Whine About it Wednesday!
I have officially waited too long to have my hair done. 
It has reached what I like to call The Triangle Stage, meaning that the ends that are still color- treated hold curl and the roots, which have grown out to a horrible length, don’t. So the hairs closest to my head cling to my scalp and the ends stand out, creating the illusion of…a big frizzy triangle.
It’s another week before my hair appointment, so no doubt the clip will continue to be my friend. :::sigh:::
***Hair Update! I *just* received the coolest hair doodad in the mail from Kimberly at The Writing Playground and am forever in their debt! This EZBun thing is WONDERFUL! Very comfortable, and in purple, which is my favorite color.

“Triangle Hair” also known as “Deadline Hair.” I have yet to finish a book without having the hair from hell that requires coloring and a cut. Things –house, laundry, me — just aren’t pretty at the end of a book.
Hey, somebody double check my pulse cause I don’t actually have a whine.
(I love this little guy — it embodies how I feel most of the time.)

I really need a dye job, but I’m having problems deciding what color I want this time. Meanwhile, the roots are getting ugly.

Yep, about time for a color job on mine too. My whine for today would be my allergies/sinuses. Man it is starting to get ugly around here with everyone coming down with this crap.

Can someone please do the homework patrol this week for me? How on earth does one page (which should take about five minutes to complete) end up taking the entire afternoon?? And the process raises my blood pressure through the roof? Ugh!

There is nothing worse than a bad hair day.
Mine was getting on my last good nerve so I took the scissors to it this morning. I gave up coloring mine years ago (I used to hate having red hair!). Now it’s more blond than strawberry and the grey blends in pretty well.

Arrrr! This be Talk Like a Pirate Day, me bucko, and a tricorn hat would do nicely. Hair issues could be resolved by wearing the traditional Pirate Bandana so it can flap in the wind drawing attention away from the hair. Of course, an eye patch would finish the look for ye but since ye have no ocular disfigurements, it’s only an option. You could add a big gold hoop and be done with it.
At least, if you wash up on shore it’ll pay for yer funeral.
Thankfully, I be going to the hair scabbard next week. I’ve already taken a blade to me bangs.
Not a pretty sight. Tar, the clip is a dandy good friend and simulated plummage can be gained by hair flopping out on top of yer head.
The best thing to do at times like these is to head for the skuttlebutt and ration out the grog.

Jen, I know exactly what you mean.
guy speaks to me as well.
Susan, that’s a familiar state around here, too.
Kim, I like you with the red hair. (And my kids always refer to you as the red-haired girl with the cut finger.)
Ginger, the allergies are acting up around here as well.
Fedora, I know exactly what you mean! My daughter had a chapter review in her science last night and it took FOREVER.
Lizabeth, your hair sounds lovely! Alas, I know I will never give up coloring.
Kathy, will Johnny Depp be there?

Ah, glad you like the doo-dad. In the spirit of TLAP day, we pillaged the booth and turned over quite a bit of gold for an assortment of twisty hair whatnots. I’ve worn them the last few days and find them to be awesome. I can even lay down with them without fear of breaking my hair clip. Hooray!

Arrr! Can ye hear Cap’n Jack a singin’ now, Rhonda? Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, a pirate’s life for me! Jack’s a dandy dresser. Ye should simulate his braids now and then. A bead here, another bead there. It be a great look and will weight down the pyramid shape.
Avast! Why didn’t I know about this pillaging?
