When I turned 50, I decided to age gracefully, to let my hair take on its own natural color. I don't mind the gray... After all, it's natural highlights..right? Others must not be of the same opinion though. My grandson asked me months ago, what that big gray spot on top of my head was. Curiosity soon had me in front of the bathroom mirror, with my glasses on, to see what he was referring to. It didn't take me long to find out. A huge patch of gray, sitting right on the top of my head. Funny how I never noticed it before. Then in that same visit, my son tells me... "Mom, you really need to dye your hair." Shocked that now 2 people in the same day had mentioned my hair and it's...grayness, I snapped back, "Shaduppppppp!! I'm aging gracefully!! (Bless his heart, he hasn't mentioned it since.) Now fast forward to a few days later... Tim is in Walmart picking up a few things and comes home with all kinds of goodies. My fave chips, (Lay's Classics), Reese's Cups (YUM!), some craft paint... and hair color? Looking up in genuine surprise, I asked him, " Are you dyeing your hair??!" "No! I got it for YOU" he said. That Reese's Cup...it didn't even make it to nightfall (and might I add it was delish !) The craft paint... I've been using it on all kinds of cute crafty stuff. The chips...they only lasted a few days. But 9 days later... the box of hair color still sat on the kitchen table. And a few days after that, .Hubby places it on top of my computer monitor...a kindly reminder for me to use it, I suppose? I started to wonder what happened...Something must have went horribly wrong because I thought I was aging gracefully? I guess not as gracefully as I had hoped. It sat on my desk for a while, then we get a phone call from his mom and her new hubby, inviting us to come for a visit (she lives a few hours away)...So I guess I'll just save it and do my hair a few days before we go visit them... After all, he did get the right color. Thanks for stopping by! Please check out my new Facebook page here
