Got my hair did and other stuff

So I got my hair trimmed last night.  I gotta say I have a love/hate thing with getting my hair cut.  I hate having to get it done.  Mainly because I never know what I want to do with it so I keep the same style forEVER.  It's fine and fairly thin and has the very slightest of body to it so there's not a whole lot I can do with it without having to use a curling iron and I don't really like using them. 

But, when I actually make myself get it done I'm happy I do.  It's usually got split ends for days and is looking fairly raggedy.  So the end result is always so much better.  But, that's not the main reason.  The main reason is the pampering.  I love having someone else wash and rinse it.  Then when they're fixing it and the blow dryer is going and the brush is going through it and I'm not the one doing it, yeah that's nice.  The guy (and by the way that's the very first time I've ever had a guy do my hair in my 42 almost 43 years of life) last night would stick his fingers and swish it around while blow drying then run them through every so often.  He then actually did use a curling iron on it, which I can't remember the last time a hair stylist did that, maybe for my wedding in '05.  And it came out all curly and fluffy and I looked nothing like my self.  Which is also nice.

I told HDT not to expect to ever see it that way again since I'd never be able to it myself.  Heh

So I was looking forward to having several days to relax this holiday weekend.  I'm finally working for a company that takes Friday off.  Haven't had that for seven years or so.  So I figured we'd have three days to take it easy and recover from Thursday.  But since my FIL and StepMIL will be going to her families for Thursday they've decided to do Thanksgiving with us and HDT's sister and her family on Saturday. 

Friday we booked a movie marathon that starts 11:30ish and doesn't end until after 6:30ish.  Although it's still sitting on our asses it's still getting out of the house and not sitting on our asses there. 

So Sunday right now is looking like the only day that will truly be relaxing.  At least for now.  It is football day and the Saints are playing the 9ers.  So if they play like they did last night we're in for a fight which isn't relaxing.

Ah, but we'll still have to leave the house on Sunday anyway.  HDT's grandma is in a nursing home recovering from a fall in September.  And we need to go there in the evening to have her drink her protein shake and vitamin c drink that we're using to supplement her meals with to ensure she's getting all the vitamin's and protein she needs since she doesn't eat her meals very well.  Since HDT's mom is out of town through Sunday (at least) we're doing the evening drinks.  But that only takes about an hour or so since she drinks them so slowly and we do like to get some visiting time in while doing it.

Why?- Brennan
Never mind. - Booth

Randomness

I'm pissed at myself right now. When I fix my hair in the morning I'll take my wedding rings off while hair spraying so it doesn't get coated with the stuff. Normally I put them on the back of the toilet but today I put them in the pocket of my t-shirt I was wearing. Sure enough I forgot to take 'em back out and put 'em on. Luckily I have two rings I wear on my right hand that I switched over so I won't feel naked throughout the day. I bet no one will even notice just like they didn't notice I had my hair colored last Thursday.

My SIL, H Ditty's youngest sister, does hair. After she cut it in July I mentioned maybe getting some color put in but never got around to it until last week. Even then I wasn't sure about doing it but said screw and had her put in copperish colored hi lights. Not one person said anything at work. The people I only see rarely or don't talk to at all I certainly didn't expect them to say anything. But the people in my accounting department and in the service/project management department I figured would say something, at least a couple of the girls. But nope. Now bosslady I can excuse, she wasn't feeling well on Friday so wasn't really concentrating on much of anything throughout the day. She still wasn't feeling her best yesterday morning but she noticed it within the first 10 minutes after walking in the door. And it's not like it's subtle either, oh well, so be it.

The draw back to it is that on mornings that I don't feel like fixing it or I get up late I'll wash it and let it air dry then hold it back in a headband. The coloring on the bangs start about a half inch from the scalp and then it's only some of the hair. There's these quarter inch strips of color so it looks like zebra stripes almost. So I have to make a point of getting up on time every morning and whether I want to fix it or not I'm going to have to. Sucks big time.

My period has decided to come early, by a full week and a half. This is the drawback of working with so many women. Normally I'll have at least a few signs that it's going to happen. My face may breakout, my legs almost always hurt along with my breasts. I usually get the munchies too, I crave starchy crunchy foods. And certain bathroom functions change. I'm not going to go into how they change, you're welcome. But a few days ago, Sunday I think it was, I noticed that my breasts felt heavy. That's it, just heavy and I told H Ditty that it seemed odd since it's so early but it's one of the rare signs that happen. But when it does happen it's always with at least one of the others, usually more though. No others occurred but sure enough last night it started right up. I'm hoping that means it'll be one of those months where it comes in quickly, doesn't cause problems and then goes away just as quickly. Those months are rare but when they happen I'm very happy and relieved. Ok, enough of that.

So let's see, what else is going on. Oh yeah, football starts tomorrow, can't wait. It's the match up that should have been in the Superbowl in February. H Ditty has invited several people over but I'm sure only a few will actually show up. But that's fine with me, I like it when it's just the two of us watching a game. Oh crap, I need to find my hat again. I have a "Saints Girl" hat that I wear for every game and I don't remember where I put it at the end of the season. This happened to me last year and the season was almost half over before I finally found it. But I have a few ideas so I'll try to remember to look for it tonight.

We started watching The X Files and Sportsnight again. Those were such great shows. It's a shame Sportsnight didn't make it. But then Sorkins shows, besides West Wing, are never appreciated the way they should be. Everyone looks so young, especially David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson since X Files started in what, '93, I think it was. They look like such younguns it took a little getting used to again.

Alright, I'm done for now, I'm once again beginning to bore myself with the randomness of this entry. Apparently I really had nothing much to say today.
