Although my hair like most girls is a constant struggle.
There is always a bright side of a bad hair day:
She has to be one of the best things ever… and she has the biggest hair.
I know I’m a little young to be a fan of Gilda but here is a reason you should be one too:

Sometimes I try to conquer my bad hair with knowledge. I leaf through the internet’s tips and suggestions…
And then with enough alcohol and coconut oil… I get brave!
And sometimes it doesn’t work out the way I planned:
This happens every time… and then I just go out with my frizzy hair… and a lot of self confidence.

Maybe my hair is the worst because it’s a little too long:
Nope that didn’t fix it.

Sometimes the doodle can explain itself.
I think this is one of those times:

As promised here is part 2.
True story, when I get out of the shower it’s a countdown to an afro that could outshine 1980’s Whitney Houston…. But the only person I want to dance with is someone with a hair tie.
When my hair is in such an uproar being around me is dangerous.
If you are in a 5′ range you could end up with hair in your mouth or eye.
You could be infringed from watching television if seated behind me.
You could be filled with memories of the 1980s and perhaps wonder when Chaka Kahn is releasing her latest album.
Or you could also be inspired to plant a hedge in front of your house,
All of these things have really happened.

I have been threatening for a while to make a theme week of doodles… and I thought what could I draw about for a whole week?
And then I thought about the thing that plagues me every morning of every day of my life: MY HAIR!
Everyday I wake up looking like a 1980s hair band member, wrestler, or even King Louis XIV of France. None particular hair dreams.
So lets get this started:

Where did February go?
I think I lost it somewhere between the extensive visits to FED EX Kinkos, the emergency room, trying to find my black eyeliner (which there seems to be a shortage of) and trying to figure out what projects that I’ve worked on in the last 10 years that best describes me.
And doing it all with a cat attached to me.
UGH.
Well enough of that.
February has also been wonderful.
I must say that now that my family has expanded there are a lot of birthday’s in February… and I have not posted about them, because I literally just got out of line at Kinkos.
But today’s birthday is one I have to share… because it’s my sister’s birthday! (technically sister in-law, but she feels like a regular ole’ sister!)
And though she is states away I want her to know that she is the best…. that is why she gets a present and a doodle!
Happy Birthday Season! I hope that your day is lovely and that your birthday week with Tony home is wonderful.
Love, ♥, love to everyone,
Lauren
I made this last year and I apparently forgot to post it.
I made this during a time when all I was doing felt wrong. And I can tell you it came from frustration and me thinking that I was failing at everything.
Now I am not. I know I am not, and I cannot tell you in words how great it feels.
I am now surrounded by books containing knowledge, and people who are happy to see me. It feels lovely. I rarely think about how I felt at the time I drew this doodle now.
I was anxious. I was nervous. I was wishing to be somewhere else.
Is this all too deep for a Friday?
I hope that everyone can keep it together this weekend… but never forget that there are always paper clips there to help. They could be literal paperclips, binders, staples and what nots… or they could be friends, family, or even Mindy Kaling’s tv show.
I hope that if you need them you find paperclips of your own.

P.S I have been reading the history of Uppity Women by Vicki Leon and the works of James Thurber. Both are fantastic.
I am still so excited about my future that I can barely handle myself.
I could barely sleep because I felt like a human pogo stick. I am really that excited.
I colored this last night, because I couldn’t sleep. And because I really like ladybugs. And they unlike dinosaurs do not eat your face…
I hope this makes at least one person smile just a little bit!
And I’m still working on a theme week I think I shall display it on Thursday! Be ready!
♥Lauren
Viciously Sweet
