Can you believe I went back? 9 months

Yes, I did! I can't believe it myself. But my hair has never felt so good. The sistah charges an arm and a leg, but she's working my "do" and we're down to just under five hours now. If she can get me to four, I'll be back to where I was before and the extra cost won't seem so ridiculous. Okay, well, it still seems ridiculous. BUT ...  to me it feels more manageable and lays down more. I'm having more fun with it. Not sure if I can afford to go back forever, but I'm enjoying this splurge. Given the stress of my new job, frantic kids, and just everyday life,  I'm going to ride this out a few more times before my budget beckons!
