My hair Stinks!

Ok so now with a headline like that you are all thinking "it is Christmas and she says her hair stinks, what is she talking about?" Well let me tell you...last night I got to spend Christmas Eve with the Stovers and all the people who work on the farm. I enjoyed it and it was lovely to see everyone. Anyway I got there early and was helping set up some while I chatted away with June, Ken and Kenny.

I leaned up against a countertop and was happily standing there when all of the sudden I heard a distinct whoosh and smelled that awful smell. Impossible as this might sound I actually felt like I saw the flames at that moment. Yes, the whole back of my hair went up in flames! *Note: I had thought "I so rarely leave my hair down at the barn this will be a nice change" and for those of you who don't know my hair is below my waist.

Anyway, Kenny, who was across the island from me saw the flames at the exact same time and made it around the island in record breaking time. I stepped away from the counter, waved my arms and screamed :). June and Kenny just hit my back until the flames were all out, which was very quickly. My hair had bits of char and hair falling out of it and Kenny vaccuumed it up. The more June asked if I was alright the shakier I got.

Yes, I still have a lot of beautiful long hair, just not as much on the top. My sweater did not even get singed. All night long jokes were made about my hair catching on fire and I will probably never live it down. Every time I turned my head I got a wif of that terrible smell. I came home and washed it, treated it with special conditioner and brushed it all out. Gobs of hair came out! But it still smells! Yuck.

Praise the Lord for his Protection!!

Sorry there is no picture. Kenny thought I should "freak out" again so they could snap one and then we could photoshop flames in behind me but we didn't actually do it!
