and in other news . .
Yesterday I had a streak of purple placed in my hair.
Well, three streaks.
I don’t know why.
And I’m not really pleased with the photo, but I’m not really into photographing myself in front of a mirror so it’s the best I feel like doing right now.
I woke up today and forgot about it until I looked in the mirror.
Luckily, I still like it a lot.
It’s the perfect mid-life (except I’m probably past mid-life) experiment for me.
Not too committed. Not tattoo-forever permanent.
Just spontaneous and a touch of funky.
My mom would have thought it was silly. Mosely thinks it’s funny. Piper Finn thinks it’s beautiful. Riley thinks it’s cool.
And for some reason, it makes me happy.

My perfect mid-life that I just did was pierce my nose.
Ouch.
But cute and funky.

Yes – I have friends that have gone that route – too painful for me. (I hate pain. Really hate it.)

I don't think you are past mid-life. I think that is after 40 somewhere. And I also like your purple hair.
LaceyKeigley
Thank you.
But if mid-life by definition is half of your life I will be doing good to live until I'm in the late 70's.

At least it is not all black……….. 🙂 then reddish maroon, then strawberry blonde……….at least not that permanent huh? I think maybe that would have been a good story to include here! 🙂 Love ya! G
LaceyKeigley
That WOULD have been a good story.
I think I'll let only a few people remember that one for me! 🙂

You crack me up!
I would love to sit down and have coffee (except not coffee because I think it tastes bad) with you one day.

I like the idea of a turquoise streak tucked away in my hair–but I haven't gotten brave enough to do it yet!
LaceyKeigley
Get brave. Turquoise will be fun. I went to The Glade in TR – She's great!! (Tell her I said so!)
