Today I treated myself to the beauty salon for a haircut and some color. I was really excited about getting new color because I have been walking around with my prominent white stripe at my roots from the last coloring just this past March, boy does my hair grow fast! I never noticed before, but now that my white hairs are coming out in force, my hair growth is highly noticeable. Oh well, what can you do? I am very happy with the color and the hair cut. Sarah, the stylist, did an excellent job blowing my curly locks smooth and straight. I’ll be sleek and shiny until the rain gets me, which apparently with the weather report, will be tomorrow.

I tried to do the selfie, I haven’t gotten the hang of the eyes and where to look, the youngin’s know what they’re doing, I’m still fumbling trying to make sure that my fingers don’t get in the way.

Moment of kindness

Describe a moment of kindness, between you and someone else — loved one or complete stranger.

The relationship between myself and my mother-in-law was complicated; we got along most of the time but often it was due to my natural tendency to back off and back down. My mother-in-law was very similar to the character Marie in "Everybody loves Raymond" and I was a quieter Debra. However we did share many moments of kindness. One example was when I was living in the "house from hell" three houses down from her and when I was stuck without running water for a week and a half, she came over everyday with four or five 2 liter bottles of water to help out. My two babies were fine because my oldest was a toddler and my baby girl was actually a baby, so they were in diapers and were drinking milk. I needed the water to force flush the toilet from time to time and she was very kind and helpful, providing me with those bottles every day. That week and a half without water was a very long week and a half indeed, but knowing that she was there with her water made it bearable.
