Day 18: Certifiable

        So....I got my hair done this week. It's only a subtle change.

       Okay, so it's a little more than subtle. Right now, I'm really excited about it and think it's really cool. But, I might just be thinking that because this is the most dramatic thing I have EVER done do my hair. I can't tell if I really like it or not due to the sheer shock of it. Also, the color isn't the same in every light. Like in these photos, it looks more yellow-y and brassy. But in the photo I took when I got home from the salon, it looks softer. I don't know. I've gotten lots of compliments so far, but those people might also be in shock. I went to my old middle school and spoke at college day today. The best part was having one of my own students politely escort me on campus:

Student: "Hello, Miss. Are you a speaker for today's event? Let me show you to the waiting area."

Me: "Why! Thank you!"

Student: "Hey, wait minute! Aren't you Mrs. Snyder?"

Nearby Students, in hushed and awe struck voices: "That's Mrs. Snyder???" 

        If nothing else, this was a fun experiment in human reactions. Husband isn't so sure about it yet. He told me that I looked great with my dark hair {isn't he sweet?}, and that this was "different". I'm pretty sure that he, too, is in shock. I'll give it a week or so to grow on me {get it, grow on me! Ha ha!} before I chicken out. The nice thing about going lighter is that I can just cover it up and don't have to try and suck the color back out {like when I botched my home job and ended up with hair the color of eggplant!}. Worst case scenario: I spend $10 on a box of Nice n' Easy to cover it up.
