this morning i realized how dependent i am on my flat iron.  i do my usual morning routine as i wait for my flat iron to heat up.  i noticed that it did not turn on yet and thought i forgot to turn it on.  so i turn it on and do other things as i wait.  a few minutes later i see that it would not turn on.  i was extremely horrified since my hair is super crazy in the mornings since i typically go to bed with pretty damp hair.  i had crazy bumps and cow licks all over the place.  i couldn't just put it in a pony tail because you could still see my hair flipping everywhere.  i fished out my old curling iron, turned it on, and tried desperately to try to straighten my hair.  it got some of the minor bumps out but it was still very unkempt looking.  i threw my hair in a pony tail and tried to make it look as decent as possible.

i guess this is what i get for getting a cheap flat iron at walmart for $16.  guess what i bought right after work?  the same cheap flat iron for $16.  i just can't make myself buy a flat iron that is more than $30 because i don't see what the more expensive ones doing anything more than my $16.  if it lasts me 2 years, then i'm good considering i use it every single day.

so today was the day i went to work with crazy hair and i felt so self conscious.

have faith.
