If I could see off this mountain...

I've got Edwin McCain in the pod speakers, only 1 phone call at work so far (insert sigh of relief), minor 30 minute meeting… no major issues at all today. Me happy.

Oh, I had a tire blowout on Friday… that was fun.

Marshmallow fund is still $100.00 – it would have been more, but now we’ll need to fork out $100.00 or more toward the replacement of my newly dead tire (still using the doughnut – I fussed about the doughnut all weekend - all I kept saying was "freakin' doughnut tire...").

Hubby opened up his presents on his birthday, and not a moment earlier. I was determined not to let him open them early. I mentioned before that I bought him an iPod. The pids got him an oriental rug-looking bookmark, Schindler’s List on DVD, and the complete works of the Brothers Grimm. That’s a book I’m definitely going to read sometime – I didn’t realize all the stories I heard as a child are, in truth, watered down horror stories. In all, he really enjoyed his birthday. Oh, we went out to eat as well (had the blowout on the way back).

We got the remaining Buffy seasons we wanted as well. We’ve had a season 6 and 7 fest this weekend. I don’t think we watched cable once. Hmm… reality show reruns, Saturday night worn-out movie on a local channel, or Buffy marathon? One wonders why we buy so many DVDs.

I have had a major dilemma with my hair lately. For some reason, I have had the WORST tangled hair I have ever had in my whole hair-bearing life. I thought it might have had something to do with purple dye I recently put in on one side. I don’t think so though, because eventually all of my hair was hard to deal with. I finally decided it was my weak conditioner. I’m sticking with that diagnosis. Now I bought some kind of nexus-humectress something-or-other product. I used it for the first time last night. AMAZING difference, can you believe? I can actually run my fingers through my hair and not have them stick in a 5 second old tangle. Me happy again.

Yeah - new tires for a newer car aren't cheap, either!
