There are many things you could wait a lifetime for and never get.
good service
a doctor that is on time
perfect children
winning lottery numbers
a hairstyle worth a million, but costs $10
a Sunday morning service that’s under 30 minutes
a day of complete rest that wasn’t ordered by the doctor
a bar tab that’s on the house
a mysterious billionaire to put you in his/her will
delicious food that doesn’t make you fat
exercise that only takes place in your mind
for everyone to think you’re right
For this list not to go on…………….ACCOMPLISHED

haha I’m totally there with you on the hairstyle. Over the last several years, I’ve paid a lot, and paid a little, and rarely gotten my “Aha!” moment! Funny thing, I reconnected with week with a gal that did my hair for 15 years or so…she’s a real ‘stylist’, if you know what I mean, and haven’t seen her in ages. Called her on a whim last Thursday and she had a cancellation this week! (Only opening between now and the end of the year). And right before a big Xmas party I’m attending, too. So I’m getting ready to spend a lot of money for a hairstyle that I hope looks like a million.
🙂 Good job!

Clearly, no hairstyle known to man costs $10, but we sure do spend a lot to get disappointed often.
It must be fate that she was able to get you in. Let me know how it works out. It sounds like she is someone who actually knows what they are doing.

Great and creative response to the prompt. I have such a hard time with photo prompts. You make me jealous.

I’m great with ideas, but suck a lot at the execution of them. I’m glad this one turned out okay.
If you met me in person, you’d probably say “What a fucking loser.”…..well maybe not.
