So, oops.
I completely missed the memo that today was the last weekday before Christmas holidays!! Foolishly, I made city plans today, and was in Saskatoon for the bulk of the day! While it was pure insanity, I’m happy I went in and got those few things done!
I got my legs and arms freshly waxed, which was overdue and felt OH so good! I got my nails redone also, which was necessary. Both of my thumbnail gels had come clean off, and things were looking rough. Plus, with the gel off of those, they were thin and sharp and I was starting to pick at my skin. So it was more than time. It felt good to get that taken care of. I opted for some plain medium grey nails, because if you know me at all, you know I think grey is the comfiest color, and that feels like a good theme for the season!
I had some time to kill after that and was on a mission to find one more Christmas gift thats been eluding me. I tried Winners but walked out empty handed. Trust me, I could’ve bought a handful of things for myself easily, but I resisted. I resisted there, anyway. Made up for “missed opportunity” later…
I hit Walmart for a handful of necessities, and scanned around for that gift I couldn’t find. I ended up in the makeup zone and snagged a couple of items I’ve had my eye on for a while now. Again, I could’ve done a lot more damage than I did. I bought two out of the three things that I really wanted, and left a few other fun things behind, so go me! Still couldn’t find that gift, though.
Leaving Walmart was bananas. BANANAS. I had already parked aaaaall the way in the back, which is my usual go-to move, but like even further back! Everything was so tight, I was having a pretty brutal time getting out of my spot, and these two wonderful women came to my rescue and guided me out. What a relief!
I made my way to my last appointment, to get the side of my head touched up. Good thing I gave myself extra time because it was completely crazy downtown!! I circled the block a couple of times before I buckled and took a parking spot about a block away. But it was fine. I was still a little early for my appointment, and my hair girl had just finished up with her previous client! We actually dug in a little deeper today, and she washed my hair and tried a new style in it. It didn’t work out how either of us were hoping, but its still a fun look, and was nice to just chat and catch up a bit before Christmas. I love her. She’s the best.
I hit Lawson mall as a last ditch effort to find that present. I searched the whole place and came out without, again. I did buy myself another thing. Don’t judge me. It was just little. A shirt. No biggie. But nothing for that last gift. Oh well. That person already has presents. I just wanted ONE more.
I made it home to my whole family, wide awake and happy. Dekker and Laela were home from their last day of school before Christmas. Wavy was awake from her nap. Rowan and Solly were playing happily, up from their naps. Everyone was well! Laela and I ducked out together to drop off a Christmas gift quickly before supper, but now we’re all cozied in for the evening!
Well, they are. Brady and I are heading to practice for Christmas Eve at our church!! Are you guys coming? Its open to everyone, at 7:00pm on the 24th, and I hear the music is going to be good!! 😉
Happy Friday night, friends. Snuggle in and enjoy the very beginning of the holidays!
