I can’t tell you how many times I went to turn on a light switch, or look at the clock yesterday morning…and neither of them worked. The electricity went out in our neighborhood Sunday morning, as we were getting ready for church.
I had showered and dried my hair…the next step was to use the flat iron to smooth out and curl my hair under a bit. But that’s when the electricity went out. I thought, if it doesn’t start up soon I won’t be going to church because of my hair.
Next, a text came through saying the electricity would not be restored for a couple hours. Hmmm
OK, so I wondered if I should stay home from church because of my hair? That’s not a very good reason…yet it kind of is…then I thought of some old Velcro curlers I had in my dresser drawer. I retrieved them and set my hair, and looked a sight– think 1960’s!
Although my hair was dry I thought maybe the curl would still take, especially if I used hairspray. I let the curlers set for ten minutes and then took them out. It did help enough, so I did get to Sunday school, and church.
I learned the power went out in much of Northfield, and I talked with others who struggled with the same issues of no electricity…shaving, curling hair, getting the car out of the garage (electric garage door openers)…
The power came back on in time for church, everyone settled in and no one paid one bit of attention to my hair… imagine that! Ha
And on the subject of hair…after church, I couldn’t resist taking a photo of these three characters from our church who were talking together…
Haha, I dont know why you were worried about your hair😂
But it’s typical us women, if the hair does not feel right, the day is distroyed🤪😅😃
I did get my hair cut since I was in Norway…so it’s a bit different.
But it all worked out. 😉
Yea, bad hair days are not fun and, you’re right, it makes us self-conscious.
It’s too bad, right?
Isn’t it funny how self-conscious we are when it comes to our hair! A ‘bad hair day’ can give one a different perspective. The pictures of the Velcro rollers looked familiar- I saved a few of mine too.
Oh, Valerie, I’m laughing. Your hair looked simply beautiful when I saw you Sunday afternoon at Valley Grove.
Love that pic of the guys after church.
Ah, thank you for your comment on my hair Audrey. It was fun to see you at the Country Social.
I couldn’t resist taking the picture of Gary and friends at church. A great group of guys, for sure.
Dear Valerie, I had the same dilemma with my hair except I had no Velcro curlers. If it wasn’t for Shirley and Fred, I wouldn’t have been there. I prayed for forgiveness for my attitude about the importance of my hair 🥴. I saw you and I thought you looked wonderful. I sure enjoyed the after church photo 🤣
I’m glad you chose to go to church Lori. It was interesting to hear people’s comments about their non-electric morning.
We were all in the same boat, I think.
