Plantapaloosa

As promised I want to show you more
of my wonderful day at the perennial farm last Fall.

But first I want to thank you all for the wonderful
comments about my fear of going to get my hair done.
or as George says….getting my hair did.

I know I'm a big baby.
I loved reading about your own experiences with your hair and salons….
It's good to know that I'm not the only one who has not
always come away from the chair happy.
Your comments helped me have the courage to go thru with it and
I felt like you were all with me that day.
It was enjoyable to get pampered for a couple of hours.
I had forgotten how great it is to have someone wash your hair and get fussed over.
Wonder if I could ask hubby to wash my hair now and then???

I wasn’t able to get the haircut I showed you was my favorite because my
hair isn’t long enough yet. I’m told the color will lighten up some but right now it
doesn’t look all that different but the cut is much improved
and they textures is softer and healthier.

Today I reluctantly took pictures of myself.
Not promising that they will make it on to this little blog of mine.
I’ve never liked pictures of myself
even when I was younger and prettier.

So instead for today I will show you what I captured
from behind the camera.

The side I like best.

Scared of the Salon

What is it about going to get my hair cut
that scares me so much???




It should be painless.
Right?

I’m not only getting it cut but
colored, highlighted, tinted....
whatever they call it.
See I have no idea about this stuff.
I started having "issues" years ago and haven't been
in so many years.

I knew the time was coming when I had to have a professional figure out
what to do with this mess on my head……
called my hair, my locks…my mane
….my disaster!

But where to go??
It wasn’t until my friend Gretchen got a compliment while in my shop
from a complete stranger.
Who said…and I quote.
“You have the best hair….it’s like young girl hair”
meaning it looked fresh, clean and full of LIFE!!!
and it did and especially the color.

Like this girl!!!
this one is my favorite !!!
so of course I found out where she was going to have it done.
I was determined to have a new DO before our trip to NYC coming up soon.
Really need to not look like a country girl anymore.
I just hope I don’t come out looking like this
teens-hair-styles
or this

You might remember the last time I cut my hair
my inspiration was this
sweet girl.
And when I say cut my hair….I mean I cut it myself.
hair

I did like it even when everyone called me “Butch” for a good month or two.
By everyone I mean my hubby and his best friend….
but I have thick skin so I didn’t care.
What do they know about hair.

Though most people would say "you cut your hair"
Not, oh I like your haircut. Big difference!

This time I want a little more length.

Cute too,  but come on this is Sharon Stone….she’d look gorgeous with Pebbles hair.



Ok I thought I’d have a little fun and show you what my hair looked
like back in the Fall
