My Crazy Sister.

Ok.. I LOVE my sister.. really.. I do.. She's a genuinely NICE person, and she has gone above and beyond for me on more than one occassion.. That said.. she can also be EXTREMELY self-centered and has no problem imposing on others. I blogged awhile ago about her birthday extravaganza.. which was a prime example of her selfishness and lack of responsibility..

So she's in Cosmetology school.. She's only got about two weeks left.. (she should have been done already but she missed a lot of time due to her many vacations and just general absentee-ism).. On Mother's Day, she decided to highlight my hair at my mom's house.. This took forever, and it didn't turn out well, and all I ever really had wanted was for her to cut my hair (Which she didn't do).. I had color on my hair that had grown out some (i colored it in January). but it also had faded a bit so I didn't have OBVIOUS roots that showed.. but when she did the highlights.. my roots turned bright BLONDE, but where the color was a nice caramel color that we had been aiming for). The evening ended with her storming out because I wasn't oooh and ahhing about how great my hair looked basically (it looked pretty bad, actually, but I didn't tell her that.. I just didnt' say much at all, i just wanted to be done)..

So finally today I agree to go to her school and have her cut my hair there and "fix" my highlights.. I would have preferred to have her do it on her own time so I wouldn't have to pay for her to fix my hair, but I sucked it up..
We had originally agreed upon 5pm, when we talked about it on Sunday, but about 10 minutes after we decided this.. she was talking to someone else who she told she would cut his hair.. and she told HIM to come at 5pm.. so then told me to come at 5:30.. I was already irked that she bumped me for some random guy she doesn' know.. Then today when I talked to her she changed it to 6pm.. and when I arrived at 6pm, she was still cutting the other guys hair.

After she was done with the other guys hair at 6:20.. She decided that "We" needed to take a break.. So I went with her to the grocery store across the street.. She picked up some fruit, and then said she was gonna get a Lean Cuisine.. So.. she puts her food down on the express lane, and tells me and the cashier that she's gonna "RUN" to get her lean cuisines.. 4 or 5 minutes go by, with me standing at the end of the express lane, I tell like three other customers to go ahead of me.. and I finally go to find her.. She returns with 5 lean cuisines.. because they're "on sale".. and we end up going to a different lane cuz a lady went in front of us with a big cart full in the express lane.. She doesn't have her store card to get the sale prices, of course, she tries to have the guy look it up, but it doesn't work, and she decides to just forget it.. so she didn't get the "sale" on her 5 lean cuisines anyway..

So we return to the school at about 6:35.. She then shampoos my hair with some sort of color shampoo that helped tone down the crazy highlights.. this takes a little longer than one would think, because she wandered away at some point to eat one of her lean cuisines..

Finally she cuts my hair..that went fairly well, except her instructor had to tell her what to do at every step, which makes me wonder how she's graduating in two weeks. After she's done cutting, we have to take another "break", while she gets her phone, calls her babysitter, calls her friend, then we go to the kitchen and we share ANOTHER lean cuisine (no lie!).. so we sit in there for like 10 minutes..

She FINALLY blowdries my hair.. and uses the thinning shears on my hair some more.. My hair cut is really cute, but she makes my head spin.. It was 2 hour hair cutting appt, but only maybe an hour was spent actually doing things with my hair..

I am supposed to go back on Thursday and she's gonna put an actual color on my highlights to REALLY fix them (the shampoo helped, but they're still not great).. It may just be too much of my sister in one week for me though..
