Yes, I’m Still Talking About My Hair

….and if this is boring anyone, I will throw in a short True Story Tuesday story at the end of this post so you can all see how blonde smart I am!

Well, I got some pics yesterday of my hair and it turned out so-so.  The photos were taken about 6:00 pm after a long day of running around and being out in the snow at least 6 times – making my hair a bit flat and stiff thanks the the spike glue I use in my hair to make it stay in place.  The stuff works too!  Glue for the hair.  Now that’s innovative.

So, here’s the ones from last night and then I’ll show you some that I took today!

TODAY’S SHOTS…

OOOHHHHH!

AHHHHHHH!

OOOOHHHH LALA!

HMMMMMM!!!!!

I could have taken 100 more pics – it’s easy when you’re amusing your kids at the same time!  Anything to make them laugh :o)

IN YOUR OPINION:
Should I highlight my hair again (like this…it will open in a new window) or do an all over color?

TRUE STORY TUESDAY

In late June of 2000 I went with my hubby (well, at the time he was my non-hubby) up to Glenwood Springs for the day with his dad, step mom and half brothers.  They went every year and non-hubby hubby invited me to go this year since we were engaged and getting married in November of that same year.

Anyhoodle….for those who don’t know Glenwoood Springs is an amazing place in the Colorado mountains that has natural hot springs. 

The Hot Springs Lodge has the most amazing huge pool that is naturally warm and you are surrounded by gorgeous mountain views.  This place is open year round – even in the winter.  We went for our 3rd anniversary (November 2003) and it was snowing and we would sit in the pool at night and watch the snow fall down.  Gorgeous – but I digress.

Again, it was late June 2000 and we’re at the pool.  We’re just hanging out and all of sudden there is the parade of people walking around dressed all Pioneer-y and such carrying flags and banners.  They were ‘advertising’ for the up coming Fourth of July parade that Glenwood puts on. 

So, we’re watching them parade around and I kept seeing flags that had the number “76” on them.  After about the 4th one, I looked at non-hubby hubby and asked,

“What does the 76 stand for?” 

And, as per usual, I didn’t even let him answer before my brilliant mind came up with the answer on it’s own..

"Oh, I know.  That’s because Colorado was the 76th state!” I said proudly.

But once the words left my mouth, I realized what I had said and I glanced at my fiancé and saw him staring at me the same ‘DUH’ look that I give my mom (you can read about those in my TST posts about her by clicking here).  He just shook his head and smiled (and allowed me time to figure out what it really meant.)

It finally occurred to me what the 76 stood for – and I’m sure I would have figured out sooner if there wasn’t chuckling coming from Mr. Know It All Fiancé, making me lose my focus and concentration.  It stood for the year 1776 (which I’m sure all you smart people ALREADY figured out).  Amazing. Our first Independence Day.  Yep.  Good thing we were already engaged, because I’m not sure that would have impressed him too much otherwise.

Now, don’t sit there and think how dumb I am for saying Colorado was the 76th state.  Obama during his campaigning said on camera that he  “had already traveled to 57 states and had a few more to go.”  Uh huh!  I’m not the only one!

Well – hope you enjoyed the hair photos and my blonde story.  There’s more of those that I’ll have to share over time!
