Man, I miss the salon!

I got a $50 dollar gift card to a salon for Christmas and I've spent months thinking about how I wanted to cut my hair. I finally got it done this morning and it was so nice! It took almost 2 hours. I got my hair washed and she massaged my scalp and then she cut and styled and cut some more and blow-dryed and curled and I even got my eyebrows waxed! I was amazed at how cheap the haircut was too. Only $35 dollars, the wax was 15 and I gave her a 10 dollar tip. I'm thinking I could get used to this nice treatment. It's been years since I've stepped foot into a nice salon and honestly, I was surprised at how cheap it was! I'm used to $65 dollar haircuts I guess. Here's a pic. Sorry if the picture is huge...I tried to resize. By the way - I've lost 11 pounds on my new 'extreme healthfood' diet. I'm feeling fantastic! The money department isn't going the greatest right now though. I'm in a phase where I don't even want to look at my bank account. DH's checks have been small lately and I've had to cancel a lot of piano lessons due to sick kids and snowstorms! Also, somebody took out a bill twice, I almost had a heart attack! Luckily, I had enough savings to draw from so I didn't get a bounced check. Dumb people!

Awwww, you are so pretty! Nice hair! Does your little guy ever have your nose!

Sounds like you are doing just fine in my opinion!

It's nice to get pampered, especially when you're losing weight! Glad you had a good time!

That's hilarious! What a small world! I went to Souhegan, class of '97. I don't recognize your nieces name, but I'm sure I'd recognize her by face. I was the class musician so I was well-known and a lot of people saw me do concerts at school. I was in band, chorus and did track as well.

I'm trying to get that big picture of myself off my profile now!

That is why gift cards like that are so nice!!! You never want to spend the money but it is great to have one.
