Just Makes No Sense…

I decided it was time to color my hair again. Thanks to L’Oréal, I could pick out the shade I wanted to use, make sure I was getting the right line of products and so much more. A quick trip to the store and I now have L’Oreal Preference 6A on my head, in a wonderful no-drip formula that kept it off of the floor as I walked out here to the computer.

I can’t help but wonder every time I color my hair WHY on earth they only have helplines open Monday – Friday from 9am – 7pm EST. I honestly believe there isn’t a single person in this country that colors their own hair during those hours. Normally you dive in to stuff like this at 10pm at night, or on a Sunday, or some other off the wall time. You don’t do it during normal business hours. Shouldn’t they just offer help from 7pm to 9am? Overnight assistance with your color treatment? I really think that would make more sense, but they would probably have to dramatically increase the staff in their call centers because the call volume would increase so much!

The First Day…

I’ll post more of these in Pixelog tomorrow, but this is the view from the office I am temping in for the next few weeks. The office that hopefully could be mine permanently. The tall building on the right is the tallest in downtown Houston, and my best friend works there.

I snapped this one with the Pencam the first day in downtown. Yeah, I still have to get the photos off of the G2. Not that it will be hard to do, but I just haven’t sat down long enough to do it. So the gorgeous sunrise photos will be online tomorrow.

Jason won 2 out of 5 of his chess games at the tournament today. He did pretty well considering he hasn’t played for long – his coach (his math teacher) was really impressed. While they were playing in the tournament the coach taught me the basics and I even played a game! Yes, I now know the names of all of the pieces, how to set up the board, which directions they can move in, and how they capture other pieces. I had fun learning and I’m ready to play more – which thrills Jason since he wants someone to play against!

Mmmm… Pickles!

Robyn talked the other day about fried pickles and the latest offering at Sonic, the “Pickle-Os”. I’ve tried them, and they are ok – but I tell you whaaaat (said with a Texas twang) – the BEST fried pickles are at Black-Eyed Pea. Yes, they have added them to their appetizer menu and they are SO GOOD. Also good are the one at Katz’s deli, but they are spears and I don’t like them as much. The ones at Sonic came in to third place for me.

Yes, I said fried pickles. They fry zucchini, so why not fry a pickle? They are sooooo good!
