Dog days...

Today is starting off to be one of those days...

Notice these two paul mitchell products from the back?  They look almost identical...especially out of your peripheral vision when you are going through your morning routine on auto pilot. 

One is a heat seal product I spritz on before blow drying, it makes my hair soft and shiny and it smells delightful!!  The other is a spritz product I use on my dogs to repel fleas and ticks. 


Ruh Roh Reorge!!!


Can you guess which one I mistakenly grabbed and doused my hair with before blow drying this morning??

Let's just say that I am in no danger of having fleas or ticks in my hair this morning.

Drums Alive!

I went to the funnest class tonight that involved drum sticks and those big exercise balls...who knew they made such good drums?  And what a great work out!  It combined rhythm with dance moves and drum sticks...so much fun!  I even sweated, which is weird because I never sweat...or anything else even remotely similar to being gross :)  Just ask my husband...actually no don't ask my husband.  Because somewhere between dating and getting married he wanted to call and warn his brothers about some of the mysteries of girls that they never learned growing up in an all boy house.

So I repeat DO NOT ASK BEN.

Speaking of Benjamin, yes hon you were right 'Anne of Green Gables the Continuing Story' was super lame and really disappointing.  They were on such a good streak too with those first couple of movies.  Well you know what they say about trilogies! 

All the small things.

I was feeling very lonely on Saturday and not sure what to do with myself for the weekend.  I had an appointment to take my car into the dealership for a recall notice I had received.  It just happened to work out that I was 2 blocks from the Western Days Celebration and everyone and their dog was there.  I'm not exaggerating about the dogs just so you know.  There were a lot of dogs there! 

Anyway, I was beginning to feel very lost in the crowd of people and realizing that I don't have very many close friends here in Twin.  At least no weekend plans kind of friends.  As the parade came through the main street, all the American flag stuff had me close to tears.  I decided to split.  Just as I got to the last block before my stop I heard someone yelling my name and turned to see my boss Debbie waving me down.  I couldn't have missed her if I tried. It felt so good to see a familiar face in the crowd.  I thought it was so interesting that she ran into me when she did.

 It's just one of the many small things that lets me know someone is aware of me.

Church was lovely today, so many people are counting down the days with me until Ben's R&R.  I am always so touched by how many people know the exact amount of time I have left until Ben gets here.  I guess I am not alone afterall :)


On a side note I discovered a booth at the western days celebration that sold all sorts of emu products.  I had to stop.  I mean I HAD to.  There was no getting around it.  After spitting in Ben's face the night he rolled over in bed and told me he wanted to be an Emu farmer...I had to!  By the way it was laugh spit!  It's not like I meant to do it!

So I found a future manufacturer to buy Ben's Emu products from his farm...er our farm.
