Whatever: Shopping list

I need clothes.

Not need as in "I haven't shopped in days"

 but need as in

 " I have given every thing away and now I am going to be naked."

Pinterest has been my friend these past few months and now I am making a list of items I want to purchase to go along with what I have already. A plan, have I! 

Yoda, channeling am I.

Ha! 

Actually my plan is this: 

• buy a complete outfit  with items that will  go with other things I have
• buy two dresses that I can wear casually, but dress up for dinner
• buy a casual pair of fun shoes to go with shorts/dresses/jeans
• buy some tops that are statements to go with bottoms that I have 
• find two pairs of jeans (one blue and one colored) that fit 
•  

Whatever: Happy 2013

Happy New Year!

Whew Doggie...this one is gonna be a great one if my New Year's Eve is any indication!

Not really a new year's eve kinda girl...but we had tickets to see Old Crow Medicine Show at the Ryman this year. The evening was one of those that either was going to make or break us.

We had the following go wrong or at least not according to plan:

#1 We left Chattanooga late

#2 The restaurant we planned on eating that DOES NOT take reservations, took them on New Year's Eve ONLY. (They were full, of course).

#3 I bought the wrong tights.

#4 The restaurant we decided last minute to go to was in East Nashville (East Nasty for those of you who are Nashvillians) and there was NO GETTING a cab to leave.

#5 Ticket Master would not sell us two tickets together. We had seats in different sections 6 rows apart.

#6 It rained. Hard.

#7 There were NO CABS.

Steve, Roy, Minni and me

Merry Christmas!

I hope all was calm and bright in your necks of the woods.

Ours was lovely and truly wonderful.

I get so sentimental about the holidays and enjoy every single second of them once they are here.

We did it up right this year with the girls doing a fair amount of wrapping (they are Daddy's little wrappers) and after one lesson, they both are on their way to being master wrappers.

Dirt: Got my hair did

Got my hair did this morning.

 I grew up in Texas in the company of a lot of older ladies.

They all went to 'The Beauty Shop" and " got their hair done".

I love those terms. Salon sounds so snotty.

Beauty Shop....that is where I want to spend my time.

Hairdresser...so pedestrian.

Beauty operator...GLAMOROUS! 

I want to render the services of her.

Sigh. I am an old lady waiting to happen.

But I am fighting it tooth and nail.

Behold today's beauty shop visit's work.
