My Week of Firsts

Well I just had to write to let you all know how my very first week of being SisterLoc'd went. I have to admit it was a lil scary. It's hard waking up every morning not sure what your hair is going to look like underneath that silk bonnet. But each day I awoke to something wonderful and beautiful. I told you in my previous post that last Friday was my first official outing with SisterLocks and that went just fine, then I had my first day on a new job Monday the 16th and I was nervous about how my new employer would react. I was nervous because I am the only African American in the office. So I wasn't sure how they would look at my new look since I didn't have it when I interviewed. My supervisor is super cool and she told me that she loved my hair and that it was very "trendy". So that made my day. I still get some that just talk to my hair, but they will get over it. It rained on Tuesday, so again I was nervous and then I realized that I didn't have to worry about my hair (yippie). First time ever! Then when I was at Soulard Market I had my first public compliment. I was just walking and comparing prices of fruit until my man told me that the woman was speaking to me. I said "oh I'm sorry?" She repeated "your hair is beautiful!" Of course I was cheesing all over the place. You know that Sistas don't always compliment each other, so I took that to heart. It made me stand a lil bit taller (I’m already short enough)

I have decided to wait until this weekend to wash my hair, so that will be another first. I'll keep you posted...
