Jelly Beans and Silly String

the color purple... car misery... and xBox

....purple... yes. that is what color my hair was the day before yesterday... well sorta anyway. ever since junior high i had wanted to dye my hair... in the 8th grade i streaked it blondE, but that was about as brave as i got... then, in highschool my sister got brave enough to do her hair in awesome styles and colors.... but caught hell or it from certain family members... so then i was like, yeah right! forget dying my hair, i don't even want to put up with that! but a few days ago, with encouragement from the hubby, i got brave enough to do it. i picked up a bleach kit and a bottle of a cool shade of purple dye. cool. we get home and hubby helps me bleach it... fun fun, considering boys don't even know the correct way to brush hair let alone bleach it LOL... but we got it all on there, waited the amount of time for dark brown hair and washed it out... hmm... my head was suddenly three ir four different colors.... spots that were still dark brown, some orange, some very very blondE, and some shade in between those... so... we thought about it, and said, well, all different shades of purple will be cool... so we continued with the process and put the dye all over my hair.. waited... washed it out... all of it... none of the dye took to my hair! is my hair purple? i asked... no, tony said, but the tub is. i was sooo frustrated! by this time, my sister had showed up as a surprise, just in time to save the day. so we made another run to sally's and picked up another bleach kit, and another couple of purple dyes, this time a different brand. bleach again... wash... STILL have stubborn dark brown hair... UGH! dyed it all purple anyway... waited... washed... ok... different shades of purple.. hm.. that's fine. looked pretty cool, guess... lol... i went to wash it the next morning, and guess what? more dye ran into the drain... leaving my hair purple in some spots, a weird orange in others, and brown in other spots... What the hell?!? lol... sooooo.... i gave up. me and the hubby ran to walmarts and got two boxes of black dye, which my hair has been black before, so i knew i would like it... and that solved that problem really quick. lol... i was dissapointed though. i was finally brave enought to dye it, and it didn't even want to stay in my hair... :(

Anywho... the car... UGH! we had a flat tire the other night. uhhh thursday night i believe. there was a huge two pronged metal thing in the side of the tire. so we call Hanks tire and muffler after temporarily airing it up. what time do you close? 5... (it was 4:45) will someone please wait? we've got a flat tire, and need to get it fixed. yeah.. hurry up. so, we drove over there, they fixed it but said this: well, we aren't going to guarantee it, because it's on the side wall, and it is in a really bad spot. it could actually come unpatched when you're taking a turn...

greeaaattt... so now today, we went and tried to find a tire to buy and have it put on... well, turns out, nobody makes the size tire that our vue came with! geez!!! we were so mad... well, turns out, Hanks is bringing some in tomorrow and is going to put it on, but still... i couldn't believe it was going to be this hard to find a tire that came on our car when we bought it! that just doesn't make sense to me. we're seriously considering trading it in because here in the US it seems that only Saturn dealerships know what they're doing with saturns, and in Italy it's going to be 1000 times harder to find someone to work on it, much less buying parts for it. GRRR... anyway....

tony's at walmart right now waiting in line. he's been there since 3pm... and the xbox doesn't start selling until midnight! lol... but he's lucky he got in line because this walmart only got 50 in, and he's about number 12, and the line got long pretty fast. lol... as soon as my mom gets home to watch the baby i'm gonna go keep him company. :)
