Owww, a hairdresser with a liquor license. I think I would definitely go for the wine alone. wink

We do not have such a thing around here. I would have heard by now.

Lucky you!

I once had a hairdresser that served liquor. Unfortunately she also got partook. I had to switch to a new girl after a few very uneven haircuts.

DD and I just got back from the hair salon and WE didn't get any treats!! (stomping my foot hard)
Glad you enjoyed yourself though.

They even gave me a box of treats! I froze them to put out Sunday. Yummy let me tell you!

Ha, that's a problem. I do see one throwing them back. Actually there is a bar next store with a door you can just pass thru. The bar/restaurant are clients. So all good.

I'm tired of know-it-alls. Just because I share something my son did doesn't mean it somehow annoyed me or that I need parenting help. He stuck a pillow in front of the cable box blocking the signal so I couldn't change the channel while he was playing. I jokingly referred to it as mommy problems. Yes, I know I can get up and move the pillow. Yes, I know I can tell him no and move the pillow. Or, maybe just maybe, I can enjoy play time with him and just turn off the TV for the time being. Good grief.

So yea. That's my Friday so far.

One of my mommy friends. It's rare when I can post something about my son that she feel the need to be a know-it-all. If she's not being a know-it-all, she poo-poos my son's accomplishments. Yes, all kids (barring disability) will hit xyz milestone but I'm still very proud of my son when he hits said milestone. But she'll come on and be all 'well, all kids do that' furious Sometimes I just want to smack her. Today was just one of many times that she's done this and I needed to let off some steam.

MIL is so proud of her grandson that she praises every move she makes. When she comments, it's always something like 'my wonderful grandson' or 'he is so awesome'.

But, Friday will get better. DH will be home in a half hour and we can dive into the final stages of planning and prepping for DS' first birthday party.

chef · Guru

Even FIL would've been all 'haha look at that, he knows how to block the signal' rather than saying I could just move the pillow.

NAOW · Vette's SS

WEll, c'mon chef. Don't you know how dangerous pillows are?! And TV?! And how if you let him block the signal once he will do it all the time and you will never be able to watch TV again. Geez...

:) I hope it's obvious that I'm teasing :)

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Chef. don't be shy. Tell this know-it-all to shove it.

We have been back for a little bit now. Movie was great. Night at the Museum. It really does the movies justice. I highly recommend it.

Then we went to Steak N Shake.

It was a nice afternoon.

Sounds like everyone has been busy and sounds like everyone has had a rather nice day.

I would delete her posts, but that's just me. You can still do that on FB, can't you? You can tell I don't post much! I usually just 'like' stuff and share things that I want my friends to see.

Regardless, have an awesome time with your planning the celebration!!

Lily: Telling her to shove it takes effort I don't wish to expend. It's not one of those friendship-ending things. Just need to let off steam here and there.

HM: I could delete her posts but it's really not worth the effort. I'm not the only one who has objected to how she is but she isn't open to hearing it right now, if that makes sense. But, we will have fun party planning. We have most of the stuff but need to make sure everything is accounted for.

One guest is annoying me though. The party games and favors are geared towards toddlers since its a toddler's party. Said guest has 3 older (14, 12, and 10) and 1 younger (5) kids and is incommunicado about whether or not her older kids will be interested in participating in the games, if they'd like a goodie bag and what they would appreciate being in it, etc. I won't rework the games but I will make sure there's enough treasures to go around. I don't mind putting together a special goodie bag for the older kids. I'm sure the 5 year old will enjoy the games and the goodie bags we already have but doubt the older ones will. She won't respond to either my or DH's recent messages to her but she did confirm she was attending a couple weeks ago. I also need to know how many people she is bringing since it could be possible one or more of her kids might go to a friend's house that day. Grrrrr furious

Watching a show called Monster Fish. This episode is about bull sharks in rivers. Makes me wonder what bull shark tastes like. I've had thresher shark and wasn't impressed.

They just pulled out a baby bull shark. What a cute little thing! I wanna pet it!

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

My hair salon serves wine. Don't know if they have a license to do so. Some laws here are upheld loosy goosey, really upheld only when things are out of hand. I love my state for that reason. The police make their own opinions about situations as to whether someone should be arrested on an infraction. They are also very discreet. In small towns it works.

Well crap. I can't find the cigars I bought my uncle for Christmas. And I am sure that when I ask my mom if she's seen then, there will be some comment about if I cleaned my stuff up I wouldn't lose it......I'm hoping I come across them.

Yes, the basement is a bit of a disaster. I spend most of my free time helping her, which she seems to forget. And the other time, I'm resting. I hate being so tired and useless. Sigh.

I'm going to do my best down here tonight. And finish wrapping Christmas presents (including the pile from my dad :-/)

I have no idea what I bought. I went to a smoke shop and asked for something nice.

They have been found. I asked my mom when she got home. She said of course she knew where they were: right here on top of the humidor you bought. She turned to where the humidor I had put away used to sit, and was stumped. Turned out they fell off the humidor and slid down between the couch cushions

Meh, I smoked one in Paris....no biggie. I'd rather be secure knowing Russia (or some other country who hates us) can't get so close. This is a slap in the face to the men who were on that ship during the Cuban Missile Crisis. One of which was my father.

The kids do this texting back and forth. I ask "why not just call and talk to them?" And they look at me like I'm speaking some strange unearthly language.

Text him. Have as normal of a conversation as you can that way.

Maybe not being casual will highlight how cool you are. Playing mind games never works. If you are excited to talk to him let him know. I know it's not the popular answer but guys are just as insecure as we are in my opinion...lol

But nothing can take the place of good honest conversation. It becoming a lost art.

Be different from the other women he has known. Be memorable. Create memories, not text history.

Thats what I want to avoid. I've made my interest clear, I just don't want to come on too strong, ya know? When it takes him a few minutes to answer me, I don't want to answer right back like I'm sitting here staring at the phone waiting for it to beep. I'm pretty out of practice at this dating thing.

texting is easier, for many reasons. At the moment, because he's at work and can't talk, but can text
