I told a bloggity friend of mine who lives in Idaho that I was going to be going up to Spudland to have my hair done. This was her reply:
Are.you.insane?
Maybe. Let me explain.
I haven’t been to my stylist in 6 months to save money for my trip. I have felt scabbier and scabbier, but I know it will be worth it when I’m actually walking on Celtic soil. Since I didn’t want to totally frighten everyone, I knew that I had to have something done to my hair before I leave.
My lovely friend, Mary Ellen has a daughter (Davian) who just so happens to be a hair stylist. She would give me a big price break and Mary Ellen would split gas with me and get her hair done, too. My friend, Erin decided to have her hair done as well, since she lived in the vicinity. That vicinity is Idaho.
Since Jonathan wanted Christopher to go with him on “Father and Son” activities and James was with his father, we decided to make a day of it. I haven’t seen Erin in forever, and she’s one of my oldest friends. We met on the Big Toy in when I was in the 2nd grade, and she was in the 3rd. When I skipped 3rd grade, we ended up having 4th grade together. Cool.
I love Erin. Who wouldn’t love someone who flies the Scottish flag and owns a can of “Dharma Initiative” Chili???
I told her that totally think that she should just have her garage door spray painted with the flag of Scotland like in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. Hey, she lives in Idaho. She could totally get away with it.
It was a good thing that we decided to do this. We.looked.terrible.
It was decided that red is a good color for me. Since I’ve been pretty muted lately, we went really bold. I figure that this way it will be easier for Michelle to find me if I get lost in the crowds of Trafalgar Square. :) 
It was a very long day (On no sleep for me) but hey, Erin had a totally comfy couch, so I was good sleeping while everyone else was finished. 
I think everyone turned out great. Davian did a super job. If you’re in the Idaho Falls area and want her info, just let me know.
Gotta motor. Packing to do!!!

Phew. I thought you were going to have super poof hair and bangs with maybe a perm thrown in. You look hot!
Cute hair, Loralee! Bon Voyage! Have tons of fun and post lots of pictures when you return!
By the way – I drove through Logan a couple of weeks ago (no time to stop, unfortunately, but I thought of you!) … and I fell in love with it. What a gorgeous place you live in!
The can of Darhma initiative chili is cool. Where did she get it? I have a brother who is a huge “Lost” fan.
I really like the hair. You do look good in red, it brings out your eyes. You should fit in in Scotland.
It looks amazing and I love it. Red definitely suits you. Plus, I love the title of the post – it was definitely worth being able to write that.
Looks great! Maybe I should make a trip to that stylist…
Have a wonderful vacation. Can you blog from there? Stay safe! Don’t barf on Scotland…
Fantastic hair!
P.S.–Your friend Erin looks like Murron in Braveheart.
Hot!
1- I would LOVE Dharma anything! I love LOST!
2- For goodness sakes, stop defending/making fun of Idaho! It is a nice state and Idaho Falls is a great little town. Almost anyone who I have talked to that has lived or visited Idaho thought that it was great. It’s a beautiful state!
3- Could I possibly be your long distance platonic lesbian lover? Cause you look HOT with the the new ‘do!
Love, love, LOVE the color. Gorgeous on you! Squee!! You’re going so soon!!
OMG! I love the red. You look so hot! I wish I could pull that off, although I’m a little afraid that my skin has too much red undertone to work with that color.
Glitters-I know. (Not that I’m hot, that there was perm and bang fear)People who didn’t know the whole story were quite concerned. :)
Sarah-Awe! I’m sad you couldn’t stop but glad that you got to see my little valley. I love it, I do! It’s always nice to hear from you. :)
Kip-thanks, babe. I think she got it as a gift, but I would try looking online.
Holli-I know. I HAD to use it. It all started with that flag. I still think that it would make an awesome garage door.
Sharon-I’m bringing a laptop, so hopefully, YES. Blogging will occur.
Lady-Why thank you, kind Lady!
Rach-THANKS! I had a feeling you’d approve of the red.
Charli-Isn’t that chili the bomb diggity? I love it. My first husband is from Firth/Shelly…It’s not like I don’t know the area. I mock Utah all the time, why not Idaho??? :) You could try, but I think Bridgy would beat you up. GRIN.
Hairy-I KNOW. Hopefully, everything will go ok. Cross fingers, knock on wood, ect!
Jill-You could always have a few red highlights. That is always cute.
I’m thinking of a new look also. Mine just screams “fat old white guy.” :-)
Here is the perfect quote for your trip. I’m always glad to help out ;-):
“Just the omission of Jane Austen’s books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn’t a book in it.”
Mark Twain
I think you’re just bitter. It could be due to the “Fat, old, white guy” thing. You should do something about that.
:D
Your hair looks AMAZING! I lurve red hair. Mine is a nice shade of auburn, but sometimes I like to go nice and red.
Lokkin’ HOT, girl!
“crackin hairdo, ye bonnie lassie”!… said the cute scotsman in his kilt.
You should be getting used to talk like this… now that you’re counting the hours to departure :)
I can’t wait to travel vicariously with you to the land of bagpipes, sporrans, haggis and witty funny people you are going to love.
Vx

HAVE FUN!
