Hair Tip for the ladies (and men if you condition)

I got my hair cut at Great Clips on Saturday. It had been forever since a cut...last summer to be exact when Emily Anne cut it before we moved. At places like Great Clips (for those of you who have never been), you have to request a wash. They pretty much just do a cut and it's only $14. I will admit, I am not too proud of my hair to go to Great Clips. In fact, I would have gone to SuperCuts but Great Clips was closer to my house. I haven't spent money on getting anything done to my hair since I sold ads for the radio and called on hair salons. Unfortunately, in sales, I had to spend money to make money. Considering how much I paid for that haircut and the commission I made from the sale, it wasn't worth it at all. So, I even felt bad about spending $14 on a hair cut but I don't know anyone here willing to cut hair for free. (No, Babe, you can't cut my hair.)

Anyway, to the point of this post: my stylist (I use that term loosely, I received no styling, only cutting) was Yuri. He was not of any decent other than white male and I was suprised that was his name. He was, however, obviously from New York from the sound of his accent. Anyway, he told me that in order to get rid of my many split ends, do this:

• Put a hair towel in the microwave for about 10 minutes (This seems like an extremely long amount of time for anything in the microwave, but we'll see)
• Get in the shower
• Shampoo normally
• Get out of shower and towel dry hair to about 45% dry (He didn't give me a method of determining the percentage of dryness, I guess I will just give it my best feel)
• Put in conditioner(He said not to use cheap conditioner and I'm like, "I came here because you only charge $14 for a hair cut. Do you really think I am going to spend a lot of money on hair products?")
• Get towel out of microwave and wrap around hair
• Keep on for 15 minutes
• Rinse hair with cool water

He said do this every 2 weeks. Impressive, I know that my male "stylist" at Great Clips knew this...I'll let you know when I try it.

No, I don't have a before and after picture because it's not a dramatic cut. (Well, Tammy noticed yesterday at church, so maybe it just looks better than it did)

For all you FRIENDS fans out there...

Anyone remember this scene?:

Caitlin: One, uh, vegetarian pizza. That's $12.15.

Ross: Oh. Uh, by the way, if it makes it feel any better, I happen to like 8-year-old boys.

Caitlin: What?

Ross: No, I mean, uh, uh... no, no... the, uh, your hair. Before--your hair. You said you thought that your hair looked like an 8-year-old's, and I'm... I'm just saying I like it. The hair.

Caitlin: Oh. Thanks.

Ross: You understand I don't actually like 8-year-old boys.

Caitlin: Y'know, all I'm looking for is the money.

then...

Ross: (He opens the door while faking a laugh.) Hey! Oh, we-we can't keep eating like this.

Caitlin: It's uh, $12.50.

Ross: Okay, (gets the money) so, do you make the pizzas in one of those uh, wood-burning ovens?

Caitlin: No actually umm, I think that they're umm, gas.

Ross: Gas? Wow! Intense.

Chandler: (To Monica) If this is the way all the Gellers flirt, we don't have a problem.

Ross: (to Caitlin) Hey uh, y'know that smell gas has?

Caitlin: Yeah.

Ross: They put that in.

Caitlin: What?!

Ross: The gas is odorless, but they add the smell so you know when there's a leak.

Caitlin: (getting more desperate to leave) Well okay!

Ross: A lot of other gas smells...

Chandler: Oh the humanity.

Ross: Meth-methane smells...

Caitlin: Y'know what umm, actually I, I really, I should go.

Ross: Oh but I-I-I haven't paid you yet!

Caitlin: Y'know what? That's okay, you guys have ordered so many that this one is on me! (Runs for her life.)

Well, a little FYI...the company I work for (Honeywell Enraf) makes the machine that "puts that in there"...the smell. Ladies and gents: The Microdose Injector

Bravos? What is going on?

We went to the Opening Night game for the Braves last night. We had a blast but the Braves were depressing. Tom Glavine pitched, which was awesome but after he left the game, everything started falling apart. They were ahead for the first part of the game and then Pittsburg scored a bunch of runs and Atlanta was down 9-4. It was the 8th inning, it was very cold and it was 10:15 pm. Chipper Jones made an awful throw to first and we jetted. We rode MARTA there so when we got back on, we listened to it on the radio and low-and-behold...the Braves tied it up!!! We couldn't believe that we left. I always said I would never leave a game early just because my team was losing. (However, in my defense, it was a work/school night and it takes an hour to get home from Turner Field.) So, anyway, we listen to the game on the train and then in the car and we get home and the game is still going!!! We watched the end of the game and the Braves finally lost in the 12th inning. So, needless to say, I am glad we left because we would have gotten home at 1:00am and I had to be at work at 8:00. We are going again on Saturday, hopefully they will improve!

Yunel Escobar was the best player last night...

On a side note, we kept attracting the most obnoxious people last night. We sat beside this guy that just got out of "the hospital" (I think that is a substitute for "place the crazy people go" or "prison). He was definitely excited to be at the game but he had the weirdest, deepest voice ever. He screamed the craziest stuff to random people. It was one of those moments where everyone around keeps looking at each other uncomfortably but everyone is afraid to say anything to him at the same time. I tried to get a picture of him (he didn't have very many teeth) but we were sitting in a position where it would have been too obvious...rats!
