st baldrick's was friday. it was a great and overwhelming experience. there were lots of people. lots of new people. lots of noise, lots of things going on. lots of excitement. it was kind of a stimulus overload for me. i'm really glad i participated tho. i am really proud of how well our team did (over $36,000 raised, 9 bald heads, and 22 inches of hair donated -- wow!), and how brave everyone on the team who shaved their heads are. people have really cute heads! who knew? it was a little disappointing that people who were supposed to show up either didn't or bailed early. but, what can you do? see previous post re: people sucking.
i am also relieved to be rid of my hair. i donated two ponytails of 11 inches each. lol, it feels a little like missing a body part sometimes. i'd developed this habit when i don't know what to do with my hands where i stand with my hands behind my back and tug on or play with the ends of my hair. now when i reach back, there's nothing there. i wonder what replacement fidgety behavior i'll come up with.
yesterday, i spent 3 hours at mario tricoci. i got a facial, which was awesome. then i got my hair cut. someone else washed my hair for me for the first time in over 2 years! it was heavenly. i love the lady who did my hair. she didn't really cut much -- she kept the length the same, but added some layers. however, she did a fantabulous job styling my hair. my curls have never, ever looked so good. i will be returning to her for sure. then, either because it came with the facial or because i was a new customer, i got a free makeup consultation. so basically, i got a makeover yesterday, lol. it was nice. on my way home from the salon, i think i decided that i prefer people i pay to do things for me so much better than all other people. they do what i want, and make me look pretty and feel good. what's not to love?
