Do Blondes Really Have More Fun?

So I am thinking of changing my hair color. I've been a blonde all of my life (see below), but I think it's time for a change. Until about 4 years ago, I've been a natural blonde. And then, for some strange reason, I decided that I wanted to start chemically enhancing my (already blonde) hair. Great idea. Now, every couple weeks, I need to touch up my roots (which are apparently really pissed that I started dying my hair in the first place because they now grow in a nice shade of dark brown...). What it comes down to is that I'm tired of dying my hair but I am too vain to just let my roots grow out. In addition, I really like being a blonde. It's all I've ever known and I don't like change. So, the solution that I am currently mulling over is to dye my hair brown in an attempt to allow my roots to grow out and eventually get my hair back to it's natural color. Any thoughts? 

Me, very blonde at age 4. Can you tell how excited

 my cousins are to watch me open Christmas presents?

Will Harper still recognize me if I dye my hair brown?

These are the times that Harper (and I) got up last night. She's usually a good sleeper - except when she's sick. And last night she was sick. Don't worry. She's fine. It's just a cold. 

I'm telling you this as a bit of a disclaimer. I am a little tired this morning and my brain is a little fuzzy. That being said, this post is about to get a little weird. Stick with me. Remember, I'm tired...

Ok, so I'm driving in the car this morning and it's raining and gray and cloudy. Suddenly, a clip from the movie The Matrix Revolutions pops into my head. It's the part where Neo and Trinity are fighting the machines in the machine world and to avoid being overtaken by them, they fly their ship above the clouds. It's at that moment that Trinity realizes that while the machine world is dark and raw and violent, above the clouds the world is bright, peaceful, and beautiful. 

Here's the clip (yeah, I actually found it on-line. Amazing.).

 

Anyway, what made me think about this clip this morning is that when I look at the sky and it's gray and rainy, 9 times out of 10 I totally forget that just above the clouds, the sky is blue and the sun is out. Maybe I need to expand my perspective a little. 

Miscelaineous Music - November Edition

I'm a sucker for singer/songwriters and Ray Lamontagne is one of the best. I pretty much like everything he does, but the song that I posted today, Shelter,  is what initially got me hooked.
