it’s wedding eve, and I am off to meet my mom for pedicures in a bit. Now, pedicures I love, but somehow my mom has managed to get me signed up not only to have my hair done, but also my makeup? She’s very tricky, my mom. I know she does not like how I do my hair. That’s because I don’t really do it. I have a great wavy mop of hair. And my hair care and style regime consists of washing it. That’s about it. And to put some Frizeeze in it, so it doesn’t frizz out. That’s it. When I “do” my hair, I straighten it. And I was planning on having Sharon straighten it for me tomorrow. But my mom thought it would be fun to go in together to get our hair done. And since I am not exactly an enthusiastic wedding contributor, it was the least I could do. It’s still Sharon, we both get our hair cut by her, but I imagine my mom will want my hair “done.” I don’t know what that means, but I’ll let her do whatever she wants. It’s her wedding. I don’t know how she got me signed up for the makeup. It was done very casually. In fact, right now, all I’ve agreed to is the eyes.
My hair was looking kinda dull, so, in part, to brighten it up for the wedding and also, in part, to exert a little bit of independence, I colored it light auburn. It’s a lighter version of what I’ve done before. I only left it in 10 minutes. It turned out a little brighter, on the ends, than I anticipated. I don’t think Pattie is going to like it. it’s a semi-perm, so I’ll wash my hair a couple of times tonight and tomorrow. and maybe that will take it down a notch. I like it, but I’m a little concerned about Pattie. I don’t think the bright bits would be as noticeable if Sharon put my hair up. Maybe that will be ok. Most people really like it when I redden it. But… most people aren’t my mother.
And, to clarify my whiny tone, it will be fun to get our hair done together. And get pedicures. Because my mom rocks. She’s weird, but she still rocks.
