because purple is my favorite color

I’ve been wanting to color some of my hair purple (again) for some time.

This was the first time I used bleach to lighten (part of) my hair before coloring it. Seriously nasty stuff. I’m sure the fumes killed a spider that has been hanging around my bathroom sink. Also, after it was on, my hair got hot – really hot. I had to ask one of my twins if it was supposed to do that. The purple was easy, but I did have to be VERY careful to clean every accidental smudge right away.

I love the lavender that is blooming in front of my house. The bees like it too. As do spiders, apparently.

Have you done anything unusual (for you) this summer?

Happy Writing

    Saw your van at BelSquare today. What movie did you see? I’m really loving the lavender everywhere–it likes the hot, hot weather. (Probably more than I do.)

    I do like the purple, hair and all! It’s my favorite color as well and I can’t wait for my lavender to bloom. It’s being really slow…
