Thrilling! Christmas Recap! But Only Kinda!
December 28, 2009
THINGS I DID:
1. Dyed my hair red.
2. Like, seriously red.
3. Like Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog red. Like mentally ill ginger with eyes like a bush baby red. Like I have been clearly watching too many geek-friendly musicals red.
DONT STOP BELIEEEEVIN.
4. Cursed out a jolly plastic toy rocking horse using a slightly different interpretation of the words "insert" and "slot A" and "slot B." Drank way heavily.
5. Confronted childhood fears. Drank way heavily.
(Trust, you'll be reading MUCH MORE ABOUT THIS LATER OH YES.)
6. Instilled all-new childhood fears in the next generation by letting Noah watch The Wizard of Oz.
7. Ensured another barn-burner of a Christmas season for the fine folks at Energizer and Duracell, discovered that I suck at Tinker Toys, made (and ruined) Christmas breakfast with help from the Top Chef cookbook.
8. Went to Pennsylvania. Confronted crazy family, wooden cows, frizzy hair, bangs doing That Thing. Thoroughly traumatized mother with opening montage from Pixar's Up. Drank way heavily.
9. Turned 32. More of the same.
THINGS I DIDN'T:
1. Take any photos of our holidays except for photos of my hair, just in case there was a Facebook emergency that required 400 slightly different bathroom mirror self-portraits.
Pretty hair! Yay to drinking too much! Merry Christmas!
You go, girl. Or something.
I LOVE your hair! As a dirty blondeish browninsh haired girl who dyes her hair red, I think it looks great! Red is always tricky and hard to maintain (read: $$$$ to maintain) but it looks lovely and yes, you do look like Emma from Glee. There is no higher compliment though.
I love your new look! I've always wanted red hair!! Only problem is that I've NEVER dyed my hair, but seeing as I am going very gray, very quickly at barely 28 (in 2 weeks), I may realize my dream sooner rather than later. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
Hey, I like the hair! It deserved at least a few dozen pictures, hands down.
I'm currently fretting about dying my hair. I have never dyed it (virgin hair!), but the gray "highlights" are starting to get to me. I have no clue what to do with this. Maybe I should just let the Internet decide?
Love the red hair! Looks great!
And I didn't take pictures either, too busy playing with my new Flip to care about pics.
I actually really like your hair! Then again, I firmly believe that Felicia Day can do no wrong.
Can u say Allison Hannigan?
Pretty hair - it's hard to tell from the pics but looks strawberry blond to me :)
red heads rule. this, i know for sure. WELCOME TO THE CLUB!
You do look like that chick from Glee!
I can't believe you're only 32. Jellus!!
Please,just one kiddie pic? Love them!
Happy belated Birthday! I love your hair red - you look gorgeous! :)
That hair is awesome! I tried to dye my hair red and it turned out to be more like hooker orange. So yay for you!
the hair looks great! and I'm very amused at the expressions you made while photographing it.
Happy Birthday and I'm liking the red, wish I could be so brave! How did Noah and Ezra react?
Love the red hair. You've inspired me and I'm going to totally copy you. Yay for redheads!
Happy Birthday!
Red hair rocks. I'd dye mine, but I have curls and am afraid I would be more Little Orphan Annie than Nicole Kidman.
Oh, I love your hair. Inspiring me to take a new color plunge on Wednesday at my appointment!
I like you as a redhead, Amy.
Happy belated birthday!
That color really suits your complexion. Good job!
Your hair looks HAWT lady!
Loving the red hair and pretty blond-ish highlights on you. For reelz!
This may be more of a question for Smackdown, but are you changing your lipgloss/make-up routine with the new hair color? I'm totally digging your lipgloss in the last photo. Or maybe that's your natural coloring? If so, JEALOUS.
You def. have the skin tone for red! Looks good. I bet you'll find that different colors (of make-up and clothing) look good on you now. That's always fun. Hey, you may want to check out this brow stuff from e.l.f.; it's got a red tint to it and would look great on your brows (to match the hair and also make your eyes pop).

Luuv the red hair. Very Charlotte-Johannsen-Lost-In-Translation. Love it!
LOVE the color!
these photos show that Ezra looks JUST like you! and the red is lovely. I'm jealous.
When I saw the pic of you yesterday with red hair, I thought to myself "Bush baby!" and was going to post as such but then didn't because I didn't know if you liked emma and what if I said the wrong thing? wash, rinse, repeat.
your hair looks awesome! i totally want to dye mine a different color now...
32? THIRTY-F'IN-TWO? Oh sweeeeeet little baaaaaaaaaby don't you worry bout nuthin momma gonna fix you right up. Or another drink. Or something. Happy late birthday funny girl.
I LOVE your hair. It totally fits you.
It's okay you didn't do Christmas pics, they all start to look the same anyway another 10 years down the road.
You never know when there will be a facebook emergency.
Good call.
And happy birthday.
I am in LOVE! with the red hair! You rock it!
Best Christmas recap ever. The red looks great!
The hair is gorgeous!! I've been wanting to dye my hair red for ages but I'm such a coward. Congrats for going with it! It looks fabulous.
You make a gorgeous ginger! Yay ginger!
Firstly, I'd like to sprinkle a little hate on you because you turned 32 and I turned 37..there..I'm over it...and B: I wanna bite your hair, it looks yummy..and that sounds weird..ok,leaving now
Wow! Super fun new look for you, the red is kicky and looks great!
the Wizard of Oz TERRIFIED ME- the flying monkeys?!?!?! holy shit!
LOVE THE HAIR, seriously, it looks great! As for the confronting volcano fears, I personally would just leave those buried because I am too lazy to confront things, and hey! maybe that's why I'm on anti-anxiety meds, because I don't deal with things well. But anyway. Happy birthday!
I like the hair! My kids never stop moving enough for me to get a picture, so we have none of holidays.
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY love the hair!
Oooh lala. SEXAY. I love the red, it looks great on you!
Wow, you are definitely NOT a red head!! (No offense, but really, you're not!) :-)
This pregnant girl HATES that movie and was traumatized by it just yesterday. There are way too many opportunities for sobbing during that movie (the opening montage, when Kevin gets hurt, yelling "bad dog" and oh so many more). Do.Not.Want
Maybe it's my computer, but the hair is not red, it's orange. The kind of orange I pay good money to cover up because that's what my ends look like every 6 weeks or so.
You look great as a red-head Amy :). I agree, you look like Allyson Hannigan.
what's the deal with the Up montage??? I saw it, but don't understand....
You do look very Emma-ish haha! Cute!
Love the hair!!! There's nothing wrong with drinking over the holidays when surrounded by crazy family. And, don't forget the Glee Season 1 DVD's come out tomorrow! :)
I'm watching a dvr'd (12/18) Jimmy Fallon and Abby Elliot is on and she is sporting red hair now, too!
Love love love the hair!
