Someone please tell me...

...how a lavender fluid can somehow turn my hair auburn?

I'm touching up (OK, completely redoing) my hair color. I'm about 3 weeks overdue, so I decided fine, just redo the whole thing. L'Oreal Excellence, color 5RB. So you all know my secret. Not that I've ever kept it a secret, mind you...

What I can't figure out is this.

You mix the color with the base. It looks lavender right after you mix it. Just exactly how does that become reddish-brown? WTFOMGBBQ? Let's just say chemistry wasn't my favorite subject in school...

So anyhoo.

I missed the Sprint Cup race last night because of coming back from Laramie (the Texas game). I forgot to set the DVR, plus I kind of figured that by the time I got home I was going to be too tired to watch anyway, what with having to get up for soccer today. As for soccer, Will's team finished second in their division at this weekend's tournament. I don't have pictures unfortunately. Next weekend I need to take pictures.

I finally blocked the smoke ring I made with the qiviut/wool blend I bought in Alberta. Pictures will go up next time. Pattern here.

Thinking about getting this book: Respect The Spindle: Spin Infinite Yarns With One Amazing Tool by Abby Franquemont. Signed copies (once the book is released) are available on Abby's site...

RESPECT THE SPINDLE! RESPECT IT!!!

Which reminds me... I think I have a prospective victim or two to asspinerate... hehehe...

You'll never get me spinning!! never i say never!!

I used to be 5RB! For a long time. Then I got tired of the red fading out. I think I was 5RB for at least 4 or 5 years. Then I went medium golden brown, now I'm 4G and am thinking about letting Angie put gold and red highlights in (help)

Go SMoke!!!

I pre-ordered Abby's book back in June, but I missed the chance to meet her at the sock summit in PDX when I went back east for Ari's birthday. :(

What I'm going to do with a book about spindling remains to be seen. Stay tuned.
