So yes- it’s been a weekend. Friday night we went up to Kelly’s to get my hairs done. Ever since I dyed my hair I’ve been worried about getting roots- and in an effort to avoid them I decided to get my hair dyed back to it’s natural color. Well, come to find out that I’ve had roots for quite some time, they’ve just been barely noticeable because the dye I put in faded and my hair has gotten darker. Who knew? My Mom said her hair got darker when she got pregnant- so I guess I just jumped the gun a few months ago with a box of Clairol. Kelly and I decided on some highlights to brighten me up without having to worry about it growing out, and I got a trim. It’s nice to get things taken care of…I should really get up earlier in the morning so I can DO something with myself instead of barely drying my hair and running out the door. We’ll see.
Saturday we woke up late, but not too late, and ended up doing stuff around the house and running some errands. The errands included throwing all of John’s socks away and replacing them (consequence of me finding out that some of them have been with him since just after his mission. Seriously. Not kidding.) I finally found the time to vacuum out the breezeway and clean it up for the new, warm weather. I like to keep the doors open when it gets nice outside, and sure enough, as soon as I get rid of all the leaves and mess from the winter in preparation for spring—it snows. All night, all morning, and most of the afternoon. Yuck. Ew. Whatever. Before ending the day we ran out to Blockbuster in search of a couple of movies- most especially Dan in Real Life. When we got there around 5 there weren’t any copies left, but I asked the guy and the girl at the desk to keep an eye out and hide one for me if it came in. Admittedly, I tried to flirt with the guy- and as a girl who’s carrying around an extra person, found out I can’t do that anymore. Even though John gets flirted with in WalMart all the time. Yup. There’s a story for you. Moving on- When we got up to the front they HAD INDEED gotten a copy for us! Yay! We also rented Enchanted and In the Land of Women. The latter two were wastes of time- but Dan in Real Life was good. It had a Family Stone quality that I really enjoyed- it might be one to own one of these days.
Today we woke up, went to church, and then commenced to laze about. Although I HAVE been inspired to pluck my eyebrows and paint my toenails- because after my haircut I’m inspired to spiff up a bit. Although I have to live life as a blotation device, I don’t need to feel too frumpy. I told John today that I lived about 10 years of my life complaining about being chubby and nauseous….and I was an idiot. I was a flat-stomached, energetic-type girl who could function on small amounts of sleep and eat anything covered with cheese at any time of night or day. And now…oh I wish I had enjoyed it. Will I ever get that back?
(Oh, and by the way Auntie- I found a stand up routine where Bill Cosby called them Salad Tongs! Funny, funny man.)
