I'm not actually in a state of depression, but I have been in a bad mood
almost all day long. I'll just go ahead and share the bad news. My Chi died this morning. I decided that I was going to wear my hair "curly" today but needed my Chi to smooth out my bangs. I plug it in and... nothing. I flip the switch off and on again. Nothing. I press the reset button. Nothing. I try it in an outlet in the kitchen. Nothing. I leave for church with bangs slightly less smooth than I had hoped, but it wasn't really a big deal. The store where I bought my Chi guaranteed them for life as long as you had the original box and receipt, which I did. We get home from church and I send Blake into the attic to find the box but he finds nothing. I get upset with him, take his head lamp, and climb into our creepy attic to find the box that I KNOW is up there. I emerge box-less and mad. I look in every closet. Nothing. So I buy a new Chi online. I can't be with out it, I just can't. If you have one you know. I find one on-line for about $80 (no shipping) which is half as much as I paid for my first one. Now, I know you are thinking that $80 is no big deal, it normally wouldn't be.
You see, I started giving myself an allowance on February 1st. I have my own bank account that is my money to spend any way I choose... clothes, tanning, haircuts, lunches out any decorating for the house, etc. Spending $80 of "our" money is very different than spending $80 of "my" money. Oh well. I have to have the Chi. For the next few days instead of looking like this...

I'll probably look like that. Hopefully I will get it before Thursday. I'm getting my hair cut, and I hate for Heather (my stylist) to see my hair looking ugly.

Mo, I love your honesty. I know it's a big deal, and I'm glad you're not afraid to admit it! Don't worry, your hair could never look like that frizz-ball. :)
the chi changed my life 6 months ago. i feel your pain.
I know what you are talking about, and I would be depressed if my Chi died. I love the one that you gave me for my birthday last year, and I use it almost every day. You know, except for those nice SC days when the humidity is so thick you can cut it with a knife, then I have to wear it curly.
Love you!
Where did you get a chi for $80? I seriously have wanted one for about 2 years now but never broke down and bought one. Maybe I should make my own spending account too. You're giving me ideas. Well your hair always looks fabulous!
