Caution!! Hair trauma caused by umbrellas on windy days

[Honey01]

Hi Ladies,

I just had a very traumatic hair incident. It is very windy and rainy here in The Chi today.

So, I am walking home with my umbrella up trying to hold on the best way I can. Lo and behold two sections of my hair blew up and became tangled in the wires (dunno what to call them).

I tried by best as I am walking too untangle with one hand as I walked. I even considered asking one of the folks behind me for help. I was particularly distressed as I knew my hubby was not home and could not help me. I collapsed the umbrella partially so that I could make it through the aparment doors. I managed to make it to a mirror to untangle myself. Still loss a couple of hairs.

Moral to the story...tie your hand down or wear hat on windy and rainy days.

ETA:

Girl, I cannot wait until Thursday. It's supposed to get up to 70 and the upper 70's on Friday. We have suffered a long winter.

Me either, never considered it. As my hair started to get a little longer, I learned to be more aware of shoulder bags and such.

Oh yeah. I also know not to close the car door to fast on windy days. Learned that one a few weeks ago. Ouch.
