Regency Hair

Bored, bored, bored!

I shouldn't be bored; I'm supposed to be working on my JulNoWriMo project. Egad, but I'm behind!

Still, I had about 2 hours to kill until the baby shower yesterday. I'm inefficient with my time when I'm waiting on an event to happen. If I'm scheduled to be somewhere at 9 in the morning, I go, I come home, and I make the most of my evening - often cleaning parts of the house, making a huge dinner, and walking the dog twice before husband-to-be gets home. If I'm scheduled for a get-together at 9 in the evening I do a few small projects in the morning, all half-assed, lay about for awhile, maybe reading, start a million little craft project that clutter up the house but never get finished, and finally find myself literally dawdling for the 2-3 hours before it's time to leave. Then, somehow, I still end up late - but with nothing to show for my day but a feeling of blah.

It's a curse. I have poor time management if I don't get a quick start on my day.

So yesterday I had to putter about until the 6pm party. Starting around 3p I started googling "old fashioned hairstyles." I decided to wear a regency hairdo with my jeans and t-shirt to the baby barbeque (if I get another nickname, by the way, please let it be Barbeque!). I used this tutorial, more or less.

Before I started digging out my curling iron and bobby pins, though, I thought, "ooo! I can take an hour and crochet myself a headband to go with it!" So I did.

I used this tutorial. It took less than an hour to make a simple three-strand headband in orange. Elation!

By 4:30p I had made myself a headband and finished a hairstyle that totally didn't fit my outfit. Voi-la! How I spend my Saturday afternoons. On pointlessness. :)
