Top 10 Reasons Why It's TIME!

-
Well . . . here we go again! Another post on hair coloring. As I was driving home from work tonight, I glanced in my rear view mirror and caught a GLIMMER of silver. AUGH, again. I started thinking of a Top 10 List that I just have to share. So, here we go . . .

You Know It's Time to Color your Hair when . . .

10. you are playing with your 3 year old and she says, "Mommy, what is that white stuff on your hair?"

9. you're husband tells you that you have little silver hairs at your temples that make you look nice . . . and mature. ("Mature" is cool for a 15 year old. . . not a 38 year old!)

8. Christmas has been over for almost 2 months, and you can no longer use the excuse "I was standing too close to the tree and some tinsel fell on my head!"

7. you don't have enough mascara to "touch up" your roots.

6. you're standing in line at the Walgreens Pharmacy behind a "Golden Girl" (aka - senior citizen), and you start to like the shade of her hair.

5. no matter which way you style it (left or right), you can't hide the roots.

4. you notice a gray hair . . . in you eyebrow! (SERIOUSLY!)

3. you actually start thinking about keeping it gray! (SERIOUSLY!)

2. the same "Golden Girl" at Walgreens asks you if you have a kid in college. (SERIOUSLY!)

and

1. you know that the minute you color it - you will feel like your 25 again!

So, my friends, there you have it. My Top 10 Reasons why I know it's time to color my hair. My mother proudly wears her gray hair. My grandma did, too. But then again . . . mom is over 70. Grandma was 88. I think I need to keep my BROWN hair a little bit longer.

This time, I splurged on a $9.99 bottle of hair coloring (Excellence by L'Oreal). The color: Medium Maple Brown. Sounds lovely, don't you think? Oh, and it's supposed to cover grays 100%. Hmmmm. . . wish me luck! ; )

    hahhaa...you made me laugh out loud...and now I'm very thankful to be blonde!! lol I know it may go gray or white someday, but I think those strands can easily be "overbleached" or "ooh, that one's REALLY blonde!" for a little while longer. :)

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?...
