frizzy candles

my hair is big and frizzy and my apartment smells of my favorite candles.

i was blow drying my hair straight tonight and, just as i finished, i blew a fuse. and apparently my entire apartment runs off that fuse. no electricity. i found the fuse box but, just like my way cool apartment, it’s centuries old. the fuses can’t be flipped… they have to be replaced.

apparently i am not going to use the chi iron on my hair tonight. ha ha ha. should make for an interesting conversation at work tomorrow. “hey, what happened to your hair?”

but, thank you jesus, my air conditioning operates on a separate fuse and it’s still running.

i love little adventures like this… it’s as close to camping as i’ll ever get!

Ginger… I was wondering why my bedroom light and clock went out last night. Just FYI…there’s a separate “newer” box outside back by the air conditioners. I’ve flipped that switch MANY times. I learned that I couldn’t use my hair appliances with any other appliance in the apt… nor could I use my George Foreman and microwave at the same time. If the switch isn’t flipped by the time I get home tonight, I’ll take care of it for you.

angel… what would i do without you?!? you’re the best!! and you have a blog?!? how did i not know this?!?!?!

susanna… you’re totally right and that is precisely what i did this morning. the hair wasn’t nearly as big as i anticipated and i brought the chi to work and did a little magic before my meetings. hahaha.

i’m ginger and, chances are, i like you.

i’m from nashville. but i live in downtown dallas now. i’m a daughter. friend. sister. believer. dreamer. lover of all things beautiful.

i spend much of my time editing books, which is my job. (don’t let the absence of uppercase fool you.) when i’m not at work, you can usually find me on a patio with some friends enjoying some nice wine and good conversation.

i long to make a positive impact in the world. one person at a time. and i hope that it begins with you.
