Highlights....

I'm not sure what I think of my new $125.00 highlights. I know....I didn't expect the sticker shock either. Last time I was there she colored and highlighted and it was $95. I don't know what happened since March. I think this time she charged me separately for both processes. I picked out a richer, deeper base color....a lovely deep chocolate color with a hint of red. For the highlights, a brighter red....but not shocking. I think she left me under the dryer too long with the foils....my highlights are looking more pumpkin orange as the night goes on....I'm not sure if I'm happy with it. Not only that, the color seems to be much stronger at the top (where most of the heat was), than at the bottom. I think I may call her and ask that she tone it down a bit. When I picked the girls up from school this afternoon, I didn't mention my hair....and they didn't notice it until I said something. But when I pointed out my copper penny coif, they both looked at me and said, "Ohhhhhh. Yeah, now I see it." They said it looks good....but I still don't know. My mom liked it....and John didn't notice it either. When I pointed it out to him, he walked all around my head, hesitated for a split second, and then said he liked it. Hmmmmm.....I will see what happens over the weekend, as she doesn't work again until Monday. If it doesn't wash out a bit....as red usually does on me....I may be returning on Monday.

In other news....wee one is having two of her girlfriends over to spend the night in the tree house. JB brought home a box heater for the cool evening air, and we put the tv/dvd player up there as well. We stopped at the store after school for the usuals....bagel bites, push ups and grape Crush in bottles....oh, to be a kid again! As Betsy was watching wee one pondering the various bags in the snack aisle, she said to me, "I wish I were a kid again." LOL....welcome to my world....

DH was a sweetie tonight and got some Mickey D's for us. I was not in the mood to cook....but now, I'm regretting it. My tummy doesn't feel too good. That's twice today I didn't have a good feeling about something, did it anyway, and was sorry with the results. Dang it.

We are still waiting for one little girl to get here. I am the designated "waiter"....as you can't hear the doorbell in either end of the house. So here I sit, whilst Betsy is in her room watching a movie, JB is in the living room doing the same, and the girls are in MY room watching Nickelodeon. Tonight I am sleeping in wee one's room, with the window open so that I can hear the girls if they need me. JB was not happy with that idea and has said he is going to sleep with me. I don't know if he is insane or what....but we aren't in the same shape we were back in the day....there is no way both of our "ample butt's" are going to fit on a twin mattress! LOL....He thinks it will be "romantic" and "cozy". I think it will be "cramped" and "annoying"!

I don't think we have any plans for the weekend thus far. Mom is coming over in the morning so that JB can do her brakes, and that's about as far as the plans go. I can't believe that next week is Thanksgiving already! I have to get going on the turkey bingo game I promised for wee one's party....not to mention I was chosen to bring mashed potatoes for the dinner at school. No sweat, I thought. I'll just get two containers of the pre-made stuff....badda bing badda bang....we have potatoes! However, wee one said, "Oh mom, pleeeeeeeeease make your homemade ones!" Crap. How can I say no to that?
