Saturday....

This morning I woke up and decided I would wash my hair with a really detergent-y (is that a word?) shampoo and see what happened. I ended up with lather that looked like scoops of orange sherbet. I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed. I had to use two different shampoos....one for the top where the color was so bad, and a medicated one for the back since I must have been allergic to whatever she put on my head, and spent the night scratching my scalp to a lovely shade of crimson. The shampoo made no difference....the color remained. Somewhere between copper penny and prison issue orange. So....I called the salon and thank goodness she was working "on call". I had the receptionist give her a jingle....and two hours later she called me back. I went in and she toned it down quite a bit....and I have to say I'm much happier.

She said that when she was in the back mixing her concoction, she had to use more than last time because my hair was so much longer. The stylist with her told her to double the powder....but she didn't think that she should. They discussed it and for some reason....she decided to go ahead and take the other woman's advice. Whatever....just get the flames off my head! LOL....I will take some pics tomorrow, as I just finished watching Madagascar with dh and wee one, and I was laying down, smooshing my do.

I also re-colored Betsy's hair today. Feria came out with a new product for black hair, that is supposed to lighten it up a few shades. We tried it and while her hair is still darker than her normal color, it looks better. That stuff just was NOT washing out. I told her she is never EVER going to color her hair at home again. EVER. I. MEAN. IT.  She is going to have to go in and have a few inches cut off though. It's pretty damaged on the ends now.  Is there an over the counter shampoo that works as good as the professional ones? Every time I ask they try to sell me the $26 per bottle stuff. I know it probably is the best....but can't they just tell me what to use if I don't happen to have $26 for freaking shampoo? Melissa? What do you think?

Anyhoo....Madagascar was a really cute movie. I stopped at Target today to pick up the hair color and it was on sale. Wee one watched it this afternoon, then again with us tonight. I made some homemade potato bacon soup and apple cinnamon cookies, and we had a little picnic in the living room. It was soooo freaking good!

Oh, and yes, the girls made it all night out in the tree house! They said it was "awesome" and "so cool". LOL....JB said that was worth all the hours of work....awwww. Listening to the girls chattering away last night was so funny. I heard, "He was TOTALLY looking at you!" "I know he was!" "He is so TOTALLY CUTE!!!!" They are too funny....even Betsy was laughing. All three girls have blonde hair, and they all had pony tails and hoodies on. They are still in the adorable stage, but you can see that puberty is on the horizon! Sheesh....why do they grow up so fast????

That was pretty much our day. Betsy is at her friend's house for the night and tomorrow they are going to a concert. I suppose the three of us will go to church, and then I'd like to go to the store and get some Christmas lights. We are due for some new ones for the outside. Yippee!!!! I found a Santa gnome today....but I didn't buy it. I don't know why. Well, yes, because I got wee one three tops and a pair of pants instead. Maybe next time.

Okay, I'm going to go braid wee one's hair (dear Lord, please let her have brushed it before she got into the tub!), and relax. I got no sleep last night. Well, I did get some sleep but woke up with two numb shoulders from being squished into the corner, and a bout of seasickness from him tossing and turning all night in the tiny little bed. Then he has the audacity to get up and say, "I slept horribly. I should have slept in our bed." Well duhhhhh.....didn't I tell you to do that in the first place? MEN!
