Thank you T.S. Andrea for THE BEST HAIR DAY EVER!!!!

Before we get started,

that title was intended to be read in a "megaphone announcer" voice.

If you did not give it your best go the first time

just hop back up there and then catch up.....

I know what you are thinking....

best ever? 

Well let me tell you.

You would think that after three weeks straight of 

piss poor weather, and the latest rain bands of 

good ole' T.S. Enough Already,

that my hair would look like I just stuck my finger in a socket.

You are correct.

I am not exactly sure what the magic was but today's hair...

pretty freaking rad!

And this girl got soaked in the rain. Twice. 

And went for a very humid ride in the Jeep.

Or was it my new shampoo?

Only time and better weather will tell.

What ever it was,

my tangled mess and mother nature where at one today.

p.s.

sorry about the crinkled up old lady face.

I am tired.

And I just ruined the cupcakes for tomorrow's

baby shower.

Peanut Butter Puke.

The first day of our cleanse is behind us.

I woke up and didn't crave coffee.

That's not to say that I don't think about it non stop, but I feel like I can function with out it.

I rubbed my tired eyes so that I could see the numbers on the scale a little clearer.

168.

That's where I will start.

I was excited to make the first breakfast off of our three week menu.

Mango Tahini.

The blender whizzed the ingredients into a 

sort of muddy yellow drink.

I took one sip and damn near upchucked it back into the glass.

I sat watching the hubs, in retrospect this was kinda mean.

I knew he was going to hate it.

I was sitting there choking mine down anticipating his first sip.

One quick draw on that straw and his face turned to instant horror.

He promptly shook his head,

and quickly made his way to the kitchen to discard the remaining smoothie.

On his return he looked at me like I was nuts, 

and said that the smoothie tasted like

"someone puked peanut butter into his mouth".

Honestly there is no better way to describe this horrid taste.

Peanut butter puke.

And now that's all I could think of.

I tried to finish mine, but could only gag.

So we started over. 

Mango smoothies.

Just plain mango.

Which we dertermined we don't really like either,

but it's better than the alternative.

10 things i couldn't live without this week

1. alone time. monday the boys school had an all day halloween party so i brought him in....even though i didn't have to work.  i toyed with the idea all weekend and couldn't decide if i could justify sending him to daycare for no reason. well the guilt sunk in come monday morning. how could i deprive him of a fun party at school? so dropped him off for a few hours and i got to go grocery shopping alone! it was amazing!
2. halloween was a huge success this year. i am pretty sure that it was the best family costumes that we've ever done! can't wait for next year!
3. the hubs blog is blowing up huge! and all the things he's written about are all so sweet. i can't lie....there have been a few posts that have brought tears to my eyes.
4. trick or treating with the boys friend violet. we never  get to see her anymore, but we had to keep our trick or treating tradition. last year they had a blast together and this year was so much better! they are both a year older and watching them interact with each other is so much fun. they were a fearless little duo!
5. finally watched the vidal sasson movie. it was amazing, inspirational, and moving.  even if you are not a hairstylist i recommend it. great movie about a legend.
6. thank you notes in the mail for no reason. i received a "thank you" from my dearest sweet Jessica. it was just to thank me for being me.  i mean how flippin' sweet! everyone deserves a friend like her.
7. while i am on the topic....i am so pumped up for jess and jonny (of our august fame)! they finally found their perfect apartment in the BK! when can i come visit?
8. i was starting to feel a little down about missing out on all the prime yard sales lately! since i am normally driving to work during yard sale time.  but when i saw that my friends were doing a sunday yard sale i jumped in the car and headed over! scored some amazing finds! (thanks kelly) and even realized on my way home that there were more yard sales in the neighborhood...scored a few more items as well.
9. the hubs took the boy to gumbo limbo nature center this weekend. while i am totally jealous that i didn't get to go, i am so excited to go with them eventually. they haven't stopped talking about how amazing it was.
10. speaking of the amazing hubs.....do you know that man ordered pizza for dinner to surprise me after my long day at work......that man sure knows how to make me happy.
