New Hair...

I like to get my hair done...it feels good and there is nothing more relaxing than sitting under a dryer reading a trashy magazine for an hour then getting a scalp massage.  Since I'm getting more and more gray hair and I'm not ready to grow up and accept it, I color my hair regularly.  Usually it's no big deal.  Sometimes it isn't even noticed by everyone.  But yesterday was an exception.  I always go darker in the fall/winter but I have never had my hair this dark before.  We decided on dark (it's almost black and I am really hoping it lightens up at least a little bit) with red highlights.  I got mixed reviews from my family.  Here were their reactions:
Mark - isn't a fan.  He says he feels like he is cheating on his wife when he looks at me.  He wants me to go in and fix it.
Brett - says it looks purple, likes it better lighter
Erin - didn't notice until her friend in the backseat of our car mentioned it, says it's "fine"
Kehli - says it's pretty (but I wonder if she said that because everyone else didn't like it and she didn't want me to feel bad - she gets extra allowance this month!!)
Kendall - "Oh mom, did you get your hair done?" Me: "Yes, do you like it?" Kendall: "No."
Evan - "It's okay"
Adam - loves me no matter what color my hair is :-)

I've decided to just leave it.  It's growing on me.  I may never go so dark again, but it's temporary.  Change is good no matter how big or small.  It's my hair, right??
