Do I even admit this?

… but first I’ll show you the haircut we discussed yesterday (thank you SO much, Stephen, your tips are wonderful and right on, and you are so generous to give us all so much information). 

 I love my stylist, she is a beautiful, spirited, kindhearted young thing, not to mention talented with hair and color.  We discussed some important stuff about hair  and a certain celebrity’s hair style, a photo I had in my possession and my reluctance to chop too much of it off even though as we age, most of us can’t really wear the long hair we lust after and pull it off gracefully.  

 This is what she came up with, and I walked out of there one happy girl.   I have naturally shiney hair, but it’s lost a little luster as I’ve aged.    A glaze gives hair a beautiful sheen and enhances and deepens your natural color, and that’s what we’ve done here.   This was a real simple blowout, too, just took a few minutes with a big round brush, no flat iron necessary. An easy cut that I can maintain.  For a girl like me who has little patience for standing in a bathroom primping, that’s really important.

 
The before shot below shows you the difference in keeping a good cut and its layers
trimmed.. the face framing gives you a face lift!
So I’m going to keep this new layered look neat,  a trim every few months
because seriously, that’s an easy face lift, no?
 
 

You’re probably wondering what my guy thinks of it, because after all he is the one who told me it looked ratty and needed something.   Well… here-in lies the rub.   Just before I went to the salon, I visited with a friend’s dog to give it a potty break while it’s family is at work and school.  While there, I left my car keys on the bumper of the Jeep.  I have no idea why.  Just hush.

After the dog walk, I hopped back in the Jeep and headed down the road a few miles, to where said husband was working on a job site. We chatted, he had to go to a meeting, I had a hair appointment.

 I start the Jeep…. no I don’t.  

What the….?????  No keys.

 Then I remember… OMG THE BUMPER!!… You see.. those STUPID %&$@# auto start key fobs… will still start your car even if your keys are outside the vehicle on the back bumper!!!!… hence, I got to my next destination.  My keys, the ones on the bumper?  Did not.  

  The husband had to go searching for my keys along the route I took while I got my haircut, then he went and got my OTHER set of keys and brought them back to me at the Jeep location.  For the past few hours I have been searching for said keys, and I’m sure you can guess that outcome.

As for my haircut?  He could give a flying F at this point, the cold truth be told.  I just called Jeep dealer and this haircut will cost me about $750. when all is said and done. 

Ummm… but I love it?…..
