my new nickname
Mar. 13th, 2008 11:19 amSpent a few hours at the hair salon last night getting my hair done--the last (and first) time I was there, one of the senior stylists (possibly an owner) said that my long red hair reminded her of a mermaid. Last night she saw me and said "How's our little mermaid?" So apparently a) I look like a Disney character and b) I have a new nickname. I don't mind :-)
Hair came out a bit darker than we would have liked; it's still a lovely color, just not my usual flaming orange, more of a copper. Next time we'll get it right. I'm really happy to have the ends trimmed though, I hadn't realized how raggedy it had gotten. Saw Mishak and belly dancer friend Polina at the salon, yay for extended social groups! Also I walked to the salon from Copley, and while my foot was not crazy about the cobblestone and brick sidewalks, it held up ok.
Tomorrow is the big event for Paisley--I think everything is pretty much under control at this point. I am picking up some table cloths tonight and forgot to see how many I might already have at home (in addition to ones being loaned), but I suppose I can always return any extras. The last time I was at Playtime I saw they have lightweight dry erase boards, basically heavy cardboard with a dry erase coating, so I think I will pick up a couple of those for signage. They'll come in handy for other events as well.
Watched Top Chef--looks like an interesting bunch, though nearly all of them need better haircuts. I think the person who got booted was booted not just because of the food but also because that person looked profoundly uncomfortable with the knowledge that two contestants were a lesbian couple. Take that, intolerant person!
