PHASE TWO

As I explain about 2 weeks ago... I was going to make

some changes.. just for fun...  This change is for about

6 months...

It is funny what we perceive about ourselves.  We have

a look, and it is set in your mind, unless you change a lot.

Because as i walk around the house, or the store.. going on

my merry little way... I think of myself like I was a month

ago, and for that matter for over 9 years...  So you can

imagine the look on my face as I walk by a mirror or a window

and see my reflection.  This is so much out of my

comfort zone.  Which is the results I wanted.  To do some

thing that isn't the usual safe Cis.

Well, I got that.. and it sure is taking a LOT of adjusting

to my new look... Even for my friends, and say nothing

about my husband...  "It isn't you"...

To make it worse is.. I do not like red hair. Don't get me

wrong, there are a lot of people out there who look fabulous

in red hair.. My oldest daughter can pull it off very well.

As a child, as a teen, it looked great on her.. Her teen

picture that I have .. I think it is a graduation picture maybe,

she looks BEAUTIFUL with her red hair.  And even now

with it turning grey on her.. she still pulls it off pretty well...

But me.. as a redhead.. no way. Yet constantly it shows up.

My natural color is auburn.. Even in the winter when it looked

it's darkest brown, the red would show up in the lights.  And

summer sun would bleach you my hair to a strawberry like

blonde where the sun got it.. ( wore it in a pony tail 90% of

my childhood, so I would have streaks when I put my hair down.

As I grew older, when I dyed my hair.. the red would come out.

One of the reasons why I gave up dying it.  But I thought maybe

there has been enough time, it wouldn't do it anymore.. well

here is the results...

DRUM ROLL.... ta ha...

before with straight hair...

 after the perm...

After the trim...

and then after the color of auburn..

my girl pal, says she never noticed my freckles before, as much as there is now... 

It sure is different.  going to take a LOT  to get use to.
