Practice Observation (2/10/09)

The object that I randomly put on my desk was a hair tie that I usually put around my right wrist. It is black and smaller than most hair ties normally are. There are a few parts on it where one can see that the object is fraying from abundant use but it still serves its purpose. There is one part on my hair tie that holds the two edges of the circular band together with some sort of adhesive that looks like dried glue. I wear this object around my right wrist because I feel odd without something there. (If I am going to a formal place, I will most likely take the hair tie off and replace it with a bracelet.) Hair ties are normally used to hold a female’s hair back but I rarely actually do this. If I recall correctly, this particular hair tie was purchased at Target in a package of about ten.
