Houseguests on Their Way
Beth came over last night for dinner, to drink wine, look at our old yearbook (it is extremely disconcerting to go through your high school yearbook and realize how many people have already died), eat homemade burritos, and pretty much assist me in my kickoff of what will more than likely be a five-day bender. It was splendid.
The Canadians should on the road right about now, hurtling towards Jersey, visions of wine and sausage balls in their heads. I’m so excited to see my friends. Tonight we’ll have a big family-style dinner of linguine and clams and those apple cupcakes (I made extra and froze them, along w/some frosting).
Yesterday I colored my hair. I’m half-pleased with the results. I haven’t colored my hair at home with anything other than henna in quite a while, so I think I didn’t leave the color on long enough. I used this. My hair didn’t lighten as much as I thought it might. Ah well, live and learn! If you have any favorite brands of hair color, let me know. Tomorrow Maggie and I are getting haircuts, hooray.
Blogging will probably be sporadic until next week. There may or may not be drunken blogging.
p.s. Destructogirl, I will send some moo cards home with Maggie. Sandra, shall I pick up some Mr. & Mrs. T’s for you?

Mr. and Mrs. T’s? Shame on you.
I make the best Bloody Mary you’ll ever have!!
November 29th, 2006 - 09:51
The Mr. & Mrs. T’s isn’t for me. I’ve never had it.
I have your Bloody Mary recipe but haven’t tried it out yet.

Chuck, my hubbie is in love with Mr. & Mrs. T’s mix. LOVES IT. We don’t have it in Canada so when I was in NYC last summer I had to put 2 huge bottles of it in my luggage home. It took me forever to find a damn grocery store in Manhattan, too. I think they were both empty within seconds. I know, I know…
FG, if you could get me one bottle and send it back with Maggie I will love you forever and will make sure the next time you kids are in this neck of the woods to have you all over our place for dinner (which unfortunately didn’t happen this summer past). I promise we will feed you well and give you some of that homemade Macedonian moonshine!
Have fun with them Canadians, eh?
November 29th, 2006 - 10:26
Sandra, we’ll pick some up for Jay, no problem!

Oh, and i have in the past used Feria colour kits when I would do red (and blacks and browns and doityourself highlights) and loved it (the best tube of conditioner) – I found the red colour didn’t wash out as fast. I now have switched to L’Oreal Natural Match in Dark Brown. Because I’m boring.
November 29th, 2006 - 10:37
Does Feria use peroxide? Because I need it to lighten my hair and BURN MY SCALP. :D
I had Feria in my hand and decided against it. No idea why.
November 29th, 2006 - 10:50
I’m pretty sure it does. It definitely is not one of those fade out gradually haircolours, which I believe don’t have peroxide. When I used to colour my hair strange red shades (over my very dark brown hair), it would definitely lighten it.

Homemade Macedonian moonshine?
I LOVE moonshine. Sounds yummy.
November 29th, 2006 - 10:52
That’s the stuff that stripped the skin off my tongue and cured my injured back.
November 29th, 2006 - 11:13
That’s weird – it ususally strips the hair off my back and makes my tongue swell!

Mmmm, nothing says “the holidays” quite like a five day bender. When you say “bender”, you know I picture you with smeared lipstick and a crooked wig, right? Be sure to take pictures when you and the girls are “half in the bag”, k?
On a more serious note, you have many deceased classmates? Having never been to New Jersey, is it like frontier life or maybe thug life, both with their concomitant shortened life expectancies?
November 29th, 2006 - 13:26
I’m never “half in the bag.” Fuck, I climb right in and knot the top closed. Smeared lipstick and a crooked wig is about right. And don’t forget the bra strap hanging out of my shirt sleeve. Oh, and one shoe.
Jersey is both frontier and thug life in equal amounts. If I remember correctly, the deaths were all over the spectrum. Drank himself to death, brain aneurysm, killed in a fire, car accident…lots of tragedies.

I graduated high school a short 8 years ago and have also lost a large number of classmates. Their are also the ones who have been married and divorced numerous times, have 3 or more children each with different fathers. Have been or are currently serving time for assorted things… I’m part greatful for my life and how happy I am, and part freaked out that I’m not divorced with a child in 3rd grade.
So lets see the yearbook pictures!
November 29th, 2006 - 15:16
Someday when I’m feeling brave, I’ll put up the yearbook photo. My hair was JERSEY SPECTACULAR.
November 29th, 2006 - 15:50
does that mean long and permed? or a bouffant of some sort?
i myself took the long and permed route, in a strange burnt-orange colour i had going thanks to Sun-In.

Last time I tried to color my hair at home, it turned Bozo orange. My hair stylist fixed it. She also basically called me a mental midget and told me never to do it again. So, I don’t touch the home stuff.
However, I will be forking over major dinero for a cut/color tomorrow, so that I will be faboo for your party.
YOU’RE WELCOME! ;)
November 29th, 2006 - 16:00
Yay for pretty haircuts!
Sandra, my hair was shoulder length, permed and feathered beyond reason.
November 29th, 2006 - 16:07
I am terrified of the at home stuff. I am always afraid it will turn my hair some strange shade from which it will never recover. I had also hoped to have faboo hair for the party, but alas my hair stylist is booked so I shall be shaggy with roots.
November 29th, 2006 - 16:13
I had a friend who grew up in Jersey during the metal days. She told me that the bigger the hair the cooler you were. After seeing her yearbook picture, all I can say is, she must have been VERY cool.
November 29th, 2006 - 17:32
…and feathered beyond reason.
Just what degree of feathering is considered reasonable? :P
November 29th, 2006 - 20:15
Good point.
November 30th, 2006 - 00:47
Have fun!
And your hair probably looks fabulous.
November 30th, 2006 - 08:56
It WAS fabulous. SHE was fabulous. Don’t believe her propaganda – she was super cool, way ahead of her time, during the high school years.

It was actually commercial Macedonian wine that cured your back and gave you a migraine. The moonshine is much smoother.
November 30th, 2006 - 10:33
hahahaha…the absinthe is much smoother. ;)
