I was wondering when this was going to happen. I was wondering when someone was going to have the nerve to insult my new choice of hairstyle. As you all may or may not know, I did the Big Chop on 4/19. I am now sporting a TWA(the way it's growing I don't think it will be that way but for a couple more months). Yesterday I was talking to one of Rev's pastor-friends and he asked me why I cut my hair. *sigh* I explained to him I was tired of getting relaxers and since I had no patience when it came to my transition, I just cut the relaxed part off. All he seemed to be able to focus on is the fact I cut all of my hair off. He asked me if I had a haircut like a dyke. WTF!?!?!?! What does going natural have to do with sexual preference? That gets my vote for the most ig'nant statement I have heard. Then, the final insult...."If I was Rev I wouldn't have let you cut your hair like that." Again, I say WTF???? Rev is not my daddy. If I want to shave myself Britney Spears bald everyday, I will. I am not going to suppress my right to wear my natural hair that God gave me to fit some prototype of what a First Lady should be. I was more in shock by this man's comments because I considered him to be an alright person. He too is a pastor(I am holding sensitivity training for Pastors, I'll call it PFS--Pastors For Sensitivity). I am coming to the conclusion that Rev surrounds himself with people who are rude as hell. I don't go up to women with relaxed hair and start questioning why they straighten their hair. That is none of my business.
My mom is getting on my nerves. One of these days I am going to sneak and Prozac in her food. When it comes to my wedding she feels like she is the holder of all ideas that are great and I should take no one's advice but hers. Yesterday Miss T called me to tell me about some invitation wording she saw in regards to having a child-free reception(note: this is no longer an issue because Rev and I are gonna let people bring their kids, as we have children too) and she got a business card from a lady who does floral work. Cool. I love how the people I thought would be helpful(My mom) aren't and the people I least expected are(i.e. Weezy and Miss T). While Miss T and I are discussing the invitation wording, Mama is in the background repeating the. same. information. Didn't she see I was on the phone? Uh, Mama sit down. Miss T beat you to the punch. Deal with it. When I told her about Miss Dee getting the number for the florist, I could feel the jealously pouring out of her. I don't have time for all of that drama. If you are not helping don't get mad when someone else jumps in. As far as wedding planning goes, the next thing on my list is to get with the cake bakers(3) and the florist. I will start in June. It's going to be a busy month for me because I have to also help coordinate the Choir Anniversary. So I will have plenty to do. Be Blessed!
