Something About Nothing ... #12

[keishashadow]

I like my hair sparkles. I do lighten my hair a bit - I'm a natural dark blonde of a shade that I don't like on me. I purposely leave the dye on the minimum time so my grays don't hold the color. I think I look better with lighter hair and the sparkle adds some nice highlights. I am hoping all my hair turns that shade - then I'll stop dying my hair except when I want to do something fun. On that note, I'm thinking of adding some pink soon. I did purple last summer for a few months. My husband hates the unnatural colors. He knows not to tell me not to do it though, as then I'd likely do it more.

My mum and dad are coming to visit on Sunday before they go north for the summer. We're going to take them to some flower and garden show. I expect the children to be fully bored so hopefully it goes well. At least there's a break in the heat! It was in the mid 90's two days ago. Today's high isn't even supposed to reach the mid 70's.

I 'accidently' went lucy red last year. Was trying to match my roots, red undertones in my processed dark blonde hair went buck wild.

Not those cute little peek-a-boo sections of color which I've had & love, the whole freakin head was an un-natural hue.

The process to remove said color was really rough on my hair. Took multiple processes & 6 months to get it back in normal ballpark. Thank you olaplex for restoring my fried hair, just did a treatment today. Love that stuff

Now, when feeling frisky, i just take scissors to my bangs. I need a hobby lol.

Oh wow! I use Arctic Fox when I want unnatural colors. It coats the hair, so it doesn't damage it. It does fade away over time but I found dying it back to the medium blonde got rid of all the color faster if I wanted a change. I was more than peek-a-boo when I went purple though.

Fry-day for many. I'm sick of fried fish. Thinking maybe shrimp stir fry for dinner (freezer, don't fail me now!) inspired by Lynne's chicken idea.

Sympathies to the mom's of tween/teen girls...hormones in the air seem worse than the pollen count. Although I must announce it is snowing here. Mid 70's forecast for Monday, thing we'll solider on nicely.

Lol re the hair sparkles. Haven't touched mine since mid December. That's not my roots peeking thru, i'm rockin an ombré

I was a horrible teenager! Hard to imagine now......... Not to my mum though......she was always the best!!! You have snow!!! Oh my........we are supposed to be toasty on Sunday then cooler........but this time of year snow should be a thing of the past!!

at their age it is good I think-wine enjoyed in peace LOL-unless I actually need answers and not annoyed grunts


Mine tells me I just have a young heart so hair needs to reflect that Although she did (delicately) raise the issue of doing an all over color first (to match my base/real hair) then adding highlights for better grey coverage. I love her-she was afraid of hurting my feelings by suggesting this! I figure she is the expert and she is just doing her job by suggesting better way but apparently people get offended ?


Me too!

People get offended for the least little things today........I always take advice from those that know what they're talking about.........a good honest reliable stylist is worth her/his weight in gold!

I dropped as soon as I got it. No cases were in the store yet and I keep dropping like a DA

thats like me...hate eggs but love mayo

Isn't it weird our likes and dislikes........Tom loves, and I mean loves real honey........type with the honeycomb inside the jar......he goes direct to local bee keepers too........I don't.......yuk! He likes Mayo too.......I do, but it doesn't agree with me........

I forgot about that red!!! That seems ages ago........glad your treatment went well today.......sounds nice! I have been known to trim my fringe too, when it starts going in my eyes.......I cannot cut straight, so I claim it's the choppy chipped into look.........

Wow!! That is purple...........


Cheesecake went down well, only had a tiny little bit......DH had slightly more .......and my boy adored his flourless chocolate cake........that won't last long!

@kohlby I love the purple!!

My stylist know she always needs to even out my bangs when I go in! It's not terribly crooked so anyone notices but my stylist always knows!

Schumi-I love real-honeycomb-in-the-jar honey! Friend's dad has become know as the bee rescuer (apparently he needed a hobby upon his semi retirement LOL) and now keeps several beehives. I watch her cats when she goes back home to visit and I get gifted with honey!!! LOVE it. Although I noticed yesterday making the chicken that my honey stock is low....

Early but I am beat. We are on tap for great weather tomorrow for our Cajun cookoff event. Event is outdoors at farmers market (has an open air pavilon) so 77F and sunny is perfect.

