FutureShock: Hair Story

I just colored my hair again. It's an old box I had forgotten was in my closet. I had hoped for the best. I'm still not sure what color it is. It was supposed to be a light auburn, but it seems the red has lost its strength a bit. It's a dark reddish brown. I don't like it.

My sister instructed me in no uncertain terms that my hair should be a color found in nature. My sister, Miss Conservative. She's finally conceded she is a "summer" like me and has to wear (oh no!) blue!

Sigh. Tacky hair days need to come to a close. I had hoped for something lighter though. Maybe I'll have to take me to the hairdresser in a few weeks and have them lift the color a bit and color it lighter. I don't look that great in summer with dark hair.

I'm a blonde at heart.

You've seen this before, me in 2004. It attracted too much attention from too many weirdos. I finally cut it and went to this >>>>

I knew I could go red to blonde but I couldn't go blonde to red, when my hair started to grow in. So I figured I'd start with red and it's been fun but I want my blonde back. One thing is certain: I am not cutting it.

I sold the Josh Groban tickets, yay. I really didn't want to drive all that way alone. I love his schmaltz. But I can listen here at home. Maybe if he ever comes to Hartford. The Casinos are too far away to be a comfy ride. I like convenience!!!

Oh this is fun. The story of no hair to hair.

July 2005, I still had eyelashes and eyebrows.

November 2005 - pre-surgery, full of fluid, no eyelashes or brows.

Feb 2006 - Just back to work

I rather liked the "Ceasar" look

March 2006...sticking straight up. Colored a weird dun. I just wanted to color the gray. Actually the gray was kind of nice.

Later Mar 2006 - got rid of the brown and went red. A nice color.

June 2006

Boat ride to Long Island, September 2006. Like an idiot I went and had a haircut shortly afterwards. I was 10 lbs heavier here than I am now. In fact I've lost 30 lbs since surgery. I guess when I look at it that way it's not so bad.
