I'm Blue

Have you ever wanted to walk into a restaurant full of farmers and construction workers on their lunch breaks and REALLY get them to notice you?  And by that i mean openly stare, in that blatant, slack-jawed, "is what I'm seeing even human?" sort of way?  Then look no farther.  For about $10 and a trip to Walgreens, you can buy yourself a bleach and dye kit (I recommend Splat brand's Blue Envy*) and guarantee** that all eyes will be on you any time you leave the house and venture out into the world.  You don't even need to do all of your hair.

*disclaimer: i haven't been paid nor have i been asked to post a review for this product (or any other.  Ever.  And that's not likely to change any time soon.)

Ozark Chic

"That was very Winter's Bone of you."

I was talking with my dad and his two best friends yesterday, and i told them about hiking across three fields in the snow to bring my neighbor some drinking water last month when the well was out.  D., a 50-something who's lived here his whole life, made the statement above and followed it with, "And you wore a pair of Carhartts, didn't you?"  Yes sir, you bet your ass i did.  Because that's how we roll in the Ozarks.
