Hair by Twixt

I had a request to post a picture of my new do. Here it is. Here is the story:

I went to Shep's Salon, a little basement salon. It looks like it is in grandma's basement and then you go into this hip place where they play some crazy new fangled music. There are also three male hair stylists there. My grandpa would have a fit! Anyway, I felt very metro if you know what I mean. Patrick consulted with me on what I wanted and without warning me, snip went the hair. I was a little worried! He got rid of 7 inches of hair without blinking an eye. He then turned me over to a skinny guy who informed me that his name was Twixt and that he would be washing my hair for me. I really didn't want to laugh, but I wondered if he was serious. I was going to make some wise crack like "Oh you are a combination of a twit and a Twix" but when I realized he was serious, I didn't say anything. Patrick came back and cut my hair. It wasn't anything like the picture I had showed him, but he assured me that it was hip. He then proceeded to spray my hair with 1/2 a bottle of hairspray until I almost passed out due to lack of oxygen. I hated it! I specifically told him that I didn't like bangs and what did he do? He styled it so that they hung in my face like a dead, drowned rat.

I came home and was worried what Ty would think. I started blubbering about my experience. He just laughed as I cried and blubbered "...and his name was Twixt....and he just hacked off my hair...". Ty being the wise man he is suggested I go to Fantastic Sams and get it highlighted. This seemed to be a good idea. I did so and Kendra (that was her name) was able to style my hair more to my liking. I did it this morning in about 10 minutes. I am happy with the result, even if it was a traumatic experience getting there.

Enough about the hair. One of the most exciting things happened on Friday. They dedicated the new addition to the Tanner Building where I work. I lovingly call it "the Tanner Tot" as it has only 4 stories and the original building has 7. President Monson came to do the dedicating. He graduated with an MBA degree several years ago and as Pres. Samuelson said "He is our most distinguished alumni". It was a very special experience. The whole first presidency came as well as several other apostles. I was in a separate room due to space issues, however, I could feel President Monson's power as our prophet. It was a special experience. I love my new job and I love working at BYU and having such wonderful experiences.
