Because although I&#8217;m pretty good about the &#8220;early to rise&#8221; part, I, a self professed night owl of night owls, never ever go to bed early. I love staying up late and have missed the late night outings available only in the city.<\/p>\n<p>So when my good friend and hair dresser extraordinaire asked if my girls and I wanted to make our hair appointment for 8 pm I thought &#8220;heck yeah we do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You must understand that this town folds up and goes to bed by 9.\u00a0 So an appointment starting at 8 (and on a school night even) seemed so rowdy, so wild, so even better than the city (pathetic I know, but at this point I&#8217;ll take what I can get). And you know, it really was better than the city.<\/p>\n<p>We went to my friend&#8217;s adorable, deliciously girly salon located at the back of her house and had our own small town, &#8220;Steel Magnolias&#8221; moment. It was so fun visiting while being pampered and styled. In fact we were having so much fun that we didn&#8217;t get home until nearly one o&#8217;clock in the a.m. &#8211;Rowdy!<\/p>\n<p>And so begins my journey back to being blonde (I&#8217;m taking baby steps to move away from the very dark). Rick is so happy (what can I say, the man loves me blonde) and I&#8217;m relieved that he is the only man I need to impress.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-780 \" src=\"http:\/\/wordsforthisday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hair-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordsforthisday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hair-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordsforthisday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hair-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordsforthisday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hair-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordsforthisday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hair-2-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wordsforthisday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hair-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 85vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Because when this little four-year-old pictured behind me first saw my hair he said, and I quote,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Mom you used to not be the ugliest one in our family, but now you are.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So precious.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because the subject of my hair came up this week in an earlier post, I decided this post from 2009 would be fitting for #tbt.
