So… thanks to Husband and a cast of about 30 stuffed animal characters (all with their own voices and personas, thank you…) I was able to color my hair Sunday. It’s …um…interesting.
See I bought this color. It’s supposed to be a nice normal golden blonde.
What I got was a little closer to Moe from the Doodlebops. Don’t know Moe? Behold…
Ugh. My first impulse was to buy another box of color and try again. But then I thought to myself “Self… you got yourself into this mess- now for the love of God, call a professional to get you out of it!”
And while we’re on the subject of creepy television programming…scene from this morning:
Me: WHAT! THE! HELL!
Husband: (Running in from bathroom, shaving cream dripping…) What?! What?!
Me: I just turned on Noggin to watch The Upside Down Show. And IT’S NOT ON. It’s stupid-ass Blue’s Clues!
Husband: (Both relieved and annoyed now…) Oh. Well, that sucks. What happened?
Me: I don’t know. And it’s a really old one with Steve in that damn rugby shirt! It’s not even Joe- the new guy who at least had some variety in his wardrobe!
Husband: Well, I know a certain children’s network that will be getting an email from an angry Mama today.
Me: Damn skippy!
TV: “Bow!”
Me: Shut up, Blue!
Vivi: *burp* AAAAYAAAApbbbbtttttt!!!
So I get on the Noggin website and just for grins, I check the schedule. Do you know when Shane and David are on now? 11:00 and 11:30 AT NIGHT.
Here is my email to Noggin:
So... I turned on Noggin this morning to catch my- er, I mean, my daughter's daily dose of Shane and David at 7:00 and 7:30. But horror upon horrors, THEY WEREN'T ON! It was Blue's Clues! And not even new Blue's Clues- crummy old episodes with fashion-impaired Steve!
Our family LOVES LOVES LOVES The Upside Down Show and now our only hope is to DVR it late at night. We would turn on those two crazy Aussies every morning as we got ready for work. Their zany hipster brand of imaginative play spoke to every member of our family. My husband’s version of the Happy Fly Ditty dance is the stuff of family legend. We have taken to asking our daughter to press the “go to sleep” and “eat your peas” buttons on her remote. Heck, we’ve even been able to avoid sweeping for weeks- those aren’t balls of dog hair, they’re Schmuzzies!
Pretty puh-lease with sugar on top! Put Shane and David back in the morning rotation! Blue and Steve are nice enough, I suppose, but they’re putting us back to sleep! Zzzzzz.........
Hugs and smooches,
The Smith-Jones* Family
*So very obviously not our real last names.

So, did you get your hair back to normal? I almost bought that exact box of haircolor last week. Who knows what shade I would have ended up with...
Oh, and when can I see the husband's version of the Fly Ditty dance? It sounds very um entertaining...yeah we'll go with that one.
I haven an appointment Friday to get my hair fixed. It's so bad, people don't even bother saying "oh... you colored your hair... it looks... nice". They just try to avert their eyes.
Husband can be booked to do the Happy Fly Ditty dance at your party, wedding, bar mitzvah, etc. Just have your people call his people. (In other words- you call me.) ;)
Yah the entire hair color thing...I just go see my guy Brent....let him do it...and am thrilled with the results because one time when I worked at a pool...a lady's hair turned GREEN after a home color/pool swim.
Yikes.
