Remembering
As I stood
at the mirror in the bathroom last night, I thought about years ago, when I was
doing the same.
I stood
there, with my finger on top of my head…and the other hand twirling my hair
around that finger… then reaching down, picking up a black pin, and trying to
open it with my teeth so I could keep the curl I had made.
Yep, for
those women who are reading this.. the routine many of us went thru each
night. Using bobby pins, to keep the
circle until the next morning. And if you were lucky, you did not have a bed
full of
Bobby pins
…some sticking you.
Been about
60 years since I had done this.. as a
young adult I used just about every curling machine or curlers you can think
of.. Even the one with the studs that the
curler sat on, until it got hot. Seems
to me there was a dot on top that let you know it was hot enough.. and if you
were good at it.. you didn’t burn your fingers on the steel ends..
Years of
late, I have spent the money every 3 months to go down and get it curled.. Last
Fall decided to keep it short… then this May I broke down and paid for it to be
curled… And found out I have been priced
out of going to have someone perm it anymore.. Just can’t justify $60 and then
another $10 for tip.. $70 is out of my league.
So figured
I would give it the old try again of bobby pins.. to my surprise as I tried to separate them
with my teeth, they make them a heck of a lot shorter.. Well at least the ones
I bought. I have curlers but no matter
how I try, my hair looks like it is trying to take flight. Standing up high off
my head… end up wetting it down to calm it down..
Hair has
never been my thing.. For many years I wore it long and in a pony tail with
bangs. Maybe that is what I need to do..
only trouble is.. my hair is not thick anymore.. so it is a sad state of a pony tail, in
deed.
Worse comes
to worse, I will make my trip to Priest
River and have the other
Cis cut it short again..
by the way, forgot to mention the bobby pins didn't do it either.. yep.. going to get it cut
