I have been on the go for the past two weeks, so I think that today I am going to just relax and get some 'house chores' done. I have organizing, a scrapbook to work on, a sweater to knit, laundry and coupons to clip. Not to mention the regular things, showering, making the bed, lunch and possibly meeting up with a friend later on. I told her that if she wanted to go out I would go, but I wanted to go early. My friend just called and she is not even close to being ready, although neither am I. I am getting my hair cut and colored next week so I have to go to the store to pick out the color. The last one I picked was really close to my natural color and I want to go blonde for the summer. So I have to pick a lighter color and have Cassie add some highlights in a light color. It's nice having a girl who goes to school for hairdressing in the family. She needs someone to practice on and I need my hair done. I just hope I can pull off blonde, especially since as of right now I don't have a tan. I guess I will have to try it and see what happens. I can always go back to my natural color if I don't like blonde.
I have to look for a few classes as well. I want to take a cooking class, a yoga class and a knitting class. Not all at once, but I need to sart looking.
Ok, back to the relaxing day, lol!
As the cleanup from The Blizzard of 2010 slowly continues, my speech and dexterity slowly begin to get better. I have been going through my own personaal form of hell this past wweek. I couldn't write (say goodbye to those Christmas cards). I couldn't walk without falling (bye to driving, unskinned knees and elbows, unassisted bathing, and general independence). I couldn't talk and make sense (I think this was the hardest. I am big into family and didn't want them to see me not being able to speak so I stayed home)
I am thankful for having such a wonderful partner with Rob and an understanding family. So Rob and I are planning a trip. I haven't felt good so we were debating but after an IM session with my cousin, I really just want to see them. And it looks like the weather is nice for the weekend. We will be staying at "The North Pole". More specifically, the Adirondack Mountain region. It would be great if one of us skied or snowboarded or even went tubing. But we are indoor people. So some of the beauty of the Adirondacks is lost on us. No worries though, there's a lot to do, and I heard a rumor about a little girl getting a wii. There are also many family members that I have a lot of catching up to do with. And really that's the reason why we are taking a 6 hour journey. Yes, I did say SIX hours. And it is a loooooong six hours. Since we are leaving so late, it will be dark for most of the ride (making reading impossible). Hopefully I can knit in the dark to give me something to do other than look for a radio station that we can both agree on. Happy New Year to anyone out there.
