This is why I never try anything new. Okay that isn't true. This is why I shouldn't try anything new. The funny thing is...it wasn't new.
So for the long holiday weekend I decided to use some hair chalk and create this lovely mermaid look. I've used this particular hair chalk a few times before so
My hair was purple, pink, orange, & teal. It looked AWESOME!!!! Since I knew it would wash out I wasn't too concerned.
I began to panic after I swam all day Sunday and still had pigment.
I washed when I got home and saw a TON of pigment in the water. When I got out my hair was pastels of the same colors and kinda blended.
Don't get me wrong, it looked super cool but...
Monday I was in the Sun all day and sweaty. I washed my hair again that night.... more pigment in the water...so I washed it twice... I never do that!
When I got out I noticed the Teal and Orange were gone but the Pink and Purple were now faded but very much noticeable. That is when I realized it was just in the front and tips. Left side almost a blue and right side pink.
All I needed was smeared lipstick and intense eye makeup.
HOW AM I GOING TO HIDE THIS?!?!!?
Tuesday no biggie but Wednesday BIG meeting. I washed my hair 5 times Tuesday night and did a Deep Condition (suggestions from others). Still fairly obvious shades of Pink/Purple/Blue. I couldn't fix it with drugstore dye. I was told using the wrong shade of blonde could possibly turn the Pink ORANGE and the purple....GREEN.
Which is what would happen because lets face it....this is ME! So I got super creative with my hair style today and somehow managed to hide 95% of the color. The rest looked almost natural with some hair shadow and blonde spray temp coverage....
So as of right now, I have this watered down Harley thing going on with my hair. Honestly it looks super cute but yea....
Most people will say life gives them Lemons at some point in their life, and the common response is "Make Lemonade". Well I want to say I am tired of making lemonade! Why can't life give me a better 'fruit'? I hope you can learn something or at least be amused by some of the off the wall things that happen in my life. I will also post random product reviews, movie reviews, book reviews, etc...I am a random person and like to keep all my lemons in one place.

That's it, where is the "unlucky" rabbits foot...it needs to be salted and burned!
For real though, can we get a "reset the day button". A do-over, like in video games. $hit is going down fast lets try again.
1. My cable company *cough* Comcast *cough, cough* sucks real big donkey d**k. I've tried and tried and tried and f**king tried to make it work with them and it just isn't (stupid contract keeping me in a bad relationship*grumble grumble*). They will be fine for like 2 months and then I have to call and freak out because my service is $hit or because they billed me wrong or pick something, its probably happened! Because of said $hitty service we bought our own cable modem for the interwebs and shockingly enough $hit suddenly works...you can't tell me they don't f**k with your stuff when they have access to it...I sound crazy but I don't think I am. Anyways, I returned their CRAP modem and got a receipt. This was in JULY! It was removed for August, then in September it popped back up on my bill...hold up Mother F**ker what you trying to pull here?!?!?!? I try to call and I can't get through. The call immediately drops WTF. I had FIVE OTHER PEOPLE try from their cell phones (all ATT) and they can't get through...I had someone from a Verizon phone call and it worked...hmmmmm. Also, landlines work....hmmmmm. Whatever, I call, I lose my $hit its credited back and I am told the phone issue is an ATT issue. Okaaaaaaay. They say its a Comcast issue (I'll get to that in the next). I loud cap Comcast on Twitter and finally someone believes me because HIS phone which isn't in LA can't dial the 800# either...I think I heard angels sing.
Anyways....October bill and November bills are fine and suddenly I get a letter "Ooooops we've been billing you wrong, you will see a $10 charge for your Wireless Gateway on the next bill". What the actual f**k?!?!?! I DON'T HAVE THAT ANYMORE! So I try to call and the stupid f**king 800# wont work. I don't have a landline so I loud cap them AGAIN on Twitter. He was helpful but didn't believe me. I sent a picture of the receipt and the letter. He said "July?!?!?!" Yes f**king July! Stop trying to bill me for stuff I don't have!!!! It gets "fixed" after they call me. And I am told again the phone thing is an ATT issue, call them. Mother F**ker!!!!
2. After the 1st insanity with Comcast in September, ATT does some research. They can't see anywhere its blocked. They reset my something to my phone. They checked that I don't have 800#'s blocked (clearly, I don't because I can f**king call them). They are very nice and concerned and trying to be helpful. I get to a top tech dude and he is baffled. They put in a service ticket. They call me four days later and say its a Comcast issue and they will work with them to fix it. K, thanks, bye. After the most recent fiasco I call them AGAIN. I get another tech dude. He basically does the same $hit and blames Comcast. I finally had had enough and said "I don't care whose problem it is tell me HOW to fix it!" I told him it started after Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas flooded. I know for a fact that a MAJOR ATT hub went under and we ALL had service issues for the next week. So maybe check that and quit putting me off. I think I stunned him with my "infinite" f**king intelligence. Look dude I'm not a moron, I did my own investigation before I called. He opened another ticket so they can see exactly what is happening and let me know. Great....
3. My 4 y/o f**king car decided that it wants to leak oil. Why?!!?!? So I call two different dealerships that service my type of vehicle and ask questions. Mind you I've already looked up recalls and known issues and *gasp* this is a known f**king issue with the y/m/m of my car *face palm*. I leave detailed messages with the service admin for a tech or manager to call me but I leave out my knowledge of the issue, just say whats happening.
4. I went purchase something at a store on my way home. There were 4 people in front of me at checkout. I got to the counter. Got my stuff rung up and the f**king system crashes. Not just reboots...CRASHES. The poor clerk was so distraught. He tried everything. I couldn't leave...I needed to make that purchase. 45 min later I am finally on my way home. Wine and soft PJ's are calling my name.
5. I got home and one of the pups had had explosive poopies all over the place. It smelled like something died in my house. I legit started crying...and laughing...but mostly crying. F**k a glass of wine & PJs, someone give me a bottle of Scotch and a punching bag!
Yay for it being my last day of work for the week. I don't think I can handle much more stupidity...

