My profile pics are out of date - as of yesterday evening I'm a redhead. ;) It will fade back to my natural color, and I suspect it won't take long given that my natural color is so dark. I think I like it, but I don't think I'll do this again for a long while. When I have more gray in my hair it will look better, and the cost is ridiculous.
I was going to ramble on about costs of things, money and how I feel bad about spending it, but I'll snip that as boring.
I may not have mentioned that yesterday I did (after all my fretting) go to breakfast with about seven other coworkers and ex-coworkers, and then went browsing at a bookstore with one of the ex-coworkers. Very pleasant. :) Then I went to Jo-Ann Fabrics and spent like three hours (?!) looking at cloth. And then bought myself some flannel. Blue and white plaid, gray and black plaid, and white. I keep telling myself I want to get away from plaid flannel, but I'm just drawn to it. I want to make myself a dress. "Says the girl who never wears dresses," as Eor commented. I don't, because there aren't many that I think suit me. Did I find a pattern? Nope. I just have an idea. Yeah. I think this is destined for failure, but what the hell. I think if I don't throw myself into it I'll never learn how to sew. I'm no good at starting small, I need projects that interest me. So that I can get really depressed when I fail to complete them.
