Vacation! An Infrequent Haircut


I’ve been on vacation for a full day now, and it’s certainly been busy. We had originally planned on doing some travelling to farther away than just my home province, but things sadly fell through, so it’s looking like a bit of a stay-cation instead.

Yesterday, the parents wanted to see a concert in a nearby church by a band called The Once. Mother and I don’t really have the same kind of taste in music, so I wasn’t very excited about this. They turned out to be okay. Not really my cup of tea, but adequate, all the same. It was three people, a girl named Geraldine and two guys. Geraldine did most (all) of the singing, with the guys doing the instrumental work and background vocals. The guys had really great voices though, so I wish that they had a bigger part. Churches at night make me sleepy, so I was happy to get home and go to bed.

Today has been a little calmer. Driving around, doing a bit of sight-seeing. Then picking up some groceries. After that, I got a haircut. I never get haircuts, so this was a little exciting. Not really never, but it’s more like once every year or so. I wear it the same way that I’ve worn if for the past several years, which is just long, either with its natural texture or curled. Very simple in theory, but a little complicated in practice. I have to be able to wear it curly, straight, messy, or neat on any given day. I don’t like to be limited, so I tend to go with much unlimited hairstyles. Long, side bangs, nothing too drastic. It was in bad need of a trim though. I like to think that I take really good care of my hair, what with all the products and time I devote to it, but eventually, you still have to cut off the dead ends. The hairdresser did a good job of cleaning it up, and even showed me how to get a great Betty Page finger wave into it, so I can do a retro updo for every day. I’m excited. She kept commenting on how I have a lovely hair type, even though I beg to differ. I’m happy with it, though, and I’m sure it will debut in some photos soon! I’ll also do a post about my hair routine one of these days.

That’s about it. I’ll be back to work on Friday, but until then relaxing! How often do you get your hair cut? I get mine done so infrequently that I really don’t know how often is often enough for everyone else.
