Embracing a milestone, she gathered all remaining rebellion and dyed her hair 2 shades darker than anyone in her world would appreciate.
I feel like the kid who came home from summer-long camp only to discover the house renovated and mom smiling a lot more. The ladies at the Red Dress Club have been busy during my laziness. Go check out Write on Edge. Very cool stuff.
Oh, and this week’s prompt, right up my sloth alley - This week’s assignment will require the fewest number of words ever: we want you to write a story – your choice of topic – as a tweet.
My 140 (actually 136) may or may not be fictional.
It’s good to be back.

Welcome back
And I love this! Rebellion through hair is always fun
Love that you’re back. Don’t go away anytime soon please.
Wonder why no one in her world will appreciate it. Makes me sad.
P.S. PLEASEWRITEANDBLOGMORETHANKS.
Welcome back!
If it is true, I hope you are enjoying it!
I. Love. This.
Go you!
XO
I miss you.

I love this because you know how I connect emotions to hair dye. I love this character. I love her story. I love how you so often write about women who are on the edges of politeness.
And I love you, of course.
Really liked that. The two shades darker bit said so much in such a fun way.
Great job, and relatable too
I love the “gathered all remaining rebellion!” phrase!
This is something I have gone through and still do from time to time. Great piece.
when I saw you on the list I squealed, I did..like loudly.
“than anyone in her world would appreciate.”
this is why I am so glad you’e back. Awesome words, vivid pictures in my mind.
I am also making a comeback. God i missed everything that i missed.
Love it! I’ll be “embracing a milestone” really soon (40!). I wonder what will happen if I gather my remaining rebellion
.
Nothing like a good hair shock to serve as a middle finger up to those who you choose to send it to.
Well look who’s back!!!
You’ve been missed. And if it takes “story in tweet” to keep you around, then we will do it. We will!!
xo
Love this!
Go her! I love little rebellions that make the people in our life cringe…every now and then, that’s just fun. And this story was fun as well!
Stopping by and following from WOE.
I have a coupe attempt of my head too.
My couple of gray hairs need coverage.
Woo hoo! Love this lady and wanna give her a high five!
Good to see you back! Love the rebellion. A little rebellion is good for the soul.
One time, I wanted to dye my hair blue, but my hairdresser said I was too old. That was 15 years ago. I should have ignored him.
Good to see you!
And 2 shades darker of what color? Red I hope. That is do rebellious.
TWO shades darker? Scandalous! I love it!
How I do love small acts of rebellion. Thought you might appreciate this quote.
“I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.”
–Thomas Jefferson
Oh, yes, rebellion by hair dye. Fabulous!
Welcome back! And a shot of rebellion can be a pretty great thing! :>
YEAH! Loved your tweet story. Love seeing a new post. Love you!
Have a hair color date with my 13 yr old tomorrow – she would like streaks … since I am a cool Mom, I am doing it for her … rebellion
I missed a lot on my hiatus too.
Am not going to try to catch up.
Am just gonna jump right back in.
Love the Tweet.
