
I ran out of her goop the entire day, and I panicked. I knew that I would not be able to do my hair without some kind of texturizing product. My usual Transforming Paste from Aquage is pretty hard to find. I have substituted it with Bed Head’s Manipulator for the past two months. The Manipulator, pictured above it thick and gooey.
I took the photo on Monday morning, when I was trying to do my hair in a hurry. I may have gotten the texturizer all over everything because it is very sticky.
I’m posting this over at Sweet Shot Tuesday on My3Boybarians. Have you taken a sweet shot? Whether it be from your camera or your cellphone, why not do a post and link up!
I got a new lens for Christmas. It is the Nikon AF 50mm/1.8D. I’ve been wanting it for awhile now. I finally put it on my list for Santa. I guess my mom was Santa this year because I received a little brownish colored box with my favorite brand on it, Nikon.
Angry Kid has been on Christmas break and the weather has been pretty crummy here lately, tons of rain. As I was in my cleaning frenzy, I saw my pretty lens sitting in the box still. I promptly removed the lens from the box and placed it on the camera. This was one of the first shots that I got. Angry Kid was mid-melon. I got some others of the dogs, but wow, they needs baths really bad. So you won’t be seeing those pictures. I think this is a good start though.
