I think I put a lot of weight on my hair.

What I mean by the title is, that I count on my hair to make me look good.  I don't wear that much make up and I haven't been wearing much jewelry lately either.  If my hair isn't looking good that day then I am constantly fussing with it.  I just don't feel confident without my hair lookin' good, is all.  Having said this, below are my before and after pictures from dying my hair. 
 Above is after a few months of fade after using Garnier's light brown.  Right after I rinse it out it looks super dark brown.  Weird right?  I don't think I would recommend that product since it comes out so dark and seems to fade out relatively quickly.  Below is the picture of the box.  So my hair probably only matched that color for a week or so.  Another con is that the smell is very piercing to the eyes and nose!  Ouch!

Above is the color I just used on my hair last night.  It felt like pins and needles all over my scalp when I had it on and the smell was also quite piercing to the eyes and nose.  Mas ventilation needed!  I guess we'll see how long this lasts.  I just know I like how I look with brown hair because it matches my eyebrows!   Below is the final product.  I have many coupons for different brands of dye so perhaps I'll stock up and have something to say about each one!
Now, it is raining.  I just came in from watering my zinnia sprouts.  Go figure.  Oh well, it's not like I waisted the water since it was from our rain barrels.  I hope to design a rain barrel system that takes any roof runoff and puts it into one closed off barrel (so no mosquitoes can procreate) and it then can be transferred onto a hose, spigot, or sprinkler system.  I hear that if you have a well you can use grey water for a sprinkler system, but we do not have a well.  I wish I could just figure out how to water the grass just using the water that comes from the shower and bathroom sink.  We could use all green products and it would be safe for our lawn and other plants. 
 
At noon I had another dentist appointment to get a filling done on my bottom left side.  However, I mentioned that the ones they did last visit were bothering me so he chose to redo one instead.  Needless to say, I will be returning Wednesday.  Luckily it is very easy to get an appointment scheduled.  I just hope he knows what he's doing.  Haha!  Oh geez, my confidence in others fails me sometimes.  Today my confidence in my ability to go numb was way low when they ended up shooting my gum up with numbing stuff 3 times just for it to almost take it away completely.  I just decided to suck it up since it wasn't all that painful after a smidgen of time waiting for it to kick in and as he was going along it finally all went away.  Long story long, eh?  So I sit her with a very numb right-side-of-my-face tongue and lower jaw. 
And here is how Mr. Cucumber is doing lately.
