My Hair!

Lately people have been commenting about my hair. “Did you do something different to your hair?” “Your hair looks lighter…what did you use?” “Your hair looks really nice!” So, naturally, I decided it was time to do something to screw it up. I drove to the store and looked for my very favorite color: Clairol nice’n easy 119C Dark Spice, which they no longer produce. So I stared at the boxes for about 30 minutes, hoping that one last box of 119C would jump out at me from behind all the “New” colors. When that didn’t happen I began the tortuous process of choosing another color that would magically transform me into one of the raving beauties on the packages. My choice: 129G Rich Medium Golden Brown.

Days went by while my busy schedule which included VBS, working, driving kids all over the place, and marathon Spider Solitaire sessions, prevented me from doing anything other than gaze upon my box of 129G Rich Medium Golden Brown. Finally I staggered out of bed Saturday morning and decide “NOW! I’ve got to get this done NOW!” I ripped open the box and began the process with which I am so familiar.

My husband, freshly home from his night shift job was sleeping quietly so I didn’t turn on the light, choosing instead to use whatever light streamed into the bathroom from the closet. That was only one in a series of tragic mistakes including, but not limited to, my forgetting to use the ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss before exiting the shower!

To be continued… I have to go to work soon. I think today I’ll wear a hat.
