Ok, so I missed a day. I was having fun and got back too late to write this. So, how was the day? We docked in San Francisco at about 9:30. It was supposed to be earlier, but there was ‘congestion in the harbor.’ Then, there were a few docking issues. All in all, this…

So second day on the big ass ship. Still seasick, just not as bad. Let me tell you that considering how much we paid for this trip, it absolutely suck to spend it trying not to throw up. Well, usually not quite that bad. Unless the swells are like 10+ feet tall. And they have…

Back to the deep dark plum hair issue. Hydrogen peroxide and water. An equal mix, left on hair for 15 minutes. Guaranteed to lighten your hair. Left it in for half an hour, and…. Nothing. Didn’t do a damn thing. Deep conditioned afterward anyway. So, I have given up. I still wash my hair with…

When we went to Disneyland (and took 4 of our kids, one of their long-term girlfriends, and my ex-husband’s sister (whom I got in the divorce) for our 10th anniversary, I dyed my hair purple. I mean, why not? It sounded like fun and it is my favorite color. I dyed it a semi-dark purple.…
