Hair Dryer Be Gone

By far one of the best things about not having hair is the maintenance-free look. I save an hour everyday not having to blow dry and straighten my thick hair. I cannot exactly tell you what I do with that time, but today I did spend an hour with a hair dryer. My roommate’s dryer shorted out and I volunteered to run to the store to pick up a new one. Once there I realized how funny it was for the bald lady to be picking up a hair dryer. So I did like most do and picked up a few other things not to bring attention to the funny purchase. The cashier gave me a sweet grin when the hair dryer rolled up on the conveyer belt.

The story has one more twist. Back at the apartment, we discovered that I had picked up the exact hair dryer that my roommate did not want. Little did I know there were hair dryer user preferences. I reluctantly agreed to exchange the dryer. Now I’m in the return line; a bald girl, a hair dryer, and a big cheesy grin on my face. This was followed by another hair dryer purchase and cashier experience before rescuing my roommate from her wet hair. My interesting afternoon led to a continued thankfulness for not having to use a hair dryer on a daily basis.
