Number Five-- Dumb Things I Have Done! (I put number six first! hahahahahaha)

I was going to be in my sister-in-law, Janie's, wedding in Houston, Texas.

I had some gray in my hair.

Soooooooo, I got a bottle of hair dye....kind of a reddish brown.....I was gonna look good!

I dyed my hair the day we got to Houston.  This didn't seem hard.  After all, I had dyed Easter eggs before.

I didn't put the plastic gloves on.   I finished-- my hair looked great-- my hands looked like Clifford the Big Red Dog.  I looked down at my hands.  I looked at my hands again.  I washed my hands.  I washed my hands again.

My hands had turned bright red.  Those plastic gloves are a very important part of the process.  Note to self:  Always wear the plastic gloves.

Another note to self:  Always read the instructions FIRST.

A sweet housekeeper at the big, fancy hotel poured bleach over my hands until most of the dye came off.  I cut my "red" fingernails short.

One should never try to be something you are not.



  I am not a hair dyer.  I am barely a hair dryer.
