Hot Rollers for the Stir Crazy.

What was today about, you might ask?  Going to Walmart to buy a birthday gift for niece hot rollers for my hair.  Life in the camper is great and stuff but maybe I'm a little stir crazy.... I don't know.  However, we all know that stir crazy purchases are usually the most interesting and best kind.  Even better than impulse purchases.  Impulse purchases are things like chocolate bars and tide pens.  Stir Crazy purchases are the things you see when you are at the store for no good reason at all and you buy something you don't need based on it's ability to entertain you for more than 10 minutes.  Like a pressure washer or a giant cigar that you can't really smoke but you might.  Don't judge me. 

Sometimes, when I'm feeling a bit cooped up, I head out to the store for this or that, I get what I need but I don't want to go home just yet- but I don't necessarily "need" anything else.  Walmart is particularly dangerous ground for the Stir Crazy individual.  They have a lot of stuff that goes Whiiiirrrrr and ping!   This time it was hot rollers because my kid was taking too long picking out a flavour of chap stick and they were in the general vicinity and I just, well I got weak.

I saw them, I imagined myself putting them in my hair in the camper when I got home,  then I imagined waiting for them to cool down so that I could take them out and reveal my new ravishing Marilyn Monroe camper hairstyle; so I bought them.  WHAT?  Like you wouldn't do the same if you were at Walmart with your Mom who used to be a hairdresser.  She told me it was okay to buy them even though I have no room to get them home.  I guess they'll go in with the puffed wheat.

So I unpackaged them, plugged them in, rolled them up and waited while bugging Neil as he tried really hard to read his book.   Then I made him take this photo with me:

Then I unrolled them for the big Marilyn reveal-to-Neil...

Me: Hmm... maybe I haven't perfected my technique yet, Neil.  It's a little less Marilyn Monroe and a bit more... hmmm.... not Liz Taylor..... no no no... maybe it's...

Neil:  Phyllis Diller?


AND IT WAS.  It was Phyllis Diller's exact hairstyle; It looked exactly like Phyllis Diller.

The End.
