I feel like a woman! (Say this like the song, please)

Today, I spent time getting my femininity back.  I felt after working 12-13 hour days that include dealing with boo-boos, crying, potty accidents, testing, throw-up, glue everywhere, sneezing, coughing, hugs, I love you's, learning to write, snot, learning to read, smiles, learning the alphabet, singing, dancing, hearing "I can't," hearing my name 25,000 times, laughter, and feeling exhausted, that I deserved some pampering.  :-)  (Please see disclaimer at bottom.)

Nothing makes me feel prettier and sexier than a new haircut.  Heeeelllloooo new hairstyle.  Out with the drab, in with the layers.  I love the way I feel lighter, bouncier, and beautiful after "getting my hair did." I think I have finally found my new "Al."  For those of you who don't know, Al was my hair stylist for about 10 years.  I loved him.  I sat down, he did his thing, and I always felt like a model leaving his salon.  After moving to Dallas, I decided it was time to find someone a little closer than 4 hours.  It has taken me 2.5 years, but thanks to Matthew Tully Hairdressing and Enrique, Al has been replaced.  Relief.  Here is a picture of my hair after laying on the couch for a few hours, but just pretend it's not flat....

I took this by myself in the mirror, talent, yes?

After my fantastic haircut, I proceeded to eat lunch on the patio of Chipotle.  Yummy and relaxing!  It was a gorgeous day in Dallas.  Light breeze, sunny, 75 degrees - can you ask for better weather?  Then, a pedicure and manicure at this little place close to the house.  It might be dangerous that I could actually walk to get a pedicure, how convenient?  Of course, as soon as I got home, Bella helped ensure that both my fingernails and toenails had her mark on them.  Oh well, I knew come Monday it would get messed up anyway.  Be jealous of my dark purple toes and french manicured fingernails....

I finished the afternoon by being lazy on the couch.  I haven't had a day like this in over two months!!  I'm sure you are wondering what Nate was doing today, huh?  My poor husband was WORKING. Yes, while I spent the day relaxing, he spent the day slaving away at the office.  He is still at work as I am writing this.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be his day to relax!!

I'll leave you with a sweet picture of Bella playing with her towel a few minutes ago....

*Disclaimer: This is the only subject I could come up with for the blog.  Our life is pretty boring right now because we sleep, eat, work, repeat.  Sorry guys!!
