So, I went to the dark side--so Darth V. of me, I know. Here's the thing: I have a bald patch in the back of my head due to non-stop bleaching and years of Sun-In streaking. (Did you ever use Sun-In? Did you, huh? That's the WORST lightening product on earth, FYI, and 7th grade in the girls locker room was the last time I sprayed that junk in my hair.) Anyhoo, my hair dresser Kim J. told me that the only way I could get my locks looking like Angelina J's is by using a semi-permanent, non-peroxide hair color, hence, the darker shade of hair.I like my new dark hair, but one of my homies hates it worse than no Sponge Bob on Sundays. He said, "I don't know you anymore; you're not even my mom." To this I replied, "I'm still your mom, even with this hair." Then he began crying, and I scooped him up and gave him a big smooch on his forehead. And then he said, "Now you're my mom again." Kisses solve everything, don't they?
P.S. Of course I can never have Photo Booth all to myself. As soon as I snapped the above picture, my homies crowded into my photo shoot and hogged all my glory. Payback is the worst.
you totally make a foxy brunette!
ReplyDeleteI'm cracking up because I recently got my haircut and when they kids walked in from school my daughter said "Hi, Hannah Suzuki's mom". Except I have brown hair and yours WAS blond. Now we are for sure twinners! Love it, of course, I look the same.

P.S. i love your blog, it cracks me up whenever I read it & August has been pretty depressing for me, so thanks.
Heidi, I love your hair! Are you missin' Da' Ho (Idaho) with a your heart? I'm glad we can laugh together:)
ReplyDeleteJill, If only I could make my dark hair look as good as yours.
Love it! I can't wait to see it! I am chuckling at this post because I was just thinking how straw like my hair is now that it is sooo blonde, and how I long for the days of my healthy brunette hair! Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! You look good as a brunette!
ReplyDeleteI once bought a bottle of Sun-In. I think I used it once before Wade stole it and used it himself! I don't think it worked well for either of us....
Adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou look great. I'm glad I found you. My computer was stolen and I've had to reconstitute the blogs I was reading. I remembered "Mi Madre" but only tonight thought of "Words to Mid Madre" Duh.
ReplyDeleteDarth V. suits you! You're gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteYour neck is so long. I wish for a neck so sincerely. Sun-in was so crazy! Do they even sell it anymore? I did it and had the most fantastic orange waist length perm afterward. Eight grade. Mi Madre was not happy.
ReplyDeleteDo I remind you of a dinosaur? Thank you:) I think they still make Sun-In. So dangerous!!!
ReplyDeleteooo, I love it! I also like the pic with all the kids! So mom like and so fun!
ReplyDeleteOk so I popped over here from Shawni's blog and I have been laughing my butt off ever since. My husband keeps looking at me like I am insane as I laugh at the computer screen. I love your sense of humor and I love how you aren't an uptight, trying to put on a perfect show kind of mormon mom. Maybe I need to move to AZ? I don't find many people like you to hang with in UT!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAbes, We are two gals who like to keep it REAL! I'm glad you had a good laugh. Isn't laughing the very best?
ReplyDeleteOooh, I miss your blonde bombshell, but if going "brown" gives you Angelina hair, then it is totally worth it. Awesome.
