So, I know that I have another blog...parklondon.blogspot.com, but I have so many funny trista-isms that I thought it would be really fun to write them out! My brain works in such crazy ways, that sometimes, I even have to laugh outloud! When no one is around! To point of tears! And, what fun is that all by yourself? It is way way way better to share that with friends! Especially because I can hardly ever remember all of the details when it is time to share them with other people. So, yes, on to blog #1...
It all happened on Sunday. One of the GREATEST days of the week! I love being at church to learn more about our wonderful amazing Creator! Another really fun aspect of church is the fellowship and God has totally blessed me with such an AMAZING church family! It is definitely going to be a little emotional when it comes time to say "See you later" to many of them.
On this particular Sunday, I had one of the most memorable moments EVER! The Friday before, David and I were having a date night when Lauren called and left a message. She asked if I had time to cut Kristina's hair and had suggestions as to what kind of haircut she should get. So, I phone her back to let her know that I was unavailable and suggested that something shorter with some fun layers would be SO CUTE! She proceeded to inform me that Kristina couldn't possibly wait another day and they would take her somewhere to get her hair cut that evening.
-Didn't think anything of it, until...
Sunday morning at church when I actually saw Kristina and wanted to see what she had decided to do with her hair and that is when one of the funniest things I have ever heard about a haircut all came gushing out...
Lauren and Kristina decided to go to a Super Cuts in town to get her hair cut. Quick, cheap, always can get a last minute appointment! They were sitting...IN THE SHOP...waiting for the appointment, when Kristina decided that she really didn't need to spend the $ on this particular haircut. So, what did they decide to do??? LEAVE...Wait for it...it gets funnier!!! I believe at this point they decided to head back to Lauren's. Why you might ask? Oh wait! To find the dollar store CRAFT scissors to chop Kristina's hair off with! Now, let me point out that craft scissors are the jagged edged ones, from the dollar store, that are incredibly dull. And while they may look like fun to play with, they work much much better on scrapbooking...I believe that would be considered their intended use. But, what I LOVE is the creativity in this!!! I would NEVER have even considered craft scissors!!!!!!! I would have not done the haircut. Nope! Hair sheers! They work fantastically!
As Kristina is explaining me the process of "the haircut" I begin to inspect her hair. And might I say that Lauren did a splendid job giving her choice of tools as well as the lack of professional experience. My favourite part is yet to come...
I asked Kristina about the layer idea because I had suggested layers thinking they would be so fun for her. Kristina then tells me, "Wait, you can't see the layers?" Oh hmmm.... I am looking?? Oh yes! I can totally see where the start of the layers were! I love it!!!! By this time I am not only looking EVERYWHERE for Lauren, but I am also questioning those many months of my life I spent in beauty school! And why I actually purchased that pair of sheers when, in actuality you can use dollar store craft scissors! My the things you can learn from your close friends!
I finally find Lauren and all I can do is laugh and point at Kristina with that look on my face that says, CRAZY! I NEVER would have imagined this!!! It's so GREAT! YOU ROCK!
Needless to say, Kristina, the length is such a great length for you! And I give you mad props for having the "whatever" attitude about your hair! I need to seriously have some of that rubbed off onto me!
And Lauren! I give you props for being so gutsy like that and just taking the initiative to try something new and fun! Have you ever thought about a career in hair!?!
Seriously one of the funnier moments with my AMAZING, overflowing with joy, super excited on fire for Jesus friends!!!!
Would love to hear any fun hair stories from anyone!!!
Seriously? Seriously!
Trista...
ReplyDeleteI think you are picturing the "zigzaggie" scissors, these were just really cheap "fabric" scissors... so they cut in a straight line!
Also, there ARE layers, they just all turned out to be the same length!
Supercuts hair cut just never gets this kind of reaction...
Glad It made you laugh =)
PS... turns out I'm bad at posting stuff lol
more more! I want more stories!! =) maybe an elf shout out or two?? =)
ReplyDeleteOk, so to set the record straight...fabric scissors = straight line + some layers that are roughly around the same length :) Kristina, you are awesome! Your hair is AMAZING! Seriously!
ReplyDeleteErika! More stories to come with many elf references!
