Not a bad day, yesterday.
Had a hair appointment in the afternoon.(Huge Thanks to Thom for dropping the kids at martial arts and baseball).
My hair is now in a platinum, just-below-chin length, slightly angled bob. I love it.
But, my friends, ...................let me tell you....... it is a long and lonely road between brunette and blonde. It is a path that I have traveled. I have seen it's pitfalls. Do not be fooled. It is not for the faint of heart.
(O.k, maybe that is SLIGHTLY dramatic..)
But seriously...where is science?? Why can I not choose my color for the day? Why is that not available? I blame science.
Anyway, I am blonde and all is right with the world. My partner in the Great Hair Experiment has, of course, been my hairdresser, Jennifer The Hair Wizard. She rocks. Her exact words, after turning my hair back into a stunning blonde were,(In a small quiet voice, but speaking very pointedly) " O.K.. Our goal for your hair now, is to....be NICE to it. We've done a lot to it over the past few months, we need to give it a break." so, for awhile I am her "every-four-week girl". I'll be in for a root touch up, and a trim (Oh and you know...deep conditioning and all that).
I also ordered some new Bare Minerals. I ordered it from Sephora.com, so when you check-out you get to pick 3 free samples of AWESOME stuff that I wouldn't ever have the money to buy...AND..you can have it put in a beautiful gift box,..... to yourself....for free! "Happy Mothers Day to me!" I am so shallow that I put that on the gift card.....to me. To those of you who know me, this is no surprise.
Oh- BTW, I had the. BEST. thing. happen.
I met the mother of one of Austin's teammates , and part-way through the conversation she said, "Do you lift weights? You must lift weights, because your arms look SO good I wish mine did". AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! SO, yes, of course, we're total BFF's now. I love her. (gushing) I LOVE her! I shall take her under my muscular, toned wing and show her my ways. I shall share with her the secrets to a slender, well-sculpted fore-limb. (sigh) We'll be friends forever.......I just know it.
Best thing of all?? Race called. I may not get another phone call before he gets back, but this one was so good.(The short platinum do will be a total shocker for him, heh,heh..) The comms are bad where he is and it's darn near impossible to call or email, but this was a GREAT call, and I really needed that. He is amazing.
Thank-you for the prayers. They are coveted above all else.
And grandmama, I need you to stop crying over my posts. The kids can't stand it if I am making you cry! And BTW, I DO cry, just not in front of Race when he is leaving, cause that's just not fair! And come to think of it, it's largely because of his wonderful parents that he is the amazing guy that he is! So, buck up lil' trooper and dry those tears!
So. It was a good day. And I'm feelin' better.....and refreshed.....and thankful. Very, very thankful.

Please post pictures!!!! It sounds great and you sound like you're in great spirits!
Yes you do sound like your in great spirits. A new hair-do will do wonders for us.
As for my crying, I cry at weddings, births, and funerals, also when I hold someones baby, when trouble lurks. It's my release. Back when I was younger and before AAA I had a flat tire, I sat down on the steps, had a good cry,and then wiped my eyes and changed a tire! So tell the kids not to worry it's just Grandmama releaseing.
Love ya,
Grandmama
Woo-Hoo on the new do! Can't wait to see it. Wishing I could have made a trip to the salon before the ball tonight, but I will just deal with what I have.
Glad you're happy with your hair! Thom is the best sister ever, wow! You and Emily are blessed!
I'm ROFL@you g'ma because I thought she said "before AA" but she said AA-A! She sounds like a sweet lady!
ROFLMBO@you and that lady! You'll like my shallow post about taking the uglier girl out to the clubs. Only I don't think I said ugly, I said plain. Yeah. Today much be a shallow day. A happy one but a shallow one. Thank God I know we both have depth to us normally. LOL
I can't vote in the hair poll, as you look so cute in both pictures! And I envy your arms, also, sight unseen -- I saw pictures of myself on Mother's Day, and thought, "Ew, old-lady-arms!" You know, sort of pudgy up top, with a pointy elbow.
Envy checklist for this blog so far: garden, upper arms, setting for Mother's Day picnic ... I may need to stop reading, as it's piling up pretty fast.
