My Impromptu Surprise

It's been a while since I've posted anything and it's not that I haven't had interesting things happen it's that I've been constantly plagued by the incessant beast that is the Canadian Residency Matching Service (CaRMS). But today in preparation for my graduation photos tomorrow (that's right GRAD photos) I had my hair done. It was a last minute decision and I booked an appointment at a hair salon in Mapleview Mall in Burlington with a guy named Lou (the name did not inspire confidence in me for some reason). Then when I finally got there Lou was a very buff straight guy, and I'm not going to lie to you I was even more skeptical. But Lou was my surprise gift today. He was absolutely lovely. He was definitely strong and masculine which were new qualities for me in a hairstylist but he was a refugee from Kosovo who was married here in Canada and has two young kids. We talked about politics, America, the United Nations and the war in Kosovo. We talked about health care and lots of other interesting topics. He was wonderful and a fabulous hair stylist (my hair is amazing). What a wonderful and impromptu gift.
