I need a vacation
... from my vacation!Oy vey! I have been going non-stop since Thursday and I am pooped! Son's doctor appointment Thursday morning, then his counselor that evening ... in between I shampooed the living room carpet. Friday was a little slower paced ... I had my eye exam, which was about 3 years overdue. However, the closest preferred network provider on my vision plan from work was IN the mall! I thought it was a vision center that is located outside the mall one street over ... but nooo! INSIDE the freaking mall one week before Christmas! And then, I thought the place was on the south end of the mall ... nooo again! It was wayyyy over on the other side!
Feh ... and my astigmatism is much worse. My new glasses will be 30% more powerful. But I got some really snazzy rimless ones that are light as a feather. I will get a pair of prescription sunglasses as well. I shall be stylin' and profilin'! Rock on, baby.
Vacation day 3 ... after many fruitless attempts to get in to my regular hair guy (heh heh ... get it? Fruitless? Uhhh ... my hair guy is gay as hell ... swish swish swish, baby!) I had given up and decided to do it myself. Not much I can do about the length, but I can handle the color and cut my bangs. I did it for years that way, when blowing 50 bucks on my hair would have been unheard of, I could eat on that for two weeks. So I went by the beauty supply store and got the stuff for my color (I do a two-tone, medium and dark auburn). I arrived home and my son announced he was going with a friend and his dad and would be back around 6. Groovy ... plenty of time to do the hair. Right ... of course not.
At 3, he comes waltzing back in. I was just finishing the application of the medium color. Just then, his grandfather (dad's dad) calls. My son hollers up at me that Grandpa wants to take him to their family Christmas party. "That's nice dear ... when?"
"He said he'd be here in about 45 minutes."
I told him to get his nice clothes out and ready. They needed ironing. Badly. Teen-age boys are not known for their skills in taking care of their clothes. I thought I'd teach him how to iron, but in the interest of speed, I went ahead and did it myself ... with color still in my hair. The ironing was done just at the end of the processing time. I got through the shower and back into clothes only minutes before Grandpa got there. Whew!
With sonny boy gone for the evening, I was able to finish up my hair, including a bang trim and then get a take out order for dinner. The first time in three days that I actually sat down and relaxed. I watched Pirates of the Carribean (is Johnny Depp like the hottest or what?
) and played with the kitties.Posted by LissaKay on 12/20/04 at 01:43 AM in
