Au Naturel (#3)

No.  Not that kind!  But, wow, would that make your morning at work interesting!  Nope, it's my #3 on the 30 Before 30 List.  (Aren't I just knocking them off left and right?! Low hanging fruit...)

Anyway, it is official as of my hair appointment on Thursday.  I am now completely dye-free.  Bonus: I love my natural hair color -- especially after my trip to Pensacola and the caramel highlights came out.  I really miss the blond.  BUT I will not miss the money I've spent on the highlights and the touchups.  Yay for being the way I was born and economical to boot.

Really wish E and I lived together! (just for the blog though) ;)

This haircut almost didn't happen - twice.  Since I just came back from vacation, things have been a little slow at work. I also knew my partner would be at a meeting across town in the early afternoon.  I should be able to take 45 minutes and get a (much needed) haircut, right?  Wrong.

First attempt at going to my hair place (which is a mere 3 blocks from my office, mind you):  While in the elevator, I get an email from my partner (same one from this conversation).  I get off on the ground floor and get right back on to go back up to the 47th floor.  I take care of the task in the email and at the same time push back my hair appointment 15 minutes, just in case.

Second attempt (10 minutes after I complete the task and on track to be about 5 minutes early for my appointment): This time I make it out of the building and onto the street.  I make it one block and get another email.  Again, I go back into the building and take the elevator all the way back up to 47.

Third attempt (running 5 minutes late for my appointment): I make a break for it!  And it all works out.  Whew.  I think my hairdresser saw how stressed I was.  She gave me an extra long scalp massage during my shampoo for which I am so thankful.
