Welcome! Just little tid bits into my thoughts and quirks. Nothing extraordinary.
How Can You Help Tsunami Victims
Before I get into the weekend I just need to vent for one paragraph...
Ugh! Yours truly is not a happy camper at the moment. I went in Sat to get a trim. My hair was quite uneven after the braids. Certain strands slipped past my shoulders while the bulk of my hair gathered around my collar bone. The person I normally see no longer works there. Her replacement was a very nice lady who delivered remarkable conversation, but less than remarkable results. She mentioned that she was suffering from a sinus infection (hmm, that should have been a warning). I quizzed her on curly hair and she seemed knowledgeable...so we proceeded. After a few min I could tell that she was agitated. I asked her what was wrong and she kept telling me that she was having trouble evening up all of my hair. WHAT!?!?!?! You cannot “even up” curly hair. ARG!!!!! I told her that I was pleased with the results and that she could stop. She agreed but insisted on cutting a little more in the back to round it out. Well, once it dried…it was just a horror! My hair went from shoulder length, to just under my ear!!!!! The back is a little bit longer and reaches just under my neck. I have two types of curls. On top I have wavy-curly and underneath I have tighter spiral curls. Somehow she layered the back and now you can see both types. All of my tight curls are now exposed from the middle of my head down. I suppose the good news is that I am now working with just my healthy hair (I am pretty sure she cut all of the dead ends and then some) so that is always nice. The curls look livelier since there is not so much weight holding them down. And my hair is indeed round, instead of the wedge look I had before. *sigh*
I have received a few compliments, so that makes me feel a little better. Although it is a little strange, everyone who has mentioned how nice my hair looks is a female. Only the men seem to disapproveL, but hey-what do they know right! J
Okay, the weekend was wonderful. Friday my young moo tried out for her yellow belt and made it!!! YEAH!!! I was so happy. I sat on the edge of my seat with anticipation all over my face. When she was done I stood up and clapped. I fought every urge to yell out Encore! Encore! LOL. She was so precious. Before hand we were mentally preparing ourselves. I asked her what we were here to get and she said “Yellow belt mum.” And I said SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT and she screams “I AM HERE FOR THE YELLOW BELT!!!” It was so cute.
Afterwards, I met up with a friend who officially asked me to be her bridesmaid. Gosh, that makes 4 weddings in one year! I am a bridesmaid for three of them!! While I am completely thrilled, it is also starting to get a little depressing, especially since three of them take place between July and August. L
Sat. after my haircut I met up with the group of women from cyber space. We talked over coffee/coco for hours. We have planned river rafting, hiking, wine tasting and one marathon. If we can all stick to the plan, this should be fairly exciting. There are about 30 something women in this group. The ages range from 21-43, from all walks of life. It is superb.
After the meeting I jetted off to meet another acquaintance from cyber land. He and I went on this lovely walk through this nature wonderland. It was awesome. On one side was a field full of purple, yellow and gold flowers of all types. On the other side were small ponds filled with fish, ducks and geese. Certain spots showcased blackberry bushes or trees. The trees were awesome. I am not sure what type these were. They did not grow upright; instead the branches grew out and were somewhat twisted and curvy. It reminded me of some tree Holt out of Elfquest. It was the perfect tree for climbing. J There were rabbits everywhere. I caught a glimpse of one eating and three or four hopping about. There were a few birds that were jet black with crimson red feathers on just the upper portion of their wings (shouldersJ). They were beautiful. I have never seen this species before, so I am not sure what the proper name would be. It was truly an inspiring walk.
Afterwards we went to a quaint little Italian restaurant and chatted a bit. The conversation was so-so. But during the drive home things began to get a little interesting. We held a wonderful conversation in regards to theology. I wanted it to continue, but I was already late for another appointment.
I ended up missing out on my appointment and instead met up with yet another cyber buddy. He and I sat and talked in a café and then went to a comedy club. While we were waiting I made casual conversation with a few waitresses’ who were on break. Well, it turned out that they were also the same waitress’ seating us. We scored seats right in front of the stage. There were only two other couples who lucked out. I spent most of the show with my legs propped against the stage. The show was HILARIOUS! I have not laughed so hard in quite some time. By the time it was all said and done, it was already
Got up at the butt crack of dawn to go to church and then spent the rest of the morning teaching Sunday school class (4 year olds) for the remaining two services. I then took my tired butt home for some rest. J
I suppose you get what you ask for! LOL-ChEeRs!
Ahhhh....haircuts! I know the feeling! The good thing is it GROWS back
Hope your having a good day! Blessings~
Curly hair - I totally know where you are coming from. I finally found a hairdresser who knows. Have a great weekend!
I'm supposed to be getting a haircut on Saturday. I hope it goes better than yours! Sorry about that--wow, that's a shame. But the great thing about hair is that it will grow out!
