Almost Friday!!

[designaddiction]

I wanted to do a winning Wednesday, but it's Thursday, so let's celebrate the fact that the week is almost over!

[designaddiction]

I'm getting my hair did! Loving it!!

[melw629]

designaddiction how fun! What are you doing to your hair? I have the urge to do something drastic, but not quite ready to pull the trigger...

I have a super busy day tomorrow, but it's followed by a dinner with the ladies at church, and DH has the baby for the evening! So excited for adult interaction, and happy that the boys get some quality time together.

[designaddiction]

melw629 dark purpley brown-red...somewhere in there. So excited! I saw a ton of greys.

Enjoy your adult interaction. I never realized how much I would miss that until having a kid.

Dark-pupley-brown-red sounds so awesome! I'm a chicken shit when it comes to hair (and style in general). I've have natural mousey-goldish-dark-blonde-or-light-brownish hair. Every once in a while I get light blonde highlights. I attempted to go reddish last summer but after about 4 trips to the salon, it just did NOT take. Thankfully, my BFF is a hairstylist, so I don't have to pay

designaddiction, I'm jealous, my hair is in DESPERATE need of something! I haven't had it cut since LO was 3 weeks old. It is so long and straggly I can't stand it!! Let us know how it comes out!

melw629, Have fun! I miss adult interaction too!

Fridays are my day off which is so nice so DD and I will do some errands and enjoy the beautiful weather!

[designaddiction]

Hair turned out fabulous, a super dark and definitely purple, but I love it.

jt2378 that's about the timeline I was working with, it was so time to get it done. My niece is a hairstylist so I didn't even have to pay for it! She is just learning so I was a model for her to basically test on. Enjoy your Friday off with DD, I work half days on Friday so I just have to get through a few hours...

Add me to the camp of needing to get my hair done. I chopped it off back in Feb but it has grown out a lot since then. I would love to have my hair dyed at a salon, I have never done that. I just always do it myself.

I'm so happy it's Friday! We had such a crappy night Wednesday with my 3 year old being sick with cold and fever and the baby just cut his first tooth Tuesday so he didn't sleep well and I got about 2 total hours of sleep. Last night they both did so much better and lo slept almost all night. Thank you formula and the super thick cereal mixed with formula and applesauce right before bed. I needed the sleep!

Tonight we might go see the avengers with all 4 of the children. Saturday is my friends sons 6th birthday and I can't believe the little guy is already 6. I was in the room when he was born and scared to death when he got stuck and turned purple. He was 10lb 14oz and they should have done a c section. Sunday, who knows. I have guilt so we shall see.

[designaddiction]

thelittlesrunmylife you are brave going to the movies with that many kids. Glad you got some sleep. Have fun at the bday party!

[designaddiction]

doglover31 go try it sometime! It's lovely, you basically get a head massage when they wash your hair too. Highly recommend it

Me neither and I have been holding off dying until gray hairs appeared (which they are!). I tried coloring my own hair back in the day and it always turned brassy! I'm worried if I have it done at the salon I will have to manage the upkeep and considering its taking me 8 months to get a haircut that could be a disaster!

[jt2378]

One more random, I'm treating myself sometime this weekend to the Smores Frappuccino, has anyone tried it? Looks delicious and I'm a huge smores fan, don't care it was 7,000 grams of sugar in it, LOL

[spacedcadet]

Woo Hoo! This has been the longest freaking week ever. Between severe weather all week and DS's poor sleeping habits am I DONE!

As far as getting my hair done, I used to go about once every 6 months or more, and decided a couple of years ago to make an effort to be consistent with it. It has been pretty nice, although it did take me a bit to get back into after DS was born, but it is such a nice little treat. I just get highlights and a trim most of the time and I go every 8 weeks, which would have been crazy for me previously, but I make the time now, even if I have to leave work early or something that day.

designaddiction that sounds like a great color... now I'm wondering if I need to change it up a bit at my next appt.

jt2378 I haven't tried the Smores frapp yet, but I would love to try it at the frappy hour or whatever. There is a starbucks right by my house and I think I could make it by 5 straight from work, but then I might be up all night. I may wait until this weekend to try it as well, who knows?

[judyblume14]

Man, my post got lost.

jt2378, I haven't had the S'mores Frappacino yet. I just wanted to give a hint to everyone for the best at-home s'mores.

graham cracker
Mini candy bar (like a reese cup, or take five or mini snickers... something more interesting than plain hershey's)
marshmallow
graham cracker

wrap in foil and toss in the toaster oven (or over the gas stove burner on low) for a couple minutes!

[jt2378]

spacedcadet, ya I was thinking of getting it without coffee and just the milk blend but figured I wouldn't get it too late in the day because of the sugar, LOL

judyblume14, that sounds amazing, thank you for the idea!

anniebn, I feel like I have no time either hence the straggly hair! ugh

@beckaroo, the Birks sound adorable and I'm sorry you feel sweaty, I'm starting to now too with the weather getting warm and holding DD, she is like a little heater!

Just went out to buy mother's day gifts and couldn't find anything! UGH and of course I haven't done any of the projects we talked about this week, epic fail, i knew it...

On the topic of hair. Dh is trying to pressure me into getting my hair colored. I used to color it for years. I got sick of trying to keep it up or else the roots show and you just look really silly. My hair is rapidly going gray and that freaks out Dh. I find it hilarious that it bugs him so much. I think if I did want to dye it, it would be something odd, maybe blue or purple.

I had mine dyed violet a few years ago.  I just looked kind of dark reddish indoors, but out in the sun it was super bright.  I had an office job so that was about as crazy as I could get.  I say go for it!!

Even though I found cute ideas, I haven't actually done anything, wah!!!!! I bought my mom and MIL cards and a frame. Hoping to print out a cute pic of LO tomorrow morning so that I have something to give them. I haven't had time to do anything crafty. Note to self, next year plan well in advance.

I haven't done anything either. I get emails from Shutterfly all of the time and it didn't occur to me to maybe order something from there for them until it would have come too late. Oh well. They might just get something late. My mom lives out of town anyway, so I would have had to ship it to her anyway.

Tried the Smores Frap today, pretty much heaven! They are a little stingy with the chocolate flavor but definitely tasted the graham. BTW tomorrow is the last day for Frap Happy Hour, 3 - 5pm, 1/2 price, didn't even know this when I walked in at 3:05 today, perfect!!
