Yay, omnis!

A question for the hair coloristas:

A few months ago, a friend tried a suggested combination of henna and cassia on her hair, which was a medium blonde. It now has a somewhat uneven reddish hue. She has blonde and silvery gray roots. She'd like to see what her natural color looks like, but she'd also like to disguise the transition.

A henna website suggested a mixture of full fat yogurt and amla to remove or lighten henna, and she was going to try that.

Anyone have any suggestions?

(She and I got into this hair conversation because someone at work gave her completely unsolicited advice about what she should do to her hair.)

Awesomecakes with awesomesauce sprinkled with awesome jimmies, omnis! And them telling you three full weeks early means that you're a dead serious finalist.

And yay for Harvey-having, and another school interview; all in all, well done and good show, This Week. Next Week: Please pay attention and take notes.

Seriously, Jilli, you can't keep missing this! It's not allowed!

Well, damn, I've been a local since it was a one-evening event in a wee little club, and I still haven't been (I was even in the planning stages of a gown for the '06 ball when I found out Matilda was happening, and all thoughts of corsetry were set aside; I think the pieces are still at my friend Charlotte's house somewhere).

From the IRS website:

Stolen property. If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless in the same year, you return it to its rightful owner.

Go omnis! Go Barb!

(Barb, I'm totally restraining myself about my crush. You have no idea.)

Foster cat had barfed three times when I got home today, twice on the couch. Poor wee scone. Let's hope she keeps some food down tonight.

Let me know if you want a place to stay while you are here omnis.

Yay omnis and Barb!

I'm sorry foster cat's having problems, smonster.

A henna website suggested a mixture of full fat yogurt and amla to remove or lighten henna, and she was going to try that.

The amla might tone down the henna. I would suggest a couple of baking soda masques beforehand to see if it lifts any of the henna.

Henna binds to the hair, and doesn't really come out for 99% of people. If you have my email, I can talk to her in depth about it.

Thanks, Plei. If you get an e-mail from a person named Nancy, that will be her.

CRAP! I thought I was all set for the SNOWPOCALYPSE Pt. 2 - Electric Boogaloo. I was going to make mac and cheese and scones, and flirted with the idea of making cinnamon rolls. I go to make the bechamel for mac and cheese. AND I'M ALMOST OUT OF FLOUR. Crap!! So bitter! I didn't even think to check, I always have flour.

I'm getting comfy with wine at hand. Actually skipping working tonight and just doing some catch up on the TIVO queue. Fringe is first on the list since I fell asleep shortly after it started last night.

DH and Bobby are at a big basketball game tonight. DH's team is now 21-0. Very happy for them. Bobby has some health stuff going on. Doctor yesterday was saying words like Neurological consult. His blood tests came back today and the only thing way out of whack points to allergies and he has just had a big growth spurt so I am hoping for something easy or temporary. Will talk to doc at length over the weekend since he is a friend.

Also on my mind and nerves, tonight my first born has just taken off with a group of friends for the first time in his car. Eeeep!

I'm about the calmest non-worrying person I know, but I have this unease that is an unaccustomed feeling. But kitty is at my feet and Brandy is snoring next to me on the couch so I anticipate feeling more at ease soon. takes another sip of wine
