I got really brave and got my hair cut and colored today. I gotta tell ya... these people have an entirely different idea of what "appointment" means. I had a 1 pm appointment. I didn't eat lunch beforehand, thinking I would be out of there by 2:30 tops. By 2:45, I still was waiting, and getting a little antsy. (BIGThanks to my dearest Jessica for keeping me company while waiting.) Everytime I asked if he was almost done, "oh yes... just 5 more minutes". Since when does 5 minutes mean 2 hours??? Anyway, I finally got in the chair at 2:45 and didn't get out of there until after 5 pm. Needless to say I was ready to eat a horse, but at least I'd look good doing it! I went for a new color scheme this time, lightened things up a bit, and am now a light brown with copper and blonde highlights. Love it! It was time for a change - gotta go with the seasons, dontcha know.
On another note, got asked out by a very odd German fellow tonight. He's in my salsa group, and has been struggling to even keep the beat, much less actually dance. I guess I'd done or said something last week that lightened his mood when he was really having a bad day, so today he brings me a book of Victorian poetry and asked me to dinner. Hmmm.... I managed to tell him I was married (aparently to a handsome fella in Indonesia, to borrow someone else's little white lie) and wiggled out of there early before he had a chance to push the issue. Evidently that wasn't a very smart move either since most people here are working away from their families, telling someone you're married doesn't mean squat - it's almost more of an invitiation (shows what I know). The worst part... I don't even know his name.... does that make me a horrible person? I so don't want to hurt his feelings, but I don't want to go out of pity either. Arg! Help!
