Aren't these just lovely? This is how farm-fresh eggs are supposed to look...not like the uniform white eggs in the store. I will not go on an egg rant. I will not go on an egg rant. I will not...
After the egg stop, I went and picked-up a white chocolate mocha for my favorite hair artist -- I call her an "artist" because she can work wonders with my curls. :) And what says "Merry Christmas. I appreciate you and your ability to give me great hair days!!!!!!!!!!!" like a grande hot coffee beverage and a hand-knitted dish cloth.
I sat down in Missy's spinning chair and realized that this stop - my blessed haircut - was my last scheduled event for the day. It's funny that I had nothing else planned after 9:45 a.m. What a wonderful feeling.
My new cellphone has sync-ed my blog pictures and my Facebook pictures sooo I was able to show Missy the exact haircut I wanted. It's from 2-years ago when she initially chopped my hair and taught me the art of straightening it. What a life-changing day!!!
30 minutes later, I left with a great haircut. It's amazing to me how she just knows what I want done with my hair...and then she does it. And I get to leave feeling like a million bucks without having to shell-out a million bucks. It's magical.
After the haircut, there was a quick stop to Target and Michael's to purchase more supplies to make one more batch of sugar scrub. In Target and thanks to Google, I learned that you can pretty much use any type of oil to make the sugar scrub. I found a blended with three different oils bottle of oil!!! Soybean, sunflower, and canola. It was quite reasonable. At Michael's, I purchased lavender essential oil.
Upon arriving at the cottage, I turned on Christmas music and worked on some last minute crafted gifts. Two bundles of hand-stamped cards for two very sweet little girls. A jar of lavender sugar scrub for their mom. And lastly a knitted scarf for the recipient of the Scarf of the Month club.
After the January scarf was made - and since the Christmas movie wasn't over - I found an extra purple skein of yarn (it's chunky yarn) and began knitting a simple scarf. Using size 17 needles, cast on 14 and knit to the end of the yarn. I'm probably halfway done. I have a couple other leftover skeins from last year...so I might knit myself silly.
In-between the knitting and Christmas movie watching and stamping, I did sneak away for an hour to the gym. I hadn't been since Tuesday. (Sigh.) I needed to go to the gym. It wasn't fun going by myself, but I was the sole elliptical-ing girl which can only mean one thing -- bye, bye ESPN and hello TBS!!!!
It seems to me that when I am forced to work-out without my gym peeps and the television is set to ESPN, it always seems that those particular work-outs take doubly long. I have no desire to watch football. 1st in 10...I could care less. Touchdown Schmunchdown. Field goal? Big deal. I could kick a football through those prongy devices that stick out of the ground. I mean seriously - how difficult is that??? I'm pretty sure my Sunday school kids could kick a field goal. Seriously!!!
I don't like football. I've tried to watch it. I'd rather have my teeth drilled. I'd rather have bamboo rammed underneath my fingernails. Speaking of fingernails, I'd rather get a manicure.
Tomorrow after church I am heading to my brother's house. Confession: I've not packed a single thing. Infact, where is my suitcase? Goodness. The beauty of going to Bry's for 2 sleeps (staying 2 nights) is that I won't have to pack much...and he lives close enough to Target so if I forget anything, I can just purchase it there.
I wonder what we are going to do while I am there. We would like to see our Grandma Dee and possibly head to Defiance, Ohio on Tuesday to see our uncle, aunt, and cousins. :) I will pack my camera!!!
