my aha moment

Ya know the 'hairstyle' that some olderish women wear that accents their lovely, skunk-like, patchs of grey hair? You know the style (and I use that term lightly) where these super-high-contrasting chunks of hair sweep from the center of the part?It's always the woman who have super dark (and for the most part) gorgeous flowing locks. It's like they think their hair is SO grand it can pull off this monstrosity of a style.

yeah, hate that. You're shocked, I can tell.

BUT SO, this morning, I'm driving the girls to school and the sun, which is still low in tke sky, hit the part of my hair SQUARE ON the patch of grey. The patch that's not-so-new to my head. I've been fighting it, big time, for a while now. I have to color every 2 weeks now just to keep up. stupid grey.

Then it hit me. A-HA!!! I instantly really understood why women do that. I mean, why bother? It's a losing battle, right? It can't be good putting those chemicals on your head every other week. Maybe I'll end up having to do it every week? every day?? So if you can't beat'em, join'em, right?

HELL NO!!! I will fight the grey. I will burn every last inch of my scalp before I give it to the skunk-do. And I trust, NO! I demand, that y'all, as my friends, WILL IN FACT, kill me if I ever give up the fight.

Kill me. Kill me dead. I will not do the skunk-do.
