I went to work, bright and early.
After work, I had an appointment with Cleopatra's Salon, in my neighborhood. When I made the appointment, a Middle Eastern man touched my hair, and said "eh, we can work with that". All day I was dreading the appointment, think that I was going to ask the stylist alot of questions before I would let him or her touch my hair today. However, when I got there, they took me straight to the shampoo bowl, and I wound up just watching ladies with all kinds of hair textures getting their "do's done". I put my faith in these middle eastern folks and their unfamiliar language and rolled the dice.
Overall, I would give the process a 76% and the final look, 87%. First a young woman washed my hair, then another young woman blow dried my hair, then a man flat ironed and curled it. The blow drying was the worst. My hair was wet, super curly, and a little knotted from my last round of twists. There were at least three knots that she seemed to be clawing it with the comb, my head is still throbbing from the trauma. At the end, my hair was super smooth and bouncy, I liked it alot. Now, I can't get it wet or sweat too much, plus I have to wrap it up at night. Beauty knows no bounds.
The Internet is working now. Lauren and I attempted to watch Mad Men on the Roku. I say attempted because she talked all through it! Grrrrr. I will be checking that out at another time. I talked to my Dad tonight, he is hilarious. Apparently, he is going to Bisbee for a Blues Festival this weekend. I told him how it is getting colder, and that I really want to go to a Bears game at Soldier Field when it is snowing. He said that I was out of my mind. I told him that thousands of people go every year and no one has ever died. He replied, you don't know if they have or not, and when your feet freeze, you are going to feel like you died. Silly papa. I told him that he was only saying that because he is on the setting side of the sun, aka old. He said that he would remember that and leave me 23 dollars in his will. Shucks, :(
