Just My Normal Crazy Ways

First, I just finished colouring and highlighting my hair. Oh and I trimmed my bangs but, they need to be done properly when I'm more in a mind to fuss with them.

At least I can see.

At the age of 2 I had white hair it was so blonde. By 10 I was just blonde. By 15 I was dirty blonde and by 22 I was mouse poop brown. I'm a touch on the lazy side (hey!) so I used to go for highlights so I always had that dirty blonde hair look. Then I decided money was tight and I started to dye my hair. I'm pretty sure I picked the lightest blonde I could find the first time I coloured my hair.

Stopped traffic I did.

Anyways, years later I dye my hair light blonde and now that those highlight kits are out I seem to have something going on because I get more compliments on my hair than I ever have before.

Then I notice my eyebrows are black.

So, I start putting a little dye on them for about 10 minutes and they are a touch lighter and I don't notice anymore.

Tonight I was at the highlighting stage and realized I hadn't put any colour on my brows so I took the wand and put some highlight on them. I checked after 10 minutes and it didn't look like anything was happening so I shrugged and left it on for 20.

I now have zebra eyebrows.

The good news is I can't stop laughing at myself.

35 years old and it only dawns on me as I look at my new striped eyebrows that that little concoction you mix up is straight bleach.

We'll see if anyone notices. *snort*

Second, I restored my computer to it's factory settings!! Whoohoo, wha..

Huh, I was expecting more excitement.

Anyways, I can now see pictures, I can see banners, I saw a beer bottle over at Jay's blog and I could see the Smart Bitches birthday decorations! And I finally, finally, got to see LLB's banner for reader comments at AAR. I'm telling you, there is a whole new world out there for me to see.
It also turned out to be much easier than it used to be. One time it took me a week to restore our computer but, since then I discovered that the disc that was with the unit was scratched. Being cash strapped kept the thing from being thrown into the street and I'm pretty sure it was just pure luck that 654th time that it loaded. After that one, I told Bob we wouldn't be able to restore our computer again. There was one other time after that but I was able to duct tape that bitch back together.

Today, it took the computer 10 minutes to restore itself.

I cleared my calendar for this! I'm not sure what to do with all this free time. We lost all our files and old e-mails but, what the hell, we'll call it spring cleaning and be done with it!

Oh, I lost all my favourites too. On that note, anyone know if you can alphabetize your bookmarks in IE? I did it once a few years ago and it makes things easier to find but I haven't been able to figure it out again. Ah well, I had like 40 bookmarks. I guess I will stumble upon those sites again some time.

My next project is to find the book that will be read for the TBR challenge. I'm not sure this is a good time to read a new author because I just finished Anne Stuart and well, you already know *gush* so I'm trying to be fair in picking a book.

While at a certain chain store I picked up a copy of Diane Gaston's latest (we were buying a bunch of other stuff so one book can be purchased in such a case) because I can't find the Mysterious Miss M which has received good reviews. The Wagering Widow has had good reviews but, I'm kinda stalling.

Eh, I got a month. Wait.

*scribbling, mumbling* carry the one...

Crap, I only have 21 days left.

I can't take the pressure!!

I know, I'll go look in the mirror. Sure to lift my spirits.

Damn, it's still funny.
