Potatoes & Hair...

The first of my Monday night feasts--a potato bar-- went well! Even thought I burnt the Velveeta & overcooked the broccoli, there was plenty of food & all 13 of my customers were happily in a tater coma. OK, this Velveeta stuff....I had never used it before. It's weird. I don't know if I'll use it again.
I didn't get a chance to take a lot of photos like I wanted to. Bummer. I was busy on potato patrol.
This is a scene in my kitchen that doesn't happen often: all 4 burners used at once! (And the oven is full of potatoes too!) I'm a cooking maniac. For toppings we had: broccoli, sauteed mushrooms, cheese sauce, chili, sour cream, salt-n-pepper, green onions, bacon, & butter.
I did manage to snap one photo of a magnificently stuffed tater...& the owners 'tats'.

And now, for what you've all been waiting for. Right?

On my way over to the salon for my hair appointment, I was thinking, "I wonder if I have enough hair to donate to Locks of Love?" And guess what? I did!! The awesome thing is that not all salons are part of that program, but my salon just recently partnered with them. Neato!

Ta-da! That's what 10 inches looks like! That is so freaky looking. Geez, could I smile any bigger? I bet I could.



Melissa at J. Christopher Salon & Spa cut my hair. I've never had a style like this before. I was tired of that mop on my head. You can't totally tell in this photo, but it comes to the bottom of my ears in the back & then angles down a little past my chin in the front. (Suzie, the masseuse, took the photos in the salon.)
I'm definitely getting used to it. I can't wait to play around with it more. But I'm totally excited that I can still put it in pigtails. Tiny, itty-bitty pigtails, but pigtails all the same! OK, so now I'm going to be looking for cute clippies & bobbies. I may have to raid my girls hair accessories.
After my hairy adventure, I picked up my 6 year old from school. She ran toward me & said, "You look pretty!!" My 4 year old came out of her classroom, flicked my hair with her fingers & said, "Uhhhh, what did you do that for? You look funny." HAHA!
