You Did WHAT?



In case you haven't heard, my grandmother is headed to a nursing home in the morning due to her Alzheimer's and thinking it's 1947...and if my mother has her way, I might be getting committed as well.

This because at the moment, my hair is a solid, blazing, screaming red, thanks to some bleach and shocking red hair dye.

I can hear the conversation I'm going to have with Ma:

Mom: Graduation in 11 weeks...and you did WHAT? How is this going to look in the photos?

And then me: Mom, it's semi-permanent, few weeks and you won't even see it...

And then her again: Are you SURE?

Me: I'm sure.

It will wash out pretty soon. I will go back to normal. I made sure this was temporary because of graduation, and because I don't relish walking into my parents' strict German-Lutheran church with a blazingly red head. Might get noticed a bit there.

I wanted it to spice things up a bit. Tired of looking like me all the time. And I think I look rather smashing, to tell you the truth...

Ta,
Bec
