I'm a Brunette

So, the other day I was having a bad hair day. The ends of my hair were looking ridiculously yellow. Not blond, but yellow. So I decided I would dye it a dark blond again, like I had six months ago, when hardly anyone noticed. So, of course, I did; and my hair looked bright red. So I went and bought more dye and died it a different, darker blonde on top. This time my hair looked purple. This is where the tears started. It was labor day; I had to be up early the next morning. And, of course, i was pmsing. I went out and bought a lighter shade of blonde. Hmm. Then thought that may make my hair ORANGE--which I did not want. So, I instead highlighted my hair. It was terrible. Absolutely terrible. But I went to work with it like that, and only half of my studnets noticed. I went in that evening to a salon, paid more money than I've ever paid on my hair, which is now a lovely shade of brown. Quite dark actually. The gal said it should lighten up significantly in a week and be a light brown. I took a pic and will post it when I have more time.

Hannah, I LOVED your pics. The one of you and Matchu made me happy. :) You're both way cute; and you look great in that shade of red! How did your big theory test go? Did you ace it?

Michelle, Michelle, Michelle...do you actually read this blog? :)

Val, I know what you mean about sore throat/sore feet. My feet are not too bad--I only wear comfy flats to work! But my throat--yikes. I bought a big ol' bag of Vitamin C cough drops to suck on and drink water often. Actually, though, I found another lump in my neck, by my throat. It seems worse at the end of a day of teaching, so I'm wondering if that's related to being loud. I'm wondering if I should go BACK to the doctor about it, but don't want to be a ninny.

So, I went on this college retreat this weekend and it was a blast! None of the people with us were in college--or very few of us were. It was back at Hume Lake. There were tons of Biola folk there, which was fun. Melissa, the thin sweet girl from our floor junior year was there. That was neat. Anyway, here's the gossip. I roomed with my new friend Courtney all weekend; she and John are quite good friends. Once she warmed up to me she spent the entire weekend talking about him. She's absolutely in love with him; which is great since my little "crush" has seemed silly to me since the beginning. Now I have a reason to drop it. Of course, then I spent the whole weekend thinking John's little brohter was quite cute... *sigh* I'm incurable. It really is ridiculous, this desire to be in relationship. It would make since if it were directed at an actual person--instead it's at the idea of a person.

Anyway, I'll post a pic of my new hair soon. If we're gonna do Thanksgiving we should probably start talking seriously about it soon, shouldn't we?

I LOVE YOU. All three of you. Lots and lots. And I miss you. I'm gonna try to call some of ya this weekend to catch up.

Lovesies,
Danielle
