.: Should Be Sleeping :.

I've got to be up in a few short hours.

Getting this long hair cut OFF by noon.

All this hair will be gone in a few hours. I'd spent a chunk of my day today in a salon getting my hair dyed in preparation for the cut this morning. Color! I finally have streaks of color in my hair again. Red. You can barely see it at the moment but the cut will bring it out more.

I remember the first time I color streaked my hair. Bleached out chunks at my hair place at UofI. It was in celebration of getting into the band. I'd seen it in a British fashion mag a while before and Selling Spice was the perfect excuse for me to rock out my hair.

So I guess I've had color in my hair well before I'd started Swing Dancing even. That stopped last year. That last time I'd gotten it done up in color it lbooked like flames. Hedds says it made me look like a rooster.

I still need to be up in a few hours.

But I can't sleep. Perhaps its too soon after Fizz. Perhaps its that I'm trying to think of that song I'd heard in the salon today that I'd wanted to blog. Perhaps I'm a bit frustrated that WH is all broke. Maybe its thinking of New Orleans. Or even Hawaii. Suffice to say I've quite a bit to think about in the next few days.

I maybe going to Mardi Gras. My first one. I'll get to see The Real Deal Neal the first time in a long ass time. I'll definitely be going to Hawaii AND I'm in charge of finding flights, rental cars and condos for my family.

But I just remembered that song... My Italian boss at a restaurant used to sing itto me just to try to rile me up:

Coldplay - Yellow

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry

Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you
