Wow! Can't believe March has already arrived. So much happens each week that I could share, but I will try to just give you some highlights!
This week was my first trip to the hair salon. Those gray roots just had to have attention. I was not sure what to expect, but I found a Redkin Salon at the mall close to the school where we work. I needed to get it cut, some color and some highlights. I sat down in the chair and this 20 something boy came over to find out what I wanted done. He made some suggestions and I just kept telling myself that it really doesn't matter if it doesn't turn out--it will be ok. Another young man came over and the two of them starting doing the highlights with the pieces of foil. They said it would go faster if there were two of them, but I am thinking, "What if I have a different style of highlights on each side of my head!" So...they decided that the one boy would do the back and other boy the two sides. After that they both put color on it. When it was time to sit and marinate for 30 minutes the one boy left. The great surprise of the evening was the head and neck massage that you get while you are getting your shampoo. They even scrub your ears and then very carefully dry them out for you. When he hoisted this fanny pack full of scissors around his waist when it was time for the haircut, I got a little nervous. So...when it was all said and done, he did a great job and my hair turned out nice.
This is the first time I have watched American Idol from the beginning. Mainly I watch it because there are not other options!! The bummer is that it starts at 10:00 and gets over at 11:30. So...because I get up at 5:30 I cannot stay up for the whole thing. So if anyone else is watching it this season....who are you rooting for? Some of you country folk probably love Scotty!
We are going tonight with a group of teachers and students to go see True Grit. It is in the part of the city called Orchard Road where all of your high end shops are. I call it the Rodeo Drive of Singapore. Probably won't catch me shopping much there. It is a hopping place with lots of restaurants and theatres and malls and shops. It is where I went to the fish spa last week.
Chris just ordered tickets today for us to go to Vietnam over spring break. We will be flying into Ho Chi Minh city and then we will take a train from there to Hanoi. Chris (our resident history buff) will be planning this trip based on some historical sights he wants us to see. I, on the other hand, hope to learn just enough Vietamese to know what the nail girls in California are talking about when I get my nails done!! I know, really deep!!!
Hope this finds all of you doing well!
