blonde?

Current mood: TERRIFIED, but a bit fluttery

Mom got a new car! (check out the pic) She says it's a bit cool for riding with the top down, yet. However, I reminded her of what Michelle, Angelique and I used to do in the Mustang during Spring Break in Panama City when it was cold at night – top down, heater on! It'll work. Trust me. Kori, I'm sure you've witnessed this goofy routine on many an occasion in PCB!



Okay. Now for a question I must pose and I demand input from each and every one of you.

People tell me all the time that I look exactly like I did in high school. For the past… I don't know, like 16 years I've had the same hair style. I mean, there's really not much you can do with natural curls.

It TERRIFIES me, but I want to finally try doing something different with my hair.

Recently, I cut 4 inches off the back and shortened the pieces closest to my face. I've not really had anyone note the change other than the occasional comment like, "Oh, you're hair is shorter. Nice."

So, I want an actual change. Not just a trim. It TERRIFIES me! But still, I want to try something new. I can't go any shorter for fear of looking like Little Orphan Annie!



But still, I want an actual difference that people will notice. And something that makes me feel like there has been an actual change. Here is what I am considering - even though it TERRIFIES me!

I've never colored my hair. Ever. But I am thinking about going blonde.



Eeek! Well, maybe not exactly like that.

But I AM contemplating some serious blonde highlights.

Oh geez. The thought makes my knees weak. It TERRIFIES me! But at the same time, the thrill of something new makes my heart flutter just a little.

So… mistake?

My hair grows fairly quickly so I couldn't really do a full color change, just highlights (don't want roots, ya know). But instead of being Redheaded (like now), I would be more like Strawberry Blonde.

Maybe something like this color:


A bit TERRIFIED. Feedback?

"Go for it." "I know a good colorist." "I think it'll look good with your blonde facial features." "Have you freaking lost your ever-loving mind?!!"

Give me something.

And rest assured I might need someone to hold my hand while it's being done… or perhaps a shoulder to cry on after it's over.

Did I mention the thought TERRIFIES me?

Oh - on the Disney writer dude - we met - he's a very nice fellow - very petite fellow - looks better in person than he did in his photos - no attraction on my part, but perhaps we could be friends. He's already asked to get together again. We'll see. Seems like an honest guy, intelligent.
