What's that dumb thing in my hair?!? Oh, it's not dumb: it's a rubbery floral thing from HI that a neighbour gave me recently. I love wee clips . . . just not all of them love me.
Okay, this pic will give you a better idea of the colour. I love that Ashely put in the full colour and the hi-lites at the same time! Who knew you could do that?? I mean, usually it's one colour, rinse, dry, then the hi-lites and rinse, dry . . . a dreadfully long process. Even though my Brit friend, Deb, would likely tell me to go natural (and in many ways I agree that one should - as long as they want to and are comfortable with it), I decided I'd been natural two years now . . . the "snow" is coming in thicker in the temples . . . but wasn't all over. If it was all over, I would consider colouring a losing battle. Well, even that isn't aptly put. What I mean is: when it is all evenly all over your head, it blends until that's all there is: a gorgeous silver. I'm not even close yet.
Can I just say: listen, I can say. It's me about me. Okay. When I look at my face I think, "My God, I've got a big nose!" and then I immediately start laughing because it reminds me of the opening to the Monty Python's Life of Brian (which is dastardly awful, actually, but the opening is hilarious: Sermon on the Mount scene and a bunch of Jews are standing about and one can't hear and they all get in a fight over this guy they call "big nose"). Stupid, not pithy, I know. Still. I keep thinking of the medical fact (is it???) that our noses and ears get larger as we age (is it just gravity???) . . . I'm gonna be sporting an Olympic Gold Medalist Nose in fifty years.

The brown looks good! I thought you were going with red highlights..but the blonde looks good too! Can't wait to see ya sista!
Well, you little sneak. I thought I'd be posting and you wouldn't have time to catch up here until you saw me in person. Poop. Just kidding. Thanks, dearie!! Well, essentially, to make that red I wanted work, I'd have to have gone darker . . . not so sure I want to go goth. I'm too bloody old for that - forget sensible (I'm not always that 'cos my artsy-fartsy side wins over my reasoning most of the time).
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU, TOO!!! YOU WILL ALL BE IN MY PRAYERS DURING THE WALK/MARCH FOR LIFE AND LISTEN: CALL ME WHEN YOU CAN GET TOGETHER FOR SOME COFFEE AND EATS!!
I love the color. It is very nice with your coloring and eyes. She did a fab job!
Love it! Looks fabulous!
Thanks, gels, your comments mean much to me! It's always a bit hard to do a change up.
color looks grand. never noticed a large nose BUT if you look at old people that phenomenon seems to effect men much more than women (or at least to a much greater degree)

Hey! That looks great! I did that "highlights at the same time" thing once too and really liked it myself!
You look very pretty, Sarah! You look about 16 years old - especially with the hoodie on. Healthy and fresh.
A cutie pitootie!
Now, go and play some hoola hoop or sumpin'!
regina - cool. I'm glad to know that A) older women's noses do not necessarily get larger and, B) I have to share: we also loose our hair everywhere (except our heads if we're lucky it only thins a bit). I like that no shaving thing in my future!
Alexa - I just might go play as you suggested. I have a daycare job today with five wee ones. I'll definitely be burning some caleries playing and running after them
That's amazing - you do look younger. You could pass for 25-30! I am sure you're energy can match up to that. And you're face is beautiful and it's YOU. Remember, we are our worst critics.
What's so special about the cheesemakers?
It's an allegory, it means all dairy workers.
Bwahhaahhahahahaahhahaha. I love that movie.
Anyway you look lovely and the new do is very flattering!
Thanks, Melissa, you're very sweet. And, going on 40 this year, I think those comments ROCK!! When I was 25-30 and passing for 15 I was pissed - I wanted to at least look old enough to vote!!! I got asked once with my eldest in the store trolley seat and several months preggers with my girl by some elderly man, who sized me up and down and asked pointedly: "Are you even married?" Huh! So, looking over 30 is good for me in many ways. I look like my kids could be my kids.
Mimi - I love you more every day! A person who loves that movie (like me, I sheepishly admit) regardless of it's kind of really naughty bits - wow! You best come visit me on Oahu after we settle in, yeah?
OKAY, WAIT! It reads like that some elderly man was the one who got me preggers! Y'all know what I meant: he was sizing me up and down at my audacity to be preggers with one in the trolley - he said I looked like I belonged in high school. Shhhhheeeeet, Mr., get real!!
I swear by all that is holy, my three are my husbands (even though he's now an old man at 42 - he he he).
Love your hair color! & your nose... is fine.. (I know we all have our "things")
Your features are lovely and your hair looks great!!
Very pretty!
A in N - thank you so kindly. Really, for me, as with most gels, it's the arse. Mine's a bit of a truck at the mo' so I'm going to gobble up all the chocs sent by Deb SLOWLY and start exercising NOW.
Rosemary and Kalona - thank you so much. The downside to shorter hair? You HAVE to wash it every day and then you have to style it after that and you have to buy all the stuff to do it with . . . Oy vey, yeah?
(absolutely, and if you are ever here visiting family, you MUST call me!)
Oh, my goodness, I missed this one!!! I'm sorry, you look beautiful!!! I love the darker look, it makes you look younger!!
Jamie - I'm dreaming of a nickname for you. I'm getting CHristine in on it. It will be good, and it will not be mean. I promise!
Thanks for the kind comments. :)
