Something I started working on last night. Done on my iPad using Sketchbook Pro.

I Bought a Better Dye!
The semi-permanent dyes were driving me crazy. Even the best brands needed refreshing every week. So I went ahead and bought something more permanent. I redid the dye today. Colors have not changed, but hopefully the colors last more than a couple weeks. We’ll see. Anyway, here’s the latest pic of my hair.
There are a few place where the teal and pink have mixed together to make a nice purple. I love the color. In fact, I love it so much, one day I may eventually bleach all my hair just so I can go crazy with the color.
Move It Mama Monday! Hey, remember how I used to blog about exercise?
Hey, remember when I used to blog every Monday about exercise? Been a while since I’ve done that, hasn’t it?
All I can say is I got eaten alive by my schedule the past two months. Between end of school year activities, Balticon, Girl Scouts and other things, Move It Mama Monday has been a low priority. And exercise has been a low priority too, I’m afraid. Not that I haven’t been exercising. I have, just not the way I normally do.
I’ve managed to make it to at least 2 hours of karate class a week, but not 4. I’ve been walking a bit, with a little running mixed in. I think I did a few workouts on the Wii this past month. But mostly what I’ve been doing is cleaning my house.
Housework is dirty, sweaty work, especially when it involves a lot of heavy lifting and going up and down stairs. I’ve done plenty of both activities thanks to my desk breaking last week. Afnd I’ve been actively hauling bags and boxes of stuff out to the local charity shop for donation. The house is slowly becoming habitable again, and I will continue to clean out the place until I can easily navigate through every room. My biggest task is still ahead – the garage. However, I. An’t clear that out until the rain stops, so it may be another week before I tackle that.
So anyway, the house is getting clean and I’ve been getting a workout, but I haven’t been doing my regular activities. But that’s changing. Mich got a Y membership and she started doing deep water aerobics so I decided to join her for a couple classes a week. Due to schedule constraints and Pixie’s outright refusal to be left in the Y nursery for any reason, we’re going to class at 6AM. That’s pretty early, but worth it.
In other news, I have been informed by friends that I will be riding a bike. Patricia is donating a hybrid bike to me and I’m going to see if it’s true that you never forget to ride one. I’m looking forward to the challenge, I’ll admit. If I start biking, I could ride my bike to the Y, do water aerobics, and then ride home. I’ll save gas and squeeze in a bit more exercise, assuming I don’t get myself killed by a dumbass driver. This should be interesting.
So that’s what’s going on right now. I had water aerobics at 6 this morning, so I’m going to get my second cup of coffee now. See ya later this week!
Mo’ Bettah Hair!
I wasn’t happy with the intensity of the pink and teal last night, so I pulled out my Splat and Special FX dyes and redid those areas. Here are the much mo’ bettah results!
HOTCHA!
New hair colors!
Got bored with just having spots of blue in my hair, so I redid it. The pink didn’t come out nearly as intense as I would have liked, but the effect is interesting. I used Manic Panic’s Cotton Candy (pink) and Atomic Turquoise (the blue/green). For now, I’m going to stick to just bleaching the bangs to do the more intense colors. I used a dark auburn demi-permanent color on the rest of the hair, but may put a fun color over top of that later this summer to give it an interesting sheen. We’ll see.
ACW Episode 118 – Oops
I had a lovely hand drawn cartoon ready to scan in for today. Then I decided to clean my office last night and when I moved my desk, it broke. So I spent all day today replacing my desk and moving all the stuff I had to take out of my office back in. I took an hour to put together this strip instead tonight to explain what happened. You get the other cartoon next week.
