In like a lion out like lamb

well march is definitely holding true to the old saying " in like a lion out like a lamb". Although I'm glad that I was only thrusted by wind this morning and not snow, holy cow. Sometimes I think to myself that although I've spent all 23 years of my life growing up in new england, I cant be a new englander at heart, maybe thats because I always lived near the beach, heck even before I was in this world I made sure to enter this world on the first day of summer, because I did not want to be an august baby and miss out on what was my first summer. Needless to say I hate snow and the cold, and lately my arch nemesis has been wind. Snow on the eve of the first day of march, 21 days till the first day of spring, we were graced with a leap day snow shower, which I was sure was going to turn into a snow storm for the sheer sake of irony, the leap day snow storm of 2012, but for once mother nature was on my side and didn't let that happen. I laid in bed this morning scared to go to my window and check in fear that the grounds were doused in white precipitation. But as I lay there, I noticed one hopeful cue, I did not hear that miserable scraping sound of a snow shovel clearing side walks and driveways. So In was very happy to know that my shoulders would escape another day of torture known as snow shoveling, and I wouldnt have to wade through snow banks on my way to work this morning. I could hear the wind murmuring against the side of my apt and I wasnt too thrilled about that, but it wasnt snow, so I couldnt complain right? Sometimes well actually every day for the past 3 months I think that boston, not chicago should be named the windy city! I have tried hair spray after hair spray in hopes that after an hour spent of curling my hair it would for once make it to work. I bought extreme hold and even used the tiny barell for tight curls. I didnt even run my fingers through to loosen them, I left my house looking like little bo peep knowing that the wind would loosen them up, but my little bo peep curls were no match for the lion force of wind that they had to face, and my hood smushing them down was no help as well.But my "windproof umbrella" was a childs toy in the wake of these wind gusts that spiralled down the city streets, so I clung to my hood and hoped that some of my curls would remain in tact.

none. made it out alive today.

I took down my hood and wearily looked into the mirror, to see not a single curl in tact, not even a loose wave. What's worse is the film of that "extreme" hold hairspray remains on my now straight windblown hair. Thankfully I dont think many people will be out and about shopping today and coming into my store. I definitely need to start keeping a curling iron at work.

So I think today at work I will search amazon for some extreme hairsprays, any that claim that can withhold hurricane force winds? I used to use aqua net for skating competitions, and my hair would remain in the same do for 3 days, so I might have to go back to good old aqua net, or just use my sock bun everyday until march starts acting like a lamb and less like a lion

anyone have any suggestions? besides wearing an astronaut helmet?

well I'm going to make a st patricks day display i.e. make a shamrock out of green ties cus this is the only month of the year I can display the necktie with mugs of green beer.yep.

may your first day of march be more successful than mine
