line in the sands

I'll make the best of this trail, I swear, and I'll inspirate dozens along the way, but there is one thing I can not do, frills.

Guys, I can only say this bc your my friends and journal, no offense or anything, but
















if I ever dye my hair from a box, please, just kill me.

25 validation's:

eeuuuwww! I knew an old geezer who went gray in his 30's and dyed his own hair, including the gray hair on his chest. It would've looked more extinguished if he'd left it gray.

Stephanie said...

I can't believe I'm actually admitting this, but I've done it before, and it's terrible. Don't do it. I totally support only getting your hair done prefessionally. Maybe you should petition all the salons to give a frequent buyers discount or something, like a free color and style every 5 visits or something. Then you could get a free color every 4 months!

Frau said...

That's what you've been paying tithing for all these years. Go to your bishop and tell him that you need the money.

Avree said...

Uhhhh why hasn't your dad given JJWT a job yet?

Dani said...

Eww. Sick. Don't even go there.

debbie said...

TAMNS, seriously, dye from a box is so "Western Family". Besides, then it turns all reddish, and not shiny, and then when you're done, you have to style it BY YOURSELF, which is why you even go to the salon in the first place. Death is preferable.

Jackie said...

You die your hair? You mean your'e hair isn't naturally honey colored with sunkissed blonde hi-lites and bronze undertones?

lalo said...

Maybe you could talk the Bishop into paying for you to get your hair done...Kind of like the welfare program? If you make it a medical emergency he will totally take pity on you and pay for it out of the ward budget. PRAYER WORKS!

Wendy said...

Hahaha! So funny!

MissGirl said...

OMG! Have you seen a twenty-year old with gray hair? I have and I still have nitemares.

Stefanie said...

For sure Tamners! Natural, Lake Pal highlights Do Not Come in a BOX! Natural, Lake Pal highlights are gonna cost you some SERIOUS Cash and you are so worth it!

Megz said...

That emergency fund you're supposed to have is for hair appointments, duh!
Also, I can loan you some extra cans of Diet Coke from my food storage when you run out.

TAMNs. I know this is a total sacrifice but maybe you could try to meet hubby in the middle on this one. Tell him how you understand about his loss of manliness with unemployment and you want to help so you'll get your hair done at a...(be sure to insert long dramatic pause here)...hair school...instead of your norm salon. Just this month though, since its Christmas and all, and it's about reaching out to the less fortunet, like hair school students.

Then you can fudge on some other things and not feel bad for hiding the receipts so he'll never find out.

hubby and me - mumsy said...

You can dye your hair from a box? I learn so much here.

Mom D said...

Hair died from a box is agains't the plan. I mean DIY hair color is just wrong. Just read the proc and its plain to see it does'nt qualify as wholesome procreation.

A pricesey saloon is part of basic living expensives and JJWT needs to understand that.

Deborah said...

that is when you know TAMN that you guys have hit rock bottom.

Genevieve said...

O...M...G..Best Post Ever. And I was just standing in the hair dye aisle the other day contemplating lowering myself just this once to the box, but not now. Heck no!

Steph said...

Wow, that is seriously SO SAD that you even had to THINK about something as disgusting and horrible as that. Maybe you could arrange a ward fast in your honor?

Little Lovables said...

This is why I am so greatfull (as in full of greatness) that I'm a hairstylist.

Mrs. Clark said...

These are some of the best validations yet, TAMN. (And I love the Glee Christmas song!)

Melissa C said...

Best post ever! We live way far away from zion, and usually there is a lady or two in the ward that went to hair school that will do you hair for you in an absolute emergency....Thankfully, my hubby just tells me to go to the salon when I get that desperate, as he feels those ladies couldn't really be that good since they aren't working in an actual salon. Perhaps you could offer that, and then JJWT would fear for your hair and just tell you to go to the salon too!

letter gal said...

You *DID* go to hare school, right? Well, then, you should be able to talk to the head of the school and tell her you need to be a model at the next hare show where they exhibit the latest trends in "so nacherul u can't tell highlights/lowlights". I really understand it's a bit (toadly) desprit, but way cooler than coloring your hair from a (should I say it?) box!

: ) Paula said...

I don't get the appeal of high maintenance fake hair color.

Wendy said...

So you aren't self selfcient enough to maintain your own gorgeous looks?

Haven't you listened to all of those lessons about how we need to be able to take care of ourselfs when the hard times come before the second coming?

When things get rilly tough before Jesus comes again, the only girls who will still be really pretty are those who can maintain their beauty without help. I admire you TAMN, but I'm rilly afraid you're slipping here.

Nikki said...

OMG I didn't know it was that serious. Dead serious.

Since I'm a second grade teacher, I think it's spelled "die."
