Are we all getting our hair cut by the same person? I hate my hair cut too. I wanted layers and she cut some way to short and didn't blend them in. I really didn't notice how bad it was until I straightened it myself the next day. Ugh.

My chiropractor has goofy hours that change from one day to the next. I needed to go last week, but on Friday I thought it was Thursday until it was too late to get over there. Now my neck hurts and I don't think I'll be able to get over there today either.

We fixed that issue by saying a short grace before dinner each night. Grace doesn't start until EVERYONE is sitting at the table and eating doesn't start until grace is finished. We don't practice any religion so that doesn't work for us ... they just need to wait for me It doesn't have to be religious. You can thank the earth for her bounty, or share gratitude for food on your table and your family eating together. Or have each person share what they are grateful for, like Thanksgiving, but every day. I didn't say grace or a blessing over the food growing up, but given how fortunate we are compared to billions of people for the amount of food we have, I actually like it as a tradition. But, what works for my family may not work at all for yours - I was just tossing it out there. Now, if you figure out a way to stop the having me get up a zillion times DURING the meal, let me know!

My brother gave me a $150 GC to a local salon I've been using for years. I was DYING for a massage. They closed their doors this weekend. No notice, no nothing

My backyard is fenced on one side and we tend to gather every dang leaf in the village directly in my backyard. There is a little cove where we rake and pile them in the fall so we can use them throughout the winter.
I took advantage of the weather today and used the leaf sucker upper to suck some up and made a pile for the hens to play in.
I ended up spending three hours vacuuming the entire yard to make the pile big enough for a grand chicken adventure....and I got a blister.

It was really nice here yesterday, and I put the top down on Mitzi. When I parked, I had a heck of a time latching the roof. I'm sure there is a "sweet spot", and eventually I'll get it, but it's embarrassing to sit there for 10 min trying to put the roof on. lol I mightve missed your post...is mitzi a beetle? I couldnt get them latched to save my life...I had to get out, stand in the backseat and go through a whole gymnastics routine to get the top up and just knew I'd end up on the side of the road in the rain cussing and crying so I went with a mini with a button that puts the top up and down. Ha. I'd love to see pictures! I'll never not have a convertible!

Really Red - I think there's a way to get reimbursed for the gift card. I remember seeing something about that on the news a while back.

@stephdrebel Mitzi is a Mazda Miata. The roof is manual, which is ok. It's the darn latch, but I'm sure I'll get the touch eventually.

We don't practice any religion so that doesn't work for us ... they just need to wait for me There's no doubt they should wait for you. We're not religious, but offer a thanks before dinner: We are grateful for the food before us, the friends beside us, the love among us. Or sometimes my son busts out with yubba dubb dubb time for grub or something equally inappropriate.

Mine is that my family doesn't wait for me when we sit down to dinner so they are almost done before I even start .. Curious what are you doing? If the food is ready and you put it on 4 plates, why don't you sit down immediately to eat?

Ok, I didn't expect to come in here and see all the complaints about hair cuts. I'm scared! Dec 2015 I had to give up my hair stylist. All was good, I can color my own hair with the same products she used from Matrix. I rarely got my hair cut only small trims from frying since I flatten it daily... So it took till October to finally get up the courage to go somewhere else. Girl cut my hair 'good enough' Not nearly enough but I was okay with it. Problem is, from the cold weather and the abuse I put to my hair, I need it cut and I need a lot cut off. I'm scared to death!!!!! I have an apt for Wednesday, just before leaving on a trip..... You girls have pretty much scared my silly, right now! So there you go, my first world problem! You'll be fine, sorry to have scared you. SaveNo worries. I've always had a fear of getting a bad hair cut. Since my mother thought a dorthy Hamell cut would be cute on me, problem was I had wavy hair!

I need to go in and get my nails done! It's been three weeks since my last touch-up! I do my own nails and had to trim them a teeny bit and do cuticles. And then strengthen, do a base coat, 2 coats of polish, and top coat. Took me about 2 hrs!

I HATE the Charter TV cable I just got here at this house, because I have been spoiled by Dish at our other house. The Charter remote is too big and clumsy and the way you get around in Charter is just not as user-friendly as Dish. Oh, there are just so many features missing that it feels like Charter is an antique system. Pretty sure I will switch to Dish tomorrow.

I have to go to Vancouver tomorrow to see my son graduate. I am proud of him but I have to get up early to take the ferry. I want to cross the water on a bridge not ride the ferry. I hate taking the ferry. We will be sitting in the quiet area, but well I hate taking the ferry. I am so proud of my son though. I sent him a text telling him how proud I am of him. He won't respond. He will just crack a smile and nod his head knowing how proud I am of him.

I work on the weekends and I have Monday to do all my grocery shopping and meal prep. I had the stomach flu and couldn't shop or cook, so now there is no food in the house, and nothing cooked for the week. Can I order pizza every night?

We got some unexpected money, as much as I would love to have some fun with it, it will mostly likely go to fixing a vehicle.
I hate exercising. Where is this rush you are supposed to get from it and where is the weight loss. I have significantly changed my diet and exercise regularly and the results are minimal at best.
Eating healthy is way too much work for me. I have to plan everything, prepare lunch the day before. I want to use reusable containers, and they are even more work. I am in a very lazy mood today and just want my food ready in containers I can just throw away. But instead I take the time to cut everything, pack everything, wash everything and throw scraps into the organic recycling. Normally this does not bother me, but today it does.

I had that flu a couple weeks ago on grocery day. We had to eat out of the freezer and cupboard last week.

I went away to a scrapbooking event with two friends in October. A scrapbook layout I was working on in our hotel room has disappeared. Then about a month ago we were away scrapbooking and another layout has disappeared - same friends. I know I am getting older (mid fifties now), but isn't this too coincidental? I am very detail oriented and I can't figure out for the life of me what happened to these layouts.

I'm out of pretzels and keep forgetting to pick up a bag when I go to the grocery store!
Oh, and the $26 million LottoMax was won by someone in Ontario and it wasn't me! I hope it's a nice person, at least.

No one starts eating until everyone is sitting down and everyone has their food.
