My three C's: Cut, Class, Chair

Kyle, although loyal to Sara at Red the Salon in B'ham, left it to me to find someone that "makes the cut" for his rapidly growing hair. (Read: I get my haircut every six months. Kyle goes about every six weeks. I think I just found new justification for my LaMer budget).

Seriously though, through the helpful and always resourceful network of expats, we were referred to Lucy at a salon called Hair and Joy. (There is a whole other blog entry I could write regarding the use/misuse of the word joy over here...I digress). She speaks English, is very nice and works on Sundays: Sold.

Classes are moving along and I am enjoying both the people and the "lessons."

Touring: This Monday, we went to a place called Bakers Alley. I keep forgetting to take pics. I will do better.

Traditional Maedup: I call it knotting class, which teaches you to make a series of intricately beautiful knots.  I enjoy the other two GM spouses in the class very much, even though the knots are complex and difficult. We are on the simple things like necklaces.

Flower Arranging: I ripped on this class as the ultimate housewife class. Then a friend reminded me that you end up with beautiful fresh flowers in your house every week. Good point. I can use all the decorative items I can get!

This week, I attended my first general board meeting for the American Women's Club of Korea. I have agreed to serve as the Gala Chair, which is their annual fundraising event. I enjoy these women very much and am glad to be involved.
