Something new


No, I'm not actually in a show requiring me to color my hair. And, yes, I did actually pay someone a lot of money to make my hair this color. And, yes, I LOVE it. The intensity will fade pretty quickly, leaving me with a very warm red (the fiery red is largely due to the white-blondness of some of my sun-induced highlights). And I didn't get my hair cut, which makes me very, very happy.

Ds#2 did ask who "painted" my hair. On the way home, I was contemplating the idea that we all take ourselves a little too seriously; my new do helps me remember that whenever we can make our lives a little more fun, and remember that hair color (or fill-in-the-blank) isn't serious, and that poverty, war, and crimes against humanity are, then we should go for it.

Here's a final thought, in the realm of seriousness: My 18 month old just used "Diet Coke" in a sentence, something which seriously makes me look like mom of the year.

Happy day!

Wow! I've always wanted to go drastic like that, but I just can't. What an amazing change! It is stunning & I wouldn't have recognized you on the street!!

We won't go into using ads in everyday life sentences. I can't wait to get to back to AFN programming without normal commercials...can't believe I just said that!

smooch!
