Addams Family

Yesterday I had the Addams Family theme song stuck in my head all day. I think it has something to do with the fact that I have black hair and look like Morticia. Sam and Shannon, who volunteers at Lighthouse a couple times each week, like the way it looks and think I should leave it. But I am so not adventurous when it comes to my hair.

First thing in the morning I hopped in the shower and shampooed my hair 7 times. No difference. Then last night Janis took me to the store to get some Head and Shoulders shampoo, which Shannon told me would help take some of the dye out. After 12 washes and rinses with the Head and Shoulders, the water in the shower had turned brown, but my hair was still black.

Sam told me today that it looks "almost brown" in the sunlight. Great. I'm thinking it's about time to call in the professionals. I'm actually really proud of myself though for not completely wigging out about my hair. I'm surprised that it hasn't made me cry, and (thanks to Sam) I've even been able to laugh about it and sing the Addams family theme song as we walk across the property.

I'll keep you posted on the status of my hair. Hopefully it will be back to brown soon, so I can look in a mirror again without feeling nauseous.
