Tomorrow is the girls' gymnastics show. I had mentioned it previously as scheduled for last Saturday, but as is so often the case with me, I had my dates mixed up. I'm looking forward to seeing a display of what they've learned. Ed is going too.On Sunday, they have a birthday party to attend.Otherwise, this weekend is all about reclaiming my house and my bedroom floor (from the piles of clean laundry waiting to be folded). I don't mind the blahness of that, it's been a busy week and there's much on the horizon. Ed's sister is getting married on the 18th. It is the second marriage for both and there are three children between them. No bridal party, but very fancy reception. We'll be having portraits done before the ceremony. This is wonderful because we do not have a nice formal portrait of the four of us.And speaking of fancy, the girls and I will have our hair done for the occasion. I'm having my hair trimmed and colored in advance as well. I think it's been about two years since someone cut my hair (other than me chopping hunks off when the ends get crazy). I opted for a professional color (my first since before my children were born) because I figured since I have Ed home with Julia all morning anyway, I might as well go for the full monty (and that I have a gift card to use). I might get really crazy and have my brows waxed, since they are taking over my forehead.And yes, I realize that it is pathetic that I feel the need to justify a few salon treatments (to myself, not to you all).Now I just need to find a dress that fits nicely. Blessings...... I have tulips. Just two so far, but blooms nonetheless.
... My husband, who made all the salon appointments for us gals, because I am a slacker and would keep putting it off until there were no appointments left.
... My husband, who told me to buy whatever dress I want even though I know we don't have the funds to match that offer. I find a not-overly-expensive dress, but I love him for not caring how much I spend. He knows I am feeling a little dried out, plumped up and old these days, although he disagrees with me.
... Sleeping in tomorrow. That doesn't necessarily mean sleeping late, but I relish the mornings when I have no particular reason to rush out of unconsciousness.
I hope you have a peaceful and pleasant weekend.Good night.

Wonderful blessings.
Isn't it strange how we try to justify to ourselves our purchases that we have every right to make to spoil ourselves? I'm sure you will look fabulous. I can't wait to see pictures.
How do you like the book A New Earth? I have heard many good things about it and have been considering getting a copy for myself.
Hugs to you,
Liz
feed your soul with some pleasures jg we all need to treat ourselves it seems the tab always gets paid you deserve it & a pedicure too ! blessings beck
When I find my sweetheart, I want her to be just like Ed (in so many ways).
Ed, my friend, I know it's been a while since I last told you, but fuck I love you!
Ok. I don't want Jenny feeling jealous: what I *really* want is a sweetheart that is a cross of the two of you!!
Love you so fukkin much, the BOTH of you!!!
I want what you have, damnit!!! It's a thing of beauty.
XOXOXOXOXO
I'm so glad your husband is one of your greatest blessings!!
I'd like to be added to your protected blogs as well if that's ok with you! Thanks!!
Today I was given a special treat - shopping! It was the first time I have shopped at a mall for soooo long! It really felt good to spend something on myself!
I am looking forward to seeing photos from the girls day!
Thank you for everything.
you know you have a great husband
Ed is wonderful to you. It makes me happy.
Even I find a reason to go to the salon once or twice a year! We deserve it, don't we!!?? Which reminds me that I need to have mine done soon. Shelby said yesterday: "Mom, I like your hair half brown/half blonde". Yikes!
i hope you end up loving every little minute of the hair cut and dye and wax (well, perhaps not love the wax) but love the way you feel after and enjoy the day.. you SO deserve it.
Tulips! Hooray! I get mine from the florist
So happy to hear that things are happy there
You sound happy. Love You.
Salon day! Sounds like fun (and you deserve it)!
It will be two years until I have a hair cut again... you've just made me feel infinitely better about it, as your hair always looks so healthy and beautiful!!!
