The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday, it was POURING when we woke up - and I think it was the hardest rain we'd ever walked to church in! I put my hair in a pony for the walk...to try to keep it from going all Monica Gellar on me. By the time church was over, it was such a nice day, and we had a wonderful time of rest at home. I ate the other half of the omelet-the-size-of-earth I got at breakfast the day before...and Braeya cleaned up what I couldn't.

* Monday night was HAIR OVERHAUL NIGHT FOR THIS GIRL. I'd not had it cut since November, and it was 37 kinds of straw-like and unhealthy. And I had about an inch of white all over my roots. So I spent 3 hours in the chair and came home with chopped off hair and - well - almost black hair. And I may or may not have completed the experience with a frappe. Ryan worked much harder than I did...mulching projects at the Greentown house!!!

* Tuesday night we went for a run and mine was a miserable failure. My injured knee, which had not hurt since Saturday DID NOT LIKE running. So I walked along and thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous, full hanging baskets on the path. We went home and made quesadillas for dinner, and my friends Ronda and Katy joined us for dinner before watching the Beth Moore study with me. My heart was THRILLED with the messy kitchen - because it meant we were showing love in our house, and I loved that. :) And at the end of the day, I threw together a quick beach themed mantel. It's kind of sparse, but I still loved it.

* Wednesday, Lynne and I worked a sticker stop in Fort Wayne, as you already saw. We had pretty much all the weather Indiana has to offer - except snow - and had a great time mingling with listeners and cleaning off windows! And I was a good girl and didn't defect to the Hobby Lobby clearance aisle.

* Thursday, we had CUPCAKES at work! How happy did THAT make me!?!? Ryan and I had a relaxing evening at home; I worked on my Beth Moore homework, which includes writing out the entire book of 1 Thessalonians...and I did my nails! Fancy pants new shade of pink that I got for my birthday! It is also possible that I was a major Miss Crankypants that night, but we will just thank Ryan for his grace and move on about THAT.

 * Friday was, as the picture said, a complete waste of makeup. Good GRIEF. I left home for work and forgot my medicine and had to come back, which made me late, and Ryan's truck wouldn't start, which messed up his plan for the day. Happy full moon!! We should have gone back to bed, but we went to work, and whilst I worked, I watched that house fire in Texas - of the house falling off the cliff into the lake. Some people watch bird nests - apparently I watch random house fires. That night, we didn't have a full date, but we did have our first frozen hot chocolate from Dairy Queen. It was AMAZING.

* Saturday was a LONG day, but a great one! I got up early and went to work with Ryan...did some scrapbooking while he worked. We scurried to Indianapolis after work and went on a fun date to Buffalo Wild Wings and through a park on a walk. Then we made our way to Ryan's cousin's graduation open house. Lots of good food and laughter and fun!
