I went on my first interview on Monday. It was cool and she called me yesterday to see if I could sit on friday. She wants me to sit every friday or Saturday night. EVERY! I won't be able to do anything! I won't be able to go to Jolene's house for the weekend. I'm gonna have to tell her that I have to have a day off sometime. I mean I'm not going to be gone every weekend but I think once every two months is ok.
I'm reading this book: Marie Antoinette Princess of Versailles. It actually is the second time i have read it but there is this part where she (Marie A.) is getting ready for a ball and the seamstress is putting on her gown and she notices that attached to her hoop there are small glass vials the shape of teardrops with stoppers in them, and in the bottom of each vial was a drop of honey. She says: even Mama was confused when she saw them attaching these to my hoops. She asks "what are these?" and the French seamstress says they are for the fleas. And the mom is like what!my daughter is not a dog she doesn't have fleas. And the seamstress is like oh no not your daughter it is the pomade in her hair and the wheat flour paste that draws them. GROSS!!!
Heres how they did her hair: First they divided her hair into skinny bunches, twisted them tightly and pinned them to her head. Then they pinned pads of horse hair on top of that. Next attached false braids. then to the rest of her hair (they must have left some of the hair out) they caked on a spicy-smelling ointment called pomatum. After that they sprinkled it all with powder and finally pilled it all up very high. Also they twined silk roses and toy birds with real feathers into her hair. No wonder there was fleas!
OK well I have to go and do something other then stare at the computer! See ya!
