This One's for Joe

Yesterday I said some words to Joe that caused some concern.

I said, "I gotta go. Kristina's here." I could hear the hesitation in his voice.

You see, Kristina is my hair stylist. The best one I've ever had. So why is Joe nervous? Joe is fearful because he likes long hair on me. I like short or medium-length hair on me. Unfortunately for Joe, he doesn't have much say in it.

This is just to reassure him that I kept 3/4 of my hair on my head.


It's not so bad. Is it?

(Just one of the great things about Kristina is that she either comes to my house or I go to hers. How great is that?!? My favorite stylist that is portable.)

Cute new cut! You are so lucky to have a portable hairstylist - I wish!!
I finally got Matt to admit that he likes longer hair on me, which is surprising cosidering that most of the 14 years we've been together my hair has been meduim to short.

I just read through your last five or so posts and can I just say that you are one strong broad (affectionately put). Between the window breaking, bed peeing, leg smashing, personal concierge-ing - you are quite the inspiration since you can do all that AND have cute hair.

Phew. I need a nap from your activities.

Omg I love it!!! Bobby is the same way, he loves me with long hair (well loves me regardless but you know what I mean), and I like it shorter. But yours just looks SO awesome.

I love your hair! I'm extremely jealous! Very beautiful. Maybe if I had hair like that I wouldn't have mine up in a ponnytail every single day.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
