Hair Disaster!

Normally, I go to a salon to get my hair dyed/hi-lighted, but on the missions trip in summer, some of the girls helped me highlight my hair and it turned out great, so I thought I'd try it again. Bad idea. I bought a hair dye that was SUPPOSED to be 1 shade lighter than the one I had before. It's a base colour, then a highlight. Now I have red/plummy hair with copper highlights. It totally sucks. Worst hair ever. Michelle, you better be working tomorrow, cause I'm coming to see you to fix my hair!

By the way, I did the exact same thing to Chris's hair. It looks good on him, but not an improvement from his naturally awesome brown hair.

How to Book a Doctor's Appointment...

You might ask...how do I know the answer to this question? Well....this last month I started working at a Chiropractor's office and have gotten to know many interestings "workings" within the medical field.! Most importantly - WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN HOUR AT THE DOCTORS?!?!?! (my biggest pet peeve in life)....well, here's the scoop. Most doctor's offices book appointments every 15 min, ex 2:00, 2:15, and in those appointments, they sometimes will book up to 6 or 7 people for the SAME 2:00 appointment.

Sooo...next time you book an appointment, try the following:

  • DO NOT BE LATE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT (in fact, come 5-10 min. early)- MOST OFTEN, YOUR SPOT IN LINE IS BASED ON FIRST COME , FIRST SERVE BASIS, NOT THE ACTUAL TIME OF APPOINTMENT!
  • Book either the first appointment of the day, first appointment after lunch or the last appointment of the day and be there 5 minutes early!

DISCLAIMER: I can't guarantee that you won't still have to wait for an appointment, afterall, you are going to a doctor, expect somewhat of a wait! Good Luck!
