Self Improvement - Take 2

My complete lack of pictures and posting may have led some of you to believe the hair-coloring did not go well.

You would be correct in that assumption.
(That is supposing there are any of you out there)

Blondie tried very hard – it was not her fault. I picked out an all-over hair color with highlights. Too tricky for DIY. My skunk line is blurred somewhat but the highlights look just like my gray hair.

If by gray hair I mean white hair. Not blonde hair.

Just gotta laugh. No pictures until I can get it cut and fixed - At least all one color.

And by the by, the temperature here is a flip-flop melting 102 degrees. Summer here is rarely over 80 degrees.

Self Improvement

As I get older there is more upkeep required to just stay even. My natural hair is peeking out, no, blazing a skunk line down the center of my head.

It has turned drab and boring. The color on my hair is reddish littered with gray.



Not the professional hair I need for work.

My darling Pirate went out today and bought new hair color for me. I decided on it by using http://www.lorealparisusa.com/. Now they don’t know me from Adam but they sure have a cool site.

Tonight Blondie will color my hair while we watch our favorite shows on the DVR. I am one lucky lady. If all turns out well, I might even let a picture of my head appear here!

Some Snippets of Life

After my first post I got writers block or rather OMG-what-was-I-thinking. I have not written for public consumption in ages…The last time was a help file for a product that never was released.

No, the help file was *not* the reason for product failure!

I decided today to just write. I will get better as I stretch my writing muscles. And if I don’t, no one has to read it!

We are a military family now. Brownie speaks glowingly of her husband on every phone call. Our son-in-law Recruit will finish Basic in about 2 weeks and move onto his technical school. We are so proud of him! Recruit has taken on a huge challenge and met it with enthusiasm, skill and determination. Brownie had a big surprise when Recruit arranged for a beautiful bouquet to be delivered to her! I have nothing but kudos for Recruit.

Brownie has had her own challenges as well but I am very pleased with how she has coped! Living across the US from us with Recruits parents has been a bit lonely for her but she has rallied and forges ahead with plans for the future with Recruit. She is learning to be a military wife and I know she will do a fabulous job!

The weather here is hot. H O T. Makes me long for a pool. Maybe I will buy a kiddie pool… Hmm….

My first post! History in the making!

So, the other day I inherited a Sidekick Slide from Blondie. Up to this point I have used phones for :::wait for it::: making phone calls and telling time. Every text message sent to me required a tortuous 20 minutes to reply as there was no keyboard. I frequently said, “If you want to tell me something, call me!”

Now before you burn me at the stake, I will gladly admit that cell phones have brought good things to the world. Cell phones to me are a huge improvement over the yellow kitchen phone with the thirty foot phone cord I used in my youth. Hmm, as I write this I wonder, should I just say cell? Is cell phone redundant?

Anyway, as soon as I learn to stop putting callers on hold by accident and remember which end is right side up, I shall begin texting in earnest. Blondie, Brownie and Curly have no idea what is in store for them now! Picture me grinning evilly!
