6666 Miles.
That’s how many miles I earned last month on Delta. Should I be concerned?! LOL!
Also, there appears to be a tread of rocking chair in airports. The above is in St. Louis. I’ve also spotted them in Charlotte. Weird – more so for St. Louis than Charlotte, I think.
No blogging for the weekend. Saturday was a busy day – I drove up to see my stylist and get a new ‘do for Italia.
It’s red. It’s shorter than I’ve ever had it (I usually keep some length in the front). I LOVE it. I love my stylist, Karen.
Karen is the owner of Lava Hair Salon. She used me in a couple of ads than ran recently!
The thing about red dye is that it runs if you get your hair wet too soon after getting it done. Today I took it upon myself to serve as a warning for those of you who are planning to go red.
6 mile run post-dye job. I looked like I just killed someone. No wonder people were staring as I ran by! LOL!
I also spent some QT with my credit card. While I was at the outlet mall, I HAD to buy a new Coach bag for the trip…
Did you celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day this weekend?
In honor of this very special day I want to profess my love for a new (to me) product:
Pirate’s Booty. Veggie flavor.
How did it take me so long to try this?!

Get ready for some “use everything before I leave” cooking this week!
What was the best part of your weekend?
What’s the craziest color you’ve ever had your hair?
Lee says
Your hair looks cute! Short hair totally works for you. I’ve tried to cut mine, let’s just say curly short hair is a little harder to manage.
I’m assuming you’ve seen the movie Up in the Air? I always think of it when you talk about all the business travel that you do.
Laura says
Thank you! I did see that movie… it reminds me of my boss. 🙂
Matt @ The Athlete's Plate says
Love the new look 🙂
Kate says
Ha! (Oh, I mean, ARR!) I posted about TLPD, too! Love it. I’ve never tried the Pirate Booty before, though I want to. Love the red and the new ‘do! Craziest color I’ve done? Probably purple. It was SUPPOSED to be auburn, but sometimes those boxes….I ended up going over it in black and now I don’t go near the boxes anymore. 🙂
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers says
Sweet hair! That’s also really awesome about being on the ad. The pics are smokin’ 😀
Parita @ myinnershakti says
Love the color red on you!
And the best part of my weekend was finding my wedding reception outfit! 🙂
And when I was younger my mom would bleach our hair with facial bleach (all my friends were doing it) so we could have highlights. One time (the last time) we kept it on too long so I had bright orange streaks in my hair. Not good!
Cait's Plate says
LOVE the red!! It seriously looks so good! I usually go to Vivid in Virginia Highlands when I’m in your neck of the woods. Maybe I’ll try Lava next time!
Laura says
It’s in Dawsonville… but you can make a day of it and go outlet shopping! (Hence the Coach bag. 🙂 )
Ari@ThE DiVa DiSh says
I LOVE it!! Red hair so hot! 🙂
Lisa ♥ Healthful Sense says
Love the red!! Looks amazing =) I would love to go to Italy too!! Seriously excited for you <3
Laura @ box run eat says
Heheh I’ll never forget the time I dyed my hair red when I was 12/13 and I went out in the rain at breaktime at school and it dripped all down my face my friends were freaked out haha
sportsglutton says
Aaaarrrrrggghhhh…ye haircut looks great. 🙂
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun says
1. You’re so gorgeous.
2. Love the cut. It fits you PERFECTLY! So awesome.
3. The fact you posted sweaty dye-drip post-run makes me love you all the more. 🙂
Laura says
Tina… you just completely made my day. Thank you. 🙂
Corey @ Learning Patience says
Holy Moly girl – you look AMAZING!!! LOVE the shorter do and the color – so chic-you’ll fit right in on your European vacation! Enjoy!
xoxo from Trinidad
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Love that color on you!
I tried to go “golden blonde” last fall and turned out orange – which had to be corrected by going DARK blonde – won’t be trying that again! 😉
Laura says
I have done that same thing – I tried to go from dark to blonde and turned my hair FIRE orange. It was the last time I attempted dying my own hair. 🙂
Alexa @ Simple Eats says
You look SO pretty with red hair! I love it! I wish I had the guts to try a different color!
Emmy (Wine and Butter) says
Ha ha!! I did the same thing when I went running after a spray tan – way to waste £25 looking STREAKY!!! the cut looks awesome though – and go you being featured in the advert!! xox
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I LOVE your hair!! I wish I could pull off something so spunky..but short hair just doesn’t work for me. :/
Hannah says
Squeee! That hair is AMAZING!!! I want to steal it and stick it on my head, but that wouldn’t work, I don’t think.
E @ Act Fast Chef says
Love the red hair! I go between dark brown, red and light brown with blonde highlights 🙂
Parsley Sage says
Fabulous new do, darling! Can’t go wrong with red. Of course, I may be a bit partial 😉 I don’t know how you manage to stay fit and positive while on the road. I’m fixing to take a trip myself and i’m going to keep thinking: what would Laura do? I know she wouldn’t eat the sbarro pizza and drink four cups of coffee in the Miami terminal…
By the way, I’ve given you an award over on Deep Dish 🙂
http://psdeepdish.blogspot.com/2011/09/frosted-robin.html
Laura says
It helps that travel has become as ordinary and changing underwear… it’s just something I do. 😉
That Sbarro smell is always tempting though…
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
Welcome to the world of redheads! We really have the most fun. 🙂
Have you tried the BBQ Booty? I love that one. There is a pizza flavored one that I’m not sure I will like…but it makes me think of pizza-flavored Combos and that sort of makes me happily nostalgic in a “oh how i loved overly processed foods” kind of way. [And sometimes still do?]
Laura says
Veggie was my first flavor… BBQ is next on the list now! 🙂
I’m with you on the pizza flavor… I’m not a fan of pizza flavoring. Except on pizza.
Errign says
This post made me smile 🙂
Carol @ Lucky Zucca says
Love the hair! Love the bag!!! Ahhh I love this whole post! The dye running down your neck is cracking me up.
