Well, today is Saturday, and I have a lot to do, but decided that first and foremost, I would color my hair. I've been trying not to, because I got so many comments from the ladies at work about how good the gray looks through the blonde. Sometimes I think it looks good, and sometimes I think it makes me look tired. This morning, it made me look tired. I am going with the lightest color I could find, because I want to let it look as natural as possible. I know that sounds like a contradiction in terms, but then when it is done, I will streak it with lowlights. This is something my daughter used to do to my hair, and I really liked the way it looked. It grew back in much more natural looking. Ok, well, now that the color is washed out, I have to wait until it drip dries a little bit more so that I can blow dry and see if I screwed it up. Now I'm listening to Izzy the rat terrier being jealous and whining. She is the most jealous dog I've ever seen. She is Butch's dog, no doubt about that, and she is fine according to him when I am gone, but when I am here, she is vying for each of us to pay attention to her. If we are both doing our own thing, and not paying attention to her, she can't stand it. She has decided just now to go to sleep to ignore us. Her half-hour of whining didn't get her anywhere, and now she is just napping. Yesterday when the same thing happened, and she napped, she started having doggie nightmares, and was twitching and semi-whining, semi-yipping at the same time. We have thought about getting either a kitten or a puppy for her to 'mother' to see if that would help the jealousy, however it might backfire, and she wouldn't let us near it. So, lots to think about. She is a funny dog, and can jump straight in the air 3-4 feet, which is great for frisbee whenever one of us can humor her. But, one of my resolutions is to take her for a walk 3 times a week, and that means a run her until she is ready to drop. I guess today will be the first day. I'm getting anxious about my hair now, and will go blow dry it. We'll see what we'll see.
