my mom and i had breakfast at ihop. i know it was free breakfast day at denny's and there's is one right down the road, but i have always been an ihop fan myself. plus, we did happen to pass that denny's (at two different times) and the line was mega long (both times). i hate waiting in lines and the fact i was pretty hungry was not going to make me love it more. ah, but i did learn it will be free pancake day at ihop on the 24th...though, if it was free hashbrown day i'd be more than down for that. i also ended up renting nick & norah's infinite playlist from the red box at wal-mart. i've be wanting to watch it since it came out but never got the chance. i did enjoy it, like i had thought i would. omg, the awkwardness between nick and norah was pretty much perfect, too cute. i've had those kinds of awkward moments, i sort of actually like being in those moments...in fact, i miss it. anyway, i now want to buy this movie...and want to read the book. i then went to work for 3 hours and taped grids onto vases. it was nice. i had my own little set-up out back. though, it was pretty hot out, nice but hot. oh and i also bought myself a new curling iron. now if only i can wake myself up every morning to actually curl my hair.
i went and got a haircut today! finally, my hair was in bad shape. my reason for waiting so long was twofold - 1. i'm trying to grow it out and 2. i didn't know where to go. well, the place that my boss goes to was having this event called a "cut-a-ton" where you give a donation that would go towards a breast cancer foundation. so not only was it for a great cause but they were only asking for a minimum of $10. the place is called the color lounge. i really liked the look of the place. very modern and clean. open spaces with lots of whites, blacks, and chrome. and they had those hanging hair dryers that when you pull them down they turn on. very cool. well, like i said i'm still trying to grow my hair out so i didn't want to cut too much. my stylist told me about this spray called CAT that's good if i wanted to grow my hair out. let's see if that works out. at one point she asked if i colored my own hair. i was ashamed to admit to it. but she said it was a really nice color and even asked what the name was. i couldn't remember it, though i knew it had an interesting name. of course, once i was out the door i totally remembered, disco inferno, how could i forget that. haha. anyway, i thought it turned out great especially for $10.
i've been trying to grow it out, for quite some time now. but i always end up getting bored with it and cutting it. i guess it's a good thing i don't have a hairdresser here yet otherwise i probably would have cut it by now. though it is getting to a point were it's growing out and i don't really like how it looks. it probably could use a trim.
anyway, since i can't cut it, i did the other thing i do when i get bored, i bought a box of hair dye. it never turns out exactly how i want it but i don't mind much. it's just a quick fix to cure my boredom for the meantime.
i never get too extreme with my hairstyles but i've a few things to it. it's been straight, wavy, curly, i've had bangs, i grew them out, i've dyed it, i've cut it. i was looking through some photos from a year or 2 back and saw some of the different ways i've had my hair.
here's a mini hair timeline:
i use to like to have my hair staight so i would either use a straightener or i would get my hair chemically straightened.
when i had my hair straight, i liked having bangs. this was probably the longest my hair had been in awhile.
then i decided i liked having wavy hair. and i also ended up cutting it shorter.
then i got stressed out and though a new look was the answer. i wish i kept this look for a little longer.
i ended up dying my hair purple. too bad it didn't last that long. and it looked so gross when it started to fade.
after that mess of both the hair and a part of my life, i went back to a more natural color.
then i got bored again and added a little streak in my hair using some jamie's extra dye. i don't think you can really see it in the photo though. i really liked it. i kind of wish i had kept it.
this is when my hair look likes now. the name of the dye was disco inferno, i kid you not. it suppose to be red-ish i guess. it's kind of like a rusted red-brown on me. the color's ok. i'll get use to it...or i'll end up changing it.
till later!
