am back!

Have been a week at the in laws in anticipation of my sister in law's wedding.

In a desperate attempt to look half human for the event, I had my hair coloured. I am Asian so have had black hair all my life. The one other time I was sick of the look I spent a fortune buying 3 packs of Loreal home hair colour only to have my hair remain black. So this time, in an effort to tame flyaways, hair-sticking-out-because-of-glasses-because-I -can't-be-bothered-to-wear-my-contacts syndrome, I went to get a professional hair colour job. Now it's a glorious warm dark auburn which looks fabulous!

So off I went to the wedding, hoping no one would notice I didn't know what to do with my hairstyle with this new hair colour of mine. But my dear hubby paid $40 to get my hair coiffed by the guy who did the bride/bridesmaids. I had glorious large curls!! (Again, I am Asian.. which means one of two things: I got straight hair... or I got straight hair.)

Another thing I had was a brand new Spring Races hat! You know, the fancy ones with feathers and flowers sticking out of it?

Guess what happened on the day of the wedding?

It rained... and rained... and rained.... and then it rained more!

It was a garden wedding with a small marquee. Reception held 2 hours after the ceremony at the same place. So... we got wet.

My curls lasted 1.5 hours after being coiffed. *sigh*

The water made my hat a little less... sturdy.

Then... my hubby flattened my hat.

At least my hair is still a warm dark auburn! :) (Congratulations, Rosie!)
