My life has and still is very stressful. I tend to not show it in my mood or on my face, but my body spills the beans. Imagine my surprise when I noticed I have a significant amount of gray hair, for a person of my 33 years.
At this point, I seriously believe I have more grays than my mother. Not a very happy camper.
I’ve been dying my hair since I was 16. I hate my natural hair color. I need to figure out a color that won’t make me look too old or too young. I want to look my age. I’m proud of it. I’m leaning towards a golden blonde.
My spouse told me to do streaks. I wonder if he knows how difficult it is to do a streak in my head full of locs. Anyway, maybe I won’t be afraid to do before and after pictures, once I figure out what I am doing.
If you dye your hair, share the color with me. You never know, you might inspire me to go a different way. I won’t use jet black, that much I do know. Tried that once and I looked like a ghost. I used Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo to wash it out. That’s a post for a different day.
Every year I take part in a summer reading challenge, hosted by Written Magazine. It runs from June 26-September 26. It’s call 30 books in 90 days. I never finish. Not for lack of trying, but because my life is so hectic, especially for someone without a paying job.
I see many of my fellow readers, who are going to participate in the challenge are planning what they are going to read. I cannot do that. It just doesn’t work for me. I’m a pantser when I write, and that also pertains to my reading. However, I know the first few I will read, which I’ll share below.
As I read them, I will do my best to write a review, a quick jot of my thoughts, something…not quite sure how I want to do it as yet. I will also post my list as I go. I want to have an actual count of where I get to this year. My goal is to actually complete the challenge, it is every year, but I can tell from the beginning it wasn’t going to happen in the past. This year I have a better chance.
My (short) list:
These books are subject to change, especially, if it’s boring. That goes for every book I pick up. I am no longer afraid to throw a book to the side. I don’t have to finish everything I begin reading.
If you’re reading a good book share it with me, I may just go ahead and add it to my reading list.
