But this played a part too. I know I shouldn't be posting porn like stuff on my blog -- but f* it. And now y'all can see the new hair color.

Not sure if it's going to stay around for a while because it's a bit darker than I anticipated, actually. But, I'm going to try it out for a few weeks in the interest of not causing my beloved hairdresser yet another nervous breakdown!

Last night was a TON of fun. I haven't had that much fun and cut loose in a long time... And today, I remembered why as I have staggered about the house grunting in pain with every step I take and sounding like a bowl of Rice Krispies every time I get up. But, then again I am old enough to realize that I do, in fact, need more than 5 hours of sleep in order to feel like a productive member of society.

The GOOD news is that I have yet to get a single Christmas task accomplished nor any decorating, but I have somehow managed to not have a nervous breakdown over it. Probably because our house is such a disaster that I have little time to think of much else.
