& that's the way life goes

Firstly, Happy Memorial Day.  A thanks is deserved to all the people that have or still do serve in our military.

Memorial Day also starts off the unofficial summer.  Some years its effin cold, 30some degrees, but not this year.  The temperature today was hovering near 80.  Glorious!  It felt like summer.  The whole weekend was actually beautiful.  Somewhere between 70-75 with massive amounts of sun.  Thank you Mother Nature

So if you are interested here is a little recap of my weekend.  If you aren’t, well you know where the back/exit buttons are.

Friday:

• I got my hair cut and my eyebrows waxed (finally!)  The girl that does my hair, she’s not my favorite hairstylist to say the least but she gets the job done.  She tends to choke me with the cape and stabs combs my hair hurting my scalp every once in awhile.  She is also kind of more opinionated than I like to listen to.  But overall she’s nice enough and the job is done alright for the price I pay.  So the whole time I’m there this time she tells me about her client 2 before me that apparently puked all over the place and decided to deny it.  Yeah, say it with me…GROSS!  But the hair and brows are good so moving on…
• I shopped, I had to stop at Macy’s for my cousin T’s shower gift giftcard (I know I’m lame).  I passed by a clearance rack and found the brand of jeans I bought earlier this year that I actually like.  I tried a pair on and decided to buy them, they were on clearance after all.  So major markdown and also the 15% off if I used my Macy’s card (which YAY has a 0 balance) and they were $12.59.  So freaking awesome!  But it gets better, I found a work shirt at New York and Company for $10.59 and I stumbled across the night owl sale at Kohl’s.  I got some useful things like tanks since they were on sale but I saved my coupon thinking C would need some stuff.  I had to hurry cuz the poor doggies had been cooped up since that morning.  Unfortunately, C and I never made it back

Saturday:

• I slept in, cleaned and went to T’s bridal shower.  It was a gorgeous day for it and a very pleasant event.
• Watched the Wings beat the Pens 4-0, and spent the time making loud comments and yelling at the tv for bad calls with C.  It was tons ‘o fun.

Sunday:

• Nothing!  Totally awesomeness NOTHING!  We slept late, drank coffee on the back patio, made scrambled eggs with tomoato, green & red peppers mixed in along with sausage and hashbrowns.  Delicious!  I made pasta salad to chill in the fridge and then I sat out in the sun reading taking time to give the dogs long awaited baths with the hose.

Monday:

• We got up early to attend the Memorial Day parade in Dearborn.  Actually not attend, I got C to walk in the parade with me for the Friends of the Dearborn Animal Shelter.  The day turned hot and sunny.  It was great and poor Dottie had to walk forever.  She was such a sweet girl.  It says in her bio she pulls on a leash but I had no problems with her so they must have worked very hard with her on that.

Now it’s time for the Wings game so I’m off.  I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend, or for all of you not in the States, a great Monday!
