Happy Birthday?
You know, I’ve never actually had one? A happy birthday, that is. I’ve always been let down and disappointed by people (and in some cases the weather too) other than my family this time of year. I’m left feeling insignificant, overlooked and downright ignored on the one day that I feel it is acceptable to…

Bathroom/Kitchen Reno: Part 4
Finally some walls! The drywall went up and a pocket door went in! I’m excited. A pocket door means that there won’t be a regular swing door taking up space in the rooms. The worker dude (OMG he’s so cute! I love a handy man! He can’t be more than 30…. I wonder if I…

Good News + Bad News
The good news is that my gold satin shirt came in and it looks great! I actually ordered the right size! The bad news is that I am sunburned ALL over. Literally. I didn’t realize nipples could get sunburned. What a silly oversight! I guess I ought to lay off the tanning beds for a…

Appreciate your Freedom

Vidal Sassoon: New Look!
So, I did it! I went to the salon last night and had a pretty good experience. It’s much more posh than I thought it would be. There’s a coat check and assistants to get you drinks and stuff… My stylist was good, turns out she teaches at the school at the salon which made…
