Life in Galati is going well these days. The girls are doing gymnastics lessons every Monday and Friday, and tennis lessons Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. We have the tutor coming daily and having started toilet training with Ruby. Although she doesn't seem at all interested at the moment. Work seems to be going well for David although he does a lot of travelling. He leaves for Belgium in 2 weeks for 4 days after having been in Luxembourg only last month. Ruby is keeping me incredibly busy and can be a little tiger these days. She won't allow me to cook and pushes me away from the counter when I am preparing food. I am having to do all prep work while she naps as well as do english reading with the girls. This is leaving me very little time to blog which is bugging me lately.
Having terrible problems with the blog these days. It won't let me cut and paste picture to fit into my story. There fore I got a blog that looked a mess last time! I didn't even know I had posted that. Not happy with blogger site right now and trying to work through it so I can post my Turkey pictures.
I had a woman come to my apartment before I left to do my eyebrows and a pedicure. She said she prefered this method as she didn't have to pay the over head of salon. So my friend Daniella and I had our little pamper session in my living room as the kids ran wild through the house. The eyebrows cost me $2 and the pedi cost me $8. AT MY HOUSE! I couldn't believe it. I gave her a big tip because quite honestly, I felt guilty. She thought I was nuts but is happy to come back soon.
My hair situation is getting to be... a situation. I have major roots and I am going to have to bite the bullet and get my hair done. Trouble is, I have no confidence in these Romanian hair "stylists". (See hair disaster entry Sept 09) David's Romanian teacher tells me she knows a terrific place and is taking me ther next Saturday. Oh god! If I come out of there looking like someone vommited linguine on my head, I will dye it black and wait till I go home. This teacher of David's, Tamara, is a very well kept woman and her hair is great so I am a little more hopeful but still very hesitant. She also assured me that it is a salon and not in a 1 bedroom apartment. No washing my hair upside down in the bath tub this time. Could it get any worse than the last time? Oh god....
I will let you know how it goes. It might be safe to pray for me.

The thing with Romanian hair stylists is that they are difficult to spot. The places that seem nice don't always provide first quality services. In your case this time, I'm sure it will go well, because you have the best bussines card: the client! So if Tamara's hair is well kept, you know that lady does a good job. A piece of advice from a frustrated brunette: don't die the hair black. It NEVER goes off; I am still waiting for it to grow...hence I don't look very neat, but I prefer getting to the original colour.
ReplyDeleteBut enough talking, you have little time for your blog as it is, without reading my opinions. I wish you the best of luck with the hair and everything!
