Behind every great man hair’s a great woman.

​Let me take you on a journey.  You might need to close your eyes to picture it. I realize it’s hard to read this with your eyes closed. But it’s easy if you dye.  And just like that, the idea evaporates into thin hair.

​Sometimes we go to great lengths to have a little fun.  When it comes down to it you need to hair to be different.  And what better time to do that, but now, during a stay at home order?

We had it all planned out.  I would dye just the tips of David’s grey hair red.  Then in 4-6 weeks when he goes to get a proper haircut, any remnants of this brilliant idea would be cut off.  Then he would do the same to me. All hair in love and war, it’s all hair and square. 
​
Until it goes wrong.  This story does not have a hairytale ending.  

I’m desperate, I video chat with our kids so they can help me with the hair necessities.  They were laughing so hard they were ZERO help.  Clearly, David needed a shoulder to dye on.  This took way too much time because once we decided that he needed to wash out this bad idea, it was too late.  His hairs were thirsty for color.  We must have been caught in a conundrum – In England, RED must really be Metallic Orange because there is no question, Bozo the clown was not pictured on the box.

It’s no big deal.  We’ll just cut it off! Ummmmm but with what?  I have no scissors, heck, we don’t even have a proper bed to sleep in.  My hands are dyed, I must order scissors from online.  The kicker, they don’t arrive for 4 days.  Four long days, Four working days that he must endure video chats.  Four days in which I hope he doesn’t hair a grudge.  I couldn’t make heads or cattails of it.
 
My parting words:  Don’t dye this at home! But really, dye not?  If we’ve learned anything, life is too short not to have some fun!  Anytime, Anyplace, Any hair!

Shout out to David!  “Just one look at you and I know it’s going to be a Lovely Day!”   How could I not love this adventure?
