My Hair Again

I haven’t had anything done to my hair since my last post. So basically that means that it’s only continuing to grow on out. I really do plan to seek professional help at the end of the month. I’m just trying to wait as long as I can because I don’t want to have to do it again before baby arrives. I’m also thinking about going back to my original color so I don’t have such obvious roots.

Anyhoo… the point of this story…

As I’m walking into work this morning, I have a co-worker tell me that my hair looks really good. Then she asks if I had it cut and colored.

Do what? Hello, look at the inch of dark roots dangling out of my scalp!!! Does that look recently colored? Um, no.

I told her, no, no cut or color recently. Then she says, Oh, you must have just styled it this morning.

Again, no. I just dried it like normal. It doesn’t look any different today than any other day. NO CHANGE!! And for you to say that insinuates that you don't think I "style" my hair on a regular basis. And I think that's kind of bold to say to me.

What’s up with these people?

Oh, wait a minute. This same hair person is the same person that had issues with my earrings.

Why can’t these people just bask in my beauty and be done with it?

Hair

Do you see this mess? It’s too much for me to handle. This is what happens when you color your own hair and then you’re too lazy to do it on a regular basis.

The more I look at this picture, the worse it gets. I mean really. I can't stop staring. It’s like a train wreck. You don’t want to keep looking, but you can’t help it.

First let me say that from this angle I look like I’m losing my hair. You can clearly see my scalp in my part. Is that normal? Seriously, is it?

And the color… what’s up with that? It looks orange or something. Now I did take this with my cell phone, but I don’t think that had too much to do with it. It was supposed to be blonde.

Now I’m wondering, does it look as bad from the front as it does from the top? I sure hope not. When I look in the mirror it doesn’t seem like it does. I’m too scared to take a picture of myself from the front for fear of what it will look like.

I really think I need professional help.

What Is It About Me?

When I finished getting ready this morning, I told my husband what a lucky man he is. He’s lucky to be married to such an attractive woman as me. hee hee Now the reason I told him this is because he’s always telling me how lucky I am to be married to such a good looking man.

Rewind a few weeks to my new haircut. I came in to work and one woman told me that she likes my hair. Then she proceeds to tell me that her son's hair looks kind of like mine… if he’s slept on his back all night. I didn’t even say anything, I just stared at her. Then she tells me again that she likes it. Do what? What kind of thing is that to say to anyone? Several people that overheard that told me later that they couldn’t believe she would say something like that.

Now fast forward back to today. My top is black, brown, dark limish green and a creamish color. It has a square neck trimmed in black and ¾ length sleeves trimmed in black. It’s a cute top. I got is from my secret sister for Christmas. I just so happen to have some dark lime green shimmery earrings that match it. They are dangly. I am excited that they match because I like the earrings and don't have much to match them.

So I’m standing at the copier and a woman asks me where I got my earrings. And not in a way as if she wants some for herself, in a way like she can’t believe I would be wearing them. I told her I couldn’t remember where I got them. Then she asks me if they don’t bother me touching my neck. Do what? Number 1, they really don’t touch my neck and Number 2, do what? I mean, really? Did you just ask me that? Do they bother me touching my neck?

The only reason I can think of that these woman are making rude remarks to me is that they are jealous of my style and beauty. This story has just come full circle. I am better looking than I originally thought this morning. Otherwise these “older” women would not feel the needs to make rude remarks about me.

I realize that not everyone likes to dress up or fix their hair or wear makeup or earrings or anything other than blue jeans and t-shirt. But don’t hate on someone that does.


Here's the earrings. They look almost like a cluster of grapes. They are very light and not uncomfortable at all. Shimmery....

Face Paint

I got me some discount Avon today. One of the ladies here had some stuff that people had ordered and then didn’t want. It’s not used or anything. There wasn’t a huge selection, but if you found something you wanted, it was a good deal.

I got a lipstick for $2. It’s kind of a reddish burnt orange color. I guess that’s the best way to describe it.


I got a 4 color eye shadow for $3. There are 2 light pinks, a darker almost rose color and a charcoal color. I was scared I couldn’t pull it off. What do you think?? Probably not too good of a picture. Just take my word for it that I have beautiful eyes today!!!

The Finished Product

I am so crazy. I never use the same color twice, unless I just so happen to pick up the same box every couple months. I don't write down what I use or keep the box or even try to remember what I use from time to time. For all I know, I don't even use the same brand.

So here I am in the middle of the process...

And here's the after...

No ugly roots. Yay!!!

My Hair

I'm doing a pretty good job of letting my hair grow out. I've got the back cut a little shorter than the front. It's kind of stacked. The front actually comes a little past my ears!! I haven't had it this long in ages. Whew hoo, now if I can just keep it going.

So, my roots are starting to show. Whatever color you call them, dirty blond, "dishwater" blonde, dark blonde, they don't look good with the much lighter and more golden blonde all over the rest of my head. And when I pull up the hair in the back to curl it, I can see about an inch of root hanging out there. It’s not pretty.

I was thinking of going platinum blonde. But I think that may be a little much even for me. I’ll find a good color and maybe I’ll post a pic of my goldie locks once I get them all done.

Here's a before picture. It's kind of hard to see all my hair, but you'll be able to see it better in the after picture.

Here's one of the roots. I didn't realize it was this bad. How embarassing!!!
