Speaker 1
Hello, how are you?
Speaker 2
Great I cant wait for easter weekend!
Speaker 1
Same here! I get to see all eight of my grandchildren.
Speaker 2
I hope my new blue hair matches my new easter dress.
Speaker 1
I'm sure it will! At my old age, I don't think I could pull it off.
Speaker 2
I turn 29 next week, I cant wait to leave for spring break.
Speaker 1
Where are you going? My spring breaks used to be quiet and not too crazy.
Speaker 2
My mom just gave me a new car, so ill just be driving.
Speaker 1
Very nice! A librarian was my mother's profession.
Speaker 2
Are you a librarian too?
Speaker 1
I do like the quiet nature of it, but I am retired.

Speaker 1
After thinking about your confidence about your hair, I've decided that I'm going to dye my hair red. How did you dye your hair?
Speaker 2
I dyed my hair with henna actually! They make great hennas for red hair and henna is actually very good for your hair.
Speaker 1
Thanks for the tip! I'd dye my hair blue like yours, but I'm old. I already have blue hair! 
Speaker 2
Maybe you can do a semi permanent dye and have a little fun with your grandkids, if they'd be allowed of course.
Speaker 1
That's a great idea!  If I died it purple for a while, i bet my grandkids would be shocked!  I'd like to see their faces!
Speaker 2
I think it would be a lot of fun to embrace a new hair color.
Speaker 1
yeah, anything but grey!  Getting old is no fun.  Be glad you are still young!
Speaker 2
I love grey hair though, I'm thinking of dying it a nice cool shade of grey one day!
Speaker 1
One day nature will do it for you! lol  Does your new dress match your hair?
Speaker 2
Yes! My dress is also blue, but not quite the same shade. More like a turquoise. 
Speaker 1
Turquoise is my favorite color!  Is your new car turquoise too?
Speaker 2
I wish, it's just a boring black color. I just got my first new car, I've been driving pre owned cars before.

Speaker 1
I bit the bullet and asked the grandkids to help me dye my hair, we decided on turquoise, my favorite color! I think we're just going to do a streak to start though!
Speaker 2
I think that color will look great on you.  which grandkids are doing your hair 
Speaker 1
Thanks. My youngest! I am bit nervous, but it's only hair, right?
Speaker 2
thats true, I had a friend that let someone do their hair red and it ended up being a little too red, but they made the person's day.  does your grandkid do hair for a living or is just a hobby.  
Speaker 1
She wants to get into it as a profession, so I am just the guinnea pig. What kind of car did you end up buying? That's always a tough decision.
Speaker 2
we got a VW Tiguan and it's a nice red color.  The deal was too good to pass especially since i hear car prices will be going up soon 
Speaker 1
That sounds like a quality car - is it good on gas? That's what I am worried about these days.
Speaker 2
it's okay, not terrible but not great.  but i don't drive enough to notice, probably fill it up once a month 
Speaker 1
That makes sense. Are you dying your hair again anytime soon?
Speaker 2
I might touch it up for the summer months, that sun and the pool takes the color away pretty quickly.  being a librarian, do you have any book recommendations for a day visit at the beach? 
Speaker 1
I do - it's called Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter. It's so good and a very quick read. It's kinda about Hollywood and actors/actresses.
Speaker 2
is the book fiction or nonfiction

My hair color needs to be refreshed in the summer. I spend time outside, at the beach, and at the pool.
Speaker 1
Well, my hair has been dyed!
Speaker 2
How did it come out?  I bet your grandkids were thrilled.lol
Speaker 1
Oh my youngest did so good! You can tell that being a cosmetologist is her passion, she was an absolute natural with keeping my nerves at bay.
Speaker 2
At least it's less permanent than a drastic hair cut would be.  You've got extra flavor now. Did you stick with just a streak or did you go bigger?
Speaker 1
We decided to do a streak on each side, for balance. And they're not just out in the open but under a layer of hair, so it pops out when I wear a ponytail. My granddaughter suggested that, how creative!
Speaker 2
It's awesome she gets to practice on you. She'll have a leg up at cosmetology school.  What does she plan to go?
Speaker 1
The dream is to start her own salon, but she's also thinking of moving to a big city and trying for one of the fancy places that celebrities go to. She loves hair, but she's also got a talent for makeup.
Speaker 2
It's a good idea these days to go into business for yourself and not be a slave to a larger company. How old is she now?
Speaker 1
She's 14, so still has a few years to go. It's wild to think that she's my youngest but already getting to be so big.
Speaker 2
Yeah, my oldest nephew is about to turn 14 and I don't know where the time went. He looks like a little man now. I miss the baby stage.
Speaker 1
I do miss the chubby cheeks... Not the crying though, lol. Have you started packing for your trip?
Speaker 2
Absolutely not. I insist on doing everything at the last minute. I work better that way but I always get it done.lol

I think being a business owner is smart these days. My oldest nephew is 13 years old. I think he's growing up really fast and I miss when he was a baby. I'm taking a trip soon.
Speaker 1
I forgot to ask if you've purchased your plane tickets yet?
Speaker 2
Yes, I'm going to Costa Rica! Have you ever been there?
Speaker 1
No, I have never been to Costa Rica, but it sounds like it will be very educational as well as relaxing. I have been to Canada a few times and also Mexico. How long do you plan to stay?
Speaker 2
I will be there for 2 weeks. I am really looking forward to both relaxing and learning about the culture! How are you? Have you read any good books lately?
Speaker 1
I enjoy historical fiction as well as nonfiction. I really enjoy learning about early American history. I enjoyed reading "The Gettysburg Campaign"'
Speaker 2
That sounds interesting. What is it about? I'm not really into history.
Speaker 1
It was about strategy and it was so different than modern military strategy. Back then opposing sides actually had manners and would sometimes mutually agree to stop fighting so that they could take a break. How is your nephew doing? 
Speaker 2
He's doing well! He just finished theatre camp and he's fighting with my sister because he wants to dye his hair green hahaha.
Speaker 1
Young people today really have different values than our generation had. Acting sounds like it would be personally rewarding. I also like the arts. I play guitar and piano. You mentioned that you have a poll. That sounds refreshing in the hot weather.
Speaker 2
Yes it's great, but it hasn't stopped raining here! How's the weather where you are?
Speaker 1
Sorry for the typo. I meant "pool". Weather here is very hot and humid. It is miserable if you don't have air conditioning. Pollen count is also very high, so the air quality is poor. 
Speaker 2
Haha I knew what you meant! Well that's a shame, I guess you have to spend a lot of time inside.
