That’s right, with my new hair cut and blow dried style, vanity has reared its ugly head again. Thank goodness it didn’t rain today because I seriously don’t think that I would have walked Jack for his usual two miles. My hair is still beautifully straight and sleek and this is something that I just don’t have the patience to do myself, so I am trying to keep it going on its own for as long as possible. So please don’t rain for just a few more days, I actually look civilized. I can tell that when my hair goes back to its natural wild state, my friends kind of miss the put together look. I have always let them know that I am too lazy and my arms get too tired blow drying my hair straight. It takes at least forty to forty-five minutes for a stylist to do it, so you can imagine how long it would take me blow drying my own hair, essentially backwards.
Vanity might be too harsh. It is a good thing to have pride in your appearance. I suppose that I am owning up to the fact that I like it when my hair looks nice and I wish that it wasn’t such a long and tedious process to get my hair straight without cooking my hair with the amount of high heat necessary. I experience hair envy, there I said it, I have hair envy. I would love to have hair that was manageable and wouldn’t get all crazy,frizzy at the hint of humidity.
Other than that, I have had a nice day doing not much of anything except for walking Jack, vacuuming the pool and watching Sherlock on Netflix, the one with Benedict Cumberbatch, it is such a good series. I guess that’s why I settled on writing about a subject as shallow as my hair and my hair envy, I got nothing else swirling around in mind.

Tell me a woman who likes her own hair and I’ll show you a man 🙂
LOL!! Oh did I laugh. You’re right, I have only to look at my baby girl and all of her hair dying and straightening to see the truth of the statement. She was blessed with th most beautiful auburn wavy/curly that type that doesn’t frizz hair and she tortures it to no end to have something else. It’s our, I guess, female affliction or one of them at least. 😀
It is. And it doesn’t stop at the hair…the only feature about myself that I really like is my nose. Seriously. The rest, I make the best of; it’s all I can do.
Your nose is not the only lovely feature, your smile, your twinkly eyes and your laugh. My feature that I like is my eyes, I used to really like my lips but when I had my skin cancer operation, part of my top lip was a casualty so after that I resigned myself to being happy with the way things are and someone who laughs is always far more beautiful than someone who frowns all the time.
