October Love

I am thisclose to being done with (what I think will be) the most difficult part of school for this year. Final on Wednesday. Woo Hoo!

Today I went in to see my hairdresser and said,

"I want it dark."

She raised her eyebrows,

"How dark?"

I smiled,

"Halloween dark."

She started laughing,

"Did you say halloween dark?"

See? I do have a sense of humor...sometimes.

So I was sitting in her chair with foil in my hair trying to read Elle Decor (which is pretty good by the way) with techno music blaring in the background, and all of a sudden Whitney Houston's version of I will always love you comes on as a music video.

So I'm thinking, that's weird--techno to Whitney Houston and all of a sudden it turns into a techno mix.

It was as bad as you can imagine.

Saturday

I had a good day today, my wonderful husband spent the day talking to one of his friends about drywalling our basement and took care of our son while I went and got my hair done. Finally. I literally hadn't had it cut since September and I had split ends on my split ends. Unfortunately, I couldn't get highlights since I'm barely out of the 1st tri. and very conservative when it comes to dyeing my hair while preggo. But I got a good cut, found a shirt I loved on sale for $5 at Shopko, and overall just had a good time by myself.

Today I got to thinking about Holden's first birthday, mostly because I would like to finish the basement before he turns 1 so we can have a party and actually fit some of our family in our house. I'm having trouble deciding what kind of carpet to get and leaning toward thick carpeting with lots of padding. I know it will probably be expensive but my grandma has this stuff in her house and I loooooove it. I'm not sure what exactly you're supposed to do at a first birthday party since the guest of honor doesn't really know what's going on anyway. I probably won't even make him a cake, he'll just get a cupcake. It's still 2 1/2 months away so I guess I have time to figure it out.

I think it's about time for me to read a little bit of my trashy Nora Roberts book and my new copy of Redbook before wonderful husband gets tired of watching Holden.
