Ginger birthday weekend

So my birthday weekend was made even better by a visit from my Dewey boy and an Ed Sheeran concert. The perfect ginger topper to my ginger-themed birthday.

Ginger-themed birthday party

My friends thought it would be fun to throw me a ginger-themed birthday party and have all of the guests come as gingers or ginger characters. It was a lot of fun! I went as Poison Ivy. My friends were Lucille Ball, various Weasleys, a Shirley Temple, and a red-headed slut. I'd forgotten how much fun it was being a ginger. Maybe I should dye my hair again....?

Ginger birthday presents

My best friend sent me the funniest present for my birthday. Her comment: Here's my contribution to the ginger party : )

A little "help" from my friends

By now, all of my close friends are quite aware of my affinity for gingers.  I put with a lot of good-natured teasing on the subject, and they are constantly in awe of my ability to pick out gingers from a crowd of people.  Lately, they have taken to sending me photos taken with their cell phones and other ginger-related items that they find.  Here are a few of my favorites:

From my roommate Meagan:
Spotted in Florida: the only other person in the grocery store under 70 is a ginger!

From my friend Lucy and starring my friends Kate and Anna during a night out without me:

Find the ginger:

Ginger?

Find ginger.

Can you see the ginge?

Ginger finale:

And again from my friend Lucy:

Gotta love my friends and all their "help"   :)

Olympics Edition

Not too many ginger athletes out there, but of course, Great Britain does not disappoint. Cute young ginger on the GB men's gymnastic team....Daniel Purvis. Wow, what a spectacular floor routine he can throw together. That's some nice tumbling, mate!

Even better, my favorite ginger royal, the lovely Prince Harry, was in attendance to see the GB guys win bronze in the team finals.

Meeting Ed Sheeran

Was so excited about the Ed Sheeran and Snow Patrol concert.  Put on my special shirt in hopes that I would get a chance to meet him.  Turns out, he really wanted to meet his fans...because there were relatively few of us. I was shocked that no one really knew who he was!  I guess I forgot how long it takes for British bands and music to travel overseas and become popular over here.  Anyway, after the show, I got to meet him...and he commented on my shirt!  Here is the picture that we took together  :)  Love him!

Scotland....Land of Gingers....?

Arrived in Glasgow, Scotland today.  Have yet to spy any (attractive) gingers.  Actually, I have seen surprisingly few gingers since my arrival here.  Perhaps Edinburgh is the place to find them.  That's where I spotted the most in December (with my mom's help, or course).  I'll be there in a few days, which gives Glasgow a chance to prove me wrong :)

Just wanted to keep on the Ginger track and post a little something that I discovered in London a while ago.  Why did I not know about this sooner?  Absolutely hilarious!!!!

The search for Scottish gingers continues!  Updates to follow!
