silverthorne: Painting of a cougar sneaking through underbrush (Default)
I officially have enough grey hairs that I go 'ew, yuck!' when I look in the mirror. Mind you, it's coming in in a nice salt and pepper way, but I wear my hair too long for it to be flattering, and I'm not ready to chop it all off just to take advantage of the 'patterning'.

So I'm actually considering dying it.

So, opinions?

What color do you think I should go for?

Should I spend money on a pro coloring (ouch), or will a do-it-yourself suffice? (I have dyed my hair on my own in the past, so it's nothing new for me, and I'm actually pretty good at getting it on thoroughly and evenly).

If at home, what brands would you recommend? What shampoos for upkeep?

And for reference, here's a two-year old pic under the cut. Not very flattering, but it's in natural sunlight, so is a more or less accurate presentation of my actual coloring.

Itsa me )

So, when my tax return gets back, depending on how much the vet bills end up being, I may or may not replace my Zune with a new player.

However, regardless, I am thinking of getting a bakeware/oven set, regardless of whether or not there's enough left over for the player.

My question to those with more oven cooking experience is this:

I'd like to be able to do casseroles, small chicken/fish dishes, and broiled veggies, but I already know that budget wise, I can probably only afford one 'kind' of set over another for the time being.

So, would I be better served to invest first in a set of glass casserole dishes? Metal pans? One stoneware (or whatever it's called these days) baking pan (you know--the metal ones that are typically either black or blue with the white speckled spots)...or something else altogether?

I don't mind slow cooking the food, either (most of my oven work will be on weekends where I can be on hand for several hours to check the progress).

I do request that it stays in the $50 or below range, if possible. :)

And...if the suggestion is for metal pans, please point me in the direction of a good set that doesn't attract rust just by virtue of sitting unused for a few months (yes, my very cheap, $5 metal pan set did just this, which is the other reason why I'm looking to buy a new set of something...When something rusts when it hasn't even had water in it, there's something wrong...)

So, help me, Oven-Wan-Kenobi...you are my only hope source of info (Since Dad, unless it's ribs or involves an outdoor grill or the simple solution of laying foil on the oven rack, is not much better at knowing this stuff than me)

But...Your opinions on Oprah.

What are they? Say anything.

(and if you're wondering why I'm asking, it's because a celeb I do really admire has had dealings--good ones, as far as I know--with her. And I kinda do admire her in some aspects but am mostly 'eh' in others--probably because she seems to be everywhere.)

So...

Just noting I haven't kept up the health diary for the past few days.

I'll start that up again tomorrow.

You all still care to see it, or shall I private lock? :)

Pee Es--are the mice not cute? Those are the ones I raised from the time they were still blind and deaf fuzzies.
