Aubrey Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) How does one dye their hair w/ jello anyway? I could call it a Valentine's experiment & not even seem too crazy. ;) IT DIDN'T WORK. Tub, bathroom walls, door, my shirt are all pink. My hair is blonde. Some people weren't meant to rebel.

Sasharowan Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 :grouphug: Although we don't have plumber issues (knock wood), we have been juggling finances and having car issues and time issues (as in everyone needs to be someplace different at the same time). I feel for you and send hugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristinaBreece Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You could be living my life. Except we already threw in the towel & live with my grandfather. But he's moving out on us this month.... back to crazy high utility bills & scrimping to make them. :grouphug: I'm sorry things are so tough right now.... We'll be praying for you.

elegantlion Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Put a plate in a pillowcase, break it and make it art. Don't let the kids touch as you create a mosaic. Skip school stuff, grab a book or a movie and have some hot chocolate. Have the kids draw valentines cards for dh, shove the carp of life under the rug one more hour/day and pretend you are a beautiful queen trapped in a turret with her small children. We've been reading dragon stories and there is always a beast and princess involved. Picture your dh as dragon slayer realizing that he is fighting and trying. (that bites about his birthday!)

Sorry. :grouphug::grouphug: Reality just bites sometimes. Ok, the plate in the pillowcase made me laugh, which would be great, except laughing made me cry. :lol: If only the plumber weren't still somewhere out there--I'd go take out my frustration on my hair. If the car would start, I'd go get purple hair dye. Since it won't, I'll have to settle for a pair of scissors. But my luck is *always* that if I do something like that a) the plumber shows up in the middle of it, & b) for some reason I have to look really respectable the next day, & it's *impossible.* *Sigh.* So no breaking dishes OR dying my hair OR cutting it. What's left? :D Wait--I know. I'll put some stuff in give-away. Double-effect of non-permanent damage + prettier house. I'm SO rebellious.

One day I was dyeing my hair and there was a knock at the door. It was a guy friend from church who was working in the neighborhood and wanted to borrow something of dh's. My hair dyeing shirt was an old ratty t-shirt covered in many months worth of medium brown and reddish dye, wet colored hair was in my face. I couldn't wear my glasses and I'm super nearsighted and ds was at school (private school at the time). I apologized profusely for Medusa like appearance and smiled until he left. I was so embarrassed. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Oh, HONEY! You are so not alone in this. And I think you know that. It sounds like you just needed to vent. We all love you, care about you, and many of us are praying for you! If I lived close enough, I'd whip up a batch of chocolate covered strawberries and bring them over (just for YOU, you wouldn't have to share! :D), accompanied by a box of Kleenex!;) Hang in there, Girl!

Aubrey Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Shoot. I just called to reschedule the plumber, & instead of apologizing, I got griped at, argued w/, & threatened.

coffeefreak Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 It gets better Aubrey. IT DOES, IT DOES, IT DOES! It's hard to wait for it though.:sad: If it makes you feel any better, I have to go round with my credit card today because I shorted them a dollar and they're going to charge me a late fee. I have no idea how that happened, but I paid them $105 and the bill was for $106. Mistakes happen :grouphug: Next month will be better. :grouphug: Dorinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't the plumber--it was the prop management co. It's ok, though--the guy coming out called back, apologized, & when I burst into tears, he said he'd be happy to come tomorrow. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could call it a Valentine's experiment & not even seem too crazy. ;) http://www.ehow.com/how_4869983_dye-hair-jello.html I love eHow. I did something similar to this when I was in high school. It lasted a few days. Eta - I have dark hair and didn't bleach mine first so it was only noticeable in direct light. But I had some killer highlights. :D I hope your day gets better. :grouphug: Edited February 14, 2011 by Truscifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
