A little housekeeping...

Aside from getting a really bad haircut yesterday combined with coloring my hair WAY too dark the day before (and no - I'm not taking any pictures of it.  Suffice it to say that I have really thick hair and I asked her to take some of the weight off....I ended up with what can only be described as a "Rachel" haircut....which would have been fine if this were 1997!), it's been a pretty uneventful two days.  But never fear - I'm having dinner at my mother's house along with some of her old friends tonight, so that should be good for some annoying shit...especially since she has a deep love of crystal knick-knacks on her coffee table and The Queen's other nickname is "el Destructo"!

Edit:  oh hell, why not?  It's not like I have been particularly shy about anything on this thing anyway.  Here's a picture after I tried to do something with it....blowing it out straight meant it stuck flat to my head and made me look like a dark blonde Joan Jett.  I pulled out the curling iron and went for the football helmet look.  Both looks suck and my hair is now fucked (hey Kelly - how's THAT for poetry?) Please ignore the dark circles under the eyes as beer WAS consumed last night. 

So let's do a little housekeeping here:

My BlogHopping the last few weeks has been done in the morning with coffee....during the week.  I know that this doesn't keep up with the "spirit" of WeekendBlogHoppers, but I have been spending weekend nights with friends and family lately and my husband is a retail manager so his "weekends" (and my time off from the kids) are during the week. 

I am behind on my memes.  I know that I owe Kelly one (the Six Quirks) and there was also one about "10 things that need to be said" (although I can't remember who tagged me for that).  I think I owe another one.  If you tagged me for anything and I haven't done it yet....please let me know!

I'm updating my blogroll and I have a very firm policy:  If you have added me to yours, then I will put you on mine.  Sometimes I click on the name of someone who leaves a comment and find their blog and see that I am on their 'roll.  Thank You!  It means so much to me that you enjoy what I write (although I still haven't figured out why yet).  So, if you are reading this and have me on your blogroll, and I don't have you on mine, please let me know and I will add you!

I'll soon be doing a little giveway of jewelry...most likely earrings.  It will probably be an every-other-week thing (or whenever the hell I feel like it).  I'm just trying to come up with an idea of a contest for it...so if you have any ideas - please pass 'em on and if I pick your idea for the format then you get to be the first winner!

And now I have to go kill my kids and smash the Wii to pieces.  That thing causes more fights in this house than anything!
