Ok I need to vent - you all don't mind do you?
So Disney's wedding planner tells us we need to come to the beautician on the ship with an idea how to do my dd's hair. We don't usually do anything to our hair, we don't wear makeup, we don't do fingernail polish (but I do have sparkle toe nail polish). And they want us to come with ideas?
I thought that was the beautician's job?
So - I make an appointment at the local salon for a consult on an "up-do". Sounds like the right thing to do - right?
(I was trying to follow directions of the wedding planner) Last Tuesday night we went for the consult - we look in the hair books, the lady gives us some ideas - then tells us I could probably do it myself and she will let us borrow her "special curlers" that are really easy to use and she will teach me how. 
Problem is another stylist has them so we need to come back on another night to get them.
So that other night to come back was tonight (due to her work schedule, my dd's work schedule and my work schedule). She was going to cut my dd's hair a bit (cause it is really long right now) and show me how to use the curlers then let us borrow them. Problem is when we got there the stylist realized she doesn't have the curlers.
UGHHHH!!! So tonight nothing gets done, she wants us to come back on a different night. Can't my dd possibly come one day without me, can't I possibly come one day without her, etc. etc. Problem with all that is I leave next Friday and I work almost every day and night between now and them. Remember I told you I work three jobs.
So - we have a few ideas in our head from last week - but no pictures or any great way to describe it (cause like I said we don't usually do this). Now just so you all know many moons ago my dd did dance competitions I did her hair all the time. But it has been many moons and I am out of practice.
Now maybe I was crazy to think I could do it in the first place (after so many years), maybe I was crazy to think she would let me borrow curlers, but gosh darn I thought I might be able to do this "special" thing for my daughter.
Disappointing.....
Ok I'm done - thanks for listening. Maybe I just need a

Spoonces 
for you. I totally understand your frustration about the appointments at the hair salon. I suggest the same thing as sweet pea...do a google search (images, not web sites) to see what you can find. OR do what I did for my friend's wedding...tell the stylist to do whatever she/he thinks would look best on each of you. If you normally don't do anything fancy with your hair to begin with, I really wouldn't let this stress you out. Maybe it was just a suggestion that you bring your own ideas on the ship, but they should be able to figure out how to do what will look fabulous. 
just made me a little too stressed. 
I think that is because there has not been a disney store anywhere close to us for a lonnngggg time. 
with my countdown reminders! 
This time today we'll be in Nassau
