And the Answer is...
MerlotIf you guessed, what is the color of Ali's hair? you would be correct. Of course if you guessed, what is one of Ali's favorite things to drink? you would also be correct. Not where I was planning to go with this post, but right all the same.
We (Mom and I) colored my hair this weekend as promised (obviously). My Mom said it looked like my scalp was bleeding (not an encouraging thing to hear when you're nervously coloring your hair for the very first time). This text really isn't quite the color (it has more of a purple feel, if you can believe it). I look like I did one of a few things - either I drenched it in red cool-aid, red wine, or I wrapped it in cherry skins (the fresh kind, not the maraschino ones you put on a sundae).
I like it. It's interesting and different but it does not look natural. Not, it doesn't look natural on me, but instead like it just does not look natural - which I've decided is ok.
I do not think I will color it myself again, which is different than I will not color it again. I want it to look like a natural red (as in sort of orange-y) and I want it lighter than it is. I understand this means that it will be a "permanent" color which I am not brave enough to try at home and so I will be saving for (among other things) a professional coloring later this summer.
I'm sorry this is not all that entertaining and when I re-read, it doesn't even feel like it sounds like me. It's as if some stranger had typed the bones of my thoughts and left "me" completely out of it. I don't know why that is or what happened. I guess I'm just in a mood.
I need to go out. I need something to happen. I need to learn to have patience and faith again that there are things I can not control and that will not happen on my time schedule, but exactly when they're supposed to and only if they're supposed to and that I can not influence the outcome either way.
I need. I need. I need.
