"If I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

So I had the best couple of days ever, it'll fill you in. Tuesday and Wednesday I had my two little cousins (age: 10 & 5) over. They were a lot of fun. I took them, my brother, and his friend to see Alvin and the Chipmunks : Chipwrecked. It was actually pretty decent. I didn't fall asleep like in the last movie I took them too. As always going to the movie with little ones is a challenge. My brother and his friends were obsessed with getting as many refills as possible. My 10 year old cousin got sick and threw up (in the bathroom thank god), and my baby cousin (she's 5 but she's still the baby) had to use the bathroom and take little movie breaks. So what I saw of the movie, was really good. After we came back home we had dinner and did makeovers with the two girls. They got all dressed up in my old dresses and halloween costumes and felt like princesses. It was a lot of fun. I don't have little sisters so I enjoy having those two around. The day after that I took them to the park and we just hung out. It was fun.

Today I went and got my hair done after if got burned or some kind of drama. For those of you who don't have relaxers drama is common. I have the best hairstylist in town and she works miracles with my hair but the side effects are just there. I'm leaving my hair natural, well not natural but without a weave or extension for now. I want to just do me and bring the new year in as me. You always year boys (especially black boys) talking about "I want a girl with "good" hair" or "my babies better have good hair". It would always just make me self concious that I don't have "Good hair". It grows out of my head and it's hair. I'm going to try and work with what God gave me. And in all honesty, people have a lot nappier hair then I do. If anything I should be thankful. I didn't mean to go on a rant, but afterwards I went shopping with my mom and got a ton of new clothes that i'm really in love with. I'm trying to start the year off with a new look.

I get upset at little things that have to do with my friends a lot. I don't mean too it just happens. So I told you about having everyone over for my birthday right? Well none of them brought me a gift. Pretty sure I got every one of them that invited me over something on their birthday. It may be part of growing up but I think it's nice to show concern for someone. It took me back to the junior high days when i'd make locker signs for all of their lockers on their birthdays and no one made me any all three years on my birthday. Shout out to my friend Olivia Marshall who made me one 9th grade year. I'll always remember that. It just makes me kind of sad that none of them care enough to even make me a card or anything. Whatever. I always let go but never forget. And shoutout to my bestie: S. the brave for getting me an awesome gift. She couldn't make it to my party but still showed concern. So to O. and S., Love you guys. Everyone else, do better but I love you too

To go back to the title of the blog don't you just adore this line, "If I just lay here, will you lie with me and just forget the world?" To me it's like the image of true love. Two people being able to just lay there not talking or trying to impress each other. Just being. Doesn't get better then that.
