In this time of economic crisis…where we have 2 house payments, 1 income and me trying to avoid waiting tables at all cost (everyone take a moment to send good thoughts out to the two proposals that are in NY…Momma needs a new pair of shoes to buy groceries!) I’m making some sacrifices.

We’re cutting back everywhere we can.

And one of the places I’ve decided to sacrifice is my hairdresser. Okay, not completely. She’s still going to cut my hair, but I can’t afford to have her cut and color it every 6 weeks. (Katie, if you’re reading this, I’ll see you next week for a cut.)

I’ve been blond for forever. I get a wild hair up my ying-yang every once in a while and color it red or brown but I always go back to blond. since I can’t afford to have Katie color my hair, I can’t maintain my blond at home. It’s just too difficult.

So my BFF from high school and I went shopping for boxed color. And we found this:

L’Oreal Excellence Creme Light Reddish Brown (6RB)

And now, I’m no longer a blond.

Here is a picture of me from this spring:

and here’s the new me:

What do you think? Good change or bad?
