Market & Girly Stuffs

It is 7:42am when I (first) start typing this, I’ve been up since 7am. I am up early because on Saturdays I love going down to the Farmer’s Market downtown. Especially when I can go there early. When I can get there early (before 9am) there is noticeably smaller crowds (so you don’t feel like you’re constantly being herded like cattle), fresher coffee (Mmmm coffee), and you get the better picks of everything available by the vendors. It’s a brilliant atmosphere, everyone’s always friendly, and I’ve never had a bad experience there. I really recommend going to Farmers Markets if you can because the food is also fresher and generally cheaper than what you would find at a local grocery store. Rhem and I only like buying our vegetables at the market for this reason. We pay half the price we normally would at Sobeys or Superstore!

Onto more interesting things – girly things! *Gasp* OMG I said girly things! This, coming from a TomBoy. lol Today I’m venturing forth and doing something completely wild. I’m getting my hair trimmed. LOL That’s not the wild part though, that’s a normal part of my life when it comes to being a natural blonde and having exceptionally annoying hair that likes to tangle often (split ends are the devil LOL). This is also the first time I’m getting my hair trimmed since about a year ago, as I’ve been trying to grow it out long. But it’s due. The wild part, however, is that I’m getting my hair dyed (I’ve also not dyed my hair in over a year as I wanted it to grow out naturally and with its natural colour for once lol). But not just dyed. I’m also getting highlights!!

I will be dying my hair black (which, to most who know me, is quick a change in its own!!) and then I will be getting purple highlights (PURPLE!!! ^_^). And then, if they can do it, I’m getting a single strip of hair bleached white. I’m doing this because for those that don’t know, my mother has lung cancer. She’s having surgery to get the lobe removed at some point but out of remembrance for her and my Other Nanny (who also had lung cancer), I’m getting this done. “Pearl” is the ribbon colour for lung cancer. So it’s kind of a tribute to Mom & Other Nanny and their strength for dealing with this and still being awesome. ^_^

Please note – I have never had a hair colour that wasn’t considered a ‘natural’ colour (the only exception was when I bleached my hair to dye it back to blonde and my hair was a lovely bright orange colour lol)… so this is certainly going to be a wild change!!!


** Update ** The place I got my hair dyed at didn't have purple... at least not one they could guarantee would stay in and vibrant looking for longer than a week... so I went with a blue type highlight that, currently, doesn't show up much but she told me the colour will come through after the first or second washing.  Yay!! **
