This evening's broadcast of my acceptance speech for Captain Of The Cheer Squad will be postponed due to a state of emergency. Forget broken bones, infected toes and catastrophic messes. I'm talking about an event so heinous that it had to take precedence over my Emmy worthy speech. Yes, folks...I'm talking about the realization that I now have GREY HAIR.
So there I was, sitting in the beauty shop and chatting with my hair dresser about fall colors for my hair, when she bent down and looked closely at my roots. I could tell by the pity induced look on her face, that something was very wrong. Lice? A bald spot? An undeveloped conjoined twin that had gone undiscovered until now? What the hell was she grimacing about? "Ohhhh sweetie, was your summer that stressful?" She looked at me like she had just run over my dog. I was starting to get sweaty pits. WTFroglegs was she talking about?
Then it hit me...she had spotted some greys. Son of a motherless goat! I'm not even thirty yet. What next? Hot flashes? Menopause? Adult diapers? Shitballs! I had myself a little anxiety attack right there in the salon. Seriously, Miranda had to talk me down from the ledge. Then, after the owner threatened to kick me out if I didn't get off of her front desk, I decided to settle myself and get down before I ruined my chance to cover the grey with some highlights.
Here I sit, with my cute Fall colors, fresh cut and stylin do, but I know what lies beneath. The undeniable truth. The irrefutable proof that I am staring my old age right in the hideous face. And let me tell you...it aint purdy.

What the H is wrong with you? LOL I've had grey hair since I was 12! This head has been colored so long I couldn't tell you what the real color is! LOL (and I am younger than you :)- not by much, but it still counts)
Just started following your blog. I love it and love that wild family of yours. I remember seeing you all on super nanny! You are a breath of fresh air, that's for sure! Oh and I am 26 and also have some greys, so no worries. But, being blonde, i am lucky it hides them well ;) ....for now!

At least they only had to talk you down off the desl. You couldv'e gone Briney on them and hijacked their clippers.
I feel your pain! A few months ago I was driving and peaked in the review mirror and screamed. Something was sticking straight out of my head and had a curl on the end? What in the world. I almost crashed trying to pull it from my scalp and when I pulled it and looked at it... it was a.... shiny grey hair. I called my friend who informed me she noticed it earlier that day! 29 is much to young to get greys or so I thought, I guess 29 for me is the new 50. lol
Can't wait to see the new fall colors!
OH NO a grey!!! Thank goodness you have fresh fall hair to cover it up! I on the other hand with almost black hair have recently discovered one!
Time marches on..sooner or later you notice it's marching right across your face.
Ok I can't take credit for that. You know the movie. If it makes you feel better, I found my first gray hair at 19. I have been a Clairol girl ever since. Lord help us all if ever there is a shortage of hair dye.
Grey is the new blond!!! I have blond highlights! Don't worry--you'll catch on! ;)
HUGS! 32 and I have found a few...thank goodness my dh is six years older and has lots of greys.....teeheehee. He makes an easy target.
