{Theme Thursday} Letter W

Letter W...hmmm, I was thinking of making my children form a letter W on the floor and taking a picture from above, but then Mother Nature sent me something.

In the Midwest, we have two seasons, Hot and Cold.  The seasons are generally separated by a few weeks of a thing too fleeting to qualify as a season called Pleasant.  We had an unusually warm September....like 20 degrees above average warmer.  October is making up for it.  When I got home from the gym Tuesday, I looked out the window from the breakfast bowl and saw something that made me say,

WWWWWWHAAAT!

Green grass, leaves changing and....SNOW?!?!

 ....and in things that will probably horrify my hairstylist friends, I did something you're not supposed to do and experimented with my own hair color.....I know, I'm terrible, sometimes I cut it too!  I've colored my hair a few times before and the result has always worked out, so I wasn't that worried about experimenting....


......ooohhh, THAT's why you leave it to the professionals! :)  oh well, it was only a few bucks and a few minutes of my time and it's not permanent, so it'll fade out.  For now, I'm torn between actually really liking it because it's kinda punk rocker and not liking it because it's WAY darker than I was planning on going - ah well, if you're going to experiment in anything, you have to be ready for unexpected outcomes :)

For now, I'm going to enjoy being Punk Rocker Red until it fades back into my natural Irish Girl Red.

Stop on over at Clan Donaldson for more Theme Thursday!

  1. I like the hair! I couldn't believe the snow either. It didn't completely melt over here until last night too. Crazy.

    1. Thanks - this weekend is supposed to be great though! I'm glad since I had the bright idea in August to sign up for a 5K tomorrow morning!

  2. I like the hair! Hair grows, so it is a fun way to play around with color and style and not be stuck with something for life. :-D

    I still find it amusing that my family and friends in the mid-west have had much more snow already this year than we have here in Alaska. (I have no doubt that will change soon enough, and it is unusual for us not to have had some of that white stuff (hey - white - W!) but I'm still going to giggle about it this year.)

    1. There were many many times last winter where I looked at the national map and realized Alaska was warmer than us - completely demoralizing for a MidWesterner! The hair is fun - I always get a hard time from my family when I change it because I have naturally red hair - a rare commodity :)

  3. I say rock it while you have it, I'm sure you'll remember it fondly!

    1. It's a little on the purple side in person - I've never had the courage to dye my hair purple (although I've always wanted to), so I'm enjoying this as maybe the closest I'll ever get :)

    1. It was pretty, but a LITTLE early in the year for me!
