Winter Woes.

I am in need of a pick me up today. I am tired for no reason, there is snow on the ground, again. I don't like the way heaters feel in hotels...so I'm wrapped up in 5 layers of clothes (including the husbands, b/c I ran out!) I'm exhausted from my Tae Bo workout (and would like to loose 10 pounds magically without having to listen to Billy Blanks yell at me,) and my hair is officially BROWN.

I am a blonde. I have always been a blonde (well..technically I was born w/a full head of Black hair thanks to my father..but that was short lived.) I like being blonde and I miss it. I think today, my winter woes are a direct result of this boring icky shade.

In an attempt to save my new husband an extra bill, I decided to cut my long locks and add some "low lights" before moving to CO. I thought without the constant trips to the salon I would feel a relief and be happy with the low maintenance. Well, I was wrong. I hate it...and truthfully, he doesn't love it either. He continuously tells me my hair looks great and "as long as I'm happy..." But I know, inside, when I came home with short, BROWN hair..he said a silent hmph!

So..with my return to Colorado..so will the color of my mane. I shall be a blonde once again. You know what, I'm kinda high maintenance. I am, I admit it. I'm sure my parents would have no problem agreeing with this self proclamation, especially after years of salon bills and most recently a year of wedding parties and constant highlights! But is that so wrong? If we can be simply be happier, more productive, more optimistic people simply by brightening the shade of our hair..than where is the harm? Ugh, winter woes..I bid you ADIEU!
