Don't try this at home...

The adventures at the Chicken Coop never cease to amaze me. We always have something crazy happening somewhere on our farm. Last night it was in the house!!!

Those of you who know me personally know that I can't stick with the same hair color/style for long. Papa Rooster says every 4-6 weeks he always lays next to a different woman...lol. My hair has been long, it's been curly, it's had the "flip", and now it's short. I was born a dark brunette, but have been every color in the book. Very rarely the same color twice in a row. So now after canceling my hair appt yesterday due to being out of town for my job, I decided to just color my hair myself.

This is by no means my first time coloring my own hair. Up until about a year ago, this was the method. I purchased my color...Garneir Nutrisse Soft Black (Sweet Cola). Something dark to remove the fading chuncky honey and copper highlights I had put in about 5 weeks ago. I've been this color before (so something very very similar), so home I go...

I put the baby to bed and proceeded to the bathroom. I've done this so many times I don't even read the instructions. Slide on the laytex gloves, open the applicator bottle, squeeze in the color from tube, break open the avocado oil and pour in. Shake the bottle to mix. Twist off applicator tip. Begin working into hair.

Finish, look at clock, note time. I now have to wait 15-20 minutes. I walk in the living room and chat with Papa Rooster for a bit. When time's up, I return to the bathroom, towel in hand.

I turn on the water in the bathtub. Bent over the tub, head under the faucet, I glance down at the black water rising closer and closer the the rim...

I wiggle the lever to unstop the tub...NOTHING. I frantically wiggle it again...IT'S BROKEN. In a bit of a panic, I grab my towel, run to the kitchen to get a screwdriver to unscrew the broken piece. NO SCREWDRIVER. Quick, think. BUTTERKNIFE!

I break one screw loose, but the other is too tight for the butterknife to budge. PAPA ROOSTER, HELP!!!!!!!

While he is working on the broken lever stopper, I resort the the kitchen to wash the remaining dye from my hair. I wrap my head in my towel and proceed to the bedroom to dry my hair. When I'm finished drying my hair, I look in the mirror and see......

A BAD ELVIS WIG!!!! LOL. It's much darker than the "Sweet Cola" the box promised, but it's not that bad. It is much different than the lighter 'do I've been sporting lately, so it will take some getting used to. But at the end of the day, it's just hair! Bad cuts will grow back, bad color will fade, and it will be all to do over again!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!
