Blonde or Brunette?

My new look- Ahh- Melissa- what have you done!!! Do you think the banges are cut short enough? I tried to tell the hair stylist that I wanted the new style of banges, you know where they come clear down to the eyes. And what is up with the way some of the hair frames my face & the rest cascades down my back? Yes, I had always wondered what it would be like to be a brunette, and after one night with this cute- yet funny wig- I really prefer being a blonde!
So, in case you would like to dye your hair a different color, might I recommend trying on a wig first!

 

Now, the real reason for the wig- we played "Where is Waldo" in the mall. I, along with my friends disguised ourselves to "trick" the girls for Young Women's and trick we did indeed. :)
Nicole's disguise was perfect! She hung out in the sports store for 1 1/2 hours while I was in the music store- the girls had to find us based on their "For the Strength of Youth Books." The guy working in Nicole's hangout place finally said to her, "Oh! You're a chick!" ha ha ha When the 2 of us were walking around we got MANY funny looks. One girl even looked scared as I tried to talk to her. Although I'm not sure why... I look perfectly normal right?

 

So, speaking of hair- my head & I have been having issues working together lately- let me explain some of our issues & then you can see the solution-
-when I feel like I have to pull it back every day from little hands & food- then it's too long
-what on earth is going on with the little baby hairs at the top of my head? where did these come from? that wasn't in the contract when I decided to have babies!
- and gray hairs at my age- REALLY--- I mean REALLY! I thought those didn't come until my kids started dating!!!
- and the color! blah blah blah the color. I used to be blonde blonde blonde (like Landon) and now it is what... brown on top, dishwater blonde on the bottom & gray streaking itself throughout! Please help me now!
- And finally, the most crushing of all- while laying in my sweethearts arms & talking he sweetly says, "I like the color of your hair?" I say somewhat surprised, "You do?" His quick & dreamy response, "Yes, it kind of looks ORANGE right here!" Baha ha ha ha ha ORANGE! Not even brown, or blonde, or golden, or even red, how about strawberry blonde, or any other color, but ORANGE! So, I knew that my hair needed a little fixing- I called my SIL Janelle to the rescue-

 

Now, Janelle is an AMAZING hair-stylist! She has a natural talent and was able to work wonders & I mean wonders on my head of umm.... hair. So I was really excited until suddenly I saw her mixing up different concoptions to put on my head. The first time I wasn't too worried, after all she had done the same thing before. However, soon she pulled out this ketchup bottle & made up a mix that looked like sweet & sour sauce- wait, isn't that the "orange" I'm trying to get out of my hair? I was a little nervous as she squeezed this gooey mess all over my hair. She told me to "relax" although, I think she enjoyed the look of fear in my eyes. :)

 

So, after the sweet & sour sauce was washed out, Janelle cut & styled it & I LOVE it! Hopefully no more hair issues for a while! Like I said, Janelle is AMAZING! She has an amazing talent! So, happy ending to the story- no more orange hair (for now anyways, and I'm back to being a blonde! ;)

*Also, my sweet sister Brianna, watched the kids for me & is one of the best aunts in the world. She was so patient with me and the kids. Everyone needs an "Aunt Brianna."
