Bad Hair Day

I am always looking for cute hair styles. I take pictures on my cell phone and take them to my devoted hair stylist asking for miracles. Grace and I were in Target the other day and I notice a poster of a darling hair cut. I shot the picture and was off to see Jane (my stylist). Jane cut a cute pixie style and we both commented on how it would look better if I was platinum.

You can probably see where this is headed. I decided to lighten up my hair and what occurred was some sick chemical reaction that landed me with old lady, lavender gray hair. It was 8:30 at night and I was too tired to cry. Bryan and Grace kept telling me it wasn't that bad. This just made me mad because I knew they were lying.

Dialed up my neighbor Heidi who I knew would be truthful. In PJ's and slippers I ran through the backyard making noise so the cougar wouldn't get me (yes, we still have cougar issues in suburbia). Heidi, being a true friend said "Oh Honey, its NOT OK." Thank you!!! Some honesty. She hands me a glass of chardonnay and we sit down to watch dancing with the stars. This is not a good show to watch when you are feeling ugly. Every woman has a rocking, spray tanned body and glued on costumes.

My every faithful Jane is fixing me at 0930. I considered taking a picture but my pride just can't handle it.

P.S. The lastest on the Cougar is that the wild life people believe it is a male cougar weighing 120-140lbs. My father tracked him and found paw prints. The wild life people gave us directions on how to recognize cougar scant(crap). Lovely. I didn't move to Mason to look at scant.

You have the ability to combine humor with reality - a quality that has served us through the years. Everyone needs a Heidi...the one who will say "yes" that hair must be fixed! Also, thanks for the visual of you dodging the cougar - What is up with that?
Ang, as we discuss humor, and you indeed have it, I was there for the "RED HAIR" incident - weren't you in the salon for 6 hours the next day???? I walked downstairs, saw you and thought "It must be changed!"

Good luck today - good times!
