Daniel asked me tonight, while on the phone, if I had people staring at me again. I thought about it for a moment and then replied "Yeah, I guess they are starting up again." It isn't everyday that you see someone with long "raggedy-ann" colored hair. I get lots of compliments with the addition of many curious stares. I have hesitated at times, these last couple of days, when I look in the mirror wondering... am I too old for this? But, this color is me. It's a way to let my personality show. People can look all they want, and they will. I am okay with that - I am only going to go around once, I don't want to have any regrets, and I want to always have been me. And to have had fun! How could hair this bright and bold not be fun? At the completion of the color process in the salon on Monday, my friends all remarked how good it was to have the Andie back that they know and love.
So, "World"... I'm baaaack!

Ya know Andrea, I only wish I had the guts to just forget what people say and be the person I want to be and know that I am: a little bit crazy, very playful, full of life and energy, just me. I was raised though to believe that other people's opinions are very important. Part of that "Your reputation is all you've got in this world"...philosophy. God, how I wish I could just let go sometimes and scream "This is me, like it or lump it"!!!! LOL You go girl!!!! I think it's awesome!!! I can't wait to see a picture!! :) Have a GREAT time on your trip!!!
Oh, and good job Daniel for letting Mom have a mini vacation..she definately deserves it!!! That's really sweet!!

Congrats on the hair!
No, honestly. If it makes you happy and having that color doesn't interfere with anything (like work, for example), there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy it. Who cares what other people think!
I had blue hair for awhile. Well, technically it was black-blue - it only looked blue when the sun hit it just right. Unlike you, I didn't intend to end up with blue hair (especially since I was due to provide medical support at the range the weekend after I dyed my hair) but I did really like it. It did get some weird looks at the range, though ....
as long as YOU like it and are happy with it - that's all that matters! Who cares what strangers think! Can't wait to see pics!
