Pink Hair Stare

On my way to Portland with my climbing buddy Theresa and as we sit here in the Atlanta airport waiting to board our plane for our climb, I can take a moment to post today's blog.

I got my hair colored pink yesterday (just for the climb) and I gotta say that the stares have been amusing. I intentionally wore my "Imagine" t-shirt today so that when I would get a glance, the shirt helps gawkers put two and two together...

A part of me enjoys watching people try to be sneaky and catch a glance. My cousin wants me to take photos of the stares... I guess I'm not that bold (yeah, I am bold enough to color my hair pink but not bold enough to snap a photo of a stranger who is blatantly staring at me - go figure).

Meeting up with Theresa and having a travel buddy this year has made my trip a lot less stressful. And talking with her about training, preparedness and the climb itself has been comforting.

I am looking forward to the climb even more than my first. I am excited about my accomplishments to date and after Sunday will be proud to have reached the summit of Mt. St. Helens. Hope you come along for the trek!
