Going Grey?

Is it any shock to anyone at all that I found a white hair on my head this morning? I refuse to call it grey, just merely by the negative vibe that word is infused with, so I choose to consider it white. It’s a teeny little thing, sticking up – kind of saying “screw you lady! Im here to stay!” Most likely that little white bugger is also thinking to himself “and im bringing all my friends over for a partaaaay!”

 

Lovely – just lovely. So now youre probably wondering that im 45 years old… maybe even 43… ok ok maybe just maybe im 39 and getting that early grey thingy. Well guess what? Im 26… yeps 26 years old and I found a white hair. My darling husband told me it’s a figment of my imagination and its not really there. When that tactic proved very wrong, (after I bludgeoned him with the nearest sharp object), he approached the subject using logic. “you’re life is stressful, so stay away from stress and it will go away.” Aha – the old “ignore it and it will go away” type of solution. Yeah well ive tried that with things like dental visits, in laws, and housework and usually all that solution does is cause you bigger (and more painful) bridge work, pissed off parents and a failed semester!

 

After my husband realized he was getting no where with his calming abilities he sort of felt the best method to deal with me during my serious crisis was to sympathize. “its ok honey, I get them too sometimes ….” Yeah thanks Gramps… just what I want to hear… im an old lady with grey hair. Wanna tell me also that my boobs are drooping?

 So it got me thinking … if I really am going grey at my such young and perfect age of 26, maybe its time to rethink this whole ‘religious hair covering’ thing. Granted I try to keep religion and my personal life separate (its much safer that way) but this might not be such a bad idea. Come to think of it, all these old farts these days have these gorgeous hot momma wigs and they look ½ their age, and it sometimes works (usually only when done in conjunction with botox) …. But maybe its time I invest in a few more wigs…

 

So heres my short list based on my analysis:

-         a weekday “work” look

-         a weekday “party / going out” look

-         a weekend “casual / doing errands” look

-         a weekend “shabbos / yom tov / shul” look

-         a Sunday “going to the park with the kids and playing ball” look. (oh, wait a minute, I don’t have kids… so scratch that one)

-         a “fancy party wanna look like a ‘hot chanie’” look

-         a wedding “updo” look….

-         The winter “with a hat” look

-         The summer “with a scarf” look

-         The “just had sex” look (that will scare em off!)

 Hmmmm….. then comes the color schemes!

        -           a more blonde for the summer days

-         a more brunette for the winter days

-         highlights to match with the brown / beige wardrobe

-         a more reddish tint for the black wardrobe

 

Oh wait – I forgot tichels ! and hats ! and scarfs ! and baseball caps ! and bandanas ! ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!

 Ya know, looking over this really comprehensive (and pricey) list, now that I think of it  -  one little white hair wont kill me will it ? J
