     No real AW here... Yesterday, I finished reading Art of Racing in the Rain (I had to pick it up since I saw so many positive comments about it) and loved it!  Coincidentally, I'm going to see a movie about Ayrton Senna tomorrow since DH loves anything related to racing.

     Yay for a four day weekend :-)! 

    Come and join our book club discussion on 9/10!  :)

    :-) I'd love to, if that's alright!! 

  • Man, this place in hopping today!  I'm swamped at work, have a bizillion things to finish by tomorrow, and we're closing at 2.  I'm not sure if that means I don't have to finish, or that I have to stay later... but either way I'm a little on edge today.  In about 20 minutes, I get to help interview a replacement for one of the two girls leaving my group, and I've never interviewed anyone before.  It's definitely just going to be a chat.  I can't think of any specific questions to ask her though... so hopefully the other girl going in with me has that planned out!

    Of course!  We'd love to have you.  It's at Sara's house in Keller.  I think 11-1.

  • I just made a cut & color appointment for next week. I'd love to have been able to get my hair done the day OF our family pictures (the 16th), but since we're driving over 5 hours to have them done, I just can't work it into the schedule. I'm hoping I'll be able to fix it myself and feel purty despite the long drive!

    Now... I just need to find "dark color, long layers" inspiration pics to take with me!

    I know...this is why I never read it until it was picked for book club even though I owned it.  But it's worth it, I promise!

    Think:  Kelly Clarkson.  Seriously... she was my inspiration for that cut!

    My longest layer right now is bra-strap-length in the back, and I'm thinking a really rich dark brown... something dark and warm for the fall!

    This is what I have right now... my natural dark dark color with a shade a smidge lighter highlights.    Long layers too.   I don't think I have any close up FB pics... I will try to post Vegas pics tonight... maybe one of them is good.

    EE! Thanks! I've been wanting to see your Vegas pics anyway!

    My issue is that since I had Dorothy, my hair thinned... a lot. My ponytail used to be Monster-can thick, and now it's pretty pathetic. I want lots more layers to try and make it look thicker until my body realizes I'm no longer nourishing another human and stops stealing vitamins from my hair.

    LOL... wellllll don't get too excited.   I don't think there are more than a handful.  Most involving food, ha.

  • Woo hoo!  I am going to AW Melodie--she got the job she interviewed for today! 

     At least according to her Facebook. 

  • I have a work-related AW - my boss gave me a major compliment today, in words and actions.  I can't say tons about it, because who knows who reads this, but basically he is really proud of how well I've done in the 6 months I've been here.  Not necessarily promotion-proud (which I'm not ready for anyway) but still, very very proud, and content to have me as the most senior, non-managerial person on the team.  I'm pretty pumped right now!!
  • Angie - YAY!  I know you have had a pretty stressful week due to the change of things at your job.  I'm so glad to hear that your boss appreciates you.  :)

    Stephie - so glad to hear that Melodie got the job.  :)
