I've just recently discovered

that my hair is long enough to put in a french braid.

I think I discovered this a week or so ago, but I'm not really sure. Although many of you may find this surprising, I love to braid hair. It was one of the few ways I played with my Barbies - braiding their long, pretty, blonde hair. Anyway, I've been practicing this every night lately since it feels like I haven't done it since junior high, and my braids were coming out very loose and sloppy. I couldn't remember which strand went on top of which one and since sometimes I do the reverse braid thing (I have no idea what that's called, but I bet Jen knows) my braids kept falling apart.

Now though they are getting tight and feel good. I like to sleep in a french braid because it keeps my hair out of my face and makes me feel clean and good.

Plus, if you shower late at night and don't want to feel all cold and icky, but have to rinse your head because your hair is dirty with two day old funk-ness in it, you can just braid it and you feel all warm and cozy again!

I remember the last time my hair was this long. I was in highschool. It was before the-stupid-man-whose-nickname-is-a-verb told me to cut it all off because he liked girls with short hair, and like any dumb girl in love I did everything he said.

*Sidenote - my room smells like vanilla frosting because of a candle I bought at Target. I'm not enjoying that smell although it does make me crave cupcakes.
