YEAH...I have color in my hair

WHEW!! I was getting tired of wearing hats! I think I was holding my breath through the entire process of coloring my hair this time! But when dried...it looks great!
And yes CLady...I think I might try going to a real beautician from now on!
And yes Keeper....I am laughing NOW! The purple was great for Halloween. BUT. unfortunately, I'm just to old to carry that look off, even if my mind is young!

Bad Hair Day...!

WELL...I've done it again! screwed with my hair! actually, it was a complete accident this time.

all I did was try to color my roots....thought I would go with a little different color...so I mixed 2 colors together...

WELL I did not get a picture of the final results, ...

my roots were PURPLE and the rest of my hair turned BLACK!

Great for Halloween! But there is no way I could go out in public that way.

So out came the hats!

Day 2) Stopped at the local salon store and they recommend a peroxide/dish soap treatment....tried that and NOTHING happened!

Day 4) Went back to the local salon store and purchased a "color remover kit"

My hair is now a brassy blonde/brown!

(My roots are WHITE!)

AND my hair is pretty much FRIED!

(even used the "special" conditioners!)

AND I am out of cigarettes!

I have been trying to quit smoking...was down to 3-5 cigarettes a day

(compared to 30 a day)

So the delima now is...do I go ahead and put the new color on my hair....

(I am sure it will still not turn out , because of my roots )

I have pretty much spent $$ what it would have cost to just go to a real salon to have it taken care of properly and I am sure it will have to be cut now

( I look terrible in short hair!)

Last Weekend...

Last weekend, the Diva and one of her friends(Gym) spent the weekend with us.
It was a BEAUTIFUL weekend! We had plans to go to one of the areas Corn Mazes...but when she found out I was going to buy some birds for the 'new' birdcage, she decided we should do that first instead! So off to the local Pet store...I knew what I wanted...Finches. I've had them before. Max and Mabel even had several babies before I gave them up. But I really missed that little chirping sound they use to make. The Diva wants me to get something she can hold and pet etc... and she ususally gets her way....except this time....after we spend 20-30 minutes in the store, while I am trying to decide on the breed I want ....we finally come home with 2 Spice Finches. If you know anything about birds, you know that Finches are the flightiest birds on the planet. Small and quick and hard to catch....(It took the guy at the store several times before he could catch the 2 for us...they kept getting away from him) We get them home...go into the bathroom, shut the door (we have two cats) and start setting up the cage....Of course, Diva HAS to be the one to put them into their new home....okay!! Whoops! IT got away! So there we are, all 3 of us (Gym too) in the bathroom chasing a bird. Next one, I tell Diva, I will get and that won't happen! Whoops! Wrong! All the while we are in the bathroom(chasing birds) the Rock is sitting in his recliner listening to us and Beans and Booker (cats) are waiting at the door, just hoping we slip up might open up that door. Whew! We finally get them in! But now I have to hang them up so HIGH and away from any objects that the kitens can't climb on, that I can barely see them!
BUT at least I can hear that sweet lil chirping sound!


So meet...."Louie" and "Chanel". (named by the Diva and Gym)

"Church Sale"

Last friday...one of the local country churches was having their annual "Garage

Sales". These are great sales....Everything you can fit into 2 sacks is $1. I went on the 2nd day...and only picked up what I thought I really needed! The round cake pans, definately and the weight scale, only to weigh letters. A fish bowl for 'peepers' and a couple of crafty items I will use later. The other bag I stuffed with 2 cute sweaters for PP. A really cute pink kitten raincoat for 'peepers', along with a cute vest and top...all were name brand and like new condition. Also got a 'Retro style' jacket for myself and a bird cage that I have been wanting. The bird cage of course did not fit into the bag, but only cost $2.50...Woohooo. Total trip cost me $3.50. Love these kind of sales!

Happy Birthday SAMARA!
