Such is life.
Well, I had planned to post some beautiful pictures of me with my hair newly dyed, a henna pattern on my swollen belly — radiant as the sun in the goddess glow of pregnancy.
But life got in the way.
Despite that I carefully boiled the water, mixed the sensitive ingredients of henna powders today (the hair dye was also henna)- things just did not work out. After an hour with the plastic bag on my head, my hair looks exactly the same. The same premature gray strands are jutting out from my crown, the same golden lackluster hair adorns my tired little head.
The mehndi pattern on my belly came out funky (I guess you’re not supposed to try doing it yourself in a mirror?) and then the applicator bottle got plugged up. Needless to say, that dream ended with an F-bomb of surrender as I trudged to the bathroom to quickly wash off the beginning of my design.
I had myself a good boo-hoo fest before requesting Hubby’s bicycle delivery service to pick up some red wine, cookie dough, and more evening primrose capsules from New Seasons.
Why haven’t I learned by now that somethings just don’t work out the way you want them to? Why are things so searingly disappointing? At least it makes life colorful. I can laugh about this. Some day.

I can so relate to this, Vivian! It hurts when you put in so much effort, and then it goes “capooey”, especially when you are so exhausted already and just want to feel pretty. Miss you & love the new look of your blog.
I agree with Rachel: it’s not the fact that it didn’t work, it’s the time and the effort that you put in. Rest assured, your time nurturing the one within you is time well spent. Good luck!
