Lygeia escapes the tomb!

Although I usually don't have much fun going out with my married or divorced with kiddos friends--I love them & they're fun, but they usually make me feel subconsciously guilty for not having their issues, responsibilities, kids, stretchmarks, etc.-- and this time I was the bottle brunette out with 2 bottle blondes! LOL. I had a good time. I must say life is as good being chestnut as it is being blonde, (dark colors sure do fade faster) and no one tells me I look like Tara Reid, which hello, for the record, I do NOT, and it was starting to drive me as wacky as when I was younger and people constantly thought I was Jodie Foster. I've been having so much fun coloring my hair & playing with clip-on bangs, etc. I guess 40 can be the new 20 as I certainly feel like a punk kid! My friend B snapped this as we were leaving my office... my sanctum...

If you haven't read it, "Lygeia" is one of my all-time fave Poe stories. I recommend it, and it is a fairly brief read.
