I'm going to get my hair fixed tonight at 5:45 by the owner.
One side is layered short with longer length...
and the other side is long layers and shorter in length...
and my bangs pretty much look like this...
If I didn't know better, I'd think I was turning this into a complainers blog.
Sorry about that.
I hope it turns out, because I've got choir practice right after the hair fix.
We're having an "Ecumenical" Christmas with a bunch of different churches at our stake center next Friday and Saturday. Our stake choir is singing six songs from "The Messiah".
I love listening to "The Messiah".
I can't stand singing it.
Originally, I showed up and a few practices just to try it out. After a couple tries, I gave up and thought, "Ugh, this is NOT for me".
Give me show tunes...kids songs...anything but operatic stuff.
A few months ago, a lady from church starts calling me telling me that they need sopranos, and asks what she can do to get me to come.
*sigh*
but I don't wanna!
But I show up anyway, because I'm nice like that. But since then, every week I try to think of a quiet way to leave.
So last week, the conductor is complaining about the sopranos being sharp, and I think to myself, "Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm sharp. Maybe I'm not a good singer. Bad singers don't know they're bad, so maybe I'm bad and don't realize it."
Then I get a brilliant idea.
I will stop singing and see if he still complains about us being sharp.
*silence* from me.
Still, he complains.
Maybe it's more than just me.
So I continue my silence covering my mouth so he can't see.
I think about leaving.
I think about my van overheating.
I think of other things.
The next day, the lady from church calls me and tells me the conductor wondered if anything was the matter.
I said maybe I shouldn't be singing "The Messiah".
She said it wasn't me.
So, I sing.
I sang "Daughter Of a King" with my daughter a couple weeks ago in church.
Suzanne's husband said I sounded like a rock star.
Not sure if that was a compliment, but he also said he'd pay to hear me sing.
Hmmm...a new side job.
Maybe I'll go caroling with a can this year.
Brilliant, no?

see? see what i said? you should have just COME here. gotten your hair cut by an ACTUAL senior stylist. not some senor stylist. and you could have had gingersnaps and hot chocolate. next time, carrot. next time. and what the hey is an Ecumenical Christmas? i have never once heard this word. ever. but i assume it means interfaith. or something similar. oooh, now we have to not only see video of your dance contest but video of rockstar carrot singing. this is gonna be GOOD...
Aubrey, I don't have enough ten dollar bills for your stylist. ;)
Love the look of your blog :D
Sorry about the hair cut... I had a cut last year that made me cry for days and days. I had to come home and cut big sections of hair just to even it out. He left huge chunks longer than the rest. I didn't notice when I left because he had curled it up really tight so that I looked like an 80 year old grandma. :P
Not much worse than getting a "hack job" haircut . . . I hope the "fixup" tonight goes well.
I agree with Aubrey . . . we need video or at least audio of RockStarCarrot! :)
Oh no! That last picture of the bangs is still making me laugh! Despite crap hair cut, your hair itself is very pretty! I hope the owner can fix things up a bit.
I had bangs like that after my friend Jill cut my hair the summer between first and second grade...that is what they looked like after they grew out for the summer.
Your stylists's name wasn't Jill was it?
Hey! In Mexico I had my hair done by Señor stylist and I like it.
Had to like it pretty much.
On the plus side the color is lovely.
Next time go for the gingersnaps and hot chocolate. You are worth it carrot.
OH Carrot, don't you see, if you keep your hair like that, you will not only sound like a rock star, you will look like a rock star...Rod Stewart, Shirley Partridge...Keith Partridge...
I think she really was a senior stylist and her prime was the asymetrical 80's (I fondly think back of Calamity's New Wave do).
I think protocol for bangs like that is to dye them black. I was just watching Ace of Cakes last night and that seems to be the east coast "it" thing.
You do have a rock star voice, the feathered look will only help establish yourself on the top 40 billboards. (Maybe some white pants with a comb in the back pocket would give it the edge you are looking for).
Hey, I'm wearing my white pants with a comb in my back pocket.
I hope your hair turns out to be lovely to match your voice.
I apologize Millie if I made you feel anything but cutting edge...
...I do hope you remembered to pair them with a buttoned up polyester shirt with photos of beaches and sun all over it.
This bad singer knows she is a bad singer.
I made it all the way to almost 32 without getting a haircut that looked like I went to a blind, deaf, arm amputee. It was AWFUL. How can they let you walk out with one side longer than the other?
I like your color btw.
Sorry about the cut! The color does look good though.
I'd pray to hear you sing like a rock star in church.
Hope the hair re-do goes well. LOVE the color.
I've heard you sing, you are a rock star.
Good Luck with the hair-do and "The Messiah".
Personally, I never goes nowhere without my can. I got a problem with frequent urination. You should definitely take your can with you caroling. Nothings more embarrassing than singing 'I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas' while you're really thinking of a Yellow Christmas because you have to pee so bad.
Waaa! Sorry about your hair cut. Once I ended up with a sad short-long or mullet. It was so scary and sad. I grew out my hair after that and I haven't tried anything interesting since...
I wish I could sing. But choir practice would be a little annoying. Sorry all you ward choir directors out there.
Oh NO! I just read about the singed hair! Yikes! Do you have any eyebrows left? How scary.
I know you are still pretty. Hair or no....
Your hair color is absolutely stunning. Don't worry about the cute...I bet you look lovely!
perhaps a junior stylist would be better... at least her style would be in this same century! gosh that was awful! sorry about that... hope the owner fixes it good and treats you very well at the same time!
i love listening to and singing the Messiah... in fact, it's been on my mp3 player and i've been listening to it in the car for the last few days.
Sounds like pay back time big time.
Cheers
:( stinky hair stylist who needs to go back to hair styling school! How did it go?? I'm a bad singer and I know it. I want to be the rockstar!
What an incredible color!! It's beautiful!
I singed my bangs, eyebrows, lashes last year about this time too. It grows back.
You got me thinkin' though......what if I really suck at singing?
I've never thought of your trick, stopping to see if the complaining stops.
Oh, well. I suppose they wouldn't have asked me to sing a solo in church 4 times if I stunk up the place.
I wanna hear you sing.
You just made my day. I kept checking back at the end of the list. I was convinced you didn't love me anymore.
And I was sad:(
Then just now I noticed your linking love. Thank you beautiful carrot for making me smile.
Oh that's frustrating about the haircut! Hopefully the owner was able to fix it! I love listening to the Hallelujah Chorus and other parts of Handel's Messiah. What a fun and interesting idea to have different congregations come together. Hopefully it all goes well! :)
I will pay you some cool cash if you come carolling here. OK not much cash because I am essentially a big cheapskate with Christmas presents to buy, but I will scrounge up something for you.
Incidentally is that the way you spell scrounge? Somehow it looks overdone. Perhaps its just scronge. But since you would have to travel some 2,000+ miles for that caroling trip I will spring for the possibly superfulous "u" for U.
