Since today is the day we celebrate the day I came rushing in to the world (mom reminds me that I was in too much of a hurry to get here and she did not get the proper pain relief), I thought I would share how my “getting closer to mid-life” crisis adventure.

Awhile back, I mentioned to Mark that I loved the color hair fad but I didn’t want to be in on a fad.  Because he is used to my crazy ideas, he told me to go ahead.  But, I decided to wait.  Then August happened and happened and happened.  And I got tired of waiting.  I found a good groupon deal and decided I just needed to do it.

Although, I admit I had my trepidations.  Especially when the hair stylist said, “So you want highlights over all your gray.”  Um, no, but thanks for pointing out my hair of wisdom.  Blue and Green please.  I know.  The stylist thought I lost my mind.  Until he finished.  Then he wanted to do highlights everywhere.  Mark, however, asked me to just keep the partial highlights.  Anyway, blue and green for Neurofibromatosis colors.

I absolutely love it!  It’s subtle (well, as subtle as blue and green can be) and fun.  Mark absolutely loves it too.  He was so sweet and said he knew he would love it when I told him how much I liked it.

And for those of you who are shaking your head in bewilderment.  Please know that I am not new to hair coloring although I am new to professional highlights.  When I was a senior in high school my hair was purple (not that bright purple…it was supposed to be red bu my dark hair made it purple).  And Mark still asked me out!
