It is raining here like crazy!

This picture could have been me this morning! I was running in and out of the car to the library and then at CVS Pharmacy. The wind was blowing too just like in the above picture. It has lightened up a little but we have had an awful lot of rain since yesterday morning around 10:30! I feel like a duck!! I think we are due some colder weather and no rain tomorrow. No rain is fine with me but the cold weather can go somewhere else! Everyone have a great day!

I love my hairstylist!

Last night I went to have my haircolor and highlight. My hairstylist is wonderful. Yesterday the office was really stressful with all the lay offs but I forgot about everything once I went to the Salon! She always starts out with a stress release neck and scalp massage. I really needed that and it felt wonderful. Then she started coloring, highlighting, lowlighting, toning, conditioning and another scalp massage while she rinsed my hair. I almost fell asleep! She is such a sweet person and worth the $$ that's for sure! The color turned out perfect and so did all the high and low lighting. John really liked it when I got home. It is hard, as I'm sure some of you have experienced, finding a really good stylist. She is consistent and a pleasure to have an appt. with.

Everyone have a great day and a wonderful weekend!

Hair Coloring and Highlights Tonight!!

Tonight after work I'm due for some pampering! I am having my hair colored and highlighted tonight. I go to Harmony Salon very close to my house and they do a fantastic job! It is so nice and calming in that salon. They are an Aveda salon too, which is great for the environment. For being almost 50 years old, I was surprised I hadn't had many gray hairs. Both my younger sisters have been coloring their hair for years due to major gray hairs. (1 sister is 3 years younger and the other is 6 yrs. younger so I was surprised) Well last week I was putting on my makeup and I saw a glimmer in the mirror and wondered what it was! Well to my surprise it was a whole bunch of WHITE, yes WHITE hairs coming in my part!! I immediately called in John and he just laughed and said, "have you seen my hair lately". Well I proceeded to tell him that he was 5 years older than me and I'm not suppose to go straight to WHITE hair! I called my hairdresser and made an appt. for tonight. I know that sounds really vain but my Mom doesn't color her hair and even though she has great skin I think it makes her look so much older. Well after 6:00 tonight ladies I will be WHITE and gray hair free!!!

Ash Wednesday

Today is Ash Wednesday. One of my co-workers just assumed I was catholic because I have an Irish last name. Well my husband has the Irish background (I'm German/Dutch) and why do people always assume because you have an Irish last name you are catholic. We are Methodist. I do believe in giving up something for Lent though. While I was trying to figure out what I should give up a few things crossed my mind: chocolate-no, tea-no, beef-no. I started thinking of other things. I came up with chewing gum. I always chew some gum in the afternoon after lunch and now I guess Mentos or Altoids will have to do. I hope everyone has a lovely day!

Nothing really special going on around here

Things have been rather quiet lately for me. Nothing really specially going on or planned. I like these quiet times. I love to read and right now I'm reading Very Valentine and really enjoying that. I'm listening to Domestic Affairs by Eileen Goudge in my car to and from work. I just enjoying chillin' with John. The highlight of my week is getting my hair colored and highlights on Thursday after work! I'm sure this lull won't last very long! Everyone have a great day!

I have now joined almost everyone else on Facebook!

I am now on Facebook! Megan told me I should have join Facebook and I have already found a few of my high school classmates. I haven't contacted them yet, but I will. First a blog and now Facebook, I wonder what is next!! Hope everyone is having a great day!

I picked up some new audiobooks at the Library

Today John and I went to the Library. I needed some more audiobooks to download to my ipod. I got 3! I picked out Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy, Domestic Affairs by Eileen Goudge and The Sonnet Lover by Carol Goodman. I've already loaded 2 of the 3 onto my ipod but my fingers are getting tired from clicking, etc. I will load the last one tomorrow. Heading downstairs to read Very Valentine by Adriana Trigiani. John is at a hockey game with our 2 son-in-laws. Everyone have a great evening!
