Good Hair Day:

Thursday, I was having a good hair day and I snapped these pictures to remind myself of how happy my hair can make me when it behaves:

Thursday report:

My back was killing me today. But in a weird way. Like, my bones felt like someone was drilling into them. It felt awesome.

So I came home, took some Advil, and made quinoa tabbouleh (added fried egg for more flavor and protein). Most amazing dinner ever. I already want to eat it again.

My hair was super gross today (because I've been neglecting to wash it for a few days now) so I put it up in three little buns at the tape of my neck. And it looked cute!

And having my hair in those buns all day made the most beautiful waves when I took it all down:

Apparently, I need to not wash my hair more often

Hello again

Been away for a while. Here is what we've been up to:

Pomegranates are in season! We've been eating them all over the place. Last night we topped vanilla ice cream with a few seeds and it was heaven.

We are headed to Sikeston for the weekend and, of course, I've been planning my packing list for the past week. Here is what I have so far:

We went up to Kat's salon today and got our hair done. Andrew got a haircut. I got some red in my hair. Its fun.

A few months ago, I did a puzzle that was incredibly hard. But it was missing a piece. And then a few days ago, I found the missing piece in a box. And now I have to work that puzzle all over again. My OCD will not let me let it go. I have to see it complete.

I think I'm getting sick

So, I was going to post this ridiculous picture of me getting my hair done at Kat's salon today but on the way to dinner @ Yia-Yia's with Andrew (yes, he finally had the night off for once) we came across the coolest sunset ever and I just had to take a picture of it. So, if you still want to see that crazy picture of me, just hop on over to Kat's blog and have a look.

Yes, we had dinner @ Yia-Yia's and yes it was amazing but I am getting sick and my throat/tonsils have been killing me all day. And now I have a pounding headache on top of that. I have been taking vitamins, using Zicam, and drinking orange juice all day in an effort to stop/reduce whatever this is that is ailing me but so far it hasn't helped.

We finally got our washer & dryer this afternoon and Andrew is in the process of hooking it all up. I'm so proud of him. It's so handy to have a man in the house who knows how to do these kinds of things.



P.S. This just happened. While hooking up the dryer, Andrew stood up too fast, hit his head on a shelf, and then hit his chin on the top of the dryer. Nice one, huh? It's actually really a lot more gruesome in person.