- Dealership 1 calls me back. Oh that sounds like a cracked oil pan (mind you I haven't hit anything and it just started when the temp dropped below 35). More than likely that is it and it will cost roughly $625 because of labor and parts. So I said, I've been told its a faulty drain plug. So they say well probably not but if its that, it is $354 because of labor & parts. I said the part is like $50...you can't tell me it will take you 2.5 hours to replace a plug....? They said yes...okay I'll call y'all when I am ready.
- I get an email from Dealership 2. "We have received your inquiry on the (y/m/m of my current car). That is
an excellent choice! A sales team member will make every
effort to contact you within one hour or less to answer any questions
you made in your initial contact and see how we can help you. We realize you have a choice
when shopping for a vehicle and we thank you for giving us a chance to
earn your business."
WHAT THE F**CK?!?! My response may have been a tad @$$hole-ish. "Yea, I know a (y/m/m of my current car) is great...I own one. I bought it from y'all....I wanted a quote about a repair that I've been informed is a flaw in many (y/m/m of my current car)'s...it leaks oil." less than a minute later I get a call from a service tech. I explain the issue. He says (without me saying anything about the "known" issue) "Oh, they probably left the old gasket on the drain plug. Each new oil filter has a new gasket. If they don't remove the old one the drain plug doesn't fit as snugly so it leaks." I ask about cost...he said "do you need an oil change? That's all it will cost."

I think I bruised my uterus
Is that even possible? And no I am not talking about rough sex, get your mind out the gutter.
So I am clumsy, that is evident...but I am also coordinated enough to dance pretty good, run without falling, and climb trees. I think I am really two different people smashed into one body. Wait...
Anyways, so yesterday was like any other day at the office. We completed a huge project where we organized a ton of stuff for a large client. No really, HUGE project...it took us over a week to complete. Anyways, the stuff was in two decent sized boxes each weighing about 20-25 lbs which I was to deliver today. So yesterday afternoon myself and another lady hauled the two boxes down the stairs and to my car. We did it because the big burly men in our office were conveniently MIA.
- I opened the door by leaning on it and held it open for my friend
- She stepped out, I let the door close
- We both stepped forward towards the curb
- My right heel went in between two sections of concrete (I didn't realize this)
- My left foot was planted and I went to step with my right
- It didn't move...
- I pitched forward
- But there was no foot to put down
- My weight was on my left foot so I couldn't step forward to catch myself
- Add in an extra 20+ lbs...I didn't stand a chance "ha"
- The heel snapped
- I flew forward at an incredible speed
- The box hit the ground
- I hit the box full on with my torso
- The box EXPLODED under my weight and the momentum
- My hands eventually hit the concrete (ow)
- My face went INTO the box (Ow!)
- My legs went up and almost over my head (OW! guess I'm a little flexible)
- They slammed back down, driving both my knees into the concrete curb (have I mentioned OW!!!!)
- I rolled off the box onto my butt and started laughing hysterically wondering WTF just happened.
My friend was so shocked she couldn't talk. It happened so fast! Finally she said "Oh my god! Are you...are you okay?!?!" My response...
Truthfully I felt ZERO pain at that point (yay for adrenaline).
**FLASH FORWARD 3 HOURS**
I am laying on my couch with a heating pad. I took 2 Advil and am watching horror movies on Netflix. My knees and wrists are mostly fine. But now that the adrenaline is gone I can feel the strained muscle in my shoulder blade area, my jaw is tender (I think I clanked my teeth together), my abs feel like I went through 5 rounds with Ali, and I am 99% certain I have at least two slightly bruised ribs.
I can say without a doubt the box saved me. Had I fallen without the box my wrists and knees would have bared the brunt of the fall, possibly resulting in broken bones and I may not have been able to stop my face from slamming into the concrete. So I am fine...I lost my favorite pair of black pumps but I am still mostly intact.
Side Note - I am supposed to run a half on Saturday...a Half...like 13.1 miles. I got this...I think...ha....
