On Monday I went to the mall after the chiropractor and before I had to be at the theater for my show. I had approximately 20 minutes and thought, "Hey, I'll kill the time in Deseret Book or something..."
I made it through Macy's and about 20 ft. into the "middle part" of the mall- when I was young that is what I called any portion of the mall that wasn't a department store. Anyway, at that point I was approached by one of the many hagglers from a little cart or kiosk, whatever you call it.
There was NOBODY around so I felt bad saying no.
Next thing I know, I'm sitting on stool getting my hair straightened by some expensive product from France that uses "new technology," and "works from the inside out,"- "no more split, no more dry, no more frizz," "100% ceramic plates"....blah blah blah
All this was being recited to me OVER AND OVER again as I sort of felt like I was dozing off due to my mass fatigue lately and the lovely feeling of the straightener going through my hair. The voice saying all these things came from a charming, yet pushy Israeli woman with a THICK accent. These phrases were possibly the only things she knew how to say in English. However, I was intrigued and interested in her because I have such a love for Israel and the people, and such a longing to visit Jerusalem.
Basically, I don't know what happened. Fifteen minutes later I was walking out of the mall with a $100 straightener...that I don't need. So much for a soothing trip to Deseret Book.

That is super funny. Hope you kept the receipt....if you're throwing $100 around on useless things you may as well just buy a flight to Phoenix and come visit. Or donate it to charity.....or put it in savings.....and the list goes on.
yeah...that's why I can't go to expo things...
Shelley, Here's what I have taught Kamry about dealing with those people: When they say, "Can I ask you a question?" You say,"No you may not," and continue walking!
Ha ha! That is hilarious. I always run from the hagglars. I hope you can find some use for the straightener
I just watched that nail salon clip. Hilarious! It was like deja-vu from Monday when I got my nails done by Mr. Chris!
