Blonde via Russia

I feel like it's been days since I sat down at the computer, much less had time to blog. Let me get the kinks out of my fingers and recap the past few days..

To answer your question Mo, my hair turned out fine! Thanks to Elvira (no joke.. I've never met anyone named Elvira) who was also a Russian catalogue bride. No shit. She's a great hairdresser and one hell of a story-teller. She's completely gorgeous, with perfect teeth and the deepest, most wonderful Russian accent. And she can dye hair. Which is all I really ask, the fact that she was telling me stories about Russian ghettos and finding a husband was all just a bonus. *smile* So I'm a little bit blonder, kind of a beige-y blond, really quite lovely. And all the more wiser as to how to survive in a communist country. ;-)

Otherwise, our weekend has been pretty relaxed. We've been watching movies and playing trivial pursuit and I've been knitting. Mr. Almost Poshlust laughs at me. Obviously nobody told him knitting was the new needlepoint. Silly man.

We're going to Culina for dinner tonight, then I leave for my grandmothers early tomorrow morning. We did a dry run of me getting out of the city- last time I got lost and ended up trying to decipher a challenged mail-carrier's directions. I have no sense of direction, and can only figure out which is east and which is west by identifying which way I would have to go to Toronto, and which way to Victoria. God help me. I might end up in North Dakota for all I know.

Wish me luck everyone, I've got detailed maps from Mr. Almost Poshlust, and I've been nice to people in traffic all week, so I've got to have some good travel karma stored up. Here's hoping!

I've got to run, get ready for dinner and try and pack for tomorrow. I should be able to blog from my grandmothers.. If not, I'll talk to you all soon! Much love.
