humor being relative in this case

Damn it, with H gone this weekend on a boys-only camping trip*, got bored. Relief from boredom involved trip to store, chocolate followed by coffee followed by pina coladas with extra rum followed by hair dye and plastic gloves and bathroom mirror. Suffice it to say, the end result is, ah, hmm, well, it's red. Whereas formerly white towels are orangey-pink.

Fortunately it washes out in 8 - 12, which means it will either wash out in 2 or never, ever.

Thinking will leave it 'til H gets home. And tell him that I bought new tie-dyed towels, though don't think he'll buy it.

Redheadedly (and slightly hang-over-ed-ly),

*First time have been left alone since we've been married. Pooh. Obviously, of course, he'll never leave me again if all absences lead to such disastrous results. Hmm. Think have discovered key to keeping him home.

I like red hair.  I've been a red head for years.  Take a picture, I want to see!

Hey, if he bought your explanation about the laundry 'accident' that happened to his shirts, he might just buy another laundry 'accident' for the towels.

I hated being left alone for those 'boys only' shin digs.  It's happened exactly three times in the 11 years we've been hitched.  The way I got it to stop?  I went off on a 'girls only' weekend.  He didn't care for that much.....(I'm available if you ever want to give it a shot)....

I also like red hair, but I generally think it looks better on other people. But having had nearly black hair all my life, red is definitely weird.

Picture, hmm...I'll think about it but it might violate my take-no-picture-of-myself-and-put-it-on-the-Internet policy. Though I suppose I could take it from the back but that might be tricky, and last time I asked H to take a picture of the back of my hair (right before I cut it all off to donate to Locks of Love), he took a lot of pictures of my butt and NONE OF MY HAIR. Dork.

Ooh, time for an update: He's gotten rid of two or three of his shirts and he BOUGHT A POLO SHIRT WITH NOTHING WEIRD ON IT. Sorry for the all caps but you have no idea how exciting that is! Imagine, my husband, wearing a normal shirt!

I think a girls-only weekend with you would kick ass. We could meet up in Vegas, play some slots, do some shots, crash a Celine Dion concert, end up on America's Most Wanted, reminisce about Oxford in our cell with a scary cellmate named Bertha . . . ah, the possibilities.

Cheers.

Oh, red hair dye. Why is it that when we want a change, we always go for the box of red hair dye. My hair dying incident back in December still has be living down the unfortunate nickname of "Red." My boss has even been known to address my pay check to "Red." Try explaining that at the bank

Amusing blog! It's even more so since I did mine last weekend, and guess what color? Red, oh yeah! I'm a sucker for red-heads too, having been born with natural black hair. Mine is more cinnamon red-I like it!

Pina coladas...yummy!

as someone that's married to a redhead {do not let the grey hair fool you} colleen is still a firebomb redhead underneath all that white.

I said all that to say blonds are fun, brunettes too, but give me a red headed fire breather anyday.

--Redheadedly (and slightly hang-over-ed-ly)--

Did H like the new look? Did you like it while you were still drunk?


--I think a girls-only weekend with you would kick ass. We could meet up in Vegas--

Like the Vegas motto says,"What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas"


Awhile back at work, we had a potluck and I took in some cupcakes. I asked a guy in my department if he wanted one. He said,"Hell no! My gut is getting so big. Not only can't I see my feet I can't see my (you-know-what). My wife says I really need to diet" I asked, "Why? She don't like the color of it now?"

I want to either put some Red in my hair, or dye it Jet Black... I can't decide... but this isn't about me, it's about you.

your crazy! although a crazy red head - thats hot!
