May 14, 2008 - New Look
Last week I decided that my hair was getting a little too "blah" and I needed to do something to give it a little lift. Typically I would go to the salon and have it highlighted but thought we could save money and I would buy a kit and have my Mom do it for me. After-all, quite a few friends highlighted their hair at our recent ladies retreat and theirs turned out quite nicely.
My Mom has dyed my hair before and does her own so that wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, the kit uses a cap that you painstakingly pull the strands of hair through and after a short time my Mom's wrist and then back began to hurt. I decided to enlist George to help her out. He was up to the challenge, especially since it involved pulling his mother's hair. 
They did a great job but when they finished it seemed as if they had pulled all of my hair through which would color everything but it was too late to think of that, especially since we needed to be at church for bible study fairly soon.
I kept the solution on for the minimum amount of time and after I tested one strand I had the feeling that my hair was going to be blonde rather than just highlighted. After drying it I wasn't crazy about my reflection in the mirror. Now my hair has been many colors and styles over the years so that shouldn't phase me but I really only wanted natural looking highlights, not to completely be blonde. I have been told it looks nice and that may very well be true but yet, that wasn't what I was going for. My Dad asked what my real color is, "the same as yours dad!" Oh well, I guess I am ready for the summer.

I'm not one for coloring my hair, but i think you look good blonde. It turned out very nicely.
Does your husband like it?

Thanks for your comment. Your hair looks great! I've never highlighted my hair, but have thought of it. I can't right now because I'm pregnant and they say you shouldn't do chemical treatments to your hair when your pregnant.
My ultrasound went well(thanks for asking) as far as I know, I have to until I see the Dr to get the full report. I posted the ultrasound picture on my blog today!

Thanks for the comment.
I did listen to that series from Revive Our Hearts that you shared about a couple of weeks ago. It has just taken me this long to take the challenge.
The radio broadcast was very eye-opening in how our hubby's think and with what they struggle.
I think we get into a rut of how we interact.

Hey, i just got my No Greater Joy magazine and read an article about dyslexia that was very encouraging.
I'd love to share it with you. It is on their website at www.nogreaterjoy.org under articles and dyslexia.
Hope you're having a great weekend,
tracy
