hair in a box and some other stuff

Last night I dyed my hair red. Because if there's one majorly important lesson my mother taught me it is: There is nothing wrong with hair from a box, even if it comes from ShopKo and was on sale.

Apparently my sisters didn't pick up on this lesson because they both have professionals do their hair. They don't even go to Super Cuts, but to actual hair people that probably went to the same school as the people who work at Super Cuts.

I'm fine with hair in a box (it doesn't even have to be from ShopKo.)

Also I think that I will look 40 pounds lighter if my hair is red. That's the theory, right? (This is where you lie and say you absolutely know that theory, and holy cow I look practically anorexic with my new hair color.)

When I really do get skinny (sure, that will happen) my reward is getting to dye my hair black. It was black in college, I also had a fabulous tan. I was the envy of everyone -or maybe a couple people -or maybe just that one girl who was seriously delusional, which explains the enviousness.

So I got my M&M's newsletter (I'm not kidding, they really have one, and being addicted to the little chocolate morsels like I am it's practically a given that I'll subscribe to an M&M's newsletter - sheesh, who did you think you were talking to here?) M&M's is having a halloween giveaway thingy where you can win $100,000,000.

But you have to enter a UPC code to play it everyday. Upon finding out this information I was almost bummed. Because I didn't have a bag of M&M's in the house. But then within 2.7 minutes I successfully rounded up 3 empty M&M packages, so now I have 3 days to play the giveaway game.

I would be embarrassed that I actually had that many empty M&M packages just laying around, but when this addiction pays off in the form of a million dollars I am going to buy a swimming pool, fill it to the top with M&M's, and swim in it. And then I'm really going to have a lot of empty wrappers, so these 3 are going to seem like nothing.

I bathed my kids this morning. I drew a picture about it.

What a coincidence! I have a box of light auburn hair color from Walmart that I was planning on using tonight! I hadn't heard the 40 lbs. lighter theory yet. Now, I'm psyched!

Seriously... when I get to my target weight, I'm cutting my hair and bleaching it. Serious.

The only m&m's I like are the wild cherry ones. And I think I just dreamed them up because I can't find them in the stores anymore.

Hey, are you sure you aren't "too thin"? Ever since you went red, you've just looked WAYYY too skinny.

And can I come swim in your pool after you win your million bucks??? That sounds like my kind of recreational activity:)

Hey - thanks for stopping by my blog! And I agree with Jen - ever since you went red, you totally look like Kathy Griffin, all skinny and such. But you look WAY younger and prettier.

I, too, have NO PROBLEM with hair from a box. Ever since having kids, my hair's so much darker than it used to be. About a month ago I was trying to dye it a golden blonde and it went horribly WRONG! (I actually have a post about it. "Change is BAD" in my sidebar.) (I hate it when people plug their blogs in other people's comments, but this has something to do with your post and is kinda funny.)

And I'm half tempted to go buy a 30 day supply of M&Ms to be in the giveaway!! But I would probably eat them all in like 8 days and gain 15 pounds and HATE MYSELF.

But good luck to you!!!! =D

I am fully addicted to m&ms, too! I'm still sad that they don't have the crispy ones anymore...they were one of the best.

Also, I LOVE red hair! And I heard you actually look 45-50 pounds lighter with it. If it hadn't taken me 5 years to get my hair back to its natural color-I'd be right there with you on the dying thing.

GIVEAWAY (of the photo Christmas card variety)

I think I just creeped out my four year old. I pulled out the, "You'd better go to bed because Santa's Elves are watching you to make sure you're being good!" routine. His eyes got big, and round, and scared. And he said, "Why would they do that?!" Also, our church building burned down yesterday. No wait, it didn't. But the alarm went off, and the entire ward just sat there in the chapel (and gym, because we have an enormous ward.) I sat there too. I don't know what everyone else was thinking, but the thought going through my head was, "Can somebody please get that alarm turned off, it is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!" Seriously, I think our ward is now 37% deafer after that. Oh, and there was no actual fire. And the first fire truck to show up was driven by one of our ward members who was on duty that day. Good times. And now, that GIVEAWAY: For procrastinators everywhere (that would include me) I'm giving away one free photo Christmas card d

little pieces of my heart will be for sale at D.I.

I have this thing about my kids clothes. The thing is, I LIKE BUYING THEM CLOTHES. I get in trouble frequently for this. It's just that the old ones get so boring after awhile. And I hate it when the really cheap clothes look like poop after washing them a couple of times. Luckily, I live in a city that has outlet stores. I love outlet stores (and Ebay!) Alot of the time you can find higher quality clothes for Walmart prices so how could I NOT buy them? It would be like wasting money for me NOT to get a couple $4 shirts at OshKosh. Right? RIGHT?!! The problem is - we have tiny closets. Miniature, puny, ridiculous, TINY closets. The other problem is - I have saved EVERYTHING. Not only are the kids' closets chuck full of stuff, but we have multiple rubbermaid bins in our garage full of baby clothes they've all grown out of. Also, we may not be having any more children. And I say "may not" because if I say "for sure not" someone will have to co
