My near death experience
Most of my mornings are very uneventful.
It normally goes down like this; shower, breakfast, makeup, hair. NOT YESTERDAY! Allow me to revisit the drama…
I’m drying my hair. ALL OF THE SUDDEN my hairdryer starts sputtering like 79 Gremlin. Within seconds it is no longer blowing like it should. At this point things get a bit fuzzy because it was SO traumatic. Sparks began to fly from the cord. Now, when I say “sparks began to fly” I need you to understand the severity of the situation. KISS would have been blown away by the pyrotechnics that my hair dryer produced. I start doing some sort of flashdance while screaming at the top of my lungs. All the while the sparks are flying. I’m pretty sure the entire episode only lasted about 8.25 seconds (although, it felt like a lifetime). I was scared that if I tried to unplug my hair dryer I would get electrocuted and no one would know that I was lying lifeless on my bathroom floor. I had to take a deep breath and find “brave Weslea” when I found her… she gave me the strength to unplug “sparky” (that’s my new nick-name for my dead hair-dryer). I threw sparky out the back door and onto the sidewalk and then checked for burn marks. Didn’t find any, turns out I might be super dramatic! Who knew?
I lived, I’m scarred and I had a really bad hair day, but I lived.

My hair dryer is held together by red duct tape. My hair always smells like I went to a bonfire or did smoke drills with the fire department. I’m waiting for the day when my hair combusts and I have to wear a hat to hide my baldness like Kenny Chesney!

We’ll miss you Weslea! I missed why you are leaving? Going back to New Mexico? Good luck in whatever your next move is…You’re the best!
