Shave and a haircut -- no shave

It's pretty easy to let the days of the weekend slip away to catch up on ever-needed sleep. Today was no exception to that recently made up rule as we all slept in well past the ten o'clock hour. Well, without that early start the rest of the day kinda' slipped past rather easily interrupted by only a couple of events. The first was Sarah yerning for a new hair style. She's had a rough go in the last couple weeks with her kidney infection and the lingering possibility of being hired on at Davita. She wanted to have something happen which could raise her spirits and a new look could certainly fit the bill (especially since we already have a cat). She had loose plans to head down to Vancouver to head to the salon with my sister -- couldn't wait for that. We're trying to avoid spending too much cash while our paychecks are incoming toward the end of the month -- that wasn't reason enough. So, I helped urge her to make some calls to local hair design facilities to find a spot on their roster. She found an opening and made an appointment at Proctor Hair Design.

I loaded up my busted bike and my in-tact girlfriend and we headed over to the Proctor area to fix my bike and fix up her hair. The bike thing was a simple fix of a broken link in my chain and a re-assembling of the derailer (which was possibilty disassembled and re-assembled improperly in the past -- Aaron?!). After that I drove a block to the place of Sarah's appointment. The woman cutting her hair was somewhat obsessed with baseball and our local Mariners but did a fine job getting Sarah one step closer to her ideal do. She paid her $17 (not bad for a female hair anything) and drove home.

Although she had trouble understanding the dead end her fingers reached when she ran them through her newly molded hair, the experience was a good one. We took some "after" mugshots, I admired it for a while longer, and we rapped up our evening with a short bike loop from her to a couple neighborhoods overlooking Commencement Bay and the Puget Sound and back.
