Maybe I need a purple stripe?

So, I'm contemplating a new hair color. I've been doing my own coloring for the last 6 months or so. I love going to see Alicia over at the Garden Day Spa, but it's $75 a pop each time I see her, and that doesn't include the tip. I've been making do with Nice 'n Easy Gray Coverage from Wal-Mart which runs me about $9. But after looking at my goth wig from Halloween which was black with purple stripes it kinda makes me wonder. I don't know if I could do the bangs though. I haven't had bangs since high school. OK, no, no purple stripes for me. But, maybe it's time for a new color.

This week is one of my least favorite weeks in the whole entire world. This is the dreaded SEP week, Parent Teacher Conference week, or as I like to call it: Beat Up The Teacher Week.
Why do I hate thee? Let me count the ways?
1. Two late nights of 7 p.m.
2. Tactfully telling parents that little Johnny or Susie can't seem to stay in their seats or need seatbelts or duct tape restraints.

Truth be told, my SEPS having been going great. I'm about halfway finished with no real breaks in sight to get any planning done. Having 28 students has really cut down on the amount of time I spend in planning and helping my students. A class of 14 sounds perfect right about now!
