I have new hair!!!

*dances*

*remembers that squirrels can't dance and stops abruptly*

Spent most of Saturday at the salon, getting facialed and waxed and colored and cut.

Behold the new me!

My hair is now a super-dark red, very close to black with red highlights that you can really only see in the sun.

I'm wearing black cherry wischniak soda on my head. *grins maniacally*

I love it!

It's funny . . . I wore my hair long and unchanging for seven years. Once I nerved myself up and cut it off, I started screwing around with it like crazy. Every three or four months, I have to have a new color or a new style or both.

This weekend, I opted for "both".

And I had my eyebrows waxed, because that's ever so much easier than plucking for hours . . . and the salon was having a special on facials, so I had that done, which nearly put me to sleep, it was so relaxing.

I could get addicted to facials in a totally scary way.

Kristin got a "Chinese Herbology Wrap" and I tried to talk her into a brow wax, but she chickened out -- which is really funny, considering her high tolerance for pain.

On the other hand, I have no pain threshold of which to speak, and you'd think that if I could put up with the discomfort of a brow wax, anyone could do it.

Snicker.

After six hours at the salon, I was wiped out, and when I got home, I ended up falling asleep on the sofa. I woke up four hours later with that icky groggy feeling, but I played with Truffle for a while and then toddled upstairs to bed.

When I got up the next morning, I realized that the reason I'd been so tired was that I was coming down with a cold.

Yuck!

I spent most of yesterday coughing, sniffling, and sneezing before venturing out to the Indian buffet and stuffing myself on the spiciest food I could swallow.

Then my mom and I went home and watched "Seabiscuit" and I was in bed before nine.

And when I woke up today, I felt much better!

I figure on another dose of Indian food tonight, plus a bunch of vitamins and another good night's sleep, and I should be back up to snuff.

I have to clean Truffle's cage tonight, but that shouldn't take too long. I bought her a hamster ball to play in while I wash out her cage. I hope she likes it -- she could use the exercise. Plenty of food and water has done wonders for her size . . . she's normal-dwarf-hamster-size, now. No longer the runt of the litter!

I'm really glad I got a hamster. I needed a pet, something to cuddle and dote upon, something cute and furry to play with. And she's pretty low-maintenance, which is good.

Worked at the mall this weekend. I won't be doing that much longer, as I suspect that starting school will devour what little free time I have, and I won't have the energy for even four hours a week at the store.

It's just as well, because all I really do is reinvest my paycheck in the clothes . . . but I sure will miss that employee discount.

Sigh.

*wanders off to do actual work*
