I’m so happy that some of you actually came over and read this. Thanks guys! If you’ve ever blogged, you know its added motivation to have others be part of it. I think I’ll reach a point (or hope to anyway) where its more therapeutic for me and I won’t need other peoples involvement, but currently, it still helps.
Last night we got haircuts. Not Dekker, but he came along for the ride. It feels sooo refreshing to have short hair for summer! The lovely lady that cuts my hair from her home is moving soon and I really don’t know what I’ll do without her. There is something about being able to say “I totally trust your judgement” to someone and come out with a beautiful cut. I also had big exciting plans to go blonde this year, but I’m nervous to start that process with someone and then try to continue/finish it with someone else. So blonde will have to wait. Suggestions anyone? Otherwise I might find myself stalking my hairdresser to her new home in a new province every two months.
After we had our cuts, her husband surfaced from the basement where he was finishing some work for the day, made us all some tea, and we had a really nice visit in the living room while the babies played. It was so nice to spend time with them on a social level, even though our haircut visits are never super formal or anything, it was still different, and we liked it a lot. We left their home around 10:00pm, and while I hope for their sake that their house sells soon and they can get on with their exciting new adventure, I hope they stick around for at least one more cut 😉
We got home around 10:50pm and fed Dekker and put him to bed. Surprisingly, he’s already talking away in his room. He normally sleeps anywhere from 10 to 14 hours, and this is a little less than 10, so I’m just letting him chat for a bit. Maybe he’ll go back to sleep. However, after doing my normal pass through online (email, facebook, LikeNet, now here) I see that lots is happening in Saskatoon today and I’m wondering if I should get him up and go, or if we should just have a quiet day at home. I know the rides at Kinsmen Park are free today, which is awesome! But I also know Brady would be very sad to miss that, as we’ve been talking about taking Dekker there for quite some time. Also, Safeway’s “This Friday Only” sale includes 15 cobs of corn for $5! Considering the quality of Safeway’s veggies usually, I almost want to drive out there and pick some up, since I know it will be gone by the end of the day, rendering a trip by Brady after work completely useless. Also, my gas money alone makes the corn a LOT more expensive if thats all I’m going in for. Tough call, tough call. I still need to find a gift for my nephew, who turned two recently and who I will be seeing this coming week. I’m a little stumped on that, so I know I need to go in and do some serious shopping. However, after my last shopping trip on a wildly stormy day accompanied by tornado warnings, on my own with Dekker, going to probably 10 stores looking for maybe one thing in each, the thought of errand running is just a little overwhelming. Maybe I’ve just answered my own question. I guess we’ll just stay home and get some good naps in. I’ll pay a couple bucks for Kinsmen Park a different day. I’ll buy corn for full price, or just wait for it to finish growing in my garden. And I’ll shop for the birthday gift on Saturday with my husband to back me up.
I suppose the second half of this entry is relatively meaningless, as it sort of cancels itself out, but at this point, I’m still new on here and it looks better to have a longer post, hahaha!
