Yes, I've tried the purple shampoo, and yes, I've tried apple cider vinegar (which surprisingly turned the green to a blueish color). So I went to a salon and inquired about what I must do...because, after all, green/blue hair will not suffice while working at the Biltmore. Apparently there is a mineral wash that people can use (because the stuff in my hair turns out to be mineral build up)...it doesn't just get out the color, but the yucky stuff too that builds up on one's hair such as medication, wax (not the ear kind), and such. Frankly, it looks like salt, but I didn't want to taste it.

Demineralize
My hair (since my last blog about my hair) has turned an even brighter shade of green. I had an interview with the Biltmore Estate about two weeks ago, and I thought I covered the green pretty well. Not well enough, I guess because my interviewee was explaining proper uniform protocol and then proceeded to mention that my hair can't be green. At least my hair color didn't stop me from getting hired! Phew!

After one wash and rinse, most of the green/blue did manage to come out of my hair! Yay! I have one more to do and from here on out, will be washing my hair at various locations that will not dye my hair green.

Happy...23? Really??
This weekend was absolutely wonderful and I so appreciate all of the warm wishes from everybody! It's hard to believe another year has gone by and yet, I still get asked what high school I attend. Sigh.
Progression of day:
- sleep in
- wake up to Bailey's nose in my face sniffing for signs of life
- went out to lunch at my favorite little eatery in Fairview: Sugar Beet Cafe! best eggs benedict EVER
- Ryan, Taylor, and I went into downtown to walk off eggs benedict
- came home and played card game: He** yes! I lost...there should be a rule about that on one's birthday..
- ate favorite dinner: grilled hamburgers and artichokes
- digestion
- ate cake! (y mother made a home-made lemon cake with fresh lemon-sugar icing (see below) in the shape of my favorite flower: the sunflower. and yes, it was eaten quite quickly...yum!)
- deep sleep
| Bailey, our choc. lab, excited about her new toy |
| Complete destruction of new toy.. |
| On our way to Sugar Beet Cafe!!!!!! (by the way...this is right after I curled my hair...notice the slow progression of 'straightness' my hair undergoes!!!) |
| Ryan and my grandfather, D-daddy |
| Mom and Ryan...and this look would be how I describe their relationship.. |
| Me and my grandmother, Bam(a) (literally 30 minutes after said 'hair-curling') |
| Delicious sunflower lemon cake :) |
| Yay! 23! (straightness overcomes all) |
| Resourceful use of birthday balloons for uncles' sake :) (notice proper placement of "outie" bellybutton) |
