Do Brunette's Have Just As Much Fun As Blondes?

[rivermom]

I did it !!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the beauty shop yesterday and now have dark brunette hair w/ a few red highlights in it. OMG, I was there from 9:00 till 2:00 getting my hair colored. :eek:

Not only did my hairdresser have to contend with my bleached blonde hair but also the new hair growth which was a lighter brown. She was amazing though and my hair turned out exactly how I wanted it to.

I know, I know...I can already here ya all say "WHERE'S THE PICS?". I don't have any as of yet, but...I will be heading out on a trail ride today w/ a friend on her horse. I will ask her to take a couple pics for me if possible. If they turn out well, I will post them. LOL

My husband's mouth is gonna drop when he returns home tomorrow. LOL :p

[Forgivenmom5]

At least your husband can't say life is boring Sheryl-sounds like you have a surprise for him

[AngieDoogles]

Where's the pics??? LoL, just kidding. But really, I can't wait to see them. That sounds like such a fun change! I'm sure your hubby will love it!

[DianaB]

Are these gonna' be the picts of you on a horse with billowy material wrapped around you? I can't wait to see how they turn out! What a cool idea!

*Blushing* No not yet Diana. I still have 15 or so pounds to lose prior to me taking my almost naked horse pics. :p

My friend called to cancel today's ride. (Not surprised as she cancels 99.9% of the time after plans have been made) So, my other girlfriend called and wants to get out of her house for a bit.

So, she's gonna come over and we are heading out on the 4-wheeler to go act silly today. I will ask her to take some pics of my new hair. :cool:

Wow, I wish I lived close to you! I'd never cancel a ride, lol! :) I think horses are just SO beautiful and fun. And of course, hanging out with you would be awesome too. :p

Oh Angie, I can't tell you how much I wish for more horse riding buddies. Most of my friends are scared to pieces about horses. And as I said earlier, my horse riding friend has a bizzare life and can't stick to any of her plans/ideas. It used to drive me bonkers and Id even cry at times having hurt feelings. But, now I realize this is just who she is and a lot of her cancelings are due to situations not in her control.

If it works out and we buy this land we want I am getting an older bomb proof gelding for my hubby. He said he'd go trail riding with me. LOL, I think he has pity for me not having anyone to ride with. Bless his heart. :p

I do wish you lived closer. :(

That's the thing about the internet...it brings you together then makes you realize that you are SO far apart. LOL!

I'm glad you've realized that it's not because of you that your friend is canceling. That would be hard to accept, but knowing that it's just her lifestyle and not in her control is easier. I really hope you and your hubby are able to go riding. That would be so sweet...especially since we all know how romantic he is! ;)

[Janet]

I bet your hair looks beautiful Sheryl!!! I wish I had the nerve to change mine, but at my age, I just don't think I ever will. I still want to try getting it frosted a bit after school lets out in May. Right now I still look horrible with all the gray showing through. I need to get that appt. made....LOL:)

LMAO ~ ok ladies listen....My friend Kim came over and well her and I have been out on the 4-wheeler most the day. Let me say this that ummm I look like crud. So a picture right now is not an option. LOL :o

I've been trying to console my friend because she gave me the news today that her and hubby are going to divorce, UGH. :( So, we've had a few drinks, I am cooking her dinner and she is spending the night for "girls night slumber party".

Pictures will be tomorrow or so...

[Chandra Amaya]

awww...guess we ahve to wait alittle longer. Have a great time with your friend & its wonderful of you to try to keep her up now.

Oh Sheryl, I'm so sorry for your friend!! That's just awful news! At least she has you to help her through this difficult time. She's very lucky in that aspect. Maybe things with her husband will improve? Good luck tonight and have as much fun as possible!

[Marilyn]

Sheryl, So glad you like your new hair color, and so sad about your friend. I logged in this afternoon and Mandy, Angela and Traci have been chatting away. 262 unread posts :eek: :eek: :eek: !!!! Wow!!!

[AngieDoogles]

LOL! A good portion of those posts were in a silly game thread. :) We were trying to keep things alive while waiting for more people to sign on...and we were having tons of fun!!! :D

[rivermom]

You ladies crack me up. So...What does one do while having a friend over who decides to call hubby (possibly ex) to talk? I GET ONLINE TO 4WT!! LOL...It's sorta like "going into the other room" I guess you can say to give her "private time".


**Sheryl begins to listen to friend talk to hubby on phone** Ouch, doesn't sound pretty. **Sheryl begins to try to concentrate on 4wt and is having trouble** LOL

Hope we can help distract you and keep you entertained!!! :D :cool: :rolleyes:

[rivermom]

My friend went home. (slumber party over :( ) I guess her hubby decided not to go home, and her sister (who lives w/ them left for some car races). Well, my friend didn't want to leave her daughter home alone. She is almost 14 and has cerebral palsy and was not a happy camper to find out she was home alone.

I tell ya - I almost feel numb right now. It's so hard to see friends around me who are not happy and trying to figure out which path in life they should be on. Trying so hard to find that peace within, if only a speck.

Life is short and I find it disturbing to think that some might go through their entire life never finding true happiness or peace within. To me it seems it might be living hell on earth. Very sad indeed, very sad.

