We've all had, "those weeks." You know, the kind of day/week/month that's a little more difficult than others. So, the question is, what do you do about it? Do you wallow in self pity or get up and do something? My philosophy--Always do something.
I don't care what it is. Spin in circles. Learn another language. Rock out to Gloria Estefan. Eat a gallon of ice cream, whatever. You do, what you gotz'-ta do (sorry, the gangster in me came out a little bit right there, I apologize).
Last week, was a little bit like this for me.
To counteract the day, I decided to get my hair done. I made an appointment. Arrived on time. Asked for blond highlights and walked out with black hair. Yes, black hair. My forehead, my favorite feature, was emphasized even more- super!
When I walked in the door at home, I laughed and cried as I tried to explain all that happened to Justin. I could not believe how ugly my hair was. It was awful. So awful, I can't post any pictures to this blog nor can I repeat this story--you know, digging up old wounds. I tell the story once and then never again.
Since dooms day, I had my hair redone. I also shower like there is no tomorrow, hoping and praying that the more I shower, the black will wash away. Tomorrow, I plan to get blond shampoo & conditioner. I don't think it will do anything but a girl can hope.
Moral of the story: Always do something. And, why your at it, sing this fantastic South Pacific song, Wash that Man Right out of my Hair--except substitute the word man with worries-- it's fun and will certainly make you smile.

Not to bring back painful memories but this reminds me of the time I bleached your hair and it turned out white... :) I guess somebody is trying to tell you something - you're natural hair color is beautiful just the way it is. Sorry, friend.
How come you didn't post any pics to corroborate your story?
SRSLY!?!?! How on earth did that actually happen?? And how can you tell this story and NOT post pictures? I gotta see this hair!
Okay really?! Seriously black hair? Did they misunderstand you when you said "blond"!?!
You must post pictures! And don't worry, you would be beautiful whatever color your hair is.
My favorite quote though from this post is absolutely "Rock out to Gloria Estefan."
Just awesome.
