A NOTE TO SELF:

If you read my previous answers on the survey, you will have noticed one of the answers....that I remember....everyday that I must be getting dementia. Well, today, I did it again. I actually had my hair colored last week with the intention of getting a weave to lighten up my "natural" brown hair color which Jenny, my nephew's wife, does for me. Well, I had it colored and then decided to see if I would like it just colored with no weave. Yes, I came home with brown hair only. I'm not sure if anyone really liked it, but I did get a couple of compliments on it, and some said nothing. I take that as "they like the weave in it better". So, after trying to get used to it just being brown, I finally decided it was too dark for me and I would just go back and have Jenny do the weave. I called her and set up the appointment, anxiously knowing I couldn't get in until today at 12:15. On Monday evening, I reminded my husband I would be going over to get it done and also indicated to my Son, who stopped by that I would be in A.F. and could stop in and check on Sarah......so I knew I had the appointment and would definitely want to keep it. I got up in the morning, setting out to get my housecleaning accomplished by 11:00 and get ready and go to my anxiously awaited appointment. Sarah called me at 9:15 and we visited on the phone until 11:00. I had dropped my cleaning to answer the phone, so when I got off the phone, I continued to finish what I hadn't yet completed. This all happened prior to me showering. When I got done, I sat down on my bed and began watching a movie that Kay was already watching. At 1:15, Jenny called me, laughing and questioning me if I forgot something..... Yes, my anxiously awaited appointment had gone past and she knew I was full in my head and probably figured I had forgotten.......So, once again, I have to remind myself every day that I am probably slowly being infested with that disease called dementia. Do you do this as well? Please say yes, so I can move on from the fear I have. BY THE WAY, WILL SOMEONE CALL ME TO REMIND ME TO CHECK MY BLOG TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS RESPONDED TO THIS BLOG POST, SO I CAN FEEL BETTER? THANKS SO MUCH.

That is halarious... so did you go and get it done!??? I think it looked great as all brown and I told you that. You can't even tell that much!! So even if you didn't get it done, it looks great!

No. I told Jenny I would leave the brown hair that I was uncomfortable with until I needed it done again. That's my punishment! He he he! No big deal, however, because many have given me compliments on it. But, thanks Shana; that makes me feel even better about the color....LOL
