Bolt Upright

Have you ever updated one thing in your house, only to realize that everything else now looks like crap? Like, you replace the flooring in your kitchen, and then it strikes you that now the countertops and walls look horrible by comparison, and the next thing you know the room is gutted and you are cooking on a Coleman stove in the living room?

No? Just me? Huh.

I know what you’re thinking, and no, I am not currently ripping my house apart. But I have just experienced the same phenomenon in a slightly different arena.

I went to a new hairdresser tonight, and I got the best haircut ever. Ridiculously good. Freakishly good. But, dammit, now I think I might need to actually go out and buy makeup so I can live up to it.
