I Suppose Halloween IS Right Around the Corner.....

Completely off gardening, but I suppose today I'd finally had enough of the comments about my grey hair. It's really started to come in heavily these last two years and although I don't think I consider myself to be overly concerned about my getting and looking older, I figured it was time.

So I went and colored my hair a medium brown to try to cover the grey and their idea of medium turns out to be a whole lot darker than my idea of medium.
It's really dark. Really dark. I can already feel the obligatory teen angst rising within me, but at least I'll blend in with all of the Cathedral/Goth kids at school. Eh, but then Halloween is right around the corner and the dark hair really goes with the spirit of it all. Speaking of Halloween.....there's a new sparkle spiderweb design going up on the Keychains page tomorrow, most likely.
The morning comes early. Even on the weekends. Why is it that you wake them up at 5:45 and they scream like some one's done shot their dog and yet when they wake up all on their own at 5:47, all seems to be right with the world. It's just not fair. Sweet gardening dreams.

  1. Is that the camera flash, or do you have a giant nose ring?

    LOL, I think the hair looks great. I quit coloring mine a couple years ago, much to Mr. Granny's distress. Laziness on my part, I just hate trying to keep the white roots covered. Besides, my ash blond turns neon yellow after about four shampoos.

  2. Meant to add, your Halloween hair looks better than my daughter's. Her medium brown turned out Jack 'o Lantern orange in the sunlight.

  3. Thanks, guys! I think I'll get used to it pretty quickly, but it does make me pretty pasty looking. Granny, I'll never keep it up, which is why I've put off doing it for so long, but I'm a pretty dark brown anyway, so when this fades hopefully it won't skunk so much when it grows out.

    I've done the red/orange before also. This is less of a mistake than that was!

  4. Oh, and it is a nose ring. Hear that, Mom? It's a nose ring. A genuine, bonified, certified nose...okay, so it's not, but whatever. ;)

  6. I'm on it, EG! Fantastic. Man, what a life for those guys. Are you coming to the show or was the one a few months ago enough to last you for a while?

  7. This made me laugh because I just went through it 2 weeks ago! My hair was brown, blond, green from chlorine, couple of grays, you name it! I went and bought some "medium ash brown" and when it came out my son called it "Border Collie Black" LOL! So I look like a 40 year old Goth Mom now, box says it washes out in about 2 months, I hope so! I'm still looking for the box that says "mousy brown" which is my natural color :)

    You are gorgeous girlfriend, & can carry off whatever color you want, it looks great!

  8. Thanks, Erin! You hit it dead on with the boarder collie black! Hey, at least now when I'm wearing my school's senior class shirt I won't get asked anymore if it's a "senior citizen shirt."
