Spent 3 hours and too much money having it done. Needed some highlights put in after all, though I didn't do a full head (forget the cost, it would've added another hour).

Could be a little more red and a little less blonde, but much better. It's also very straight. My hair is surprisingly long when ironed flat: even after having an inch and a half taken off, it's down to my shoulder blades.

I also attempted to do some shopping. This was unsuccessful. Although I like clothes, I don't like shopping for them. This is a combination of two factors. First, it's a shlep. Second, I am not a size that would allow me to enjoy clothes shopping. What kills me is that once upon a time I was such a size, or at least a size that would have allowed me to enjoy it more. Unfortunately at the time I didn't realize it and thought I was fat simply because I couldn't fit into skin-tight jeans like the other girls at school. I would kill to be that size today. Hmph.

Irony: I am 1/4 Irish and hence can legitimately celebrate it, but I don't drink!

In related amusement: Purim (the Jewish holiday of getting dressed up, giving gifts of food, and getting drunk) coincides with Good Friday this year. (Easter is very early and Passover very late, hence the unusual coincidence.) This could be great fun in New York....

Last night at dinner Neil suggested we go somewhere for Easter weekend rather than sit around London doing nothing. Unfortunately we don't know where to go. :) If it weren't Easter I'd just see which city has cheap flights/trains and book something, but I'm afraid of things being shut! Any suggestions? It's just the long weekend (Friday - Monday) so nowhere too far.

(And it was his idea so no comments about me being spoiled and demanding....)
