You've GOT to be Kidding Me!!! Again?!?!!!

-
So, I did it . . . . AGAIN.

You may recall my "6 Mistakes in Hair Coloring" post I wrote back in August (click on the title of the post to be reminded), and how it didn't quite turn out like I planned. Well . . . I'm no dummy . . . . but in this case - I just might be. Because, I did it again.

I don't know what happened.

That's not entirely true. I know exactly what happened.

And this time, grocery shopping with a toddler is not even part of the story. This time . . . it was a sale on hair coloring at Jewel. Yes, Jewel. $2.99 for Revlon Colorsilk Coloring (IT'S A STEAL!!!!) So, I bought the $2.99 coloring, and hoped for the best. I went with #47 - Rich Medium Brown this time. I mean, it's Fall, right? Why not go a little darker.

Well, I'll tell you "WHY NOT" Because. . . . Rich Medium Brown is actually REALLY REALLY DARK BROWN ALMOST BLACK! Oh, gees. Let me just show you. . .

Saturday (on Halloween) my hair looked like this:

Today, my hair looks like this (which is actually MORE HALLOWEENIE than the Saturday hair): Ah, well. What can I do? I guess wanting to have $100 hair color on a $2.99 budget is a bit far off, huh? Phil Guy says he loves it, Katie said it looks really cool, and Ella still knew it was me, so I guess I'm not that different. Oh, and the grays are totally covered, so that is always a plus! If I only I would have done this LAST week . . . .I could have said it was part of my Halloween costume! Ah, well. . .

Who knows. Maybe one of these days I will be a blonde (totally kidding . . . if that ever happens, we'll know that I must have gotten the coloring for free!)

    Ok, I just saw you today, and I don't think that your hair is as dark as it is in the picture. I do love your post, though!!! The MOST IMPORTANT thing is that the grays are gone. So, it really doesn't matter if your hair is pink, black, purple, red, or a very dark brown - as long as there are no more grays!!!!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
