Weekend Randoms?

[stellabunny]

What are you all up to this weekend?

DH and I just got back from our belated Valentine's Day date - we did the indoor skydiving in a wind tunnel (way fun!) and then went out to a steakhouse. Glad we got home when we did because we're in now in the middle of a snowstorm.

That indoor skydiving sounds so fun!

We aren't doing much. Just hanging around the house.

[TheEleventhHour]

I cut my hair off!!! Gah I love it so much. Here's a before and after. Sorry if it is huge I am posting from mobile. PDQ I will probably delete later!

**POOF**

[stellabunny]

That's fantastic TheEleventhHour!

I got my hair done yesterday. Nothing too dramatic from normal except I hit my head really, really hard on a shelf when I was finishing up. It actually started to bleed a little and there's still a swollen bruise there.

[TheEleventhHour]

stellabunny Thank you!

Ouch to your head. DS slammed a toy car into my head a few weeks ago and it stayed swollen for a few days. I hope yours feels better soon!

[penguin129]

TheEleventhHour, Your hair looks GREAT! I always want to go short like that and have, but it never turns out the way I want because my curls go every which way. I keep telling myself I will grow it out fully.

stellabunny, The indoor skydiving date is definitely something DH and I would do. Sorry you hurt yourself. It sounds painful.

We went to our town's Swamp Cabbage Festival today. Our parade is very unique and features Swamp Buggies and Tractors among the normal parade stuff. Tomorrow I want to go back and watch the armadillo races (yes, you read that right).

I've been in kind of a funk. I think AF is coming and putting me in this strange mood. DH told me he could tell and thinks it is linked to moon phases. He's too funny.

[TheEleventhHour]

penguin129 Thank you! I am laughing at the "moon phases" comment. So funny.

[smalltownmoon]

TheEleventhHour You look darling!

[smalltownmoon]

LO and I went to a birthday party for my friend's son. It was fun but FL is back up in the 70s so I was way overdressed, didn't drink enough water and have a dehydration headache. Wah. We made cubandillas for dinner and now I'm thinking about going to bed early. I feel like poop.

More snow over here so I did some more crafting! I finished a hat for me and made a dinosaur hat for DS!

[TheEleventhHour]

skategirl128 That dinosaur hat is AMAZING. I love your hat too!

[esmerelda]

TheEleventhHour I love it!! Ahhhh I'm so excited for you.

[esmerelda]

We painted bird houses yesterday. Today was easy baked cupcakes and Lounged most of the day. Tomorrow I work both jobs blahh

[penguin129]

I'm really thinking about getting my hair cut to look like this pic. DH likes my hair longer. Right now it is just above my shoulders. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. My hair is curly just like the hair in the pic.

[tonksy]

Another vote for awesome cut @eleventhhour!

[TheEleventhHour]

smalltownmoon, esmerelda, tonksy, Thank you ladies!!! I have been wanting to cut it but kept putting it off. My mom finally dragged me to the salon. I am so glad she did because I love it!

DH is camping with his dad, so it's just DD and me. I took her out to run errands earlier today, then rewarded her with a hot chocolate. We just hung out at home this afternoon.

Tomorrow I am getting some alone time, then going to my friend's son's 3rd birthday party. I hope to take DD, but it's right during her nap time.

[TheEleventhHour]

penguin129 That cut is really pretty! You should do it! DH always said he liked my hair long (pre baby it was 3/4 down my back and post baby hair shedding I've kept it shoulder length) but he loves my new cut!

[namastebiotches]

So cute!!!! TheEleventhHour

[namastebiotches]

Yesterday we attempted to see Boxtrolls with DS. They were having $1 tickets. He made it about an hour, then he started with the potty trips back & forth while being very noisy coming back in & out.
So we left. :/

This is such a cute cut. I'd go for it!

[namastebiotches]

I thought about going short but I feel like my face is too fat to pull it off. :/

I love that and DH would love it to. He loves short hair on women. I can't pull off anything shorter than my chin though. Chubby cheeks/butt chin/crazy frizzy hair equals not good times.

We were supposed to be seeing both sets of grandparents today but DHs grandmother is not feeling well so his dad is trying to convince her to go to the hospital (apparently she won't eat or drink?) It makes me so sad...I've been with DH almost 11 years. I remember his grandma being a fiesty, independent woman until her stroke in 2010. Now she is just totally confused, angry and doesn't take care of herself. She and her husband really need to be in a home where they are getting constant care. His dad tries to go over a few times a week but since he works 70-80hrs a week, it isn't always possible.

DH and I both have colds so we spent most of yesterday resting until we had to go to the soccer game we'd already bought tix for. It was fun but now DH sounds worse than yesterday. I feel a little better so I might let him rest and take DS shopping for big boy bedding.

[Deleted]

TheEleventhHour,That looks great on you!
skategirl128, Cute hats, I love craftiness.
penguin129, do it!

DD birthday gift was supposed to arrive by mail yesterday. The Track'n'trace site claims it was delivered at 5pm (when DH was home), but we didn't get it. The mail guy may have been somewhat earlier and missed him. And may have delivered it to neighbors or post office, but he did not leave a message for us, so we don't know where our package is. Good thing we ordered it well in advance. I would have been really pissed if I needed that Lego Duplo trainset right now. I called the online store to see if they had more information and they are working on getting the mail company to supplying us with the correct information.
These things can be such a PITA.

TheEleventhHour, LOVEEEEEE your cut!!!! You have the perfect face for it, so pretty!!

We stayed in all weekend. I'm getting over another head cold (short lived one this time, thank goodness). And DD has something going on with her eyelid. Started swelling Friday and then Saturday I noticed a bump. I think it's a stye? I know they don't really do anything for those, but I think I'll take her in tomorrow to double check it in case. I don't want to send her to school with some funky contagious thing. The swelling has gone down a teeny, but it's still pretty swollen. Blahhh.

[TheEleventhHour]

chapter79 Thank you!!! I am glad your cold was short lived this time. I had a stye once. They didn't do anything. Just warm compresses and wash with mild no tears soap/shampoo. Hope A feels better soon!

namastebiotches You should find a cut you like and bring it to a stylist! I picked a photo of Ginnifer Goodwin and showed it to my stylist. In the end cut looks nothing like hers because my stylist changed it to fit my face/features better. I've cut my hair this short once before (and when I weighed 100 pounds less) and it looked AWFUL because the stylist didn't give me the right cut for my face.

However, I will admit I am having first day left to my own devices woes. It is going to take some trial and error (and purchasing a few styling tools/products) before I can get it perfectly styled again!

[TheEleventhHour]

Also LOL at the love tit being "gives squishy boob hugs". I love that.
