Counting Recent Blessings: New Hair Cut

Okay, this is just a simple little thing, but I got my hair cut yesterday. And it’s really cute! One of the little difficulties of moving is finding a new hairdresser. It’s also one of those ‘important, but not what I feel like doing today’ kinds of things. But, after a month and a half, my hair was looking bad. With a capital B. I almost braved one of those chain places with $8 haircuts just because I knew where to find one and had no clue about where anything else would be, but I have difficult hair, if you know what I mean. I've been scalped at those places before. My hair is coarse and very thick and heavy and I never know what to do with it. But I’ve tried long, and, as I told the hairdresser today, I start looking like a lion. It just grows out and in bulk – not unlike Rapunzel. Anyway, I had to run in to the grocery store for milk this morning, and guess what I noticed at the end of the strip mall – the same strip mall I’ve been grocery shopping in since we moved here, mind you - a hairdressing salon. I called when I got home, and they asked when I’d like to come in, and I said, “Well, do you have anything tomorrow? I know it’s short notice…” Then she said, “Actually, can you come right now? We have an opening if you want to come now.” I said, “I can be there in 10 minutes!” Boo was very well behaved, well, until right at the end when she was getting bored and wanted to explore everything, and now I have found a new hairdresser and love my new cut. It’s funny how the simplest thing can just make you feel fresh, isn’t it?

Stay tuned for more later.....

I'm looking forward to seeing the cut too! I also have problem hair -- it's thick and bushy and grows out weird. I have a wonderful hairdresser who knows just how to handle my mop and I'd miss her terribly if we moved.

And I avoid the chop shops too. :)
