Day 290 - Delusions

So we went to Billy Elliott and I told Little T we would get dressed up and go out to a nice dinner beforehand.  So I had bought a new dress had my feet and nails done and put on some make up.  I looked in the mirror and thought I look really good,   I had my hair up and I haven't had my hair up in years because basically I thought I looked like crap with my hair up, but for the first time I didn't feel that way.  However LT thought I would look better with my hair straightened and down.

When she was done she started jumping up and down screaming I looked beautiful and I should *ALWAYS* do my hair that way.  She pushed me in front of the mirror and stared back horrified.  I have not cut my hair for about 3 or 4 years saying I wasn't going to cut my hair until I lost the weight so what lay in front of me was stringy uneven hair with my gray standing out like a sore thumb.  See I got all the curls out she happily told me.  But I like my curls I whined silently to myself because my hair doesn't look as damaged that way.


So, yes, my hair is uneven, and I have lost a lot of hair in the last year.  It has come off like a dogs in spring, and I have been worrying that I may get a bald spot, but I knew I would get it fixed when I did lose the weight.  I am beginning to think I can't wait til I lose all the weight, I may have to get it cut sooner.  But I do have to tell you that I am not letting Little T anywhere near me with a straighten iron again.

  2. Ack Ack - a soldering iron, yes, but a straightening iron?????!!!!! LT has a straightening iron??????

    T3 looked FABULOUS & always looks good in her "Lauren Bacall" hair down motif. My only change would have been to break the straightening iron & eliminate the little pigtails that the devil spawn added.

    Billy Elliot was super & dinner included self control for all!
