Random Thoughts

I done. Through with it. No more coloring my hair by myself. Most of the time it ends up okay, but the other day was horrific. Well I’m not covering my head with a paper bag so it can’t be that bad.  I’ve tried saving money by doing my hair myself and than prolonging the time between haircuts.  It’s kind of hard for me to justify spending $80 on a cut and color when I’m on a tight budget.  The last time I went to a salon the girl charged me $130. Crazy. I can see if I went to some high end salon, but this was a salon in a fitness gym.
The last box I bought was Loreal Excellence To-Go 10 minutes hair color. Worse mistake ever. You’re only suppose to have this color on your head 10 minutes max or else your end result is different than the box. If you’re like me you can’t even get the color on your head in five minutes. Especially with how long my hair is. I was racing to get the color on my hair evenly and saturated. The product is so thick it’s hard to get it through your hair. Unless you have short hair and are expertly trained at coloring hair I would stay away. Sorry I’m not posting any pictures. I don’t want to have further humiliate myself on the Internet.
So Happy Earth Day. I’m currently watching an imax movie The Living Sea. Incredible and yet scary. Here’s a bit of information about me….I’m afraid of the Sea/Ocean. Any large body of water actually. I can handle a lake or a pond, but if I can’t see where it starts and where it ends I don’t want to go near it. Freaks me out. I can recall when I was ten standing on the deck of the Queen Mary and looking out at the pacific ocean. My hands started to get sweaty and I wouldn’t go near the railing. I really can’t explain it. Just another weird thing about me.
So a couple of weeks ago my ward was split in half.  For me it really wasn’t a big deal. For some it was like the red sea hard parted and we would never be able to see each other ever again. I was sad because I was released of my primary calling. Ah man. The primary is the best place to be. We had an activity this past Saturday to get to know everyone in the ward. I got upset a fellow in our ward. His wife was suppose to give the lesson in primary last Sunday but became ill with pneumonia. When I saw him at the activity on Saturday I introduced myself and asked how his wife was doing. Instead of giving me an update on her condition he just said in a very rude tone, “She’s here you can ask her yourself.” I thought to myself sorry for being concerned about your wife’s condition and for bothering you about it. I just shook it off and moved right on to introducing myself to the next person. Overall though the activity was really fun. We played games and were able to learn a lot of random information about everyone. Change is good sometimes. We need to remind ourselves that.
