Do or Dye!

This has been coming for some time now... Gray Hair!

Actually, I started turning gray in my early 20's I've been so many different colors that when I see pictures of myself with my natural color it looks odd.

But in that past few years I've noticed that the gray is really really prominent.  My hair grows so quickly that I have to get colored every 3-4 weeks. Who has time for that? Not me!!

With everything that I have going on it just takes too much time and energy to keep hair appointments.  Of course I've colored my own hair but there are just somethings I should leave to a professional.  No one in their right mind would think the greeenish hue to my hair was flattering, stemming from the fact that when I had time to color I would run by and just grab something that looked close to the color that I bought the last time I had a midnight colorfest

So, over the last few months I've decided to let my natural color grow out and let the chips fall where they may.  So bring on the gray, white, silver or whatever it's going to be. That's it I'm going to do it - I'm not going to dye it!

P.S. I hope I don't go through this process and crack at midnight and cave in! 

I'll keep you posted.

You're killing me smalls!

That's directed at myself.  It's been almost a year that I've written anything here.

Like I said in my last entry I really want to try and a blog at least weekly.  Well.... it's been a looong time and there's been lots going on. 

We celebrated 16 years in business at the Garden Gate, Alfresco Productions is continuing to grow, I started a new chapter (pun intended) and opened a bookstore, and am about to start renovations on another old and much loved building in my hometown.

  I've never been one to stay idle.  So.... here I go again I am definitely going to try and stay focused and write!

I hope that's a resolution I can keep!

Time Flies

Where does the time go? When I decided to write a blog for my website I thought this'll be easy.  I'll block out an hour a day just for me to relax, reflect, and write a few words about what's going on. Not that I think my life is so exciting that everyone will be chomping at the bit to follow my every move, but more for me to be able to journal my "adventures" Well.... So much for that! It's been over a year and not one scribble from me, not that I've been idle and twiddling my thumbs! Just the opposite! This has been an action packed year.  I finished my last term as an elected official (I think everyone should get involved in local government in some way), The Alfresco Art Center has been moving full steam ahead and growing at an unbelievable rate.  The Garden Gate Tea Room has just celebrated 15 years! I'm hoping for 15 more! I'm closing in the next few weeks on a book store/boutique I'm rehabbing a beautiful Mission Style Arts and Crafts home to become a Piano/Jazz Bar!.  You'd think I could find something to write about.  So, I'm hoping to really take the time to chat about what's going on so in a year from now I can look back and remember the ride - Because.... Every day is an adventure!
