Mexico Convenience!

So I was preparing for a job interview and needed to color my hair.  I'd decided to dye it brown (my natural color is dark blonde).  My mother (the dream avatar of her) colored her hair with the same dye I was considering.  The result on her was brown hair with red/orange stripes.  But I liked it and decided to go ahead because I liked the color of brown.  I went through the ritual of shampooing the dye into my hair and piling it on top of my head to wait for the color to set.  The bathroom setting was nice, it was a light blue and beigey taupey colors, very nice.  I got in the shower and rinsed my hair and dried it and liked the color, on me it was a nice honey brown.  We were talking, there were like, 3 or 4 women in the house and I wanted a soda but we didn't have any.  Mother told me there is a convenience store just down the road in Mexico.  I didn't want to drive to Mexico!  Mother said it's just down the road around the corner, you'll be in Mexico and there is a convenience store there.  I get in my car and start down this black highway with very white stripes, it looked like they just that minute finished building the road.  I drove a short distance to an intersection and turned right, still on that jet black road with bright white stripes.  At first there was nothing then on the right the land rose and fell away from the road and I could see the ocean.  There was a roadway down the bluff and people were walking it, I knew to a beach.  I wanted to remember where it was so I could go back to it once the interview was over.  On either side of the road buildings became visible, hotels, laundry facilities, then I saw a convenience store on the right.  As I was pulling in I woke up.
