As the sun waves its last goodbye
And disappears over the hills
The brilliant colors fade to pastels
Dusk
The temperature cools
Fireflies come out
And there’s a certain beauty
A little bit of magic in the air
A hectic day gives way to a quiet evening
It’s the tranquility I seek
I feel so serene, so calm
As peace washes over my heart
In that moment, it’s all I need
Dusk.
As a treat to myself for a job well done presenting to a VP and to celebrate the holiday weekend, I finally tried purple hair a week ago. I’ve gotten highlights and streaks of color before, but never done my full head. I was inspired by a co-worker who has dark purple hair, which is quite subtle. Mine came out brighter than I wanted, but I’ve grown into it and quite like it. In fact, I often forget my hair looks like this now. What do you think?
Before…
After!

Celebrating the 4th with very patriotic purple.
Glowing purple.
First day at work like this!
I then spent a day exploring Lands End in all my hues. 🙂
And finally, I managed to match the tables at an MBA mixer BBQ. >.<
I’ve been up in NorCal for nearly six weeks and today was the first time it occurred to me that I could eat fast food. Ever since coming up here, I’ve been trying all sorts of local restaurants (mainly Asian cuisine) and pigging out on boba. Somehow along the way, chain restaurants fell off the radar.
As I was trying to figure out what to eat tonight, I wanted something that wouldn’t be much effort. Enter fast food. The realization that I didn’t have to decide between Chinese or Vietnamese was like a revelation. I’d completely forgotten to even consider other options.
So I took the easy way out and got McDonald’s. But sadly enough, it didn’t fill me up!! I’m still craving boba. ? I’ve now broken my unintentional fast from fast food. I don’t plan on using that backup often but at least it’s in my back pocket again. ?
