My Hair Color Changed--Shocker!

I am in a current hair crisis. My hairstylist quit on me (and it took me 3 years to find him) and I've just been biding my time hoping I could find where he is working. I haven't had any luck and my regrowth got so bad that I had to color my own hair. As always, I erred on the side of red. My hair was so blonde to begin with that I had to go reddish so it wouldn't turn green. The first picture is the final product, the last picture is the in-between redder version.

Here's my picture: The Chicago Bulls played the Utah Jazz at Assembly Hall in Fall 2008. There are a bunch of former Illini basketball players on the Jazz, so they played an exhibition game. Dave and I got tickets when we first started dating.

Corn on the Cob?

Dave and I are a part of a dinner group with some friends from church. We get together once a month. January was my month to make dinner. I decided to go for a "Wintery BBQ." I made Marisa's beef brisket, smoked gouda mac and cheese, roasted potatoes and broccoli. I figured it's not a BBQ without corn on the cob. So we had it as dessert. I'm not sure my skills are that good, but can you tell those are cupcakes dressed up to look like corn? Dave's sister gave me a cupcake decorating book for Christmas and this was one of the ideas. Fun, huh?!

This is the table all set for dinner. I got the salad plates on clearance at Bed, Bath & Beyond and couldn't wait to use them! I think they're very festive!
