norsegirlSo there I am feeling all pleased as punch... I stalled away my day, didn't get my hair dyed, didn't go out to buy dog food and didn't shorten my dress and lo, the repairman comes to my door and while he has the stucco-repair on his list of jobs, the roof repair was not. So I was able to ask nicely and he's trying another fix to get that all mended. Obviously I was meant to be home so that could get fixed.
So then I head into the bathroom, I've done what the fates wanted today, I can dye my hair now. And I realize what else I left back in Ontario and forgot to pack... As I'm standing in the mirror, wondering at how my shoulders, back and upper chest all look like they've had ink poured on them and thinking... "hmmmm, never noticed my skin getting all dark like this when I dyed my hair before"... Well duh, it's because I always *used* to wear an old sweatshirt (which I left in London) when I did this before! So great, here we are, mere days before the wedding at which I had selected to wear a strapless dress, and I have a farmer's tan, and I'm trying to dye my upper body black. And not black like african-american, warm brown skin black, no, the blue-black that comes out of a broken BIC pen. Just perfect - I rock.
