I am going French...

I was so busy before I left for France, that there are a few things I wanted to do but didn't.  One of them was get a haircut and dye my hair.  Roots is not a good look for me.  So I decided to do it here.  It was a prime example of my epic fail in learning the French language.  So I found a salon and the woman spoke NO English.  Go figure, but she was really nice.  So I walked into the salon and I say "Je voudrais un colour et un coupe." The woman giggled at me but nodded yes that she would do it.   I figured she was laughing at me accent.  Oh how I wish it was my accent.  Now I had asked my French teacher how to say "I want a color and a haircut", and I assumed that is what I said, but of course, it wasn't. Now the word for haircut and the word for ice cream sundae are very similar, and looking back, I defiantly said to the woman that "I want a color and an ice cream sundae."  Ughhhh, go me.  Well anyways, this is way shorter than I wanted, but I ended up loving it!    Here is my new French hairstyle!
