So I woke up on the 4th and I had had it! I couldn't stand my hair. It was in desperate need of a cut, and I had to have some color. It's funny how you can hate it everyday, but just deal, until one day you snap...and this was the day.
So to make a long story short, I got my hair colored and cut. However, this is not the reason I posted this blog (although I woke up the next day and was happy with what I saw in the mirror, so WOOT!). It was what happened AFTER the hair appt. that was the true Kate moment.
After reading Kimber's blog, I had decided to get the hair products that she mentioned to see if they would tame my mane. The hairdresser tells me my total (including products) and I wince a bit, but look at my handy tip card to see what 20% of that total would be ( I like to give good tips so they always treat my hair nice :). I write the tip amount and as I'm signing my name I realize that I tipped on not only a haircut and color, but on $30 worth of hair products too. However, it's too late to change my tip because she has already seen the amount, not to mention it would be a little tacky to scribble it out and write a smaller amount. So I leave it. Now my hairdresser either thinks I am an extremely generous person...or an extremely stupid person. Good goin' Kate.
As I'm driving home, I realize what is bugging me. You see $20 isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things right? But now I have set this ridiculous precedence that I don't want to be held to. I'm in a lose lose situation. I wont ever tip that well again, and when I don't, she will realize (if for some reason she thought I was the generous person rather than the stupid person) that the last time, I was just stupid.
I wish I could minimize these Kate moments, but alas I think I am doomed. :)

These are the Kata life moments I want to hear about! Don't worry...I did something similar the last time I went to get my haircut. And it is time for another one and I keep putting it off.
P.S. (I don't know how to edit my comments.) I just wanted to say that I would love to see a picture of the new hair. :)
I love it! Those are the moments that keep me smiling. I did something similar yesterday and said "what a kate moment". (It snowed yesterday so it was all a blanket of white when Dragon and I got home. As we walk toward the house Dragon stops to pick up the mail. I wait for him and look down at the ground and say "there's another set of footprints on the ground - I wonder who would only go this far and not to the door." Dragon started to laugh as he turned with the mail in hand and said "the mailman?" I laughed so hard I almost slipped in the snow. I miss those funny times.
I took the picture that is at the top of my blog yesterday. I know, my hair doesn't look that different. I only cut half an inch or so off, and highlighted the top. The lighting isn't so sweet in that picture, but I took it myself. :)
