Follow-Up

Well, my Jesus Fast is halfway over, which is a good thing b/c I almost went over the edge last night and had FROYO. My council members talked me down and I stayed true to my 7... sort of. I got grief for eating an ENTIRE bag of frozen edamame for dinner. Hello, it is a soy BEAN, people. Beans were on my list. Just because I am from San Antonio does not mean that I am limited to refried beans. Anyway, enough of that. I have been very testy since this whole deal started and drastic times call for drastic measures. That would include eating Gigi's apple sauce squeeze food.

So, now to the real question at hand... Ombre hair.

As I write this, thoughts are whirling through my head... this has been the biggest internal conflict on image since I decided to defy my parents and got my cartlidge pierced when I was 18. Man, I wanted it sooooo bad for years, but I knew how much my parents (MOM) hated it. What did I do? Went up to Boston and got it done the 2nd day I was there. But man, this one is even more serious, because I have reached the crossroads into adulthood and I have my own daughter that will probably get her cartlidge and belly button pierced much to my dismay one day (hopefully I will be unimpressed, although at this point I am not mature enough to admit that I will be...). We get to this defining moment. Jessica Biel, Kristen Wiig, Beautiful ombre hair. For those of you who know me well, you know my long love affair with tye dye. I mean I probably would marry it. I would wear it every day if I could. Well, here is the solution. "Tye dye" my hair. Then technically I could wear it every day. Now this conflict is 2-fold. A. Is it necessary to dye my hair ombre? and B. Is that where I should be spending my money. But, I REALLLLLLY want it.

So, I need your input. DO I do it, own it, and rock it like no other? Mary B- you know you are my inspiration after the RAD DIY job you did to your's last year. Annie O- You are my peer pressure and inspired me once again to reconsider.

Do I take the plunge? If so, who wants to do it to me? I do not think I can bring myself to paying like $150 bucks on my hair. I get my hair cut once a year. At Fantastic Sam's. I sit at red lights now and pull my grey hairs out instead of dying them so I think going to a salon is out for me. So in my 2-fold crisis, at least I am making one mature decision and not paying an arm and a leg for it? Right?

After much contemplation and soul searching, I received a text from my sister that read as this: "911- I will call you at lunch. I just googled ombre hair. Just don't do anything drastic before we talk."
She then proceeded to call me, but I did not have the strength to answer and argue my point b/c at that point in the day I had only eaten 2 hardboiled eggs and a toddler squeeze food.

So, I am defitely a no on the liquid leggings. That is one mature decision. As my Aunt and Mother put it, "you have to have bird legs to wear those things". Let's just say that one would maybe use another animal to describe my legs... Don't worry, I am completely confident with this fact. BUT, do I do the hair or not? And if so, who is willing to come on over and do a homemade job as I do not think I would like to fork over to a professional...

Opinions more than welcome.

Here is my inspiration:

 

I know, I have an uncanny resemblance to both of these girls. Crazy, right? Bahahahaha

To further plea for a litle intervention, if I did i my self, it would most likely turn out like this.
