I was going to bake a bundt cake (special secret family recipe) to take to work tomorrow, but my perm appointment ran longer than I expected, so I barely had time to write Christmas cards this evening. Maybe cake tomorrow night. . . .

I went to Gene Juarez for the first time, and it was quite an experience. I was pampered, fussed over (in a nice way) and made to feel like the most important person in the world. A vivacious young woman with a purple stripe in her hair described herself as a "fiber artist" and her work on my hair as "hair couture" and was so sincere and passionate about it, I couldn't help but take her seriously.

No one have ever used the word "couture" to refer to me or my personal style in any way, shape or form before. It was gratifying, even though there was a bit of silliness to it.

The important thing is that the perm is really nice: big, soft ringlets. It's very romantic and beautiful.

Unfortunately, all the Christmas cards I wrote this evening were for work. I have not done any to actually mail, which means that it looks like I'm just going to miss this year. *sigh*

True. And I've always felt like being a student gave me license to be late with my holiday cards.

I've always remembered a belated birthday card I sent someone one year: I know this card is late, but I figure I card from me is worth waiting for!

You did the romantic curly hair after your party and thereby denied an appreciative audience?

Hmph.

Believe me, I wanted to do it before the party, but there was the small matter of finding 3+ hours outside of my work day that matched openings in the salon's schedule.

I know how you feel about the card. This is the first year I have ever actually wanted to send cards. I even bought them, but Jess has my little black book and she wont be back until New Years Eve, so I feel that I might miss getting them out in any way on time.
