Sip, Snip, Shop

Hi everyone,
It's been a quiet week around here. We stayed home and watched the fireworks on TV: New Years at the Needle. It was a nice quiet evening, then Chuck, Beth and I had our usual sparkling cider and clinked our glasses at midnight.


Let's see, what else. Oh, Beth and I got our hair cut. Beth wears a head lamp when she's downstairs to see her paperwork better (we've tried so many lamps and other lights but she always goes back to her headband/light.) Because of it her hair has been cut from wearing it so much. And I guess the stylist didn't realize that because she actually gave Beth bangs. They're short enough now but it will be interesting when they start to grow out! 


My hair's the same, just a little shorter. I tried my best to take a selfie. I don't know how some of you take such great selfies! I'm thinking of you Leslie and Daenel!


We did some shopping. It's funny how the older we get the less we can be out and about. We wandered through Target, then headed over to Kohls. We had gift cards burning holes in our pockets! I took this when we were next in line at Kohls. I realized I hadn't taken any pictures and quickly got out my phone. "Smile!"


We stopped and got dinner, and took it home to eat it. It's crazy how excited we were to be home again!

I think tomorrow sort of begins the true back to work and school after the holidays. From what I hear the thousands of Amazon employees have to be back in the office beginning tomorrow. I'm so grateful my commute is only 5 minutes! 

I pray you all had a good New Year celebration and that the first week of January has been kind to you. Truly, take care of yourselves. Pamper yourself sometimes. You are loved and cherished.

'Til next time -

A new hair-do is just the thing to give you a boost after all the Christmas rush. You two look lovely.

My hair appointment is tomorrow. A nice way to start the year!! It looks like Beth found a cute Christmas sweater at Kohl's!! After Christmas sales are the best time to shop! Have a blessed week!!

I just wanted to say Happy New Year to you & your family, “mental health prosperity” sounds like a good phrase to abide for, for the coming year. I’m a long time reader of your blog but this is my first comment. Xx

Happy New Year! I enjoyed reading about your outing with Beth. She looks so cute with her new hair cut. I like it! And yours looks great too...that's a great selfie! I hope you have a great week ahead. Glad you took time out for YOU!

Haha!! Thank you for the compliment!! I struggle every single time I try to take a selfie. Yours is great!! We need to see more of you more often. And that hair cut is adorable. So is Beth's. I am thinking I will go a little shorter next I get my hair cut. I have those curtain bangs and want them to grow to a length closer to the rest of my hair.
We have hardly been out of the house since the holidays. Which suits me fine. I did order a white turtleneck for $10 from Banana Republic. Did you find good bargains at Kohls and Target?

We clinked glasses at about 6pm. LOL It always feels good to get that haircut. I go tomorrow. That's nice to have gift cards to enjoy. Happy New Year to you and yours!
