So I went to a new stylist last night to get a haircut. My friends from my mom's group have gotten great haircuts from her so I decided to give it a go, too. I told her I needed a wash and go cut and that I was trying to level out my layers. She cut it rather short, but I like it! It's cute the way it is and it's definitely wash and go. I can see why my friends go to her. She is expensive though--she's in the top tier of this salon I believe and in the end I spent a LOT of money on this haircut. I definitely don't see me getting my hair cut all that often by her. But since I'm trying to let my layers grow out anyway, I don't need to get it cut that often anyway.
I did a bit of shopping before I went to my haircut. I stopped at World Market and picked up some stuff. I picked up a new tea--Zhena's Gypsy Tea in Coconut Chai. It is SOOOOO good! I loved it so much. It's the perfect blend of Coconut and Chai. Neither are too strong. I also bought Sticky Fingers Scone mixes. I bought three, lemon poppyseed, black current and tart cherry. I made the black current this morning and the guys seemed to really enjoy them. It helps that I also had lemon curd, pumpkin butter and whipped honey on hand, too. YUM.
I surprised Matt last night and bought Mario Cart for him for Wii. He's been looking for it ever since he played it once. But it's out of stock everywhere he's looked. I found one left at the Best Buy where I went shopping at World Market. It's a fun little game. I was laughing hysterically trying to play it since I'm down right horrible at it. But it's fun!
I was at the mall and thought to myself, "I don't know the last time I was at a mall to shop." It's the honest truth. I don't shop at malls. I never find myself there. I go for specific things but I never really just bum around the mall. I didn't last night either. I wanted to get home and give Matt his game.
I'm glad I had such a great time last night because we didn't go to bed until 11. Of course, Maddy was up about 5 minutes after that and man, we were glad we hadn't just fallen asleep. However, last night was bad, bad, bad.... I don't even want to get into it, but Maddy was awake a ton. Something has GOT to give. This is just NOT working. Time to pick up my Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child book again. Part of the issue is that my little lady is quite stubborn!
Ok, well, off to hang out with the stubborn one. :) We're all tired today.
Tea of the day: Coconut Chai tea
