Is this midlife crisis or what?

After viewing a picture that Steph took of me the other day, I decided that my once light ash blonde hair had turned gray, and was making my face look washed-out and colorless. I had been noticing, too, that it was taking more and more make-up to give me the needed color in my complexion. So I decided to take the plunge...

I joined the ranks of middle-aged women who color their hair to feel young again. It turned out a little darker than I expected or wanted, but given a few days it will fade into what I intended.
