Saturday, I had a hair appt. My roots were awful. I didn't understand why they looked so bad until I realized that it had been 12 weeks since my last highlight. I NEVER go that long. I guess that's what happens with the holidays & vacation. I went with low lights this time as to not become a total blond. Not that there's anything wrong with that but my natural color is about as dark a brown as you can get. So now my roots are all good, I got a trim & feel much better! Don't you always feel better after having your hair done?
Once I got home I managed to get a lot of ornaments off the tree before we left for Mass. The Saints game was on when we left & they were winning & all was good with the world. After Mass we went to Sammy's for dinner with our friends, the Smith's. We all love Sammy's & they have about a million TV's that we knew would all be tuned to the Saints. Well, they lost. Ugh! Now that LSU & Saints football is over we can't wear jeans to work on Fridays anymore. That's a real bummer. Do you know how easy it is to throw on a pair of jeans & grab a shirt on Friday morning? It's one of the things I love about football season!
Once we were home I got back to work on the Christmas decorations. This was stuff from the tree in the kitchen.
That's why I call it the big tree. I think I got 4 boxes of ornaments boxed up before calling it a night. Sunday morning I was back at it. I am happy to say that all ornaments, garland, bows, nativities, EVERYTHING is boxed up.
Notice I didn't say anything about Christmas trees. That would be because they're still standing. Once I got all of this stuff boxed up I wanted a break. So I took one. For the rest of the day. It was really cold & started raining. Perfect napping weather. So I took one. Only a short one. Like an hour. We watched football & I read. It was a great day. So, today when I get home from work the trees will come down & all of the boxes will go in the attic.
Reading update: Remember I said I was going to read actual books at home & my Nook away from home so that I could get through the bag o'books I have? Well, I finished "Secret To Happiness" by Sarah Dunn. It was interesting. I liked it & it was a very easy read but it was different. I came away thinking that Holly, the main character, was kinda weird. Still a good book. Sunday, on my break, I started reading "Family Ties" by Danielle Steele. I like a lot of her books & there are a lot that I wouldn't even attempt to read. This one is really good. I'm so curious to see what's going to happen. I'm hoping to finish it tonight.
Toodles!
Left you a little something on my blog. Congrats! :)

HOLY ORNAMENTS GIRL!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice collection going:)
It's okay.......WHO DAT?? :)
Bummer about jeans Friday! I'm always sad when the football season ends.
ReplyDeleteIt feels good to get everything down, doesn't it? I think taking down the Christmas decorations is a more difficult task and takes longer than putting them up.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you know how to do up a tree! That is a lot of work and I won't fault you for having it up still!
ReplyDeleteTaking down Christmas is such an undertaking! Glad you've about got it done!
ReplyDeleteGreat game y'all had this weekend. What do you think about Les and Michigan? I know a bunch of y'all are probably elated at the thought of him leaving!
Have a great day!
Such a huge job, I know!!! And I am with you on the dark as can be roots. hehe
ReplyDeleteSuch a relief to finally put the Christmas stuff away, isn't it?...Christine