Two days off in a row for the first time in a while. Tomorrow is a dinner honoring members of my DH's union for years of service. He gets a 15 year pin or something and it is a free meal. I am happy for a Saturday off. DH made taco salads tonight. We are enjoying cocktails and catching up on a few TV shows we DVR.
Here in WI, our expected day tomorrow is sunny and 72. Three years ago this weekend, we had to snow blow the driveway "up north" at the lake house. WI, if you don't like the weather, wait a couple of hours.

Oh, and Schumi...honey in a honey comb is sooooo good.

 

[macraven]

Last week at this time I was in WI and it wasn't no time warm...

Enjoy your two days off work

It will go by in a flash

My husband would love you!!! I cannot get a taste for honey at all.......and all I see is bees! But, can ignore that vision in a sauce or dressing

Hope your have a great day.......Cajun cook off sounds amazing.......good luck.....

I'm definitely in the minority with this dislike I have of honey of any kind........everyone seems to love it! I have taken the highest number Manuka Honey for medicinal reasons.......that was a struggle! Wish I did like it as there are so many local places all over the UK that make some beautiful stuff apparently.......

Sounds like a fabulous weekend........great start with cocktails! Hope you enjoy the dinner tomorrow night and weather too. Scotland is like that........don't like the weather.......hang around for an hour or so.......four seasons in one day........

Seems ages since you got home.........



Saturday and I'm up early again.......found old episodes of Murder she Wrote on tv......all good when Jessica is on......

Going to pick up some more light fittings I ordered this morning, just got email that store now has them in stock.......hate a half finished look so will be glad to get them all up.

Not sure what else is planned for the day.........will see what we feel like.......looks to be a lovely day.........

Have a great Saturday.........

Glorious Saturday. Errand running. I should be a mean mom and wake the kids now. Eh, pretty soon, as older one can pump gas for me. He will get a nice breakfast though.

If it was 't for that darn cool wind, I would be basking in the sun. Blue and more blue sky. I am loving it. 80 day in the hunt in the next couple of days. Yes, please.

A funny, I called a tour operator of a tour I wanted to do with little one on our trip. She asked that did we know it would be hot. Um, yes please. We like it warm. I grew up in some pretty sticky, humid summers, so I welcome traveling when it is warm. Heck, we are not beyond swimming in a heated pool when the air temp is in the 60's.

Well, my favorite nonstick fry pan bit the dust. I have yet to find another I like or will not pay that price. Will be in the hunt for a reasonably priced one soon, as it is a staple pan I use.

So, be a lazy homie, enjoy this wall to wall blue sky, and find a good, very large chicken fry pan for me.

 

[macraven]

I always liked gas station breakfast

Be sure to have son pick up one for me when he does gets yours

 

[macraven]

Schumi yes, it does seem like ages since I returned home

Just like vacations, the day after I return from the Orlando ones I always get the blues

 

[agavegirl1]

Hello Homies. Hubby got a nice pin for his 15 years of service in the Millwright union. (ye

 

[macraven]

Yaaaaa!

That's great he was recognized




Will be let you wear his pin ?

 

[kohlby]

Enjoy your days off Agave! I hope they don't go by too fast for you"

MAc - the trick is to move here. Then you won't get the post-vacation blues. I do get the I-wish-I-was-in-the-park-right-now impatience though.

 

[macraven]

When we decided to move south, we did consider Florida

But Georgia won out at the end so here we are

 

[Lynne G]

Hello homies.

We start about 35 degrees and finish around 70. No, we don't live in the dessert, but with a wonderful high in charge, very little clouds and an absolutely blue and more blue sky. Warmer every day as we start this week before Easter.

Time to do some errands before waking little one. I think I hear footsteps. She better be up soon.

Have a beautiful Sunday. Morning homies!

 

[macraven]

It is Sunday but no walking dead


Will have to wait for October and that is a long wait......

 

[ky07]

Very short wait til our trip to the dark side and know if I can get rid of this cough and cold before we go.

Hope your sicky cold / cough disappears soon

If not, you'll soon be in the land of sunshine and that will cook the cold out of youse

I bet you all are so excited for the upcoming trip!

Yes we are mac especially DW and oldest ds since he hasn't been to the dark side since 2008 and hasn't seen any of the Harry Potter and for me it's kong since it wasn't open when we was there last year but worried about the drive down since part of the interstate is messed up in alanta and have no idea how that will affect our drive down

 

[macraven]

Reports here give info for a June date where it will be fixed or a majority of it taken care of

I always drive thru downtown and I do not take the bypass

I hit downtown going south when morning rushour is heading coming to the north

What date are you going and I can send you updates we get here
