Rambling..

I should be in bed,but I am instead blogging, catching up on all of the reading I never get to do during the day, seeing all of the wonderful projects and things every one has done in the last few days while I eat Cadbury's mini-eggs by the handful. Earlier this evening I decided it was finally time to color my hair.  I had been putting it off for  week now.. So, you ask, is my hair natural? This shade of blonde?
Of course it is .. on a three year old... 
But as I learned tonight... don't blog and dye. 
In an effort to take  a hit for the financial team, I've been saving $100 every 4 months and doing a box kit for $10  at home every 4-6 weeks. Since I am sort of blonde( it's called dirty dishwater, if the name of it alone isn't enough to make some one dye their hair.), those kits work fairly well to give me some nice, natural, soft face framing highlights.
Normally. 
Unless you happen to sit down to blog to pass the forty minutes by and suddenly notice it's an hour later and your scalp is.. uh.. burning and you are now not three -year-old blonde, but something else entirely.
So I am like a whole new woman... stripper woman... with my very blonde highlights and  a belly full of chocolate eggs.
It's been quite an evening.

  1. Been there, done that. My husband told me I looked like a street walker. I think Stripper is a step up.....

  2. I've done this, too... only the white-blonde was at the roots and the rest of my hair was orange! Yikes!

    Jen - I wanted to thank you for stopping by and sharing my wee success with me. Cheers!

  5. Ha ha ha! Too funny! Oh my. The belly full of chocolate eggs was an appropriate ending. ;) This is exactly the reason why I've never allowed myself, no matter how much I want to, to read blogs while I color my hair. I just know that I would get busy reading and lose track of time. I've forced myself to sit in the bathroom with a timer and a magazine instead to make sure I don't get a die job unlike any I've ever wanted. Thanks for sharing your humorous story with us!

  6. Oh my god, please tell me you did not use Sun In. If you r going to use a over the counter color, I suggest LOREAL only. But that is my professional hairstylist opinion. lol. I think when you add your stripper pole in your bedroom you should paint it up like you do everything else. lol. mishelle

  7. ACK! I keep thinking I need to sacrifice my salon dye job for the betterment of the family economy, but stories like yours remind me of the horror I can--and have--wrought with a DIY dye job! Hope it grows out fast!

  8. You are hysterical! I still splurge on the $100 color every 3 months and it is worth it...you have just confirmed! You must post pictures!
    I remember using Sun-In in 8th grade...my hair was bright yellow and I thought it looked AWESOME! You gotta love the 80's!

  9. Now you can be a dirty dishwashing stripper? hehe
    I think we've all done this before. I need to dye my hair and soon, I have grays popping out everywhere.

    Have a happy day

  11. I'm so sorry that I'm laughing at you but this is so funny! It reminds me of the time my sister wanted her hair red. The trouble is she started out with it white. It all turned PINK! We quickly turned it brown!

  13. I have never had this problem seeing that I have been brunette since birth. I have often wondered what I would look like as a blond but I am too chicken to find out. Something tells me it would be BAD!

    If anything in the world could make me forget where I am its cadbury eggs and blogging! I totally understand:)

  14. Oh that's funny! I hope you don't mind me giggling. I'll bet you still look fabulous!

  15. Oh you poor thing...that was one part of my routine I couldn't give up. I have messed my hair one too many times and The Accountant agrees I have no right to touch my hair in a permanent way :)
    It will grow out and ????

  16. I used to put Sun In on my hair when I was a teenager and stay out by the pool all day. I didn't even know it still existed! And that stuff was never very strong, I used to wish my hair would get light from it!

  18. I too have been there done that! Not long ago...but it didn't look TOO bad! I used the color I normally use right over that "bleach"...NICE & EASY lightest natural blonde...THAT made it look SO much better(incase you needed a "fix")
    OH, and I LOVE all your furniture...I love taking a peek at what everyone else is doing!

    And T-man didn't say it...his mom did...that's the problem with a 10 year old having a blog...I can't keep it all straight now!
