11. Have you ever dyed your hair? In junior high I wanted to be a blonde, so I got a spray bottle of “Sun In” and sprayed it on and laid out in the sun. Hours later, I had a tan and carrot orange hair. Oops! Now I dye my hair to hide the gray…although I’m SURE there are only a few sprigs!

One day while I was in college, my niece Dixie got her down and marked all over her with permanent marker….she liked doing that to the piano keys too. Weird.
