1. I woke up to a layer of ice and then, some more ice! Everything was blanketed in white. It was literally a winter wonderland. It was so beautiful. What's not beautiful? Having to go to work on such a fabulously wintery day. The puppies weren't havin' it--they insisted we stay in bed and snuggle. Although, the fuzzy one did brave the outdoors to drink out of the pool. And then eat ice off the cement. Is it weird that I was scared to death that her little tongue was going to get stuck? No, but, seriously, I'm at work. I'm cold. I.Want.To.Go.Home!
2. So, as SP has recently gone to red hair and prided herself in her new locks (and look) everytime dear gelato wielding boss says to her (or someone else)--"I can't believe how much SP looks like Borat's girlfriend". Which, means, Isla Fisher. Did I mention I love her? So, petty, and small and self-centered as it may be, I loves me a compliment like that. I have a point, I swear.
3. Point is: red hair (when you aren't a natural) can be a bit tricky. This means, fading color (getting a gloss on Thursday, lovelies!), and, if you're me, roots. Which are the devil. The exact opposite of how a Princess should look. I nearly considered coloring it myself last weekend when I couldn't get in to my hair stylist (seriously, even have the color in my bathroom). But, the roots! So tacky! I braved the store bought nonsense and tried the Clairol Root Touch Up. My.Heavens. I'm in love. I have no idea how that magical little product works--especially considering I purchased some sort of golden brown versus red (store did not have red and I have braved the cold. I wasn't coming home empty handed). Seriously, works wonders. I am considering stocking up. Now, I'm sure this won't apply to you lovelies, since roots are such a tacky subject, but, should you find yourself in need, this will not disappoint.
4. How am I supposed to wrap the husband's Christmas presents when he's home? Finals are over, so, he's home. And I am not good at being sneaky. And I got really good presents this year!
5. Am fairly certain I accidentally (seriously, I'm not a snooper, I like the surprise) spotted an Anthropologie bag in the guestroom (!), am hoping there is lovely goodness inside for me.
6. Need to mail Christmas gifts today. I loathe going to the Post Office. Such an ordeal.
7. I have soooo much to do before la familia comes into town this weekend, but, at the same time, I so desperately want this weekend to hurry up and get here--um, mainly because I need a freaking break, kids!!
8. I haven't been good about going to the gym, and man, that is not good. It's been so cold out that I can't walk to the gym at lunch (and if I drive I lose my parking spot, believe me, it's a daily battle).... There was the time I went to yoga last week, but, yoga was cancelled and there I was in my flip flops--not really ready to hop on the treadmill. SP needs to lose the chub y'all!!
9. I don't think the hot chocolate is helping.
10. I don't care.
11. Yes, I do.
12. I still want to go home.
13. I told you that I am just not productive during the cold. It is a good thing I don't live in Alaska. I wouldn't get a dang thing done. Ever.
I hope that wherever you are, you are toasty and warm! Can't believe it's the holiday season again. Have a fabulous Tuesday and be safe!
xoxo,
SP

For the hair color dilemma, NOT that I would know anything about this, but have you tried one of the color depositing shampoos? ARTec makes a good one. The results are subtle - nothing alone the lines of the Clairol you mention, I imagine - but good for maintaining.
It is also Arctically cold (30s!!) here in Austin Land, and only by the grace of this S-bucks Salted Hot Chocolate am I getting by. It is sort of novel & fun getting to wear scarves and boots and such, however.
Hope your day improves!
PS - I have read all but one of the excellent Emily Giffin books, and think I'll pick up the remaining one ("Baby Proof") for pool-lounging. Thanks for the tip!
I am so jealous you got snow!!! The week is almost over, kind of :-)
You should try printing postage labels at home and scheduling a pick up so you don't have to go to the post office. It is so easy! I have to mail something almost monthly and I only do it online at USPS now! Easy.
I was just asking myself the same question last night about "how do I wrap husby's present with him here"? I guess I'll have to go in another room and shut the door...and order him to stay out. Yeah, that's not obvious. Hmmm. Tricky.
I had to work carpool today! brrrrrr
I have to go to the post office this week too, and I loathe it as well! It's always SO crowded and the lines take forever! I'm glad to hear the root touch-up worked so well. I'll have to try that!
I feel your pain!
I'm not productive during the cold either, at ALL. Shivering takes my energy away. (pssst - it burns calories too. Well, maybe not. But let's say it does).
Working on a snow day? That stinks! I have a strong dislike for cold weather and I hate leaving the house when it's freezing outside! Much better to snuggle up w/a book inside!
I was going to recommend the color shampoo too...along w/the color gloss. Although I haven't found anything that really keeps the red from fading. But the trouble is worth the result...you look fabulous in that color!
I have a winter fever too, but who could tell because I have to run around and do stuff! I am a supreme snooper and I will come over and do a looky loo for you! LOL
i want to see a picture of the new 'do!
It's in the low-teens in Michigan, which means I am downright lazy. And I keep my large wool coat on ALL day. It's lovely.
