The Trauma has past so now I can post this funny story:)

So, during spring break, I really wanted to highlight my hair. It had been at least a year since I'd last had my hair high lighted and I was pumped! But...It didn't happen. So about a week later I'm a shopping at Lee's Market Place when I pace by some boxes of do-it-yourself hair color that make coloring your hair at home look easy peasy.

I think to myself, Tara, you could do this and it would be so much fun to have your dark blond locks become bright and happy again! So I say, "Self, you are so right". I grab a box of blond that said it would bring out my natural blond highlights and continue on my merry shopping way.

The next morning, I decide it is time! Everything goes pretty well. I think I'm following the directions right. I get the goop on my head and wait, wait, wait.

I start to notice the top of my hair (my dark roots) is turning a slightly different variation of the lovely blond the rest of my hair is turning. It's this, brassy blond orange-ish color. I think to myself 'just wait until the time is up, it's just in the changing process.

End of the changing process, Flaming brassy orange-ish roots with blond every where else.

Mortified Tara goes and cries on Karl's shoulder while he tries hard not to laugh and help Tara feel better.

3 hours later after extensive work from a fabulous hair stylist at Leilana Salon (who may have been slightly annoyed that I took that long and made all of her other appointments back up and made it so she was there way longer than she wanted to be), my hair is now a normal blond color.

Moral of the story: Tara is not good at doing spontaneous things like this on her own without expert help from someone else. And box hair color is not a good idea for Tara

(And yes, I realize I switched to speaking in third person during this post, but it helped with dramatic effect, right?)

My lIfe is Average

Sometimes, you just need something to make you laugh. I love the little things. It doesn't take much to make me happy.

Like the other day when Karl and I were walking to the library. As he was drinking his pop, he proceeds to tell me how much he likes pop. Why you ask? Because it makes him burp!

Gross maybe, ridiculous yes, but I laughed for a good twenty minutes and it made my entire day!

Whenever I need a good laugh I go to mylifeisaverage.com. A lot of the stories are ridiculous, but if you read long enough, they all sound hilarious! Here are a few gems I found today:

Today my friends and I went to a country club. We were bored, so we decided to walk by people and say random things really loud. When we walked by one family, my friend said to me, "So how's your new medication working?" I said back, "It's working well, but I'm still hearing the voices." The looks on their faces? Priceless. MLIA

Today, I looked up strange laws in the state of Oklahoma. It turns out that whaling is illegal. I have no idea how someone would manage to go whaling in the inland state of Oklahoma. MLIA

Today, I was at the mall shopping in Urban Outfitters with my friends. I called out one of my friend's names which so happens to be Marco. At least three people said "Polo" and one person jumped out from behind a clothes stand and ran away saying, "YOU CAN'T GET MEEEE!!!" MLIA.

Yesterday, I got my wisdom teeth taken out. My mom told me that when we left the clinic I "ran" and belly flopped on top of a bush, attempted to do the breaststroke all while screaming at the top of my lungs, "the British are coming, the British are coming!". I have no recollection of this, but I really wish my mom had videotaped it. MLIA

today my 7 year old sister slapped me across the face screaming "this is for narnia!" then looked at my cat and yelled out" hermoine! you left your cat at our house again!"HerLIA

Today, my grandma picked up the TV remote and asked 'Whose cell phone is this?' MLIA

I have no idea if any of the stories posted on this website are real, but I always find something to that makes me laugh every time.

Ever since I started reading this website, I find myself noticing random things that happen every day and appreciating them so much more. Yay for my life is average!
