Normally a hair appt leaves me happy and fresh and the self-esteem on the high side.

Not today.

I left the place on an ok note and went shopping at the mall for stuff. The more changing rooms I was in, the more I hated my new hair. Hated.

I was going for the brown with a coppery tone to it. This shit is purple. blech. And there's still some sections (spotty, of course) where my natural hair color show through. As in, not all dyed.

Jillith was not a happy camper. Jillith does not want to get married with purple hair. Jillith is just not that punk anymore. And Jillith definitely does not want to get married in spottily dyed purple hair.

I got home quite upset. Tim snuggled with me on the hammock and finally convinced me to call the place and ask for a fix. They wanted to fit me in tomorrow afternoon, but my bachelorette party is all day tomorrow. I insisted on a morning appointment. They finally managed to squeeze me in at 10:30 tomorrow morning.

I hate being that person. The one who isn't just happy with what they get. I mean, I'm not that picky of a person. I've gotten my hair chopped off once by a drunk girl at a party with dull scissors. I'm not kidding either. And I was happy with it!!! But I know a tear fell in that hammock when I was telling Tim that I didn't want my wedding pictures with me and badly dyed purple hair.

I am not looking forward to tomorrow. It's never fun (for me, anyways) to tell a person they fucked up and to fix it. And it's worse when you have to tell them to their face and then you and your entire wedding party is coming back the next week to the same person for your wedding hair style. Ick.

But seriously. When a person spends $120 on hair, products, and tip, the damn dye job shouldn't have missed spots. So that's the main thing. The purple hair will just have to be fixed as well.

Urgh, that sucks.

Yeah. But all better now. The newly dyed color looks much much much much better and I didn't have to pay to get it redone. So I feel so much better now.

Whew! The other option would be to insist everyone else at the wedding dye their hair funky colors.

I wonder what my manager would say if I showed up to work with blue hair?

Have fun with the ladies. I'll be sucking pneumonia out of babies lungs with a tiny catheter, and thinking of y'all the whole time.

*crosses fingers* good luck getting hair you love for your wedding!

Thanks! And I bet those pneumatic babies are awfully cute...

Again I state my thanks for being a guy.

Hey - at least you'll have a story to tell on your 25th wedding anniversary!

I just hope there aren't any "And my good friend Tim got drunk and left his pants at ________________" stories. That would just be embarrassing.

Oh, don't worry. We'll have disposable cameras there so any of those stories will also come with visual PROOF! They'll go right next to the pictures of my 45-yr-old cousin Noreen's cleavage. Cuz that's what she does at weddings with disposable cameras.
