Gail's Hairport in North Mankato, while Ethel gets her hair done.
Playing every weekend this summer and being busy at work and taking care of a big old house and nursing a sick Harry cat back to health (he's fine now) have worn me out. And Ethel, my tiny little feisty 93-year-old neighbor took a bad fall last weekend and needs extra love and care right now. I've been so worried about her.
And I've been tired. Too tired to think. So I took Thursday and Friday of this week off so I could have a nice long Labor Day weekend. To rest, relax, sleep late. To get some good writing time in. To let the vacuum rest for a few days. To maybe give zucchini bread another try. To gorge myself on more of Dad's tomatoes.
Glad I had the day off, because Ethel needed someone to take her to her hair appointment. Gail's Hairport is cozy, air conditioned, quiet and smells like shampoo, hairspray and all sorts of good beauty stuff. Perfect for plugging in the laptop and making some edits (suggested by my super-smart and talented writer and editor friend Ann Rosenquist Fee) on an essay I'll be submitting for publication this weekend. Gail's fast - Ethel got a wash, roller set and comb-out in less than an hour. But it was just enough time for me to get in the writing mode.
While Ethel was under the hairdryer, I tried to talk Gail into having me ghost write a tell-all book filled with juicy stories she's heard while doing hair for the past 30 years. We think it'll be a best seller...in lower North Mankato. Though neither of us would probably ever work in this town again after it came out.
Where are some of the unique places you've found to write / be creative? I think I might try the bowling alley next...
This is the sweetest.
ReplyDeleteThe cloud of hairspray was like incense.
DeleteI drop a comment each time I especially enjoy a article on a site or I have something to contribute to the conversation.
ReplyDeleteUsually it is a result of the passion displayed in the post I read.
And after this post "My new favorite place to write". I was excited enough to drop a thought :
-P I do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or do a few of the comments appear as if they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at other places, I would like to keep up with you. Would you list the complete urls of your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

ReplyDeletenet from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a
year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I
have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a
way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of
help would be greatly appreciated!
