For instance, 8th grade….before braces…and my first car… I was a blonde.  I blame my mother for attempting to hi-light my hair.  Let’s just say my hair was pulled through every single hole of a hi-lighting cap which left me as a blonde.  The funny moments that one goes through in life.

For Christmas one year — I decided it would be fabulous to “grow out” my lucious blonde locks (ha!).  This was not my finest hair do moment….

In a later attempt ie. ….after obtaining said license….car….high school status…I decided to try out my almost natural hair color.  Said attempt didn’t stay very long.

…and one just for good measure…. PINK!  Oh yes, this Oklahoma girl did just that…and just for the record, my parents were not pleased.

Please tell me you at least remember when Sun-In was popular and that you recall just how many times your mother told you “No, you’re not going back blonde.  Your hair color is just fine.”  See the thing is, you didn’t think that blah brownish tone hair was acceptable.  So, you did the unthinkable.  You purchased a few of those bottles of Sun-In from the local Wal-Mart, stuffed them in your duffle under you Camp Cavett clothes (that you packed waaaay to many of) and did something crazy at camp.  You. Went. Blonde.  ….then blammmmed it on the “Sun”.  Nope, I would’ve never done such a crazy thing….and lived to tell about it.

The obligatory photo of me & Danny.  I have so many of these and am amazed at how I’ve gone from the wild child type to the settled and sophisticated type.  You can just tell by my hair color actually and use of make up.  Then again, every one has those pictures, mine are just posted for the world to see.

We all look like babies here.  Funny how over 10 years later we’re still the same goofy bunch we met as when we were kids.  It doesn’t seem possible that we’ve all grown up, started our own lives, had children and gotten married.  I’m truly amazed at how far each one of us has come.

Take note of the lobsterized skin tone, too.  It was a day in time where I thought Sun Screen made you pasty white and could see no other way of obtaining that sun kissed look than going without that awful sun screen.  I’ve since aged out of that thinking and wear sun screen in the winter months now!  I’ve learned a lot in 10 years. {with one of my BFF’s who understands just how far we’ve both come!}

I did everything sun related, just so my hair would become blonder.  Ha!  How bout a paddle boat ride? …with a non-water proof camera? At least this time we didn’t get trapped out in the middle of the lake and have to be towed back into shore.  That has happened on more than one occasion, I’m afraid.  Oh the things we’ve all done to cause those extra gray hairs we see on Danny’s head or the aging lines in our once was camp counselors.

Going home after a great week at camp.  Can you tell?  We’re all burnt, blonder, and a little to hyper for words…possibly caused by lack of sleep?  It’s just a picture worth a thousand words.

You see, while at camp you spend your time either tubing on the lake, and by that I mean being the dare devil and trying everything the boys won’t and out in the hot humid summer heat.  On this particular day we participated in a ropes course.  Did we have fun?  Yes!  Was it hot? YES!  Did I pull off one of the greatest hair days in history?  No.  Let’s just say my hair & humidity didn’t mix back then or I was just too concerned with dumping every bit of Sun-In on my hair that year?!  Who knows.

Being the goof ball that I am….and the hair fanatic that I am…well let’s just say…I don’t really have words for what I’d say about this.  My used to be piggy back rider and I acting a bit goofy during the bus ride back to camp.  Great times at camp!

Can’t hang out at camp without having a little mud mask fun.  Not sure I have a normal picture  of me during my Camp Cavett days.  That is, until I got older and quit screwing with my hair so much.

I think this was my third year of attending Camp Cavett.  I’m pretty sure this is the year that I didn’t take Roomie, which would’ve been Y3.  Don’t you just love how  I can talk my way through these things.

My favorite piggy back rider.  Poor kid is now over 6 foot tall and giving me piggy back rides now.  This was definitely the summer of crazy hair colors and doing all sorts of crazy things that I knew no one would approve of back home.

After I Googled and came up with something fun, I made an appointment and we went to town.

Wonder what color I’ll choose this time?  It feels like having braces all over again — except we’re talking about my hair here and not that annoying bands they stick on your teeth in crazy colors.

Any ideas?  I proclaimed I was getting a yellow mow-hawk….that didn’t happen.  Maybe next time, there’s always next time…

How many days can a girl say she loves the way she looks and it doesn’t matter if her face is puffy or not?  Oh yes, this was a great day.

Just a few hours later, my lovely hair was chopped off & lightened up considerably.  Oh how I love my hair dying fun.

If those huge red pieces in my hair don’t give anything away already….I’m a pretty BIG OU fan.  I’ve never been to a game, but I know I’ll go soon enough.  For now, I’ll just show my support while rockin’ these red hues and cheering for football.  Yes, I cheer for a sport I know nothing about and I’m totally clueless while doing it.  This girl needs a guy in her life to explain these things!
