So, I had my hair tamed/straightened today. I have a big curly afro on most days, but I decided to straighten it for the Big Day. I was walking down the street toward work and I saw one of my colleagues.

He stops in the middle of the sidewalk and smiles. “Simone,” he says ” you look AMAZING… you should try to look like that all the time.”

Gee Whiz….was that a compliment!?

Admittedly, I don’t invest a lot of time in how I look. I think make-up is great, but personally I’d rather sleep the extra ten minutes. I like my hair straight too, but its toooooo time consuming to maintain that hairstyle. But, I try not to look like a bum…most days:-)

Secretly, I just hope whatever dude God has for me will think the Simone…that’s plain… loves to wear t-shirts n’ blue jeans…has crazy hair.. and wears no make-up is amazing.
