Drama and pizzazz

This past (three day - it was Prince Kuhio Day on Friday - it's great working for the State of Hawaii) weekend, I colored the bottom part of my hair. The box said fuschia. It's not quite as pink as I would like but it will do. And it was really easy, and I'm impressed it came out as well as it did in my dark hair. I've been looking for a little drama. My husband would argue that I have enough drama, but can you ever really have enough drama?

As I thought to myself that I was looking for a little drama, I thought of a story my mother likes to tell. It's a story a family friend used to tell, supposedly about his neighbors:

Harvey and Thelma had lived in the same house for ages. Their lives were very routine. Chicken on Tuesdays. Meatloaf on Wednesdays. Harvey had bowling on Thursdays. Well, one day, Thelma decided that she wanted a little pizzazz. So, while Harvey was at bowling, she rearranged the furniture. When he came home, he sat down to take his shoes off. Except the chair was gone. So, he ended up falling, hitting his head, and passing out. As the ambulance carried him away, Thelma was heard to say, "All I wanted was a little pizzazz...."

Could we see the pink hair? It sounds cool. I've never had pink hair and am not likely to ever.

Your job must be pretty relaxed if they don't mind partially pink hair.

It's more red. I was -hoping- for pink. A few people yesterday were like - whoa, your hair is red. But I did it in such a way that no one can complain that it's too unnatural looking - if I pull my hair back, it looks just dark brown from the front.
