It's Loreal...

and I'm worth it.

Ok...

my hair is worth it.

And it is getting seriously gray.

I'm pretty sure my boys have caused this steady acceleration to gray...

it seems I get new ones every day.

And really...

it is quite beautiful.

Not so much gray as white. 

Beautiful snow white.

I guess it comes from my natural jet black hair...

which I have colored since I was a teen and realized that my black hair...

dark eyes...

and Irish skin...

made me look Elviraish...

only without the fab bod and pumped up hooties.

My natural black hair that I inherited from my Grandmother...

she was part Pennsylvania Dutch...

part Chickasaw...

and you get to figure that one out.

But my hair has surpassed my abilities...

a little tidbit...

I'm a beauty school dropout.

When I was younger...

I loved hair...

makeup...

and thought it would be so cool to style the hair of some of my fav bands...


especially since they had a lot of it...

and even wore makeup...

so off to beauty school I go.

No one warned me I would have to start with older women from the nursing home.

And after asking one them 5 times if I was getting her wet while shampooing...

and being told "no"...

5 times...

when she stood up and her entire backside was drenched and she started removing clothing...

and I ran screaming because there were body parts in places that I was not accustomed to them being...

I decided I just liked my hair.

So I then added "dropout" to my resume.

And except for cuts...

though I have at times attempted even those...

I've been able to get by on my own.

But the gray has me beat.

I know I could color it the way it needs...

and I know I would totally screw it up and it would require one of the kids college funds to fix...

so I'm going to schedule an appointment with my guy.

But for tonight...

I decided to do just a quick fix that will only last for about 2 weeks...

and while waiting for the "fix" to happen...

decided to play with some Whippersnapper.

I've had this little guy for a while...

never inked him...

but it was time.

And even though I broke my rule of at least 12 hours before Copics...

I did blast him with the heat gun.

It came together quickly...

just enough time for Loreal to work it's temporary magic.
