Monday Monday...do any of you remember that song?  I know... I'm from the older generation (when you could understand the words).....LOL.  DD#3 colored and highlighted my hair last night and I feel like a new woman.  I guess DD#1 feels like a new woman too....a blonde one!  She isn't too happy about it though so DD#3 might be doing it over tonight.  DD#3 being able to do our hair sure saves us a lot of money.....that's just more I have to spend on new clothes!!

Oh yes, I remember that song.

I typically dye my own hair - but it got to the point where it was getting too light and brassy looking.  I have splurged here in VA and have went to a salon and OMG it's expensive! But I really like the end result.  I colored my hair again myself in MI with a darker color and different brand, but it didn't cover my gray very well... so off to the Salon again!

I'm back on track - really... I am!

B - coffee w/creamer (almost put a scoop of protein in it, but I don't like how hard it is to clean the coffee cup after it sits for the day...) I need to get over that. 

S - GNC protein pudding (30g)

L - Smart Ones frozen dinner (13g)

S - protein hot chocolate and a plum (30g)

D - Oh dear... it's SO hard when I don't have a kitchen.  But the new place I'm renting does!!  Not sure yet....

Vits:  yep

Water:  working on it

My DD does all of our hair and then she pays someone $150.00+ to color/highlight hers and then she comes home and fixes it because she isn't satisfied....LOL.  I've got to go to the salon and get mine cut this evening.  Fortunately for me the girl I've had since she was in the vo-tech learning how to do hair works at Great Clips and they only charge $15.00.

To bad my DD doesn't live near by she is really good in the coloring department. She's never liked cutting or perming though.

I'm so glad to hear you are on track!!!  

Sounds Good!

By The Mamas & The Papas?  I vaguely knew it, but had to check on youtube to be sure.

I dye my hair myself but in winter I really don't like the idea of standing around with not a lot on for 10 minutes.  Thankfully the weather's improving.

M 20 mins walk round shops - dropped off some big clothes at the good will and picked up a US size 6 jacket/blazer - yay!!

I have no idea who sang it.  It just always pops into my mind when I start Monday's post. I have on old set of clothes that I wear every time. They are really stained....LOL.

Using old stained clothes when you dye your hair - now there's an idea... why did I no think of that myself!!

Hi Roz. Yes, even this 34 yr old remembers that song. Must be because I'm the youngest in my family, and was forced to listen to everything that they liked.

I don't dye my hair anymore. I just got more compliments as my natural brown than with the added color. Fortunately I'm not grey yet. It surprisingly really, because the women in my family grey early.

Hope you are having a great day.

My DD is 34 with dark hair and she is pretty gray so you are really lucky.  My 35 year old keeps her hair light but I'm assuming she is probably gray too. 

What's all of the carbs from?

It's been a delightfully beautiful day here.  I got a drive in with Halley, did groceries and am headed to muscle pump    Needed the exercise cause there are serious changes getting ready to happen in my work world.  The regional mental health agency I contract with is having their contract with the state terminated.  So all their contractors, like me, will have to contract with whoever takes their place.  More changes, more disruptions.

The state is doing all kinds of cutting.  They put all of the CCIS offices up for bids and fortunately our Director really knows his job and we got the bid.  Then after we got the bid they said ok...now cut your budget!  Besides cutting out the alarm system, water cooler, cleaning people, rental space etc. we all voluntarily cut our hours so the last girl hired could keep her job.

Good protein menu!!!
