new hair & new earrings
Well, I got my hair done this morning for the Pocono-Lehigh Romance Writers workshop I'm doing this weekend. It needed it, believe me. I've let it go since, I think, October, so I had roots & little gray shoots (shh...I'm too young to have gray hair, I swear!), & raggedy layers galore. Now, it's all nice & trimmed, & I went with a brownish-auburn color...very similar to my natural brunette, but with a hint of red.The girl who does my hair also told me she thinks I might have a bit of a nickel infection in one of my newer ear piercings. One of the holes has been giving me some trouble the last couple weeks, getting sore & a little swollen, & she thinks I need some nickel-free earrings. So I might actually run to town now to see if I can find a pair. Hey, the sooner I try the new earrings, the sooner I might be able to get the soreness to clear up, right?
As long as I'm there, I'm also going to look for one of those foam sock type things that you slip over the end of a hairdryer to diffuse the air. I don't know about you, but if I dry my hair without a diffuser, I end up looking like I've been making out with an electrical outlet. :-P
So that's my plan for today--take the new hair out for a stroll, get new earrings that hopefully won't cause puffiness & infection, & try to cut down on frizzy, "electrified" hair. Wish me luck. :-)
