Roots Are Important, But…

by Lucky Red Hen on March 6, 2012

Having had many weeks without a paycheck coming in (oh, the life of an entrepreneur’s wife is so glamorous!), with last summer’s landscaper calling periodically for his invoice to be paid (oh, Enrique, thank you for your patience and kindness), I’ve held off getting my hairs did (oh, just kidding, that was getting on my nerves).

“But your hair looks great! You don’t have roots,” exclaim sweet people who comfort me for my lack of funds. Yeah, I guess it’s ok and not very noticeable…

But if I’m in a convertible soon, the top is down, and my hair is left to blow in the wind, ERRBODY who drives by will see THIS >>>

Eek! Don’t look! Turn away and protect your eyes from the hideousness! I’m sorry you had to see that. Don’t send me the bill for your therapy sessions (for I have no money to pay it, see?)

Darn it that I’m not vain enough to forego my families food budget and make them eat rice so I can pay for a dye job. We already eat rice and not really darn it. I’m glad I have the willpower to wait and confidence that it’s not my root line you keep coming back for but what’s UNDER the roots.

F.Y.I. These photos were taken in the bathroom, this post was written while I sat on the toilet… helping my sick daughter with her bath (which means I wasn’t USING the toilet, except like a chair by sitting upon the top, with the lid closed).

P.S. I measured and they’re 2″ long O_o

P.P.S. Do you think dressing up a sweatshirt with snazzy earrings is a good thing or should I stop? I think it’s kind of weird, but I like it. ?

Just the opposite of when you were a baby and your hair grew out very blond and the dark hair you were born with was still on the tips, like your hair had been dipped in ink.

I say yes to the funsy earrings!

Love the earrings and your dark roots could be a fashion trend. :-D

So you’re saying I’m on the downhill of life then, going backwards? Yikes. Maybe more people will choose roots over debt and I won’t be alone. Funsy earrings it IS!

Don’t call it roots! Call it two tone. It’s a new trend sweeping the nation. Okay maybe just sweeping UT. Anyway it’s not as noticable as you think it is. Besides the fancy earrings and your pretty smile draw attention away from your hair. But just as an fyi if you have to wait much longer, invest in hats. hahaha! I kid I kid!
