Back...to...Black...

Oh...my...

Back....

to Black...

What can I say...

I don't know...What gets into me...about my hair...

{I do....come from Generations...of Beauticians...}

{and...they would ALL have a FIT...seeing...This...

and...not just the Color...

They'd have the Shears Out...as Well!!!}

I wrote...all about Yesterday's Journey....today...

However...

I left out...

the 'Back to Black'...chapter...: )

I... for the Most Part...

prefer...

Red...

Craaaaazy...Red!

but...this time of year...always...Tempts me...to go...

Back...to Black...

{yeah...I'm Crazy....: ) }

As I was coloring my hair...

{now...with Soooo Much Gray....it takes...35 minutes...}....

I was scoping out Auctions....while waiting....

I ran across...an Auction...that was going to start....just a few hours...away...

and..it was an hour...and a half...drive from Home....

There was an interesting...Cupboard...on it...

So...I called the Clerk...

after...I got my hair...dry...

{oh... my...it is...B L A C K.... }

{oh...dear...}...

She told me...at their Auction...they sell Furniture...First...

I knew...time was going to be...tight...

I told her what I was looking at...and...if I wasn't there...Please....wait...

and I'd be there...

She said...to let her know...as soon as I arrived...

I said..."Honey...You are gonna know me...when I Blow Through the Door...

I look like a Very {very}...PLUMP...and...Elderly...

Amy Winehouse...

or...

Gene Simmons...on Hormone Therapy!!!!"

{she... Roared...: ) }

{I told her...I had...Just...Colored my Hair...and...it was...Scary!}

I made the Auction..well...before it started...

The Clerk....knew me...right off...: )

{Black...Bouffant...Hair...Tall...Turquoise...Cowboy Boots...

ahhhh...yeah...}

{not to mention...the tattered...Blue Jeans...OLD...Flannel Shirt...and..Gnarly...Denim...Jacket...

oh..my...a...Mess...}

{we...won't even...Think...about the Patchouli...Stink...oh my...}

oh..my...

Sometimes...I wonder... why...I can't...Simply...

 be..'Normal'...

I try...

I truly...do...

but...

'Crazy'...

always...wins....

yep...it always....always...wins....

Love...to ya...

I Take That...
as a HUGE....Compliment...

{I want to say... I LOVE...this Amy Winehouse...Video...and...Loved...her too...
what a ...Tragic...Loss....
She...soooo Reminds...me of my...Best Friend....when...I was Young...
Doreen...
 She was 17...when killed...in an accident....
I was...one of her...Pallbearers...
{I...was 15...}
I remember Doreen...sharing one of her beautiful...sketches...with me...shortly...before she died...
{she...was also...like...Amy...an Amazing...Artist...}
{She...Truly...Was...So...Full...of...Life...and...Talent...}
 It was of a Girl... with her back...facing...out...
 The Girl...was Astride... a Horse....
Overlooking...a Cemetery....
It wasn't long...after that...
I...was...looking...over her...Grave....
so...similar...to this video....}
{Doreen...and I...made the the Millersberg...Ride... on Horseback....{a 60 mile...trip...} one year...
While riding....past this...house..
she said...to me...
"I'm Gonna...Live There...some day...."...
{It looked like a nice place...but...I never gave it a thought...}
I...have lived here...now...over 30... years...
oh...my....
The...Journey....
Some...day...I'll...write a Book...just about...Mine...and Doreen's...brief....Journey...
{tho...it seemed...like...a Life Time...
at...the time....
To her...
I...guess...it...was....}
oh my...
oh...my...
