I start my new job tomorrow! And while I’m sort of scared and worried that I’ll not impress them, I am really looking forward to this new stage of my life.

Yesterday, I went to Bracknell to go shopping for any supplies I might need (by that I mean beauty supplies with an occasional focus on stationary). I wanted to fix my hair. I’ve dyed it so many times that it doesn’t hold colour very well at all. And though I’ve recently had it cut nearly chin length, and all the dead fluff is gone, it’s still not in the best of shape. But I wanted it back to my natural mahogany colour, so I bought some more dye.

BIG. MISTAKE.

As it turns out, the shade I got was just TOO dark. I look like a goth! As I never see any sun, my skin is pretty pale and fish-like, and this hair makes me look like Elvira’s fat sister. Grr.

So today when Ross gets home (he’s on the south coast visiting his parents for a couple of days), we’ll go out and buy some MORE dye. This time, I think I’ll just get a highlight kit, as I think the only way to get rid of this darkness would be to bleach the whole head, and that’s not something I want to do. Some highlights should sort it out nicely (I HOPE!).

Anyway, this past weekend, I talked to Ross and was able to get him to front me some cash for a new computer. My old one was making grinding noises and sounded like a machine gun. And I was having trouble uploading pictures from my cameras since there was no SD drive, and the USB ports wore out my (very expensive!) batteries.

So now I’ve got an HP Pavilion with SD drive, Pocket Media Drive, loads of other ports, 160G hard drive and over 2 Gigs of memory. Yummy!

I’ve also recently invested in a couple of new diaries. I’m the worst organised person ever, and my new job is going to mean BIG organisation. So I got a pretty purple diary which will be carried with me everywhere, and a smaller pocket diary which will be used at work. Yay!

I DID manage to buy some new makeup yesterday. I got L’Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Powder in Honey, which I’m HOPING is a good match. I tried it on my hand, and it disappeared… That’s a good sign right? :)  And I bought also a L’Oreal Paris ColorAppeal Trio Pro for Blue Eyes. It’s got three shades of eyeshadow which all work together nicely. You outline your lash line with one shade, wear the second shade as eye shadow, and the third shade is for highlights.  *shrug*   Lastly, I bought a L’Oreal Paris Glam Shine 6H in Everlasting Beige.  By the way, buying L’Oreal was completely unintentional.  There weren’t even any good deals on (for the record, No 7 and Max Factor both had free stuff deals going on… what was I thinking?)!! But the makeup did seem to be just what I was after, so no complaints….

Actually, the hair dye was L’Oreal as well! And I DEFINITELY am complaining about that! Grr. Toooooo dark!

Okay, enough bitching. Ross should be home any moment (I hope!), and I need to decide whether we should go ice skating, to see a movie, or just cuddle together all day.

Decisions decisions…
