Where did that month go?

Ever had one of those months when you just get the hang of it on the last day of the month?

I'm set for February now.

Ever found yourself on the same side of the sun (again!) and wondered how many more trips you will be making around it? That's the fun new way I will be thinking about aging now... measuring time in trips around the sun... I just read a book by Christopher Moore - that's his way of putting it. I like it, very cosmic.

Ever found yourself stopped by an inch of snow? I'm getting older, and perhaps a bit grumpy. I grew up in Edmonton where snow piles were often taller than me... now I stay inside when it snows here in Vancouver, which it did on the weekend, and some of the white stuff is still here! We don't do snow here. We have snow, but we keep it on the mountains, where it is nice to look at and you can visit it if you really want to. So now I stay inside and peer out the windows, and go a bit stir crazy.

OK, had enough of February. Let's get on with March.

It grows back doesn't it?

It sucks that you don't know how bad your hair will look until the next day.

And yes, it did go poof in the middle of the night!

I was concerned that the young little thing didn't have a clue what I was talking about... and I was right to be concerned. What a hatchet job.

I was going for a 1950's style and getting close to it... now I have down-right boring interpretation by a 20-something fool.

So this all grows back doesn't it? That's the great thing about hair it grows back... it will take ages though :-(

Should I wait up for the poof?

Got my hair done today. But not by my favourite hair stylist.

When I called to book the appointment, they said he left the salon. I asked where he went, but they wouldn't tell me, and since I needed a cut, I went with someone new - Whitney... just as long as she didn't sing, I was ok with that. Boy do I know when she was born and who her parent's favourite singer was! Poor kid.

Whilst I was on hold and they were figuring out what to say to me about my old hairdresser I heard a really silly add. It was for a new product of theirs. It's a frizz control that lasts 12 hours. All I could think was "What happens at hour 12? Is there a popping noise, and your hair puffs out in a huge ball of fur?"

So when the new hair stylist said "Can I use this on your hair, have you ever tried it?" and she pulled out the frizz control stuff I started laughing.

I don't have frizzy hair, but it's their new product to push, and I don't typically have allergic reactions to the Aveda products, so I said sure, why not.

But now I have a dilemma. I would like to see the 12th hour poof, but it was put into my hair at 1pm, so that means I would have to stay up until 1am to see this miracle of hair productus poofius.

So is it funny enough to stay up that late... hmmm.

Update: Didn't stay up... didn't have to... around 1am my spouse actually reported a popping sound... when I woke up, the morning was extreme on the poof, it took much shampooing to get it to stay down! Quite the science lab hijinks on my hair!
