The Last Week of July

The last week of July is always an exciting week because several of my friends have birthdays and it is also preparation for my birthday in August. Since working from home I have been able to do a weekly catch up with my mentor. This week we decided to meet up on Friday. She shares a birthday with my friend El Momma so I planned on celebrating her birthday on our Friday meet up. On Friday morning, she texted me and asked if I wanted to get my hair done. It was sort of unexpected as I don't normally go out and get my hair done with friends but I agreed. So I met at her house and we drove over to BLO at the W Hotel in Hollywood. I didn't even know that place existed but apparently Gwyneth Paltrow is a backer of this popular updo place.
Apparently, my mentor bought a package and used two of her hair do's on our visit. Upon arriving I was given a book of hair do's. It wasn't very big but had some fun options. Most of them were with your hair down but I wanted to be different so I choose the totally different "High Society" updo. It was different all right. It was a big bun on my slicked back hair ala "Breakfast At Tiffany's." I felt like a different person. I ended up wearing it two days because I didn't want a good hair do to go to waste. But man, oh man, did they ever put a lot of product and bobbi pins in it! It took a while to get the pins out and to actually wash the hair spray product out in the shower. I am not sure hubs and Miss P liked it much as they both said they liked my hair the regular way two days later when my hair was back to plain jane me. But it was fun to experience something different even though it wasn't the most flattering look on me.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
