I've been wondering what to wear to the company Christmas party this year.  I was thinking something maybe in purple.  I wore black last year and I just looked so washed out, not to mention I was also covering my red with brown hair color.  I have a tradition Chinese dress in green and gold.  I tried on tonight but it just doesn't fit as well as I would like.

My big adventure lately has been arranging the company Christmas party for my administrator this year.  Our surgery center is in a very rich neighborhood and we have the party at the most exclusive country club in town.  I don't mean to brag, it's just that I find all the pomp and circumstance amusing.  I grew up in a small town where no one really had any money.

Friday I met with the event coordinator for "the club" as it is known.  I guess I must not have been like anything he sees very often.  He kept staring at my hair and taking any opportunity to comment on it.  I have to say sometimes I think there is a rule that once you reach a certain social status you have to go blonde.  Since I started this project I have seen so many blondes it's unreal.  The hair is fried but oh, it's blonde!  But I guess what has really been on my mind is his final question.  We were concluding our meeting and saying all the proper things like "Thank-you" and "I will be in touch" when suddenly out of the blue he said, "What are you doing this weekend?"

I smiled and said "I have my son this weekend so I will be at Chuck E Cheese and anywhere else he wants to go."  Yeah, yeah I know I made it sound like I'm divorsed when I am not but I didn't have my wedding ring on and (much to my mother's dismay) I will let a man believe what he wants about me if it will help me.  Then he asked if my son had red hair so we had a whole little conversation about my son before I left.

I've spent the whole weekend wondering if he was just being friendly or being 'friendly.'  He had to be atleast 20 years older than me.  I've been married six years so I can be a little slow to catch on sometimes.

My mother was trying to convince me to color my hair again tonight when we talked on the phone.  He he, fat chance!!  I happen to like older man anyway

Me and my favorite date   Anyone with little ones will recognize where this was taken.

What a boring day.  I need to print my list of things to be thankful for and read it on days like this.  Oct 11 is for thickening hair on the lunar haircare schedual.  Guess I will work on my hair tomorrow morning since I don't have to be to work until the afternoon.  I will be working in the GI Lab with a new doc I need to look cute because a) I won't be wearing a surgical cap and 2)cute doctor.  My co-worker spent all afternoon telling me how cute this doc was so I would work for her tomorrow and she could take the day off.  I would've done it anyway but it will be interesting to see if her idea of cute and mine are the same.

My hair has been really crazy lately.  It's been all big and well .  It's been  waving in all different directions and being flat in other places and no amount of curling iron will fluff up the flat spots.  Hairbands and clips have become my best friends.  My mother's theory is my hair is absorbing moisture from the air.  I don't know if that is true but it sounds as good as any theory.

You look so cute with your son! Heehee, I used to love going to Chuck E. Cheese when I was his age. 

Your son is gorgeous and so are you

hee what a cute pic!!  That reminds me, I need to go to Chuck E. Cheese.  I haven't been there in a long time!

It seems there is no end to the damage those texturizing shears did to my hair months ago.  I have been doing a quite a bit of trimming lately trying to get rid of my damaged hairs.  It is very easy to see where she hit with the shears.

My sister-in-law came with the family for a visit this weekend.  We took all the kids to see Dora the Explorer live on stage.  It was great.  I highly recommend it.

I mention my sister-in-law because she has a live in hair slave she calls Sergio (lucky girl)  Her husband (Sergio) colors her hair for her and whatever else she wants him to do.  He does a really great job--her hair was a fabulous chocolate color and cut in the cutest bob.  I think he missed his calling.  Sergio is a computer programmer in real life.  I wouldn't let honey anywhere near my hair and I think he is thankful for that

LOL! Heehee, it does sound like your sis-in-law has a hair slave (as opposed to a hair minion). She is indeed lucky.
