babysitting, healthy habits, and cheap haircuts
Hey friends, babysitting is fun!
Although sometimes I feel like Demi Moore as the 40-year-old babysitter in “Will & Grace” who Jack hires to babysit him for a day. But hey, she did have a “rockin’ bod“.
Current nail situation that I’m crazy about. They look like tiny quilts and coordinate with everything. I’m piling on the top coat and hoping they’ll stay on for 3 weeks like the ones I wore in Maui did. Pretty nails for lazy people! That should be their motto.
Right about the time I started talking about running my blog hits plummeted.
“You get more hits than I do,” the Boy offered (who has no online presence). Listen: I understand! Running is boring! I’ve hated running my whole life!
However, change is good. Especially healthy change. And as someone who has struggled with a variety of unhealthy addictions/habits over the years, any kind of hobby I can take up that will actually benefit my body sounds promising.
Last year at Erika’s wedding Christy told me she had taken up running, “Just to prove to myself that I could do it,” she smiled. That line caught my attention, and in a way, I’m doing the same thing. To shut up all those voices that say, “I’m not athletic” “I hate sports” “I was always the last one picked for teams” and, horribly, “Remember when you played basketball in middle school and wore flesh-colored nylons underneath your shorts? HA AH AH!”
Today I have Broad plans to go to her gym and then off to the hair salon for bangs. She went to a MasterCuts-type salon to get the bob so I’m sure we’ll just go back to the same place. After that awful 15 dollar haircut pre-Maui last year I vowed never to get a cheap haircut again…but I feel like getting a haircut today too. I mean hell–a few layers never hurt anyone, right? How badly could they screw it up*?
* stay tuned!
The only people who ever care about hearing someone’s running stories are other runners (like me, except I just run like a madwoman on a treadmill).
Good luck with your cheapo trim!
you’re right!
and thank you! I’m bringing the camera along for obsessive documentation (of course)…
