Oh Que!

You people are cruel. Not to animals, to me. I've lost track of time but I have been living with only a microwave for the last 8 weeks or more.

I just ate some free range microwavable noodle dish with a vaguely marinara sauce. Even the very good asiago cheese I melted over the top didn't save it. In a just world, that woulda' been a three-day-old, reheated square of homemade lasagna for breakfast. Preferably, a chewy corner piece just this side of burnt.

I did have lunch yesterday at a place that grinds up your steak in front of you and makes the best hamburgers. I almost had the American bison but I decided on plain old beef medium rare with mushroom and swiss. it's the only place that I feel like it safe to eat hamburger medium rare the way God Himself, in His infinite wisdom, eats hamburgers.

Oh, Que! Glad to see you around these parts darlin'!

Is medium-rare even safe where you are?

I'd risk it!

Certain pleasures in life are well worth the risk.

Agreed.

Hear! Hear!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMichael... how the heck are ya?
 
Bleaching out the fire engine red. Today I will be Crimson obsession....woot!

So excited!
 
What shade is crimson obsession?

It is a beautiful shade ... http://i5.walmartimages.com/dfw/dce07b8c-4e45/k2-_3b37ec83-bc8c-44fa-948e-b8b1a57fa68e.v1.jpg

It should come out this color...

I say should because as of right now? The bleaching process does not seem to be removing the fire engine red.... This could be a total flop. I knew I should not have attempted this one at home, but the last one went so well! ...until the roots started growing back which is why I decided to go to a darker, but still fun color... this is a little closer to my natural color.

I was at Walmart last night picking up my Splat. There was a girl (gorgeous young thing) a couple registers down paying for her purchases. She told me she loved my color, when I told her that I was changing it we got into a discussion and she loved the new choice lol. I got a LOT of comments about my color over the past few weeks mostly favorable. I hope that this is not a total disaster. Regardless of whether or not the red comes out I am redying it.... could be very interesting.

Good luck! Can't wait to see the results.
 
It looks great :). I love fire truck red still though :). I tried getting mine on camera but it doesn't capture. I only have the ipad, and light here is so grim at the moment nothing is being captured well.

I am kind of pink now, the bleach did take away some of the red and I am going way darker so I am going to give the color a go anyway. The worst that can happen is I have unevenly colored hair and have to go to the salon next week to get it fixed.... Family Christmas party tonight... YaY

You have gotten me curious.

I would love to see it sometime Elle!

So, this is after 50 minutes of bleaching. I am torn on whether to bleach again or just say eff it and let the nuances fall where they may!

That looks like a pretty sort of clementine corally colour. I like THAT. I just like colours :)

I think I look like a carrot right now and am really looking forward to when it is dry and making it darker.

Mine is nothing so exciting at all. I just had some different shades of red and copper put through as high lights and low lights at the hair dressers. I have curly hair, and the curls make every thing seems darker for some reason, same when I am blonde...when its straightened it is weirdly lighter...but I don't like my hair straight. I AM curly haired, and I don't feel right when its something different.


I :heart: curly hair. So much so I used to get perms alllllllllllllll the time. High and low lights can make such a difference in hair, I bet you look fabulous!
 
Did you like it?

I stopped on my way home and bought fresh organic free range chicken liver and local mushrooms. I have the parsley. Sadly, I made the mistake of also buying fresh baguette. Whenever we have fresh baguette that's all hubs wants for dinner, so I'm making the liver tonight for dinner. It works better anyway because I don't have to go anywhere tonight and I won't have to rush dinner. I can't wait to pair it with some nice red wine. :)

You're always welcome to stop by for dinner. :)

If it were green or blue, I'd say yes, but since both are shades of red, I doubt it will be a problem if you don't bleach it out all the way.

I am so envious of curly hair. Mine is neither curly neither straight. If I dry it after washing it looks more like a lions mane. :sad:
 
Okay, my hands are going to be busy for a bit (no I am not masturbating, I am about to add the color!) so I will be back in a bit!!!