[Gina]

Aww Sheryl, life sometimes is indeed unfair, I am glad that your friend has a good friend in you. :) You had some day, starting with your hair coloring , friends cancellation of horse riding and now your other friend having marital problems wow.. Btw my son's girlfriend owns two horses and she rides, one day she will take me to see them. I doubt that I will ride tho..lol I m chicken.. When you get photos post pleese lol

[AngieDoogles]

Sheryl, that sounds like such a rough night! I'm so sorry you and especially your friend Kim had to go through that. I feel so sorry for her. I think people with marital problems are some of the most unfortunate people on earth and I hate to hear that someone you care about is going through that! Perhaps with time things will get better and if not maybe she will some day be happy with where her life takes her. I just hope she is able to reach that point in her life VERY quickly! I'm glad she has you to be there for her during this difficult time. I'm sure that means the world to her. You are an amazing person to put yourself through the emotional pain of being there for her, that's such a hard road to walk! I hope you will get to see how much your friendship is helping her!

Oh thanks Gina. Normally I am a pretty up beat positive person, but to see my friends hurt really affects me. This friend, Kim. Gosh I've known her since we were 12 years old. We met in Home Economics in Jr. High school. (Do they still have Home Economics in school these days anyway??) Well, her and I know the in's and out's of each other like sisters almost more then we know ourselves, LOL.

Anyway, we've been friends through it all. Both having babies as teens, marriages, divorces, watching our kids grow into adults themselves and have babies. It's incredible really. I've helped her bury both her parents and she will be there to help bury mine, etc...etc... I do wish for her peace and happiness. If I could wrap it and give it away that would be so easy. I guess happiness isn't a gift you can give away but to only give yourself right? Each person having to allow themselves to receive their own gift? :confused:

[Janet]

Sheryl, you are such a good person, a good friend. I sure wish we were all able to get together and meet. I can just tell, you would be a life long friend.

[rivermom]

That's really sweet Janet. **blushing** :o It seems easy for many of us to open our hearts here on this forum and dump our emotions, if you will. LOL I enjoy that the most here on 4wt. I feel I can open up to all of you and blab away and not be judged or frowned upon.

[rivermom]

Ok ladies, here is my new haircolor. Sorry for the bad pic but I was up late last night so my eyes look really tired and well it's weird and hard to take a pic of yourself, LOL. (never done that before)

Anyway, atleast this gives you an idea of the color. :p

Aww, Sheryl, it's beautiful!!! You are such a lovely lady. :)

[Janet]

Sheryl!!!! You are so beautiful...I'm just not saying that to be nice either!!! Great picture, now I know who I'm chatting with.

Maybe that's what we all should do.....instead of fancy avatars....have someone take a nice head shot of us, like Sheryl's and use that. What do ya think?

Janet - actually I think that is a GREAT idea using our headshots in our avatars. If we do, I WILL be changing my pic though. LOL :D I think it's nice as you say to have the face(s) of whom we talk to! Kinda makes it more personal and stuff.

Thank you Angie and Janet for you sweet compliments but seriously I've got to figure out a way to hide crows feet, geez. Oh well oh well. :rolleyes:

[Mandy]

AT LAST.... Ahhhh now i wont have to wait till 1am to see your pic LOL

Sheryl, i LOVE your hair, it looks beautiful!! Has hubby seen it yet? He is gonna love it too :thumbup: :D Thanks for showing ;)

Oh Mandy thanks gf!! No, Robert's on his way home now. Wanna know something kinda funny? I'm a tad nervous too. It's like I have jitter bugs in my tummy expecting him pulling up. I just PRAY he likes it.

I did tell him I had my hair done and the color. He says, "Oohhhh I have a new girlfriend". LMAO, he's so goofy. :p

Ahhhh he WILL love it girl, im sure of it, but i do understand your "jitters" i get them too LOL
Thats what my husband tells me after i changed hair "which used to be often" he would say "people gonna think im cheating on ya" coz i looked different so often LOL
Let us know what he says ;)

[Janet]

I think you look beautiful Sheryl. There is nothing wrong with that picture at all.

I love your hair dark!! I don't know what you looked like blonde but, (imagining in my head) I would think it looks better dark.

And as for the answer to the question on your thread!! I have very dark hair and started highlighting many many years ago...well after having it done for so many years you end up being blonde. I will tell you something...I get ALOT more compliments on my hair being dark (went back to dark with low lights about 3 yrs ago) then ever!And...that to me is MORE FUN!! Everyone can't pull off blonde hair...it was almost like you couldn't see the shape of my face...like it blended into my hair color...AND I am told I look younger!! which, I LOVE just turning 50!!

[rivermom]

I am so thrilled! My hubby likes it. :p He kept smiling and saying "whoo-hooo, sexy Mama". So, I guess that's a thumbs up on his part. LOL :)

We've talked each other's ears off for the past few hours and now he's asleep on the couch. He is sooo exhausted from a very emotional weekend. It's nice to have him home again though. :p

Thanks blowry. That is what happened to me. I started off naturally brown and the highlights over time turned me a full head of blonde. It just wasn't working for me anymore. Indeed it was time for a change. :o
