So my youngest turned 2 years old this past weekend, and no, I didn't write an entry dedicated to her...But I will. I promise. When I get my NEW COMPUTER. Yes, this is HUGE news because I haven't had one in so effing long since my mini-me spilled my entire Snapple on my "motherboard". Don't even get me started on the word "motherboard". It tells so much about life in general. Women hold the key to the universe. We are the "motherboards". That's all I'm sayin'. Why would tekkies choose to call the brains of a computer the "motherboard?"
So.....Last week I decided that I wanted to save myself a little money and dye my hair at home instead of dropping over a hundred dollars at the salon. Why not? How hard can it be? My mother encouraged me to take a trip with her to the beauty supply store and I was so excited to dye my own hair! At my house! In half the time and a quarter of the money!
Something screwed up. Or I screwed up or the DYE screwed up (I swear..It totally was the DYE) and I ended up with hair the color of a pumpkin. Bright orange. You know what I did? No. I didn't have the energy or will to dance it out. So I cried. And then I got so frickin' mad. Shouldn't I know by now that I just shouldn't touch my hair?? Didn't I learn this in HIGH SCHOOL?? Word to the wise: NEVER try to DYE blond HAIR on your own. Just NEVER do it. EVER. The next day? I had to work out looking like a leprechaun. I felt like I should be handing out Lucky Charms at the door to the Y. Or at least pouring bowls for my friends after a long and hard workout.
So while I was in the throws of what we'll call "pumpkin head" I went to my favorite hip hop class (which I OWN) and my friend goes "It not that bad, Mama". I was thinking "Are you kidding me?? I look like I have flames coming out from my head and you're telling me that I look ok? You LIE!" And then I looked at her hair. Apparently she had tried to darken it and picked a color from the "color wheel". RED LIGHT. NEVER pick from the COLOR WHEEL. That means that the "colorist" has no effing clue what they are doing and are going to slop some junk on your head in hopes that it comes out the color that you pick from the "color wheel". NEVER WORKS. And my friend? Has a tinge of green to her hair. Nuff said.
I got mine fixed...BUt I don't think she has any idea that her hair looks a bit like early spring grass.
