New Salon

Well, I've been threatening it for a year now: finding a new salon. Ever since we got back from England, I've been floundering in the hair department, just scraping by on what I can get done here in Los Alamos. I've been thinking I'd try a place called Blue Monkey in Santa Fe, but I discovered back in early January that it's closed. Nuts.

So I grabbed the yellow pages for Santa Fe and found a place that has a website. For some reason, this was important to me. I can't really tell you why, but I just know I wanted to check the place out a bit before I showed up.

I found a place called Wink. Supposedly it's been named a "Best of the West" salon by the editors of Harper's Bazaar & Town and Country. We'll see. I have an appointment on Friday morning at 10 with Edward.

On a totally unrelated note, I'm trying out my new kitchen gadget as I type. We bought a remote meat thermometer. I don't think it's as "remote" as my brother's - he can put the temperature probe outside in the smoker and get the readings inside his kitchen. But mine has a probe that goes in the meat in the oven and the cord connects it to the readout that sits on the counter outside the oven. I'm making a pork loin roast.

I'll let you know how the 'do goes.
